Martial Arts Tip #4: 6 types of fighting to train in are strikes, kicks, clinching, wrestling, joint twists, and less-than-lethal weaponry.

Martial Arts Tip #3: You should learn to use and carry less-than-lethal weaponry. Pocket sticks and the Griffin Grips are great because they work and are covert.

Martial Arts Tip #2: You need to learn how to use and defend against sticks and knives.

Martial Arts Tip #1: It is not which martial art you train in, but how you train. Light sparring and stress response are very necessary.

I'm ahead of schedule, my book, MARTIAL TALK WITH SENSEI BUDDHA, will be released before 6/15. It will be a digital download for $3.99.
