![]() So, where does that leave us? As with most issues of this nature, the answer is most likely to be found somewhere in between. But I’m sure everyone reading this can easily Google that information. However on the other side of the coin I could also just put up the list of techniques that are banned by the UFC, Bellator Fighting, and a host of other professional MMA Combat Sports businesses/organizations. do nothing but make themselve look stupid and Combatives in general look bad. A lot of guys making these claims and putting up bad videos on Youtube, Vimeo, Liveleak, etc. There are far too many yahoos running around the internet with claims of “I’ll just bite the guy to get him off me” or “I’ll fish-hook him to control him”, and the old “I’ll just poke him in the eye”. Now to a degree, their claims are legitimate. Over the next couple of weeks I will try to address these issues in a rational manner. It is simply my way of saying that you should not just discard something, whether it a handsaw for a sawz-all, a paint brush for a paint-sprayer, or a revolver for a semi-auto just because it appears to be the 'next big thing' being hyped in the current advertising cycle.Ī lot of self defense programs, especially the MMA based ones, have an ongoing complaint about the use of ‘Foul Tactics’ and how the Combatives based programs talk about those tactics like a magic wand. To be clear, I am not making this comparison to slam Geoff Thompson in any way. It's called 'The Fence' and it was brought out by Geoff Thompson in I believe the late 1980's.Īnd here we Jean-Joseph Renaud's om 1912, 70 years earlier. You should recognize the tactic immediately. Sooner or later, everything old is new again.Īs an example I'm putting up two images. The fact remains that no matter what anybody thinks, the old saying holds true. Whether someone came across it and decided to try it out to see if it had merit, or it just came out one day in a training session and it worked and they thought they had come up with something original is immaterial. Despite many peoples claiming to have come up with a new 'technique' or 'tactic', the truth is there is very little new under the sun.Įspecially when it comes to unarmed fighting. Over the course of many years worth of looking at manuals on Self Defense, Sport Martial Arts, Combatives, etc., I have noticed a trend that is undeniable. I recently reviewed the English translation of Jean-Joseph Renaud's Manual 'Defense In The Street'. Counter (slightly more complex to the others): set up multiple drones to take off and fly a pattern on their own either via remote Internet activation or via timed release. Helicopters with infrared and vehicle homing in on the signal. A set pattern, either via GPS or time/distance calculations. Most recreational drone pilots use a control system to 'fly' the drone. They are inexpensive and easy to replace. If the drone is shot down, the easy counter is to send a second drone (and a third, etc.). One counter to this: vary the location of the overflight in order make it harder to preposition. ![]() ![]() Here's some thinking on the countermeasures being deployed the authorities and how they can be overcome. No rapid return to business as usual possible. Infrequent but constant overflights showed the threat was still present. Initial flurry of overflights demonstrated it was a serious threat. Method of attack: simple runway/terminal overflights. Some additional thinking:Ĭost of drones: ~ $100. This is a good example of what is possible with low cost and low risk systems disruption. The police are now deploying snipers, jamming equipment, and a laser sniper system (2 mi range) to destroy the drone if it appears again. Regular overflights at 7, 9, noon, and 3PM has kept it closed all day, causing the cancellation 760 flights and stranding 110,000 travellers. Six additional overflights between 9:15 PM and midnight kept it closed.Ī planned 4:30 AM opening was cancelled by another overflight at 3:45. Yesterday, on the 19th of December at 9 PM GMT, a drone overflight shut down Gatwick airport, the UK's second busiest airport, stranding tens of thousands of holiday travellers. (Retired) is just another example of how some cheap, easy to obtain technology can cause millions of dollars in disrpution without even killing anyone or damaging any property. It's been awhile since I did a Blog Post on Drones.
