Let Me Tell you a little about myself
I have prior training in Tae Kwon Do in My native birthplace of New Orleans, La. I
have been a student of D.G.C.F.S. since the school began and I am eager to
achieve Full Instructor or Master Combat Instructor. I am Certified Personal Trainer
of NASM-CPT, a national accredited organization. I am also receiving certifications
in CES (Corrective Exercise Specialist) and PES (Performance Enhancement
Specialist) in the near future. I currently have plans to offer Fitness and Nutrition
Services to current and future D.G.C.F.S. students. Finally, my vision is to open a
D.G.C.F.S. here in Houston or Possibly in New Orleans,La. I have recently been
certified as an assistant instructor in the S.A.B.E.R. Method for Tactical Edged
Weapons.
In the next coming issues I will be discussing Nutrition and physical fitness. How
important diet is, NOT a diet but a Life changing attitude. Diet or rather a Life style
change. You can lose weight just by change your life style and what you eat.
Physical fitness is a plus, it helps tone muscle, cardio vascular system ect…
I will touch on theses and may other topics.
Till Then eat right, think right, exercise right.

                 Hunter or the Hunted 
One of the biggest parts of teaching self-defense is empowering people not to
become victims of criminal activity. For most people this means changing their
mentality from being the hunted to the hunter. The best way I’ve heard this
described in many different newsletters or forums is by taking us back to our
childhood and playing hide and go seek. When you are it, you have not worries;
you’re out on the prowl and looking for your prey to tag and freeze or to make
“it”. On the flip side of that you were the one running away or hiding; your
nerves are going and you don’t want to be caught. In my teens my friends and I
came up with a similar game, but a little more advanced. When we went out to
my friends’ cabin out into the wilderness, at night one of us would go into the
forest and hide, but they were the one hunting, our goal was to find him before
he found us. I remember both parts really well. When I was looking, especially
if I knew it was my friend who became quite proficient with the game, I would be
nervous and every snapping branch and rustle of the leaves caused me to jump
or turn swiftly. My nerves were on edge and adrenaline was pumping big time
and all I wanted to do was run out of the trees and go back to the camp. Again
on the flip side of that was being the hunter. I was still full of adrenaline, but it
was much different, I wanted to chase more than just run. Stalking them and
causing fear was a great tactic, because they would get sloppy and make

you complacent and a good target for those on the prowl. Then they begin to

Combatives Division 7
Links to good places 8 and not take certain things for granted, like your head bein down and you
looking at your feet. These are indicators to those who are looking for prey,
someone weak. Just like out in the wild, predators look for the weakest one in
the group and then they isolate them or corner them where they can’t escape,
and then they pounce and destroy their prey. Some questions should arise with
that statement above. Example: How does the predator pick out the weakest?
Predators all have a way of blending with their environment. They stalk their
prey without them knowing that they are actually watching them to see the cues of weakness. There are many, so
here are a few: As you’re walking your head is down and looking at your feet, on the cell phone texting being
distracted from everything around you, shuffling of feet (a sign of depression and weakness), etc. The list can go
on and there are some really good books out there to help you see those weaknesses. Hopefully some good self-
defense instructors know these too, to help shape the way you think from prey to predator. That’s just a brief look at
how a hunter or predator would think, one of the main factors is that the predator is looking to make you prey, so
they have every intention of doing what it takes to do what they are planning to do. They wish to destroy you; this
is why you need to have their mindset. The other main reason to have this mindset is when you are attacked you
must react like a hunter, not one of the hunted, and think of only damaging or injuring you prey. This type of
mentality will give you an edge on your attacker, because you understand them, but they weren’t expecting to
attack another predator, or they wouldn’t have attacked. This is a survival or preservation type thinking pattern that
should be taught for the self-defense classes we teach, this is the first leap in the right direction when teaching,
because the mental state is more important than the physical.
