A LITTLE BIT OF LEVITY, SOCIAL INTERCOURSE, AND FUN TO START OFF THIS LINKS PAGE SECTION: First of all, I highly recommend that you visit the following really cool salsa dance websites. I love them all and visit them each day to catch some new moves, sounds, and video from the world of Mambo and Beyond:
8) http://http://dancevision.com/ *On this site you can get some of the finest latin ballroom dancing videos I've seen! ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************** MAMBO MARTIAL ARTS VIDEO RESOURCES
First on this list goes the great video and written material available from Michael Janisch at his excellent and very comprehensive http://martialbladeconcepts.com website. I highly recommend all of his instructional videos and books if you are interested in learning "Mambo Martial Moves" in a urban contemporary learning setting. He also offers great live seminars and workshops.
Next, I also strongly recommend that you visit the DOG BROTHERS website at: http://www.dogbrothers.com for a dose of "Mambo Martial Moves" reality therapy. If you are a serious martial artist (or especially if you are in the military or you are a law enforcement officer) you have to not only check out the "worth its weight in gold" information on the site, but you should also consider joining the DOG BROTHERS MARTIAL ARTS ASSOCIATION (application on site). We suggest you purchase the following DOG BROTHERS videos: *Introduction to The Interface of Gun, Blade, Empty Hand Those videos will get you started in the right direction. The Dog Brothers are, as always, on the cusp of martial reality! ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************** We also suggest you seriously consider purchasing the following audio / video learning tools that can be procured from Guro Richard Bustillo's IMB Academy in Torrance, California. Guro Bustillo was one of my most influential teachers. Learn from him! 1) IMB Academy Basic Boxing DVD 2) IMB Academy Basic Kali DVD 3) IMB Academy Basic Muay Thai DVD 4) IMB Academy Basic DVD Series - NEW FOR 2008! For detailed information on the above IMB Academy video DVD's, visit: http://www.imbvideo.com/Home_Page.php ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Two more "MAMBO ARTS TODAY" recommended websites are: and James A. Keating is a modern master of edged weapon and empty hands combative systems, as well as a very unique martial arts "thinking man" of the highest order. He has studied extensively with some of the best sensei, sifus, and guros of the world. His COMTECH video series are must haves for your martial arts video collection. Check out his website and you won't be disappointed. MODERN KNIVES is Pete Kautz's website where you can find material he has produced in conjunction with James A. Keating. This is a valuable website to visit and learn from. I recommend it highly. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************** CONCEALED & OPEN WEAPONS CARRY INFORMATIONAL WEBSITES *In regards to handguns and concealed or open carry info, I have found some really fascinating discussions on the subject on the following site: **Even more fascinating discussions on "carry" handguns and their owners can be found at: ***And I just received info on the following website created by a fellow named Luke McCoy that focuses on information regarding Concealed Carry Permit reciprocity and other resources associated with the concealed carry of ******************************************************************************* HANDGUNS OF INTEREST My current favorite self-defense pistol is the FN Five-seveN. It is designed specifically to "to defeat the enemy in all close combat situations in urban areas, jungle conditions, night missions and any self defense action." And it does that magnificently and astonishingly effectively in my humble opinion. Click on the link below for more info on this dynamic and effective modern firearm: www.fnherstal.com/html/Index.htm
I have had a "love affair" with the old-school "1911 .45 ACP" since the early fifties. It is tried and true. My current favorite "1911" is the KIMBER Ultra CDP II .45 ACP. The manufacturer, KIMBER, has a great website at:
http://www.kimberamerica.com/pistols/ I also like the "1911's" made by PARA ORDINANCE. Check out their great weapons at their website link below: http://www.paraord.com/product/category.html?cat=20 ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************** EDGED WEAPONS WE RECOMMEND There are a lot of fine "edged weapons" on the market today. In fact, there is probably a wonderfully functional and user-friendly knife that will make anyone happy out there somewhere. Having said that, I have found that the knives designed by Hawaiian Chad Los Banos are the finest "non-custom" edged weapons that I have ever come across. Visit his site at the URL below and I guarantee that you will be awestruck at the beauty of the knives that he has designed. If you order any of them you will find that their functional makeup and "real world" self-defense usage practicality stacks up against any edged weapon anywhere on the market. Chad's designs, all of them, have my highest recommendation. I am especially enamoured with the LAVA, the TRANCE, the HYPER, and the SUB-COM. Check out his site and prepare to be amazed. As mentioned elsewhere on this website, the Ray Roger's RAYZOR custom made straight razors are my choice for striking fear in the hearts of would be muggers and street thugs. Check out his website and you will understand why I love his RAYZORS so much. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************** FIREARMS TRAINING CENTERS WE RECOMMEND
Front Sight Firearms Training Institute is located near Las Vegas, Nevada. It is one of the finest firearm training facilities in the world. If you want to learn all levels of firearms skill with a wide variety of weapons at a place that prides itself upon offering not only the highest levels of instruction, but also world class training for your teen children and your wife or girlfriend in a "family" atmosphere, check out the great courses and other offerings from Dr. Ignatius Piazza's FRONT SITE FIREARMS TRAINING RESORT. Don't waste your money going to Disneyland on your next vacation, instead become a lifetime member at FRONT SITE. It will be the best money you will ever spend on a family vacation. FRONT SITE is a place you and your loved ones will look forward to "vacationing" at for years to come. The skills and knowledge you will gain will set you and your family apart from most of the rest of those in our contemporary society who either don't realize that we are living in deeply troubling times, or who choose to ignore the disturbing realities that threaten peaceful, law abiding, and God fearing Americans 24/7.

Very highly recommended!Please visit their website and you will understand why I feel so enthusiastic about Front Sights services. Their link URL:
If you live in Illinois you should seriously consider training at "The Site - Firearms Training Center" in Bourbannais, Illinois. I have heard nothing but good things about this facility and the training staff. You can access their website at the following link below: http://www.shoot-at-the-site.com/default.html If you are looking for the best in "old school, yet throughly modern" firearms training that has stood the test of time, you can't go wrong with the training offered at GUNSITE firearms training center which was founded by the (late) world renowned weapons master and author, Lt. Col. Jeff Cooper, in 1976 in an area just west of Paulden, Arizona. The GUNSITE website says it all in a straightforward, uncomplicated, and almost zenlike manner. Worth every penny for all of their courses. Their URL is: If you are a LEO, former military, current security ops worker, or an interested civilian, BLACKWATER USA offers world class firearms training at their North Carolina facilities. BLACKWATER USA is first class in every respect. Highly recommended: http://www.blackwaterusa.com/courses/AT_NC_courses.html There is one very special place that I always wanted to spend some time training at. It is known as the VALHALLA SHOOTING CLUB. Unfortunately, the club has gone completely private, and no longer offers training to non-members. Check out the video link below and I think you will understand why I hold such high regard for the Valhalla Shooting Experience:
