A few weeks ago, I was trying to remember that play where the guy goes and tries to fuck his buddy's niece or something by lying about who he was and there was some wacky zany thing that happened and the name of the play was a double entendre about the point of the play and the character's name. Understandably, I was confused about what the hell the name of the play was. Later I remembered because I was wanting to use it as a name of this article I wanted to write.

I started reading Atlas Shrugged, because I hear from a lot of people that it's, "a pretty good book," which I took at face value until they tried to reassure me with, "like I'm totally serious, it's SUCH a good book. It's something that you would like." And like a grand wizard gone awry with a spell, a blizzard of bullshit came up crashing into the room ruining all the feng shui and the valencia orange I was enjoying.

First off, I want to...

How’s it going everyone,

Just wanted to share my experience with a particular mat company that I use. I’m not sure if you’ve heard of the Swain Flex-Roll mats or not. If you have I’m sure you’ve heard many positive reviews and if you haven’t now is a chance for you to get some info about them.

I’ve had experience with all types of training surfaces from wrestling mats, tatame mats, folding mats, and flexi-roll mats. I have to say that I pick the Swain Flex-Roll mats over any other mat on any day.

I purchased Swain Flex-Roll mats almost 4 years ago and I don’t regret it for one second. Before then I had a mix of different brands of the rectangular tatame style mats at my academy.

Some things that I didn’t like about the tatame style mats was:

- If they needed to be moved for any reason it was bit of a...

Okay now onto the review.

First and foremost when shopping for a hand-gun I was looking for something to pull triple duty; predator defense while hunting, home defense, and hunting. My original intent was to go with the venerable 1911, but my research into it as a large predator defense round led me to pursue other avenues. To make a long story short I found a common opinion that the .357 with a 6” barrel loaded out with the hottest loads should, shot placement being critical, suffice for critters up to black bear. (When I head for grizzly bear county down the road I am investing the $$$ in the mighty .454 Casull.)

The Specs:

Model: R97206
Caliber: .357 Magnum
Capacity: 6 Shot
Weight: 35 oz
Barrel Length: 6”
Action: DA
Sights: Adjustable rear

THE GOOD

- Stopping power
- Cost
- Weight

No one denies the stopping power of the .357 magnum round, Period. It will more than do the job in sending the bad guys to their just rewards. The cost is right for the...

I originally signed up for this school in a joking manner after seeing a thread on Bullshido about the lead instructor. Then one day at work my email lights up with an acceptance letter. Not willing to miss the chance of a life time to train with a world renowned master, I quickly took the plunge.


My class was on Thursday evenings once a week. The school has no contracts but is very expensive for the little amount of mat time you receive. Tuition starts out at 65 a month for one class a week. You also pay a 30 fee to join their world JKD association, along with another 30 for a training shirt that you must wear. In order to progress it was another 40$ for a three ring binder manual.


The closest we came to any type of contact was some VERY compliant partner drills. It was the normal you punch, I block, I proceed to kill you in seven different ways. We did hit a mitt a couple of times, but that was it.


Equipment was pretty decent for the class size. I...

I'm on the right. I weighed in at 183, my opponent (Ryan Janes, 2-1) weighed in at 182.2. When they did the staredown pics, I stuck out my lower lip and looked up at him and he started laughing, but they chose the pic with the "toughest" looks on our faces.

I cut 17 lbs. I thought it would be a lot harder than it was.

I got my pink shorts done up, they say "Douche Bag" down one side. I got my hair dyed very pink.
