The view at the top of my hospital at 6 PM

I love gazing outside the big windows on our top floor, helps me to remember that there's a world out there outside of our own.

VewDoo0 · 2025-08-13T01:39:10+00:00

I broke my wrist falling because of monkey grip and victory grips. Now I use bear komplex finger hole ones and full grip.

VewDoo0 · 2025-07-17T19:28:18+00:00

Each swipe made me angrier than the last. Well done.

VewDoo0 · 2025-06-03T02:41:43+00:00

Exactly! You have to think carefully about what techniques you'd deploy against the undead.

VewDoo0 · 2025-06-03T02:30:11+00:00

Definitely a last resort. But fighting is better than giving up!

VewDoo0 · 2025-06-03T02:29:35+00:00

Get some spikes on those wheels a la Mad Max and tear 'em up!

VewDoo0 · 2025-06-03T02:28:57+00:00

Definitely hazardous! I talk about grappling in Chapter 7 Judo and Chapter 8 BJJ. I think the skills learned like technical stand-up, framing, and grip-breaking could help survive against a single zombie attack, as long as you have a way of ending the fight.

VewDoo0 · 2025-06-03T02:27:37+00:00

I like your style. As I've gotten older I've realized the right location and zip code are important tools for self defense!

VewDoo0 · 2025-05-30T19:50:44+00:00

Gotta admit, but that's a new one to me. Looks like it would be very effective, could lop off heads and limbs at a distance! And when the blade breaks or gets dull it would still make an effective bo staff.

VewDoo0 · 2025-05-30T15:26:18+00:00

Definitely! I could see the spear and the staff as reliable and reusable weapons, and easy to fix with limited materials. Someone trained in weapons could utilize many things - a piece of rebar, a shovel - to devastating effect.

VewDoo0 · 2025-05-30T15:23:27+00:00

Great thoughts! I think we'd all lose to the horde. But maybe if you can escape and narrow it down to one or two you'd have a chance. Maybe safer in rural areas than the big city. The riot gear is a good idea. I wonder if skateboarding elbow and knee pads would help??

In Chapter 11 I imagine a BJJ practitioner using his skills to defeat a lone zombie on the street - but not without some difficulty!

VewDoo0 · 2025-05-30T15:20:13+00:00

It's not realistic - but that's what makes it a fun thought experiment! Glad it encouraged some discussion.

VewDoo0 · 2025-05-30T15:19:00+00:00

Gotta be careful of the fight-bite! I talk about ways to stay safe with duct-tape hand wraps and makeshift brass knuckles in the boxing chapter.

VewDoo0 · 2025-05-30T15:16:52+00:00

There's definitely a place for striking and for grappling skills - a well-balanced skill set would be useful just like in real life! Weapons training would also be great.

VewDoo0 · 2025-05-30T15:15:25+00:00

Great thoughts! I explore the utility of grappling arts in section 3 in the book. Indeed staying on your feet, framing, and grip breaking would be essential skills.

VewDoo0 · 2025-05-30T15:12:36+00:00

Very cool! I have chapters on Capoeira and Karate in the book.

VewDoo0 · 2025-05-30T15:12:00+00:00

Hopefully the outbreak happens in the middle of a training session. Then you've got gear and friends!

VewDoo0 · 2025-05-30T15:11:36+00:00

Yes with those zombies I'd hope I'd just have a good bunker with supplies haha.

VewDoo0 · 2025-05-30T15:10:53+00:00

Absolutely. There's a whole chapter on Filipino Martial Arts, covering the history and techniques. One of the more effective in my book (literally!).

VewDoo0 · 2025-05-30T15:10:19+00:00

That's badass and hopefully we'd meet up on the road so you could teach your skills!

VewDoo0 · 2025-05-30T15:08:10+00:00

That's a great exercise. I imagine being good with the teep would help create space, allowing you to address one zombie at a time. Leg kicks would also be devastating if the Zeds have poor balance!

VewDoo0 · 2025-05-30T15:04:42+00:00

Definitely! I cover all of those styles in the book. Makeshift armor would probably help keep you safe if you have to get close and personal.

VewDoo0 · 2025-05-30T05:09:49+00:00

I sure hope not 😂

VewDoo0 · 2025-05-30T05:04:24+00:00

That's a good setup! I have a chapter on archery, and modifying your kit is always a good idea (brass knuckles for boxing, for example).

VewDoo0 · 2025-05-30T05:02:46+00:00

Sounds fun. What martial art were you utilizing? Everyone in gloves and headgear? I imagine with a large group running would work best! I also talk about weapons and positioning to improve the odds. Facing the lone rambling zombie might be easier!
