Have you ever asked yourself the hard question: will I be prepared to defend myself in the event I am ever physically attacked? It’s a situation that no one likes to think about, but should not be a situation that is ignored in preparing for. You can take basic steps to prevent and/or deter a physical attack: walking in well-lit areas at night, not walking alone, utilizing UTSAPD’s Safety Escort program, or even downloading a safety app on your smartphone. Even if you try to do everything to remove the opportunity for a physical attack, it can still occur and that’s where self-defense training comes into play. Any self-defense class worth its weight will undoubtedly teach defense basics and principles that are simple enough to remember and practice easily, while still being effective if ever needed. Anyone who has trained in any kind of physical defensive tactics/maneuvers (whether self-defense, martial arts, or hand-to-hand combat) will tell you that you must train regularly if you expect your training to be fully effective. UTSA students have had many options available to them for self-defense over the years, including a class put on by the police department. We are happy to announce that the police department has partnered with the UTSA Club Jiu- Jitsu to offer a new Self-Defense Seminar. This training seminar will teach the participants basic self- defense skills needed to help survive and get out of a physical attack. The training is open to all students, faculty, and staff (essentially anyone affiliated with UTSA) and will be held at the UTSA Recreation Center – Mac Gym on November 9 from 6-8PM. The class will be taught by the Jiu-Jitsu instructors and the PD will be there to give safety tips and answer any questions. The great thing about this partnership is that it offers the ability to continue the training. In our previous self-defense class, we were not able to offer any further training to reinforce the basics and expand on the moves. By partnering with Club Jiu-Jitsu, we now have given the community a resource to join if they enjoy the training and want to practice it, learn more moves, and get better at this craft. It gives the community an opportunity to connect with others as well and learn more about Jiu-Jitsu. Be sure to come by the Rec Center for the training. The training will work for everyone! If you have any questions, you can contact the UTSA Police Department’s Community Affairs Section at [email protected]. Sergeant Shawn Smith #640 UTSA Police Department Community Affairs Section .

PETERMAN-10 (DO NOT DELETE) 7/2/2014 5:25 PM SECOND AMENDMENT DECISION RULES, NON-LETHAL WEAPONS, AND SELF- DEFENSE General public debate about the Second Amendment has focused almost exclusively on the regulation of firearms. After Heller and McDonald, the scope of the Second Amendment’s protection has been hotly contested. One area of the Second Amendment that has been less discussed is the decisional rules that would govern non-firearms and levels of protection based on location. This Comment proposes two Second Amendment Constitutional decisional rules. Broadly, this Comment suggests that the “common use” test for “arms” should be modified for the development of new arms, such as non-lethal weapons, that are subject to the Second Amendment. The proposed “common use for the self-defense purpose” test attempts to add more precision by tying the weapon to the individual right to self-defense.

You can check out all the things that we work on at whistlekick. Many of those things, I am personally involved in over at whistlekick.com. Don't forget. If you buy something, use the code PODCAST15. Save this 15%. It's a thank you from us to you and honestly, lets us know that this podcast is worth doing. Because let's face it. This is a business and we've got to make some money somewhere because I need to it. Not a lot but I do need to eat something. Here we are, 360 episodes in and we're still finding new martial arts to talk about. Did you know that there were Irish martial arts traditions? Well, today's guest not only has family lineage through Irish martial arts but also something that most of us would consider more contemporary, more conventional in that Kung Fu. So, we not only get to talk about each of those arts but the contrasts, the similarities between the two, and the wonderful story that unfolds as Sifu Doyle talks about his life and his navigation through both of those arts and what it meant to him and his family.

It calls for an exploration of the way in which these have often been uncritically accepted solely on the basis of notes and comments made by the original collectors. The difficulty is that the authority with which collectors were able to speak varied enormously, and even when the collectors obtained objects personally from the original owners, it cannot be assumed that they understood clearly the names, purposes or provenance of the objects they obtained.

In the pages of this Manual an attempt is made to give full and practical instruction in Sabre and Singlestick Play, and in the use of Sabre against Bayonet, and also to explain the course of practice that is necessary for those who wish to perform the difficult sword feats wrhich require at once strength and lightness of hand. How far I have succeeded in what I have sought to do it will be for the readers of these pages to jndge; but I may perhaps be permitted to say that the book which I now venture to offer to the public is the result of experience in the use of arms extending over an unusually long period, and that before I began to teach, some twenty years ago, I was so fortunate as to be trained by teachers of the highest skill.
