Website: Straight Foreward in a Crooked World

I watch this blog in my RSS feeds, and the guy has a lot to say about self-defense and making the most use of your brain to keep yourself alive. His bio is worth reading also to see where he's coming from, and his Dark Arts for Good Guys series of posts is pretty interesting too. I'll just include an excerpt from one of the posts to illustrate kind of what he deals with:

Think for a second of this scenario whether you are a man or woman.

You come home late at night through the front door, pull the key out of the lock, and walk to the other end of the house. Something doesn't seem right and you look back behind you to see a 6'5" 230lbs male in a ski mask with a 10 inch bladed knife between you and the door.

Before you go into that clearing of the holster of that gun you may or may not be wearing. Break down your own personal mindset here.

The initial sucking in of air and "oh shit" is completely allowed because we all (a-l-l) get caught off guard in life but the next response should be in your head should be:

"GO!"

and by "GO!" I mean you need to have a mind set of being able to Go-straight-at-him with a total intent on leaving him dead on the floor. Whether you are a man or a woman.

I looked at this. I turned it off. There was no thesis sentence.
