Standardized Equipment & Training
Over the many years, I have been involved in close combat concerns my methodologies have evolved as would be expected I suppose.
My weapons and training procedures were selected more on the first or secondhand advice of others instead of my own realistic needs, common sense, and research. With age, comes wisdom or so the saying goes as I am still waiting for the latter. Nonetheless, I have taken great steps to standardize with my family, as a whole, being the governing factor.
The guidelines for this are as follows:
1) Simplicity and safety of use.
2) Ease of basic training.
3) Minimal maintenance of both techniques and weapons.
4) Common weapons and calibers.
5) Emphasis on observation and avoidance above engagement.
Please don’t misunderstand me here, we’re not running a family boot camp. We all have our own lives, families, jobs, and other interests to deal with. However, in discussion, or when we get together, we tend to cover some or all of our so-called program. Over time, the results begin to become apparent.
Our goal is simple as well. It is to maintain the health, safety, and security of our family and ourselves, this being regardless of current location or conditions.
Just some thoughts to ponder and perhaps they will save some of you a little time and money in the future, oh lest I forget, and improve the overall security of your own family as well.
