Violence is an integral part of life but for the average civilian, it shouldn't be the most important part. If it is, you'll come to the edge of that abyss pretty fast indeed. And nothing good ever comes out of it. Thanks for stopping by and commenting Neal. I totally agree.

I have read his book and he knows his stuff, no doubt about it. He lives and breathes what he does and more importantly, he has put a lot of thought into what he teaches. The only thing I will say is that you have to be careful not to get too obsessed with the whole idea of violence. I think if you dwell too much on violence, especially the idea of it happening to you, then you end up attracting it into your life whether you want to or not and that's not always a good thing. It's up to the individual I suppose. Sometimes the only way to test yourself and your techniques is to seek out confrontation in some way, like through bouncing or something. You go down that road however and you find yourself staring into the abyss. You just have to be careful you don't fall in. Anyway, good site and good articles.
