0302 – Training and Practice Dangers We Ignore

May 29, 2012 by PaulCarlson Leave a Comment

When it’s training time there are certain risks that immediately come to mind. I don’t even think about live fire without a good back stop, eyes and ears. When its time to go hands on, I always wear my mouth guard and depending on the level of the folks I’m working with and the planned activities, we gear up from there. In my experience there are issues that we come across in training that are obvious safety issues and then there are the more subtle issues that need to be dealt with. Today we are going to focus on the subtle side and talk about the training and practice dangers we ignore.

0301 – Having the Guts to Cut the Cord

May 25, 2012 by PaulCarlson Leave a Comment

Life is full of struggles! Some are physical, some are intellectual, some are financial, some are emotional. The list of challenges we face goes on and on and what amazes me is how often we get in the way of solving our own problems. Right now I am realizing that I am in the midst of making some ridiculously painful decisions regarding my pickup truck. The process that I am going through reminds me of something that I often see my students struggle with in class. So, today we are going to talk about my 1995 Dodge and training.

0300 – Safety as a Concept In Training and in Life

May 23, 2012 by PaulCarlson Leave a Comment

Sometimes it seems like we live in a world of rules. Often times these rules are in lists that are so long and complicated that they are impossible to “know” and even more difficult to follow and enforce. The barrage of rules can be so overwhelming that at times, by some, the rules are simply ignored. This obviously leads to the exact opposite effect that the rules themselves were intended to cause. Today we are going to take a look at safety in training and how we can apply those principles to life.

0288 – Four Factors that Can Restrict Your Self-Defense Training

March 30, 2012 by PaulCarlson 2 Comments

I know that I am not the only one that feels like I am being pulled in 100 different directions at the same time. Between family, work and other things that I SHOULD be doing, then all the things I WANT to do, I could easily fill 36 hour days. Training can be tough to fit in with our busy modern lives. Today we are going to take a look at four factors that can get in the way of training. Identifying what is in the way is the first step in fixing the situation.

0282 – 4 Reasons Why I Am Switching from 45 ACP to 9mm and Why You Too Should Make the Change

March 15, 2012 by PaulCarlson 23 Comments

This podcast is a little bit painful to post. You see, for the past two years I have been eating crow as I made the switch from .40 S&W to .45 ACP. Just about the time I was really getting into my groove with the my Templar Custom Arms Glock 25.5 chambered in .45 ACP I’m going to make another switch. Yup, I’m making the switch to 9mm. I have a Caracal F that I have been testing (more videos coming early next week if things go well) and I will probably have a couple of 9mm Glocks built up in the next month. I will be testing those guns heavily in the next few months and one of them will be replacing my Trusty Glock 25.5.
