It seems with the above question, with the latch instead of the universal shield, it is better to apply with the left forearm down, correct? For those who purchased the DVD in 2007, what will be available to them that are additional products included in the new set? Thanks, B Smith

Points that should be considered when deciding in which position an edged weapon should be carried on your body, should include the following: Welcome to the Ray Floro blog page. Ray’s recently released DVD has been widely accepted as one of the best knife systems to ever be released to the public as an instructional program. Many people who have bought the program have been keen to get Ray to answer some questions about the finer points of his system and how best to train in it effectively. Ray answers those questions here! Administrator. |
