...already told you I'm a member. (We may be the only ones here.)
Like you, the OBS sets forth the principles I aspire to live my life by.
They are the traditional, Western Man Judeo-Christian ideals.
And, I don't view them as meek, turn the other cheek, type of ideals.
I consider them the fundamental tenets of honor and manhood.
The study & practice of combative arts is a critical, vital aspect of being a gentleman/warrior.
I train in 4 gates of entry to my own system.
Unarmed hand to hand. The Stick. The Blade. The Handgun.
The weapon in a trained hand is the difference!
I base my system on 3 main axioms. The 3 P's.
1. PRECLUSION -doing everything and anything to avoid violence. Exhausting every option available for avoidance.
2. PRE-EMPTION -when preclusion has failed, Initiate! Strike first.
3. PREVAIL -in a situation where violence is the only answer,...Commit to ruthless elimination of the threat.
A Song bird, often mistaken for a Bird of Prey!
