Last week was spent at the Gracie Academy in Torrance getting certified as a LEO grappling instructor. It was good training. Like all training run by civilians there was good and bad. There were disconnects- many times where their experience fighting the best martial athletes in the world didn't match my experience fighting PCP freaks in slippery cells.
At one point, Rener was demonstrating a technique and one of the students asked about controlling the opponent's free arm. Rener said, "That's irrelevant! It's a detail. He can't do anything with that arm but you can exhaust yourself chasing after irrelevant details. Ignore it."
That's some solid advice- for fighting, for martial arts and for life.
Three-Eighty or Thiry-Eight?

L., S&W Model 60 Chief; R., SIG P238
.38 Special versus .380 ACP.
Out of a full-sized sidearm, the .38 Special is the more effective round.
The bullet...

Good advice. But to me the trick is knowing which details are irrelevant and those that aren't.
