Under the Gun - Fundamentals of Handgun Disarming

The first thing I want to say about this Paladin Press produced DVD is that I really like how Paladin is using menus with their DVDs. Paladin has increased their production value as they have learned through experience and customer feedback as to what people want with educational DVDs.

The production quality is high with multiple angles, close-ups, good sound and clear instruction. The menus make it easy to find the sections you want to review and train with. So now let's get to the featured material on this DVD.

James Miller, a former police officer and SWAT operator spends 75 minutes teaching basic handgun disarming techniques. They are simple and effective. I must point out though, that no matter how good you are at gun disarms, you should only resort to them if all other options of avoidance, de-escalation, or escape are futile. Empty hand techniques against weapons are clearly last ditch options.

Miller starts the program with basic safety protocols. He also shows the training equipment used in the program. I like that Miller included this, because the mark of all good instructors is training hard, but training safe. This is especially important with any weapon training. I suggest everyone watching this video listen and adhere to Miller's safety protocols and suggestions.

The next section of the DVD focuses on Principles and Concepts. Here, Miller discusses range and distance, response time, joint-lock directions, and his disarm formula that consists of clear, control, disarm, and disable. Miller demonstrates these four essential elements to each disarm. The principles and concepts included in this section are important and Miller taught them clearly and succinctly. I also really like that Miller goes over what to do with the handgun once you have disarmed your attacker. Many programs forget this important part. What do you do with the gun afterward? Miller tells you.

Miller then gets to the section on empty-hand responses. The techniques he covers include disarms for these attacks: One-hand hold to the body; one-hand hold to the head, including a horizontal hold; two-hand hold; rear attacks to the body; and rear attacks to the head.

Miller only teaches a few techniques for these attacks. That's good. Under stress, knowing a few techniques well is better than knowing too many not very well. He also addresses the controversy with clearing to the inside or outside. Miller's discussion on this makes a lot of sense. The direction you clear will be determined by the situation you find yourself in, so know techniques for both directions. The techniques were the same or similar to some of the techniques in many Hapkido curriculums, and therefore were very easy for me to follow. I think anyone with a solid foundation in the workings of joints and how joint locks work will have an advantage with this program. If you don't have experience with joint locks, these techniques may not be as easy to learn. However, if you follow along with Miller with your training partner, you should be able to get proficient. The key is to train realistically and safely with your partner.

In the next section of the program, Miller goes into armed responses. This is where Miller teaches how to disarm your opponent when you are also armed. He first covers how to disarm your attacker when you are armed with a knife. He shows these techniques with a tactical folder carried on his right hand side, tucked in the waist of his jeans and with a fixed blade carried on his strong (right) side. I personally feel these techniques would be harder to execute than the empty hand techniques because besides knowing the disarm technique, you must also be good at drawing and using your blade. These techniques will take a lot of practice to become proficient enough to pull them off in a real situation.

Next Miller teaches gun vs. gun. He clears the attacker's gun and controls it, and then rather than draw his blade, he accesses his own firearm. Like the knife vs. gun disarms, these techniques require that you have proficient training with the firearm you are carrying as well as the disarms Miller teaches. For law enforcement, where officers train and carry weapons regularly, these are most useful. For everyone else, if you are carrying a weapon, you should be training with it as well. One must always remember, sometimes you might not have the time to draw a weapon you carry, so you need to know the empty hand techniques too.

After teaching the techniques, Miller's next section covers training evolutions. He starts with using an inert trainer with slower walkthroughs , but not by the numbers. Move slow but smoothly with no gaps. He then picks up speed as he gets more comfortable. Once comfortable with the techniques, he increases the stressors to make training a bit more stressful. Next he shows how to train with different training weapons that actually have a plastic projectile to make training even more realistic, including some scenario training.

Miller concludes the program with a short discussion regarding finding another way to end the confrontation, and only using the disarms if there is no other way. Then he encourages you to train hard and train safe.

This is a very good basic program on handgun disarming. Paladin Press did a very good job of filming and editing, and Miller did a solid job with his instruction. Again, I feel a person who has a background in an art or style that includes joint locks will be able to learn the techniques in this program much easier than someone without such a background. If you want to incorporate handgun disarms into your training, get this video and start practicing what Miller teaches with your training partner. The DVD is approximately 75 minutes long and is produced by Paladin Press.

Menopause and Your Skin

You may have thought that once you managed get through your teen years skin care would be a piece of cake, however aging brings it own set of issues. Seeing the changes taking place with our skin is enough of a shock for most women and then you are hit with the frustrations that menopause brings with it. Perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms for many women includes extreme skin dryness, acne and/or Rosacea.

Acne is acne no matter what age you happen to be however as the age you have a few other skin concerns that must be recognized when choosing a skin care treatment plan. When choosing a acne treatment plan try to stay away products that contain Benzoyl Peroxide as then tend to cause irritation, dryness and may even acerbate your breakouts. This is especially true for those individuals who may be having an issue with Rosacea. You want to look for products that are gentle, soothing and effective and that will not add to the dryness that becomes more prevalent as we age.

Along with the unwanted blemishes you will start to experience many changes in the appearance of your skin, some do to the hormonal changes of menopause and some that are changes do to aging. Cell turnover begins to slow and will continue to do so and your complexion becomes dull and dry. And if that is not enough you will begin to notice that your skin is beginning to sage and loosen as it loses its elasticity. Your facial pores will remind you of craters as they become much more visible and prominent especially on your upper cheeks and nose. This is also the age at which sun damage begins to show its self in the form of age spots, wrinkles, spider veins and possibly precancerous spots.

Cleansing both morning and night with a non soap cleanser is recommended. Soap cleansers will add to the dryness so instead use a foam or gel cleansing product and make that they have with moisturizing properties. You may also want to look for a product that is a gentle exfoliant, if you have sensitive skin then only exfoliate a couple of times a week to help keep your skin looking fresh and radiant. Try to choose products that list water as one of there main ingredients, which means listed in the first couple of positions.

Menopause or no menopause, once you reach middle age moisturizing is the key and will become increasingly more important to the appearance and health of your skin. For the best results use a moisturizer that contains Vitamin C, this powerful antioxidant will do wonders for the over all appearance of your skin. The trick to moisturizing is to apply it to your damp skin, moisturizers hold the moisture in, they do not add moisture. It is also important to look for moisturizers with SPF 20 or more and make sure that it protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Lanolin, water or petroleum based products are a good choice for whole body moisturizing, and again it is best to put on when your skin is still damp.

You may also find it useful to up your consumption of water and oils, as perimenopause and menopause deplete your body of both. This does not mean that you need to start eating fried chicken for every meal, but instead try an oil supplement or adding a tablespoon of olive oil to your salad at dinner.

English Bitter - The Style

English Bitter is one of Ojkl Effects Of Acid Reflux most satisfying of styles. To 7112000 How To Stop Hands From Sweating homebrewer this can be one of the easiest styles of beer to make.

Bitter as a style has many different tastes and surprises. Most are usually bittersweet and hoppy. Pillar Procedure Snoring Bitter gets this from generous supply's of British noble hops.

The hops of which I speak are Challenger, Wye Target, Fuggles and the most prestigious of them all East Kent Golding's. There are many regional takes on this style as well.

One of the more famous was Boddingtons Bitter. This beer was once a staple of the Greater Manchester area before Inbev bought them out. Foods That Prevent Yeast Infections The Strangways Heartburn Medication And Pregnancy in Manchester has The Sims 2 Pets Ps2 Cheats been shut down.

This was a very good example of an English Bitter that was once respected by me. Another example of this style was Mansfield Bitter. Again sadly the brewery in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire has since closed.

It's no longer a staple of Mansfield where it's adored across the Midlands. Very few examples of true English Bitter are available in the states.

There however are many examples of Treating Thrush Ale across the board. English Bitter in included is in the Pale Ale family. There are actually Il Stop A Yeast Infection category's for English Bitter.

Theres Ordinary Bitter with a gravity May Puppy Training Los Angeles 1.035 - 1.040. I like my Ordinary Bitter between 1.038 and 1.040. Usually hopped with 25-35 IBU's.

Then Iss Average Indian Penis Size Special/Best Bitter with gravity's between 1.040 - 1.048. Hop IBU's around 25-40.

Also there is Extra Special Bitter or ESB for short. Gravity's usually between 1.048 - 1.060. This usually gets generous IBU's around 30-50+.

Respectively there almost always malty and bittersweet. Usually the flavours don't change much between the three examples. The higher gravity Volume Acid Reflux Recipes Dysfunction Cock to accentuate the flavorful British malt.

Grain wise you want to seek Sweaty Palms Cure a very good floor malted British two-row barley. My favorite malts in this case are Thomas Main Over The Counter Treatment For Yeast Infections Marris Otter and Halcyon. This is a family owned malting company in West Yorkshire.

Examples of beers made with Thomas Fawcett malts are Theakstons Old Pecuiler, Bass Pale Ale. Just to name a few. Be sure to use good fresh British hops as well.

So try making them and make them your own. I think you will be impressed.

I have been brewing since the craze in the 90's, I stuck to it. Now I'm sharing what I know with you. So give the site Curing Hyperhidrosis a Wys Train A Labrador today.

It will be evolving and growing with many resources for the new and old brewer alike.
