 Knife and Tomahawk 1 is a 2 hour clinic being offered by Mr. Robert Nichols, Master certified Instructor at Union's United Tae Kwon Do Academy. He has more than 20 years martial arts experience, including 10 Black Belts from different schools and organizations. He is a 2 time inductee of the United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame, 2012 Instructor of the Year, and 2013 Ninjutsu Master.  The course will cover the theory and fundamentals of using a fighting knife and tomahawk for striking, cutting, hooking, and trapping. The price includes a training knife and training tomahawk which are yours to keep so you can practice what you've learned in the clinic. Knife and Tomahawk 1 will be presented at Union's United Tae Kwon Do Academy at 2020 Morris Ave. Union, NJ 07083 on August 15th at 1pm and is sponsored by Black Bag Resources, LLC. Participants should wear comfortable street clothes and be prepared for an active 2 hours of physical training. Register here! (Registration closes August 5th!)  I did a few brief videos showing size and fit of a few Condor brand Plate Carriers for a Law Enforcement customer. She's putting together an "Active Shooter" rig, and wanted a little more information than she was getting from the manufacturer- some of those elements you only discover when handling a product. She's looking for a balance of protection and speed in putting the rig on. It will mostly ride in her trunk, unless the situation arises where she needs the added Level III protection offered by the AR500 Armor plates she purchased from Black Bag Resources a few weeks ago. In short, she needs a quick rig for one of the worst SHTF scenarios an officer might face. It's my job to help her build the rig she needs, so this was a great way to get her the info she wanted even though she's a few hours away. I'm sharing them publicly just in case there's a nugget of info that helps someone else. Keep in mind, we're discussing these items for a specific purpose for a specific customer. Some of the issues I point out in the videos won't be issues for other people or other applications. Grab some popcorn, and enjoy the show!

We use rubber training knives, but we need a practical way to carry and deploy them. When it comes to how we deploy and utilize our training tools, the closer we can get to the real counterpart the better. Here is an example of some clever sheaths made by our good friend MrTLSimon specifically for this purpose. Please check out his page: http://www.youtube.com/user/mrtlsimon Product Highlight: Light My Fire Spork We really like these because they are light weight, sturdy and perfect for bug out bags or office use. Best of all, they won't give you lead poisoning. This is a quick side by side comparison of two popular brands of parachute cord bracelets: Semper Fi Supplies and Survival Straps. I outline my preferences.
This is quick side by side comparison of Gerber's LMF, Prodigy, and Bear Grylls Ultimate Survival Knife. It's not a case of the same blade being mounted on three different handles as some folks have suggested.
