Erik, This is exceptionally WELL stated! Over the years, I have declined taking courses or accepting too deeply the writings of martial arts and weapons "experts" who were/are obese or who smoked cigarettes. While I appreciated the service and teaching of the late Lt. Colonel Jeff Cooper, he lost much of his credibility with me both by refusing to accept that a double stack 9mm is more effective for most shooters than a 1911 or the need to address his weight and fitness as he aged. Keep up your outstanding work!
I’m glad it was good for you. This particular series was interesting to me precisely because too many people think only about the gun. But if you are in a dangerous situation, mental resilience is critical. If you are crapping out physically, I can guarantee that your mental resilience is shot, too.

Sorry! It's ERIC!
no worries, I get every possible spelling and don’t worry about it too much :-)
