Realistic Training Environments

An article was posted at Low Tech Combat recently, talking about the reasons to train in and around your vehicle.




This subject should be addressed, especially for those in the realistic self defense community. In the 70's, I read articles of Al Dacascos training in a studio that had a bar (with stools) inside.


I believe you need safe, flat, well lit areas to practice basic movements, experiment with new drills, etc. Once a person understands basic movements, move directly into confined environments and discover for yourself the actions that work, need modification, etc. How can you use the tight confines of a vessel to your advantage? Generally, there are also many more 'improvised' weapons available on board - how can that work to your advantage (as well as disadvantage)?



This applies to weaponry as well, particularly knives and firearms, not just empty handed skills.


Hope to get more posts in during the coming months.


Train hard, train smart, train always.

Cruisers Forum

Just finished reading a thread on the situation in the Philippines on Cruisersforum.

Very informative and lively discussion.

Overall, a good source of news/information on a wide variety of topics pertinent to cruising and boating in general.

Highly recommend using it in your planning.

Happy New Year 2012

Starting the year off with a post.

Legal Disclaimer

Apparently, Maritime Vital Asset Protection, LLC has been investigated by the FL Dept of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Licensing.

Allegedly, I have conducted business or advertised the business of a Security agency without a valid Class "B" License.

To set the record straight - I and the company do not possess a Class "B" License. For a company with no clients (and no income) - the costs are above what we can afford. Any services (security services) that would be done would be referred to an appropriate Class "A" or Class "B" Licensed Agency. This is obviously not specified anywhere in past postings here, otherwise I would not be posting this.

Thank you to the Department of Agriculture for pointing out this error.
