This weekend Mickey ( @carrytrainer ) and I took our new little coffee trailer across the country to support some people we love, our friends. The journey took us to the outstanding #revolverfest event in South Carolina. As we walked from bay to bay with coffee for the instructors and video equipment, I was reminded of why I love taking in new information, trying new things, and surrounding myself with people who challenge possibilities.

Watching this man shoot is a reminder that we can spend a lot of time focusing on what makes something difficult or we can over focus on what it takes to do it.
Hard things look different for everyone. Sometimes the challenge is physical. Sometimes it’s mental. Sometimes it’s starting over, trying something unfamiliar, or being willing to look a little foolish while you learn. Who cares.

Here's the thing, you don't grow by only doing what you're already comfortable doing.

I'm not interested in living a life dictated by my comfort zone. I want to keep learning, keep pushing, keep exploring, and keep discovering what I'm capable of.

We don't get unlimited time here. Do the hard thing. Take the class. Learn the skill. Challenge the assumption. Try something that scares you a little.
Don't wait until life gets easier to start living bigger.
Your circumstances may shape your path, but they don't have to define your potential.

The root word of "fundamental" is the Latin word fundamentum, meaning "foundation" or "groundwork".

We all know without a solid foundation, the structure built above is weak.

@instructor_zee and @preparetoperform will help you construct a strong foundation at the next S12 Experience.

Being capable of shooting well is a tiny component of being capable. Emergency Medical interventions-Grappling-Legal Use of Force-Becoming the calm in the storm.

The next S12 is October 21-24, 2027 in Middle Tennessee about an hour south west of Nashville.
We are currently running the early bird rate for this pinnacle training event.

We are training to defeat bad guys and the truth is the true villian may be looking at you in the mirror.
If this is you, before you spend another penny on self defense/firearms, seek real help.

Here is disgusting reality.
Just in the US alone, 20-24 people per minute are victims of domestic violence, aka, a fancy way to say "getting beat".

Some of you grew up in it...some of you do it.

Ask any first responder in any town USA and they will tell you they see it every shift.

I have personally seen more than my fill of it.

There is a reckoning for your deeds on this side or the other. Read it again.

If you hurt women, kids, or anyone for reasons other than legitimate self protection, you are a coward. Read that again too.

If you are being abused and don't know what to do, reach out, we will find you help in some way.

Your life matters. Your kids life matters.

I know 99.9% of the abusers who see this aren't man enough to watch or read, but perhaps 1 or 2 will snap the F awake and begin being a man. Is that you?

If ever you should find yourself Capable of walking away from violence, do it.
Notice I said, "Capable", meaning, clearly we wouldn't run, leaving a loved one in need, or perhaps turning to flee would expose to greater potential danger than putting up an immediate defense.

Most of us know this stuff, but I've seen plenty of people who know a thing, do the opposite when angry, altered by substances or stressed out. Because we have this tendency we must train to do the right thing.

When I go out to dinner ir for a drink, the last thing I want is to be sliced open by what is certainly NOT a sterile knife.

Keep this next part in mind. You may be a world champion fighter and still be cut, stabbed, beat, or even killed. People have friends willing to fight and anyone and anything can be a weapon.

Violence has so many variables outside of the individuals control that unless it's completely unavoidable, DON'T engage unless you must and I repeat myself here. Usually there is a choice.

What's the Goal?
To live a long and full life.

We have the S12 Experience coming October 1-4 in Colombia, TN-Trauma medicine, Handgun and Grappling.

This took place in Covington KY. We held a couples event near this area a few years back.

I hope your gal is prepared to defend herself and others. It's more than a wish.

We visited our good friends at @1776restaurant for supper last night. As we got home she pulled this blade out of her top.

Me- "Where did that come from?"
Her- "Right here."
Me- "What else you hiding?"
Her- "Don't worry about it."

I made her pose so I could share.
Being armed isn't just owning the things and I'd say it's really not just having them with you.

Capability is coupled to training, attitudes, awareness and willingness to act.

This is Bennett encapsulated in a split second.

Behind us the sun in racing to say goodbye, slipping into the Wyoming Rockies, while we are east bound to home.

Thunderheads are spread across the plains to the east. They are giving us a show in the darkening sky with millions of volts of electricity.

She has to see it, feel it and try to capture it.
