Lessons from an Apache Scout, Part 3 by Mark Hatmaker

  We continue with the lessons we can reap from master scout of the Southwest American Frontier & Africa, Mr. Burnham. See Part 1 , and Part 2 for full immersion.] “ At this time, I used to practise incessantly with the pistol, with both right and left hands, and especially from a galloping horse .” ·         How you train is how you will fight. ·         Static range time was not the way of these early Hosses. ·         Movement and chaotic movement at that. Mr. Burnham advises that we learn more from rough times than we do the every day nice and easy times we wallow in, day in, day out. “ In order to know life as it really is, it is necessary once in a while to be the under dog.” Ask yourself, who is the wiser, the man in the field doing it or the man on the couch viewing the how-to video? “ As compared to Arizona, California seemed a free and happy countr...

The current “Tried & True” formula for losing fat is… ·         Reduce caloric intake. ·         Increase caloric expenditure. ·         Reducing caloric intake, aka, dietary restriction, aka denying the self; waging that never-ending war of the will between you and the Five Guys burger. ·         The caloric expenditure usually takes the form of aerobic exercise, aka, “cardio.” ·         The more calories burned the better. But… ...

You can read Part 1 here .] When we left off we were asking the following questions. ONE - Why when engaging in power-based or stressed based tasks [combat, competitive sports, power-contact tasks] do we place the dominant hand/foot to the rear as opposed to advancing the “good side” forward? TWO -We also implied the “Hidden Question”… When we “retreat” the strong/coordinated side to the rear we are also placing the dominant eye to the rear, in essence, further from the targeted opponent/task before us—why would this seemingly sub-optimum gaze placement be a “good” idea? THREE - Why is it that this “good side” to rear stance seems to be a human default and not a later tactical “choice?” That is, humans default to this position before any training comes along and says “ This is the right way ...
