First are the sheep who live in ignorance and only want to enjoy life's pleasures.



Then there are the wolves; those who prey on the sheep (criminals, terrorists, bullies, etc.)

Finally there are the sheep dogs. That is, the people whom protects the sheep from the wolves (martial artists, police officers, soldiers, etc.).

The big problem is that the sheep generally don't much like us sheep dogs unless we are saving their lives at that very moment. Therefore many sheep in society tragically see no difference between dogs and wolves.

In order to better protect my loved ones and those whom would depend on me in a time of crisis, I do my best to keep up an active sheep dog lifestyle.

I train my mind and forge my body into a living weapon. Every day is a day to be at the gym, at the martial arts school, or on the firing range.

Needless to say the sheep around me don't understand it, and some have even called me things like "killer" and "savage." They say how they could never take the life of another human being and how it is morally wrong, even in self defense.

I just listen to their ignorant rantings and let them talk themselves into a hole.

Once they are finish telling me the latest crap about how violence only begets more violence, I remind them about how bad the wolves can really be.

And after I relate the recent tragic tale of Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian down in Tennessee, the bullshit stops and my life choice doesn't seem so wrong.

Here's what I'm talking about...

The idea of a young couple being murdered by a group of killers who seem more like monsters then men is something out of a horror movie.

On Saturday, January 6, 2007 Christopher Newsom, Jr., 23, and Channon Gail Christian, 21, were out on a date enjoying themselves. They went to eat at a local restaurant and were supposed to head to a friends house to watch movies, but they never made it.

The night from hell would begin when the young couple was carjacked, bound and blindfolded, then taken back to suspect Lemaricus Devall "Slim" Davidson's rented house.

Perhaps the young couple only thought they were being dumped someplace else and were only going to lose their SUV and a few personal items. They were dead wrong.

Once at the home the perpetrators brutally assaulted the couple before killing them and dumping the bodies is seperate locations.

Right now Eric Boyd, George Geovonni, Thomas Lemaricus, Devall Davidson, Letalvis Cobbins and Vanessa Coleman who range in age from 18 to 34 are sitting in jail in Knoxville awaiting trial...Hopefully they will receive the death penalty as no one in their right mind could possibly think that these monsters could be "rehabilitated".

These wolves need to be put down permanently.

I use this shocking story to remind others that wolves still walk among good people, and that there will always be a need for sheep dogs.

As always, the problem really lay in that us sheep dogs can't always be around when self preservation comes into play.

Sheep need to be constantly reminded NEVER to give in to criminal and terrorist demands.

NEVER believe what they say, and NEVER comply or go along with them in hopes of avoiding violence, rape, or even death.

You have to fight for your life the instant you are threatened. And ONLY proven, legitimate, and documented martial arts and self defense training will help you survive. (NOT the junk they teach down at the mini-mall, or the UFC crap you see on TV)

I can only feel sorry for Channon and Christopher, and I see what happened to them as another example of why I have to keep teaching REAL self defense...We need more sheep dogs.
