Why WeaselCraft?

I actually had someone write and ask what,exactly is WeaselCraft,
Why name my blog that,and what the hell is this blog about.
Other than the fact that I was shocked someone reads this,those are
fair questions.
I used to be the Moderator of the Weapons forum,on what used to be the best
internet forum for self defense.I got tagged with being a,and I quote,"street weasel
of the first order."by my Brother,Don Rearic.Which sums up my approach to street survival
very well.I believe the term was coined by Massad Ayoob,the shooting instructor,to describe
whatever you have to do to get home,as opposed to Traditional,or Eclectic Martial Arts.
I study Pencak Silat,and love it,but I have also pirated so many valuable things from so
many different arts,that it all kind of flows together into.....WeaselCraft.
Some of the influences are,all the Silat I have learned,of course,but include,Comtech and James
Keating,Datu Kelly Worden and his Natural Spirit Int'l,esp the Renegade JKD curriculum,
Marc "Animal" MacYoung,and his Applied Self Defense,Boxing,Savate(from Uncle Kevin),
sneaky shit I picked up from being a bouncer for 9 years,talks,emails,and whatnot with Don,and his website,which is linked in my link section,advice from Ken Cook,WW2 Combatives/Close Combat/whatever the cool term is today,mostly influenced by Carl Cestari,Ralph Grasso,and
Kelly McCann.
Suffice to say,it is not very traditional,and relies on being a little quicker,and meaner than the other guy,but it works.
I do put a lot of emphasis on weapons,because,face it,if someone is targetting you,they
probably have a reason for thinking they can take what you can dish.So,I believe them,and try
to even the odds in my favor.
So,I think I will try to make more posts in the future about WeaselCraft,and maybe,just maybe
some weapons work.
