This past week, we were able to train with Master Joey Walker, a very seasoned martial artist with a large array of skills. We learned some defenses against attackers with a large blade like an axe, tomahawk, or machete. We also trained on various gun defenses in various positions (from behind, in front, seated)
On Saturday, we were able to learn some gun fighting skills and drills from Marc Dambrosio, a marine instructor stationed at Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center in Bridgeport. The gun training was a literal blast, and I was able to learn a lot of new drills that I could use to improve my shooting and gun use.
Being a well rounded martial artist and 360 Martial Arts black belt, we need to have a variety of skills to handle a variety of situations. We need to have the ability to walk away from a fight, avoid a fight, talk ourselves out of a fight, or finish a fight. We don’t know where that fight might take place. It could take place standing up, on the ground, against a knife, against a gun, or in a car. So, we train to be adaptable, and I know that I train to run away...fast....very fast. Hee hee!
During last week’s training, I once again found out that, “You don’t know what you don’t know.” So, you must train, and you must train with others with more skill then you. For example, I could target shoot, but I didn’t know how to pull from a holster correctly shoot then reload. I learned a gun draw technique this weekend, and now, I must practice that skill that I did not know.
So, I must go out and Pew pew. Pew pew.
My training for last week follows:
