Martial Arts, Law Enforcement and Military – what is the difference? – By Jeff

Andrea Simpson — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 02:43:43 +0000

I was recently able to accompany Master Waysun “Johnny” Tsai (Founder of the Combined Universal Martial Application “CUMA” System), and Snake Blocker (Deadliest Warrior) to the SHOT Show (the world’s largest shooting, hunting, and outdoor show) in Las Vegas Nevada.
As I visited some of the many vendors, and I watched some of the demonstrations, I realized something. I realized that whether it is a martial arts, law enforcement, or military demonstration, there was a familiarity with all that was shown. It’s seems that the line between all these disciplines is blurred if it even exists at all.
As a martial artist teacher, and a police Survival Tactics Instructor, I am finding that the “real World” attitude that I have when I teach police spills over to my martial arts students. While teaching my students I learn patience that will help me with the officers. When I teach corporate or community self defense classes I find that I am teaching an integrated program. I combine martial art, law enforcement, and military tactics successfully into one program that is easy to learn and simple to apply.
The “Martial” world is realizing that there is now no real difference between the roots of what is being taught and probably never was.

Personal Information on the Internet by Jeff

Andrea Simpson — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 02:53:05 +0000

For many of us anonymity is the key to life. We get too secure in the thought that nobody can find us so we think we are safe from the world. Well, at the risk of bursting your bubbles, I want to shed some light on this myth. Any personal information provided to subscriber sites are subject to being in public search web sites. Anyone entering your name can find address, phone number and other personal information about you and your family.

There are many websites you can visit to get personal information. I tried it and with only a first and last name I was able to obtain the following information:

Address

Phone number

Areal view of the house

In many cases I was able to find out how people lived in the house, their names, and approximate ages. All this information was free but for just a few dollars you can get more detailed information.

With just a phone number I was able to obtain the following information:

First letter of the First Name

First letter of the Last Name

Age

Gender

Ethnicity

Relationship

Phone Type

Phone Carrier

Location

Median Income

Median Home Value

Remember the more technology you use the more your information is out there. There are many ways for your information to get into the wrong hands and once it’s out there you can’t get it back.

I have listed a few websites for you. I urge you to visit these sites just to see how easy it is for YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION to fall into the wrong hands.
