Another great article.. cross over with remote viewing... Master Peter Brusso

Feb 6, Psychic Self Defense:

By Su Ericksen

Hone your survival instinct. Trust your intuition. We unconsciously observe the routine behavior of adults around us. It is only when we notice unusual that we start to pay attention.

Only in hindsight when we analyze the situation do we uncover the reasons and the potential for psychic self defense.

Feb 9, Preventing Kidnappings:

By Su Ericksen


In this CBS News story a seven year old girl puts up a fight and avoids getting kidnapped by a parolee. He denies it, but there it is on the video tape.


Excellent work by this young gal and her folks who taught her what to do to prevent kidnappings

Some think

I have been noticing that most people think that martial arts is physical. It's really mental. Our system (Anjing Banfa) has always been separated into two levels; the physical and the mental. Second level ranks were always set to be physical ranks; except white belt. Once a person reaches into the high black belt ranks, its not a matter of technique anymore; but rather the application and transformation (not Obama style). It's important to work with students to expand their thinking and not to "polish" technique. Don't get me wrong, technique is vitally important but it isn't the art. The art is in your head and your soul. It's good to remember that a fight begins and ends in your mind; as I have said for over 30 years. It was true then and its still true now.

Man disarms armored car guard, steals cash at southern Dallas Family Dollar

Anjing Banfaests... this is a classic example of not paying attention to people and your environment. Also where was the second guard? I always thought there were two, but anyway maybe this guy was successful to disarm both guards. I would think that some more training on how to cover each other might be in the companies future, what to do you think? Anyway, I would think that some more martial arts training or hand gun disarms or simple weapon disarms might have been of some value here... I presume the trade off here is personal safety but then why do we have guards if they don't put up a fight?


Man disarms armored car guard, steals cash at southern Dallas Family Dollar: "

Police are searching for a man who robbed an armored car guard at gunpoint this afternoon as she picked up a bank deposit in southern Dallas.

Officers were called to the Family Dollar store along Cedar Crest Boulevard near East Kiest Boulevard about 1:20 p.m.

Investigators believe one of two female Garda armored car guards had entered the store to pick up a deposit. A man who was already inside the store purchasing gum waited for the guard to get a money bag.

'He came up from behind her and disarmed her at gunpoint,' said spokesman Senior Cpl. Kevin Janse.

Scottevest Hidden Cargo Pants

I thought Master Lewis would like to see these cool new pants!!!




Scottevest Hidden Cargo Pants: "

I often carry far too much stuff in my pockets, and these pants allow me to do so without showing it. They’re durable, and I have not been able to find any other pants that do what these do. I wear these and Scottevest’s Ultimate cargo pants almost exclusively, because after wearing each type a few times, standard pants with standard pockets feel awkward.

The Hidden Cargo Pants are more formal than the Ultimate Cargos, or 5.11 Tactical Pants. The Hidden Cargos feel more like dress pants. The main difference between the Ultimate and Hidden is that the Ultimate have a rougher fabric, cargo pockets, and zip-off lower legs. The main pocket suspension is the same.

Access to pockets is excellent in the Hidden Cargos. The main pockets on each side of the front consist of three pockets in one. There’s a magnetic clasp to access the outer pockets, which are very large (they come down almost to the knee) and are divided into front and back sections.

As long as you’re wearing a good belt it doesn’t really get too heavy. The design of the pockets means it is far less cumbersome than standard pants, but it can, of course, get cumbersome if you really stuff them full-- which would be a feat. Without a good belt, however, the pants can get a bit heavy and slide down if they are loaded with stuff.

What do I fill my pockets with? I always carry around a large wallet, pen, comb, Chapstick, rosary, large thumb drive, Leatherman, phone, palm tungsten T5 (in large metal case) and a handkerchief. I carry it all in the front pockets, as I feel uncomfortable sitting with stuff in my back pockets. These are enough large items to produce a noticeable bulge in standard pants; in the Hidden Cargo Pants, there’s no noticeable bulge most of the time.

Making darts

As you can see.. we have had some technical difficulties in making darts for this years test. Why, you might ask? Well, each year it seems that we must redesign darts do to the differences of the materials tolerances in manufacturing. Key to dart design is that they are safe. A dart can be made to really hurt and fly out there, but make one with good flight characteristics, with range, and be safe, is another task altogether. Here is what I'm seeing:

First the foam rod that the test team got is a slight bit smaller in diameter. Given everything else with the dart design being the same, what this meant was blow by in the tube, thus the force on the dart itself, was lessened. The result is a dart that didn't go far and also had some flight issues as the weigth to lifting body ratios had changed. So, I varied, or well Matiase and I did, the aft end of the foam body to try and stop the blow by, but that lead to a more unstable dart in flight. I added some more weight to the front in hopes of allowing the dart more mass, thus more flight time... this was marginal at best but did increase the striking power, which is the wrong way. So, we finally had to compromise and go back to a dart with less range but maintained the safety value. Here is a picture of the range of my darts...

That distance is about 150 feet.. the test teams darts are around 80 feet at best. Oh well.. darn, that means you will need to use stealth, cunning, and the natural aggressive nature of an anjing banfaist to overcome my ballistic advantage. Darn, huh?...

Darts under construction...

And finally our new knife throwing target:

And my blow gun is home at last! I will have an update on the tubes we are making and painting today for the test...

April 30 Black Belt Test

Update: Well lots has happened since Dec... I moved out to my new house in the desert where I can train everyday, shoot, 4 wheel, and more. What is most important is that the house is set up for Anjing Banfa training. As such, we are going to have our black belt test this year, out here at the Salton Sea. It affords us a variety of training environments and capabilities that we have never had before; which is just great. This is our own private beach with fire pit and all.

So this year we will have one of the highest speed low drag tests of all time. We have a stellar group of visiting sensei's and masters who will be here for the 4 day test. We have activities that we, in the past, could never do so it should be another record breaking Anjing Banfa test. We have two master candidates: Grant Smillie and Larry Ahlquist, so wish them well; as they are going to need it. I will keep all posted on the test... Master Peter Brusso
