That is fantastic! I would love to train at least once in the Philippines. I train Kali-Silat under P. Greg Alland and Jason Heriford. I had my eyes opened (just as I did when I trained BJJ) to the fact each art has specific strengths. As far as a Sai, I had to learn to use it as well as...

Indeed it is for anyone who has studied Kali, Silat, Escrima, JKD, the slip in Boxing, and even old school Karate/TKD (although those are a hard style). We have now trained thousands in EMS/Fire and the healthcare profession in the DTP. Many with better credentials than mine. They are...

I have really started watching my sodium intake. Man it is everywhere, kinda like High Fructose Corn Syrup...... I just juice my own..... and hope to not have too many "engineered" fruits or vegetables in the mix. We use our NutriBullet six times a day between my wife and I. Thing works...

Ha! Yup, that too :) The Double Tap is a drill we teach. Here is a little article about it and the shirts :) http://dt4ems.com/?p=354

These interviews are 100% legit. As you can see they are online, and have pictures attached. Therefore there is no need for you to dig further on the validity of these interviews. Awe shucks, OK, so maybe the interview was staged... and the stars "really" didn't stop by..... Just enjoy them for...

I am still eating as well.......... just as little "processed" foods as I can. Tons of fruit, salads and a little turkey or chicken. Trying to keep meat to as close to 5% or my diet. The rest are all juice/smoothie. My energy is still the most noticeable thing....... absolutely ridiculous...

No, I didn't. That is really cool though. It's funny how his character (Miyagi) and Yoda get quoted so many times. There is actually a ton of training "wisdom" from both of them.

(Image at bottom of post) :) So I got the chance to interview a legend. Here is how the interview went: Me: Hey, Mr. Miyagi, I see you are sporting the latest fashion for EMS Scene Safety. Miyagi: Hmmm, Kip-son, Miyagi-do now teaching to Tap That Twice. Me: Really? What circumstances would...

That is fantastic! Let me know if you energy skyrockets like mine did. I am still not 100% juicing/smoothie drinking.... I have a cheat day where I eat what I want plus I still eat regular meals during the day. Let me know how you feel after several days.

Again, you make my point. If an officer is taking legal "custody" of a person...... he can "order" the person to drop a beer, cigarette or anything else he/she may be holding. A police officer stirctly operates under the 4th Amendment. Any stop (seizure) of a private citizen is scrutinized...

Here is an example: But I am sure they thought they were in control........... CHICAGO (CN) - Paramedics may be liable for forcibly hospitalizing a man who refused medical attention. http://www.courthousenews.com/2011/11/21/41620.htm

The reason for the big, biker comment...... people act differently when they feel they will be injured by someone. However, even the officer must have "legal" authority to modify a person's behavior. Then you mention the cop dumps out the beer.......... yes......... they are the cops...

I grabbed a Nutribullet from Wal-Mart online. It's 100 bucks. I am now down 11bs and feel amazing.

In part of our presentation where we cover the Six Dangerous D's, we suggest asking for LEO response to those scenes. Very few agencies that I personally know of have LEO all or even "most" of the time. Many get LEO regularly in the nicer suburbs. But many rural and urban agencies don't have...

Attitude of EMS is exactly the point "I" was making. On the scene safety issue, all you have to do is read one of my published articles, watch any of my videos, take the NAEMT Safety Course ( I was an SME on),read hundreds and hundreds of course evals to know my take on scene safety. I...

A lot of people mention the O2 Bottle to the head as a self-defense tool for EMS. It is possible this could be "reasonable" if justified. This image should help with "reasonable". Just because you win in a fight (which EMS should never engage in a fight on the job, instead defend/escape)...

Absolutely a FANTASTIC topic! Here is a couple of points I usually try to make with this very subject. Although I word it different, the meaning is the same as what you are getting at: 1) Machismo- The tough-guy approach. This is a problem with many in EMS. The reason... they are taught in...

Gotcha. Well...... in dealing with the folks around the country the way I do, I have never heard of an SOP in existence like that. Not to say their isn't one.........but that is not something an agency would brag about having. Now, if in the scenario as given....... if you witnessed a crime...

You and I agree 100%. Once in cuffs...... there would be a very minute fraction of events that could constitute the use of lethal force. And YES..... there are times lethal force can be used against unarmed people. Size, Sex, Age, Skill level, Fatigue can have an officer up the level of...

Which is why I am so passionate about scene safety my friend. I would love to know more of the context. I would gladly openly discuss this with his instructor. The reason I consider this interesting........ People remember based upon emotion. This student felt it enough to bring it to an...
