Hello All,
Thank you for allowing me to join this most exceptional forum.
Please allow me to introduce myself; I am Ken a.k.a. kilogulf59 and I am here to learn and exchange thoughts, techniques, and methodologies, though I am sure, I will glean more from you than the inverse.
For an insight into my mindset and therefore my thought process, I tell you that I am significantly influenced by the teachings of some of the true innovators in the Combatives field; Lt. Col. Fairbairn, Maj. Sykes, Col. Applegate, Col. Askins, Col. Jordan, S.A. Brice, Maj. Grant-Taylor, et al. “Shooting To Live” is my old testament and “Kill Or Get Killed” my new testament, so to speak.
As far as my personal background is concerned, I was born and raised in Chicago so, by default, I unfortunately learned a little “confrontational management” the hard way; on the streets, mainly in what not to do like bleed. Now I am just an average middle-aged Wisconsinite who is interested in H2H and firearms, both historically and practically. My background includes training in Modern Arnis, Miyama Ryu Jujutsu, and FSA style H2H. Formal handgun training is limited to several classes taught by a retired Chicago Police Dept. Chief Instructor and the FSA skills that I have learned on my own.
That is about all for now as I have bored you all enough.
