"One thing has always been true: That book ... or ... that person who can give me an idea or a new slant on an old idea is my friend." - Louis L'Amour


"Providing a first step on a path to self-reflection." - C. E. James

"Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider..." - Francis Bacon

"What is true today may be reevaluated as false not long after. Judgements are frequently based upon a set of "temporary" circumstances surrounding them. Conflicting ideologies can exist simultaneously. Antagonistic dualities are complementary aspects of a unified whole: are seen as mutually dependent mirror images of each other." - Nahum Stiskin

Kenpo Gokui

The lines of the ken-po goku-i are set from an atomistic aspect simply because it is the manner in which the brain learns. Its nature is completely holistic and like the I Ching must be in a form that promotes learning and understanding so a person can see, hear and grasp the nature of a holistic system. The gokui is a method to teach us how to be holistic. Its terseness is the best that can be done to convey its holistic meaning.

A person's heart is the same as Heaven and Earth while the blood circulating is similar to the Sun and Moon yet the manner of drinking and spitting is either soft or hard while a person's unbalance is the same as a weight and the body should be able to change direction at any time as the time to strike is when the opportunity presents itself and both the eyes must see all sides as the ears must listen in all directions while the mind must grasp all the tactile, olfactory and gustation data not seen on all sides and not heard in any direction

Self Defense and Interviews

What the heck is this guy talking about now. I have expressed some thoughts on true self defense and found out that I can extend self defense or self protection beyond actual attacks against you and how you handle it, etc.

Lets just say that you were attacked. Lets say that you defended yourself. Lets also say that you stayed within the boundaries of the law in that defense.

The Police were called and they are now "interviewing" you on what occurred, what do you do? You are a good guy, you did nothing wrong, you simply protected yourself against some person intent on doing you harm and you want to make sure your "story is told." Your "side of things" is important to you and you have the urge, a strong urge, to tell your story to the good guys, the police interviewing you right this instance. What do you do?

Well, if I have it right you talk to them telling your story and in your enthusiasm tell a lot more than just the facts and the officer is recording this both on paper and in his mind.

Wrong! What you do in this instance and any and all instances where dealing with a police officer you say absolutely nothing, nadda, not one word. You take the fifth! He may say that it makes you look guilty and it may even get you cuffed and taken "down town." You say nothing, the only words out of your mouth no matter how innocent is, "I am using my fifth amendment rights officer." You then shut up and remain silent no matter what he says or does. If you do "down town" exercise your right to an attorney.

Now, don't believe me...but listen to both of these video's, both, then tell me what you would do.

Video One

Video Two

These video's were initially brought to my attention on a email list run by the wife of Marc MacYoung, author of the No Nonsense Self Defense web site.
