Goals, Traning & Literature, and the Blank Page Problem

On any given topic it is challenging to start from a position of zero understanding while trying to reach a functional level. Covers of books. Ranger han...
This is also known as the Blank Page Problem: lacking a frame of reference can seriously slow down our learning traction.

Formal Training and Educational Media can help address this Blank Page Problem for us.
It is unlikely that any particular training or media will be tailored to your *specific* use case, but a quality class/book/video, paired with diligent follow-up practice can help you better understand how the subject matter applies to you.
Ultimately our aim in any pursuit should include developing and refining well-defined goals, with actionable steps to reach them. Even if a piece of media/training is not 100.00% related to our personal use case, it can still help us get there.
Books only work if you read them, classes only work if you pay attention and apply relevant follow-up practice.

Review the content with your homies and evaluate and refine how you apply it to the efforts you are involved in.

Footwork and stance. How important is it that you do it a “certain way”?

Not as important as you might think. While it’s definitely helpful to find an efficient way to stabilize yourself in the middle of shooting as well as quickly closing the distance between two points…
there is no definitive manner in doing so.

You’ll most likely notice that the best shooters in the world do not all follow one “standard” for posture or stance.
Some prefer fairly low in their stance, almost in a modified squat as they feel their entire body is easier to absorb recoil and make explosive movements from. Others prefer a more much more relaxed, upright posture with a much greater emphasis on grip for stability.

Apologies for the hiatus! On this week’s episode of the Tiger Bloc Podcast, we feature a good friend and one of the best medical trainers in the business, Dan Bernal of Grizzly Medical @ Grizzlymedical on IG

“I got 2 phones, one for the plug and one for the load.” - Kevin Gates on burner phones.

Using a burner has become less popular as apps like Signal have increased in adoption, but it’s worth taking a look at their relevancy and how to set one up. Shot from “2 phones” by Kev...
If you haven’t read our post on cell surveillance techniques, check that out, because those limitations also apply.
We’re a long way from The Wire Season 3 where Bernard was just paying cash for flip dumbphones at gas stations. Check out Tracfone’s lineup. Even their $5 flip phone has GPS and internet. Much of cell phone surveillance hinges on phone connectivity to the internet and GPS. Bernard from the wire

There's an undeniable tendency in the gun community to venerate the idea of the female fighter. Women training with rifles
She appears everywhere, from grainy B&W photographs of IRA women to professional shots of the YPJ. Since the start of the war in Ukraine, there have been countless images of women on the frontlines—with full gear, guns, and grit.
It's worthwhile to give earnest recognition to those who display strength and courage in a way that deviates from traditional gender norms. But there's a big difference between sincere appreciation and backhanded indulgence in the archetype of the Token Female Fighter.

Infamous Asian: Gwen Stefani

Having recently informed the world that she identifies as Japanese, it’s about time we shine a spotlight on Gwen Stefani. Gwen Stefani with 4 fashionable Japanese people. Text is Inf
Some of our older followers may remember her as the lead singer of No Doubt, which gave us some sweet junior prom jams like Spiderwebs and Don’t Speak.
Our youngest followers will probably recognize her as one of the middle judges on NBC’s The Voice. Those stuck in between probably hate her for that B-A-N-A…bullshit or for fashion line called Harajuku something or other.

Building resilient communities

It’s pretty common to hear people on the left talking about building community this, resilient community that, but what does that really mean? Many people have asked us how to actually build resilient communities. A person in tactical gear giving aid to a simulated downed c
First of all don’t overthink it. The first step to building a resilient community is having a community in the first place. Community can be found anywhere, not just in overtly political groups.
It can literally be people in your physical community, like people from your block or in your neighborhood. But it’s not limited to that. It can be your affinity group, Dungeons and Dragons group, knitting circle, kickball team, whatever. Think broadly.
