<div>I've been seeing an increasing number of people who are claiming to teach styles like Tai Chi for self defense. From what I've seen, the internal styles DO have a "functional" side to them...If you're willing to put in the time and effort into learning them. <br/> <br/>Was wondering which you preferred? The HARD, External styles (Karate, various forms of Kung Fu, etc...) or the SOFT, Internal styles (Tai Chi, Ba Gua, Aikido, etc.)? <br/> <br/>Arnold</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://selfdefense.tribe.net">Eclectic Self Defense</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>Team Artemis NYC would like to invite the members of this group to check out our new Women’s Wrestling Club Tribe. <br/> <br/>We run a female-managed training meet that is open to all women interested in learning about safe wrestling and grappling. The grappling work starts from a base of Brazilian jiujutsu. We also welcome practitioners other grappling styles, such as judo and Korean wrestling, as well as Western freestyle wrestling. On special occasions, we are visited by high-level guest instructors who give a specific lesson in bjj or other groundfighting arts. <br/> <br/>Folks with prior wrestling &amp; grappling experience are encouraged to share their knowledge in a "physical round table" style. <br/> <br/>The group will announce our training sessions, competitive meets, promotional activities, and encourage discussion of the grappling arts for competition, fitness, self-defence, and empowerment. <br/> <br/>The URL for our tribe is http://tribes.tribe.net/teamartemis <br/> <br/>You can also visit our website at http://www.artemisnyc.com/</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://selfdefense.tribe.net">Eclectic Self Defense</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>For those who want to be able to defend themselves in a NON-LETHAL format, you'll be happy to hear that Taser International now offers a "personal" Taser device for people who are "non-police". To learn more about it and order one (in one of four fun colors), go to http://www.taser.com/ctwo/index.htm and check it out. <br/> <br/>Arnold</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://selfdefense.tribe.net">Eclectic Self Defense</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Here's a video that gives an overview of new video coming out called "SAS Fight Secrets". It's taught by Bob Spours, former member of the SAS (the British version of the Special Forces). The video looks very good and cut through the crap to give you just a handful of techniques to get the job done. The only leg techniques that it appears he teaches is knee techniques, which I guess is because your body isn't as "off balance" when throwing a knee (you are usually hanging onto your attacker) as opposed to a kick. Anyway, here's the link: <br/> <br/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOTwg_YXYy0 <br/> <br/>Enjoy! :) <br/> <br/>Arnold</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://selfdefense.tribe.net">Eclectic Self Defense</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>I posted a new design that I'm thinking about using. I'm thinking about using it for both my personal self-defense program and for when I graduate from Massage Therapy school as my business logo. Was wondering what others thought about it. Look at the main photo on the left of the front page to see it. <br/> <br/>;) <br/> <br/>Arnold</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://selfdefense.tribe.net">Eclectic Self Defense</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>Looking for people in the Birmingham, Alabama area who are interested in forming a self defense group for training. No previous experience necessary. I'm looking to teach what I know and to learn from others. If we can find a place to practice for FREE, then I feel the classes should be FREE. ;) <br/> <br/>Give me a holler if you're interested. <br/> <br/>Arnold</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://selfdefense.tribe.net">Eclectic Self Defense</a> - 3 replies </div>
