This past weekend I took the Basic Pistol 2 course at the Austin area-based KR Training school. It was a 4-hour course with roughly one hours of class room material and three hours of live fire on the outdoor range. I new more basic theory about gun shooting and I had some practice from the…
Alright. I know it’s not typical for me to post about anything else but health and fitness related topics, but the topic of self-defense is something that I’m interested about and, naturally, want to learn more about. And, as I already mentioned in my previous post, I am not going to restrict myself to mainly…
This is mainly a note to myself (you don’t really have to read it), and to a lesser degree it is an explanation, if anyone should care, about changes that will incur on this website starting today… – – – Since I’ve had my own website – going on 12 years now – I’ve always…

I’ve signed up for it a few months back and now the MovNat weekend is right around the corner. To spare you my own explanation of what MovNat is here is a paragraph from the MovNat website:…
