Why I bought a Gun...

Yeah, yeah... I know certain people are craving my attention so much that they are making up stories about their awesomeness... I don't care, this isn't more of the BS Martial Arts Online Drama that I said I would walk away from. No, this is something completely different.

This is about being attacked on the Federal Courthouse Steps by a Beckley Police Informant. That fight ended quickly when I disarmed a knife wielding opponent... Actually, I am not even that awesome, he tried some Mall Ninja flippy floppy switch to a reverse grip and dropped his knife. Which I snatched up and basically fought him off to turn it over to the Marshals Service. I don't trust cops in West Virginia especially, Raleigh County Sheriffs, Beckley City and State Police.

Now that was back in October and I am about to file a motion that will get everything moving with Federal Judge Berger. Once this happens, I think things might get amped from just knives and, it wouldn't be the first time I had been shot at...

So I decided to make a very public point about ability to own and purchase firearms. Again... And I got delayed. Now this was all bait for something a bit later but, never mind. Just know ninja mind fuckery is a foot.

Now I bought the gun and made a very public show of the fact that I can both pass a background check and own a firearm. Why?

Well there are three reasons...

1. I wanted to expose the liars, I don't have to say who, we all know... Who claim I am mentally ill, a felon and so on. However, this isn't limited to those detractors in the online martial arts community, it goes back to lies spread by Kristen Keller who I have a $25 Million lawsuit against. And yeah, it gets the ninjer nutjobs going as well.

2. I wanted to clear up any misconceptions about me. And, publicly demonstrate how a BS those lies are. Not only do I have Online Martial Arts Nutters who cyber stalk me but, so do the cops.

And when they spread those lies to other rookie officers, well they get exposed as liars and made into complete fools.

3. This also goes back to certain cowardly fucktards who. Also want to hide behind those same lies in Beckley. So once the lies get exposed, it all starts to bring down these houses of cards built on lies.

I actually, found my interview with Warlock Asylum to of more importance then this blog, talking about my new gun.

The discussion with Warlock Asylum, quickly moved from martial arts to shamanism, spirituality, conspiracy theory, how media influences the mind and even our perceived definitions of race.

And it sets up for my next interview with Chris Friedman on his experiences in martial arts, living in China and more.

As for my new handgun, lets talk about my old handgun. In September of 2016 I bought a Hipoint C9. Proof is the image below from my Facebook page.

 I bought the C9 to test fire and work with for my book Poorman's Guide to Prepping. Currently working on a Poormans Guide to Prepping 2, a second book that looks other possible survival strategies such as Van living, RV living, Boat Living and Homesteading.

And here we see the date of image going back to September of 2016. So I had a 9mm Handgun for over a year. I bought a new one, passed another background check, all confirming the lies spread by Kristen Keller and only trolls, pretending to be a threat to me when I have already had to deal with one person, Nathan Lilly (yeah him), trying to get me arrested and another threatening me with a knife...

Don't get it all messed up, all these trolls yapping at my heels exist because I keep winning. And, I don't need to defend my victories... They need to get a victory, to claim they are better then me and will keep barking. All that noise keeps things like this in the public view.

The best part, I don't need to keep poking them... They are doing it all on their own and, just like said in the video above the recipt for my new handgun, "there is ninja mind fuckery a foot but we will get to that later..." But, well if you are so narcissistic that you need to pretend everything is about you..? The internet and Facebook tough guy fuckery is for you.

Regardless my target is non-other then, Kristen Keller and the State of West Virginia. The same people passing the lie that I am prohibited from owning a firearm, are the source of this lie. That is Kristen Keller. The subject, of a $25 Million Dollar lawsuit by me and, who walked blatantly into her own trap by falsifying evidence to discredit me; for publicly mentioning not only the decade of police harassment and false charges but, police involvement in organized crime related to not only drug trafficking and firearms trafficking but, the molestation and pandering of minors in West Virginia.

It is not about martial arts, honestly never was. I didn't bother to fight back against Icy Mike because, whatever dreams I had of being an instructor and running a school have long since been destroyed but, exposing these people and, hopefully helping others who don't have the tools available to them to fight the way I have is what is more important then my business, my reputation or, even my life... Makes you wonder why so many, supposedly "creditable and illegitimate martial artists" would seek to cover up for corruption and criminals?

I can't teach YOUR kids Discipline

One of the biggest issues I have is when I talk about opening my school, is parents asking if teach children. I hate working with kids, because a lot of the concepts I am talking about they don't understand. The issue is never that kids are stupid, it is often that their parents are... Ignorance is just not knowing and we are all ignorant one thing or another. Willful ignorance is stupidity. I can't abide stupidity...

The biggest thing that comes up is parents want their kids to learn discipline. That is fine but, I'm gonna be short and sweet and totally blunt here... You don't need a martial arts class to teach your kid discipline. Teaching your child self-discipline begins by teaching your kids discipline at home and eventually they will pick up keep doing the right thing. When your kids do the right thing (that which they are taught to do and is expected of them) without having to be disciplined by their parents. Its a simple cycle of positive and negative reinforcement.

When kids do something wrong they suffer negative reinforcement (i.e. punishment) and when they do things according to what they are taught, they are given positive reinforcement, (i.e. reward). Eventually the reward is removed and the child will do the right thing in accordance with their instruction expecting a reward and will eventually keep up that cycle. This is the same cycle used to train dogs, and the military. A martial arts class for 1 to 3 hours a week, cannot teach your child to have self-discipline or there is no discipline at home.

No martial arts class, can teach your kids to have self-discipline if the parents do not teach discipline at home. Simple as that... I can teach a kid to fight, I can teach a kid not to fight but I can't teach something that parents are not teaching themselves. This is both a failing of individual parents and American culture as a whole. We have become lazy, weak minded and decadent allowing children to taught by the example of video games and TVs but, forgetting the example that parents set.

In fact, attending a martial arts class can have a very harmful effect on the kid's psychological well being. A child can assume they are a "warrior" from adults talking about being "lineage warriors" (a whole other problem in martial arts) and start fights under the assumption that they "warriors." This can get worse if the parents put on a good image for others but psychological and physical abuse are issues at home. Teaching a kid to fight and even teaching them when its "ok" to fight in the gym or dojo has nothing do with the example of the parents. If as adults we don't set an example for our children, we cannot expect them to grow up as the types of people we want our children to be.

No martial arts class will teach your children to be responsible adults, if YOU are the parents and do not ACT like the Person you want your child to be they will take all your instruction as empty talk. Anyone remember this Commercial from the 90s?

There are millions of martial arts schools dedicated to taking your money while claiming to teach your kids basic life skills you aren't as a Parent. Now I know single mom's who are forced to keep their kids entertained with TV and video games. They try very hard to live in a manner they want their children to, its not easy but life is in itself not easy...

We as Americans need to deal with the ideological issues of Personal Responsibility. The internet is full of "grown ups" spreading lies and slandering their competition. They are not setting an example of respect but, are seeking to attract business by acting like "bad asses." I'm sorry I've met real bad asses and they don't need to hide behind lineage, rank or a uniform. A real bad ass, will mess you up and ain't worried about the law. They also don't get online talk trash trying to act hard...

Me personally, I'm not a Bad Ass and have no desire to be one. You see, when you're a Bad Ass you are surrounded by people who want to be Bad Asses (wannabes) but don't have what it takes or you attract people just like you. You don't get to be a Bad Ass because you have a martial arts rank, own a dojo or are even Special Forces. You get all that because you are a Bad Ass, because inside you are mentally tough and can endure the hardships and complications that come along with getting those things. You can't teach your kids to be mentally tough unless you show them that you are mentally tough. I can't teach YOUR kids (Self) Discipline but YOU can and YOU should.

NOTE: The Author Ron Collins has no children of his own. When asked how he can give parenting advice without having kids he replied "I've raised the neighbor's kids, fed them when their parents spent the food stamps on drugs and alcohol. I've dated single mothers and helped raise their kids. I've also been a team leader in the Army and all of it has taught me to set the example I want others to follow. I don't have kids because I chose to be responsible and use condoms and other means of birth control to not have the responsibility I'm not ready for. "

Omoto Ryu Black Dragon Dojo

So as all the chaos in my lief seems to be headed toward being calmed down and after a year of having Shadow Warrior Publishing at the forefront of endeavors I'm happy to say I will soon, hopefully all thinks considered. Reopen my martial arts schools in down town Beckley, West Virginia.

The Omoto Ryu Black Dragon Dojo will be a "fully operational Death Star..." errr Martial Arts school. The sad truth is martial arts on the internet is full trolls and posers "nut riding" one person's success while targeting others for slander and harassment. Many times this is a sad result of jealousy or fear of competition. However, as I stated before in Will of Iron: Understanding the Fighting Spirit the fact is that it is not how hard you hit but how hard you can get hit and stand up again. The Omoto Ryu Black Dragon Dojo is the flag ship for Black Dragon Ninjitsu and with it comes a explosion of martial arts and self-defense programs. No one has a patient on Ninjutsu (Ninjitsu) and we know from historical research that ninjutsu is not a martial art, there is no sole source of ninjutsu or a "legitimate" one at that. As I have stated before evidence points to Takamatsu making up his tradition from openly revealed historical documents.

The Omoto Ryu Black Dragon Dojo is focused on Self-Defense without the fluff of many martial arts schools and the propaganda expressed by those online. This is a modern martial arts school, and while I do plan to teach and discuss the historical aspects this will come from study of Historical Documents like the Bansenshukai, Sun Tzu's Art of War and the other Chinese military classics, plus books like the Hagakure and Go Rin Sho (Book of 5 Rings). We are planning to teach three systems and host many camps and courses on a more private basis. These three systems are Street Focus Jujitsu & Black Dragon Ninjitsu and I am adding a third course in Civilian Counter-Terrorism Self-Defense that will be available as a series of progressive self-defense courses.

These three Systems are broken down as such...
Black Dragon Ninjitsu:
Lets be honest here Black Dragon Ninjitsu is modern art that is my own invention, it is a mix of the Omoto Ryu Budo, which does contain ninjutsu, US Army Infantry Training, Jeet Kune Do Concepts/Philosophy and other martial arts and training aspects used by Reality Based Martial Arts. This system focuses on six areas of study at five ranges of combat.
Six Areas of Study:
1. Martial Arts...
2. Weapons Training to include firearms tactics later on but, applied to the four fundamental weapons of stick/staff, knives, shuriken or throwing weapons and chains at shodan allowing one to use anything around them as a potential weapon...
3. Psychological Manipulation and Philosophy for the development to resist manipulation...
4. Strategic Planning & Leadership Principles...
5. Tactical Principles and Small Teams organization
6. Survival Training & First Aid to increase the odds of one's survival...

This is to prepare one to fight at all Five Ranges of Combat. These five ranges are...
1. Mental: Not only fighting Psychological manipulation but seeing and evaluating an opponent's intent by non-verbal ques...
2. Striking Range: punching and kicking distance...
3. Infighting Range; which can very between strikes with the knees and elbows to throws, joint-locks/breaks and stand up grappling...
4. Grappling Range: Most often seen as ground fighting distance, while not exclusively the domain of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu we are not as specialized in this range of fighting...
5. Weapons Range; a distance of fighting that can only be achieved using a weapon being it a spear, throwing knife or firearm.

Street Focus Jujitsu:
Another "invention" of mine Street Focus Jujitsu is a modern adaptation of Sport Jujitsu similar to its combative cousin combat jujitsu with a greater focus on modern self-defense and principles of psychology and sociology. This was began is something I was teaching US Soldier's as a Hand-to-Hand Combat Instructor in the US Army at company level in 1/503d Air Assault Camp Casey Korea before the unit was transfer to Italy and re-designated an Airborne Infantry unit. This art was created as an attempt to avoid the drama and childishness associated with the ninjutsu community of the Ninja Martial Arts Cult.

Civilian Anti-Terrorism Courses:
The Civilian Anti-Terrorism Course was a project I started after leaving the Army in 2005, actually around 2009. I feel with today's political climate that this would be best served for anyone seeking to learn basic paramilitary skills. While the core of Civilian Anti-Terrorism deal with identifying and avoiding a potential terrorist threat before it becomes a danger, this course includes basic self-defense combatives, stick & knife work, as well as basic individual and small teams tactics and survival training.

Class Fees:
Monthly, pay as you go no contracts $135 a month or $1,620 a year
$125 a month or $1,500 a year with a one year contract
$115 a month or $1,380 a year with a two year contract

The Civilian Anti-Terrorism Course runs by the course and is broken down into two 4-hour days of training.

Series Course 1: $150 per person

8-Hour Instruction on 1 Hour Power Point Presentation on How to Identity a Terrorist Threat & Understanding Criminal Violence. Self-Defense Combatives (3 Hours) & 4 Hours on Knife Defense and Knife Usage Skills. Broken down into 4 hour seminars over 2 days.
Series Course 2: $250 per person requires

8-Hour Instruction broken down into 2, 4 hour days. 1 Hour safety brief and firearms safety class. 3-Hour class on basic individual tactics and practiced with airsoft rifles. 4-Hour class on a advanced individual tactics and urban survival shooting.
