Recently a song has hit the airwaves which caught my attention. It is by Eminem called – Love The Way You Lie, featuring Rihanna. It delves into the veritable roller-coaster of emotions and actions of a relationship in the world of domestic violence. As this song touches on these important issues, I believe it can help bring awareness to the subject of domestic abuse and hopefully help many in our society to take action against it. Here is the new and powerful video for the song.
Just passing on Dana White’s pre-event video blog at UFC 117. It should be a great cards of MMA matches.
Reason Number 1.
The philosophy! It’s about being natural! It’s about being human! It is about being a good person. Here is a great explanation of Systema’s philosophy from Mikhail Ryabko.
Losing One’s Temper Brings On Problems ……..
There was a boy with a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, to hammer a nail in the back fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the
fence. Then it gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to
hold his temper then to drive those nails into the fence.
Finally the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days
passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all
the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to
the fence.
“You have done well, my son, but look at all the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. you can put a knife in a man and draw
it out, it won’t matter how many times you say ‘I’m Sorry,’ the wound is
still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.”

Troy White
99% of personal protection is using ones brain! So many confrontations, attacks and fights could be and can be avoided or altered by using simple methods utilizing the brain instead of brawn! Probably the most important mental aspect of self protection is Awareness! Although it sounds simple for one to be aware so few people actually are. To explain awareness we may use Color Code model based on one first devised by the pistol shooting coach Jeff Cooper. The model is as follows:
Although the chart gives four Code levels awareness could be simplified even further into the fact that either; ‘one is aware on what is going on around themselves’ or ‘they are not!’. A sad factor working against awareness is apathy. “That would never happen to me!” or “Assault is illegal so I should be able to go where I want and not worry about being attacked!” Sure, these and similar ideas are great but far from realistic! One should never have to worry about violence or being assaulted but apathy to reality could get you hurt or killed! Sorry! it’s not a perfect world! Conflicts, confrontations, attacks, assaults and murders do happen. Be safe and be aware! There is no need to be paranoid, just be aware. Know that you are in control when you take action. If you are apathetic you are a victim! If you are aware you are in Control!
