Recommended Listening

For a couple years now, I’ve been interested in so-called “Reality Based Self Defense”. One of the pioneers of RBSD is Jim Wagner. I’m writing this post to recommend a podcast I regularly listen to by one of Mr. Wagner’s certified instructors, Alex Haddox. While the show is not geared toward martial artists specifically, Mr. Haddox has fifteen-plus years of traditional martial arts training. He teaches both traditional martial arts and Jim Wagner’s Reality-Based Personal Protection System.

The Practical Defense Podcast has been both entertaining and informative. Mr. Haddox talks about everything from hotel safety, to road rage, to hurricane/earthquake preparedness, to warning signs of impending violence. I’ve particularly enjoyed his programs on handguns (as a budding gun enthusiast), the “Use of Force” ladder, and car emergency kits.

Check him out!
