Went from working with Mike Seeklander on extreme close quarters stuff for SG to working with Rob on similar material for TBD. Not huge differences, but definitely a difference in technique. I think it's good to show differences between instructors, because -- quell surprise! -- not everybody thinks the same way. I believe, as do the people I work regularly with, that there is no one "answer" to self-defense training needs (and if anyone tells you that they have such an answer, run away!).
I suppose it's like different schools or styles of martial arts...no one is necessarily better than the other. "Absorb what us useful" after all.

How about a TBD on reloading? That may be an important survival skill,,,, also discuss shelf life of primers and powder (and storage methods), casting our own bullets... That would be interesting to me...
My beef with most martial arts, or really most oriental or asian martial arts is that they rely on keeping the bad guy at a striking distance. It only takes viewing a few, maybe just 5 to 10 videos of real world street fight videos to realize that there is seldom anything fair about a street fight. Usually it is just some big bully of a guy, usually drunk, who picks on a smaller guy. After a few haymakers are thrown, the big guy tackles the smaller guy and then pins him to the ground. Once pinned to the ground, the little guy gets his face turned into hamburger.
How do you defend against that?
