E D I T O R I A L Violence Sometimes Is The Best — And Only Solution THE bromide sounds so good and comfy: “Violence never solves anything!”. That’s why so many people accept it. That’s why they unthinkingly pass it on. That’s why, despite it’s being bullshit, the damn catch phrase has become almost a guide for those poor saps who now live in a feral world and who feel helpless to deal with it. “Well,” they tell themselves, “violence certainly is no solution. We’ve just got to find ways to encourage dialog with troublemakers, and talk out our differences.” The truth is that while always regrettable, recourse to physical force is sometimes desperately necessary and completely justifiable. This fact —— this concept —— was once understood as being axiomatic. No sane person questioned, for example, that the absolute right to self-defense existed for everyone; everywhere, and at all times. Today, a great deal of confusion has been allowed to permeate the minds of formerly sensible people, and we observe such horse manure as “zero tolerance for violence” being announced as policy in the public schools —— making a bully’s victim as culpable as the bully if that victim defends himself.

For such a generous compliment we gratefully and graciously offer our heartfelt thanks! That’s quite a compliment, indeed. As most who have been following our writings since the late 1960’s know, William Fairbairn and Eric Sykes (as well as Rex Applegate, Pat O’Neill, Charles Nelson, and several other of the WWII era close combat teachers) have been a powerful and quite permanent influence on the development of our System, American Combato (Jen•Do•Tao), and on virtually all of our thinking and training in regard to close combat, self-defense, personal weaponry, and individual survival, since around 1960. FROM KILL OR GET KILLED — 1943I. REX APPLEGATE (WITH KNIFE) ILLUSTRATES HOW TO ATTACK AN ENEMY IN HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT USING THE FAIRBAIRN-SYKES DOUBLE- EDGED COMMANDO KNIFE. THE PRACTICALITY, WISDOM, AND NO-NONSENSE DOCTRINE THAT FORMED THE BASIS OF SUCH SKILLS AS APPLEGATE AND OTHERS PROMULGATED DURING WWII , IS WHAT WE SEEK TO PASS ON.

Police Commission Identifier/Call Number: 0244 Physical Description: 50 Linear Feet40 boxes Date (inclusive): 1931-1992 Date (bulk): bulk Abstract: On April 29, 1992, the city of Los Angeles erupted into riots after four LAPD officers accused of beating motorist Rodney King were acquitted of all criminal charges. The effects were catastrophic; in total, the chaos persisted for six days and resulted in 58 deaths, 2,383 injuries, and nearly a billion dollars in property damage. The extent of the human and material losses incurred from the riots, coupled with intense public scrutiny of the LAPD, led the Los Angeles Board of Police Commissioners to establish the Webster Commission to assess law enforcement's performance in connection with the riots. Included in this collection are interviews, article clippings, broadcasts, reports, emergency operations plans, and internal LAPD documents that were collected and analyzed by the Commission over the course of its study.

E d i t o r i a l There’s No Short-Cut IT is possible to teach someone just about everything he might have need of practically in order to defend himself within 30 to 40 or so hours. However, that certainly is nowhere near enough time to acquire proficiency in that which has been taught. That takes a lot longer As far as quantity of techniques is concerned, the combat/defense oriented student needs a great deal more than any competitor, simply because he must prepare to deal with whatever any assailant or assailants could come at him with. There are no “banned techniques” in close combat. In boxing or wrestling or judo, etc. enough techniques (theoretically) to win any contest may be taught within fewer than a dozen hours. But no one in the world can go from having zero competition skills to possessing a sufficient level of skill to beat all comers in matches! Good things take time.

Sword and Pen Official Newsletter Of The International Combat Martial Arts Federation (ICMAF) www.seattlecombatives.com www.americancombato.com www.prescottcombatives.com May 2018 Edition Editorial Low Profile “Defensive” Living (Note: Visitors really appreciated our piece regarding “tradecraft” in last month’s Edition. Here we address another aspect of intelligence tradecraft ––– as it relates to personal security and defense. “GOING gray” is the way it is referred to in professional intelligence training. And despite the wonderful entertainment provided by the James Bond films. real secret agents would not be able to function for five minutes in the field if they permitted themselves the flamboyance of 007; they all must adhere to a very low-profile existence. They go gray when on assignment. It’s a pretty well-known “secret” that CIA trains members of its clandestine services division at a location near Williamsburg, Virginia known affectionately as “The Farm”. The motion picture “The Recruit” starring Al Pacino gave a somewhat dramatized picture of the course given to those operatives of CIA who will be attached to the Agency’s clandestine services. The movie’s depiction of the training given was not 100% accurate. The truth is that the major portions of training at The Farm involve surveillance, countersurveillance, interrogation (and counterinterrogation), methods of agent recruitment and management, secret methods of communication and meeting, diplomacy, and ––– very important ––– clandestinity. This last entails learning how to live, work, behave, and carry out whatever secret actions may be required without attracting attention, appearing unusual, or even being “interesting” to others.
