Hello Everyone,

I wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year and hope 2020 is going to be a great year for everyone.

Let me start by saying I'm now recently been able to get back into the hard training schedule in some of the fighting styles I recommend on this blog.

Understand this, I have received some not so kind emails regarding this blog, but also some very sympathetic emails too.  Thank you for your words.

I recently came into ownership of a book called H2H Hand to Hand Combat by Greg Thompson.  Greg Thompson is the creator of SOCP (Special Operations Combatives Program) that has been used by the U.S. Army, etc.  I'm not going to go into how and why I came into the ownership of the book for certain reasons, but let me say I was absolutely surprised how obvious the majority of the techniques were from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, and Muay Thai.

Now here is a perfect example that supports my argument on this blog.  If a man who has been sought out to train U.S. military and law enforcement personnel uses these techniques and the U.S. military approves then shouldn't the average guy who isn't in the military use them too to defend himself in a fight?  Heaven forbid he decides to waste time and money studying a crappy art (San Soo) and coming across a guy who knows the fighting styles recommended on this blog in the street.
