A Must Read

My friend Scott Sonnon just put up an essay on his blog that is well worth reading.

It has been a while since I wrote anything on the subject of self defense and martial arts, especially understanding the distinctions between the two (for the main article see here)

Scott's article is one of the better expositions of what is needed to create effective self defense programs, and personally I think it is a must read for anyone who is interested in having a solid yardstick for judging the value of any self defense course you might be thinking about taking (or designing for yourself).

So jump on over to Scott's blog and take a read on 20 Quick Lessons to No-BS Self-Protection!
