Learning, shouldn't be in the moment!

Waiting untill you need to do something is not the time to learn how to do it! Ever heard someone say "I will do it when I have too?" Well, as some people find out in life the hard (bad) way, when you need something you don't have time for trial and error. A good example is all the reality survival show's on TV. These people come to the show and do not know how to make FIRE! Now if you had an idea that you was going to be in a situation where you would have to make fire out of nothing, would you not take the time and learn how to do it NOW? I mean we are not talking about just for comfort, but for actually living! As I have said many times, we live in a great country, where we have so much that we don't have to worry about, but many take too much for granted. We live in a society now where people want things now. Without any thought of what it takes and or took to create and make it happen. Personal Protection is not a game of chance, it is a reality of life and death. We need to learn how to survive if and/or when the situation takes place. Taking the time to not only be responsible and take training and initiative to train continually is a great start. But, there is more to it, the biggest aspect to me is the thought process that should go into tactics and training. Taking the time to train and take realistic training to put you within a controled environment so you can experiance the dynamics of what is going to happen, will go a long way. In the next few blog's I am going to break things down that should help shed some light on things to ponder or implement. I am not going to make you an expert, that only comes with proper training and practice. Just as learning to read as a child, you didn't do it once, but over multitude of repetition's. Through perfect practice. I will post on this blog things that in my opinion have made it better for me and my students. Things like: ACT mindset Perfect Practice In the Study Me Log Are just a few I will share with you, to hopefully give you some knowledge. I want everyone to be prepared, in the event something was to happen. Remember it can happen to anyone, if you accept that and plan accordingly then when it does, you will be prepared. You don't want to be in a situation where you or your family life is on the line and you are "now I have to do this to do.." RRRRRRRR, too late. I want to share a example that has been with me since I read about it in Mr. Heston's Biography. It was during the Rodney King Riots in L.A., I don't have to remind you that this is a very anti-gun state. It was during this time, that many people was scared. Several wealthy people called Mr. Heston and asked "Hey Chuck it is getting crazy out there you have any extra guns we can borrow?" Mr. Heston then said, "Yes it is crazy out there, didn't you vote to keep the guns from peoples hands".
