I picked this subject because I have not heard it discussed much in the survival/prepper world.  It seems to only be discussed in self defense forums, podcast and TV/Radio shows.  I happen to think it’s a very good survival skill and a form of self defense that doesn’t require to you carry a gun.  Plus, I also picked this subject to talk about the future of our survival and that’s our kids and young adults.

Highlights:

  • Martial Arts for kids, how it helps them with the survival mindset later in life
  • How to pick the type of Martial Arts and school for your kid
  • The different disciplines and what they mean
  • How to pick the right MA school
  • Myth busting:  I bust some myths about Martial Arts and why they are not “violent”
  • How it creates better self esteem than most other sports
  • Why the self defense aspect of Martial Arts is not the main reason to study them
  • Mixed Martial Arts,  MMA – my review
  • Preview of Episode 13:  Helping your kids learn basic personal responsibility/prepping mentality, money management, cooking, gardening, raising animals
  • Krav Maga
  • Video on using Krav Maga when they pull a gun on you!
