Thanks for the info, if I get over there for more than a day I'll shoot him a message and try to work some training out. There's an MMA class at...
Thanks cx4 can you PM me his name? I will have to make runs to Bagram eventually so maybe I can look him up while there.
Thanks for the recommendations and well wishes. KAF isn't too bad, even though almost every other martial arts site that isn't selling something...
My apologies if I'm posting in the wrong place, been a long time since I was posting here. Regardless if any members are currently on Kandahar...
Here's hoping he treats the military with support (like Clinton didn't) but not as methods to increase his stock options (like Bush did). And I...
Usually it's as simple a request as "Try to come up with a grappling response to this attack." if we're trying to work on overall grappling. But...
And bumping into someone in a public, crowded place is virtually inevitable. I think it was Nagato who said: "If you're in a fist fight, you will...
