It has been my personal observation that looking at the details around you, one can avoid trouble. I used to deliver papers at 2am till 6am in the morning for extra money and trouble would always find me. Reaons for this is a) Predictable Route b) Gassed up Delivery Van c) driver who jumps in and out d) no one around commercial and transportation areas where papers are dropped off. e) economically depressed area. The time spent on the route boosted my B.S. detector, my sense of awareness (if its not a car jacker, its a skunk or ferrel dog) and things like my night vision increased dramatically. Awareness really kept me safe. Martial Arts Practice kept me confident and calm (er) and able to act in the face of potential danger. My demeaner (spelling?) kept me less of a target on most occasions. After running into a few problems and talking with others in my position and becoming "realized" with those patterns of problems, I developed a sense of "profiling" trouble situations and avoided them. I think with the term profiling one thinks of a computer making checks on a comparison list, get enough check marks, you get profiled (possibly unjustly) however profiling someone by their actions, intent, cover story, when and where you find them etc.. has really saved my butt a few times. Even though this has nothing to do with national security or police tactics, for any martial artist out there, some essential skills can be developed to keep ones personal safety and the personal safety of the ones around them at a higher level. Martial Arts is about development of people in many ways. Certainly personal safety should be one of them. (I worked with a guy who was a good fighter, but his personal safety level was low, trouble followed him and found him quickly, not a bad guy, just not a safe guy) -Lance Cross -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date.

I am reading the Effective Offense one now and enjoying every page. It goes well with the dvd's by Guru Plinck or Cliff Stewart's Principles of WAR. This is FOOD for thought,or rather Smorgasbord for thought. I remember years ago on the Animal list discussing these very topics. Congrats Animal,...you made the big time!
