It’s late… I need to get to bed. Tomorrow is going to be a full day in the Combined Skills class. I shall have a full review of the class afterwards.

A few quick things.

• Tom Givens is a no bullshit guy. He’s funny, but he runs a no bullshit and serious class. He’s trying to put you in the mindset of fighting for your life, and there’s no room for bullshit in that. I can appreciate that.
• You will fight like you train. This is training for fighting.
• SouthNarc has some wicked strong forearms.
• Rain is wonderful. Kinda screws with plans a bit, but on the whole I’m thankful we’re getting it because we need it so badly.
• I can draw from concealment and get 2 hits in the proper target zone (between collarbone and diaphragm, between the nipples) at 5-ish yards (forgot exactly how far we were from the targets) in about 2.3 seconds… draw in 2. That’s pretty good, but I need to do better. I know I can do better.
• Even when he’s not 100%, Karl Rehn is still a damn fast shot.
• Dry fire is essential, but you still gotta get to the range and throw some lead downrange now and again. Curse this ammo shortage.
• SouthNarc’s tactical stuff is solid work. Managing Unknown Contacts (MUC) is something everyone needs to know.
• Simplicity. It’s where it’s at.
• To borrow an old Kuk Sool thing, “I need more practice, sir.”

More later….
