  “Diligence passe sens” (“Great is drill.”) Henry VIII A common request among combat rookies and even intermediate players (and if we are honest some long-timers still think this way, too) is “What’s next?” or “What’s the next super-secret neato technique to master?” And I get this attitude, I mean who doesn’t want some new bit of information to chew over, some new skill to toy with and occupy the mind? For some, familiarity breeds contempt and if most of us don’t feel contempt for what we know we must do, we can at least admit that sometimes another day in the gym working on variations of the same things as we did last week can occasionally lead to a bit of staleness. But, despite the occasional battle with “This again?” we must come to terms with and embrace the fact that this is the way of all great and serious endeavors. Let’s look to other sports for illustration. If we were to step onto the court of any winning basketball team during practice, would we expect to see ...

  “Your Faith Can Knock Out Fear” By Gene Tunney Hey Crew, a little archeology has dug up this short article written by the Champ himself. This episode of The Rough n Tumble raconteur Podcast provides the entire written piece, the below is just an extract. “ This happened before my title bout with Jack Dempsey. Dempsey, the Manassa Mauler, was an overwhelming favorite to thump me out in an early round. Newspapers talked of what a murderous lacing he would give me.

  [One in a series of pieces on Frontier JKD , you can read the initial essay here .] The American Frontier Rough ‘n’ Tumble mindset has a psychology of its own. What occurred in the clash of cultures in the Wildlands of the New World was not a mere transport of ideas and ways from The Old World, i.e., Europe. Be those ideas combat, trade, politics, economics, law, hell, even the sciences took their own doglegged tack in the new land. We can get a broad overview on how this unprecedented mindset manifested in Frederick Jackson Turner’s 1893 thesis, The Significance of the Frontier in American History . The ideas were later developed in greater detail, notably by the eminent Librarian of Congress historian, Daniel J. Boorstein, in many linked works on the uniqueness of this era. Let us begin with Mr. Turner as our guide into this roughshod, pragmatic, self-made mindset, this psychology of pluck and grit. Thus American development has exhibited not merely advance along a ...

  [For background on Frontier JKD see this brief essay to set the stage.] San Francisco’s Barbary Coast received this nickname from its violent rough n tumble nature. The original Barbary Coast refers to the Berber Coast of North Africa where Muslim Pirates held sway for some time. The US fought a series of engagement wars there from 1801 to 1805 known as The Barbary Wars—it is from one of these battles that we get the line “… to the shores of Tripoli ” in the Marine Hymn. With the advent of The California Gold Rush in 1849, San Franciso and its environs went from a population of 492 to over 25,000 people. Most all seeking fortune in the gold fields or…in less savory ways.
