Quote: Here's Carl and I in our first self-defense school in Linden, NJ circa 1979. Notice the early defiance of traditional arts by wearing black GI, T-shirts, and wrestling shoes. The name of our school was Personal Survival Tactics (Carl's idea). QUOTE: This was taken in the desert of Arizona. We were teaching some para-military types. If I remember correctly this is the location where we were shot at with .30 cal rifle fire. We were both using folders in this pic. I believe aBuck 110 and Al Mar. Bob KasperQUOTE: Carl executes a gun take-a-way and counters with a stomp to the knee. We used this knee break technique alot. My dad took this in N. Jackson, PA. We were training in a field behind his house. Bob Kasper QUOTE: Same day and place as the gun defense. Axe hand to the throat followed by a stomp to the knee. Bob Kasper QUOTE: This was taken in Watchung, NJ by my wife. Carl has a Kabar and I'm using a Randall 1. We ALWAYS did all our defensive work with real knives and guns. Bob KasperQUOTE: In case someone has any doubts as to how far back Carl and I go in CQC I took this September 1981 SOF Convention.Carl's Certificate of Merit from training with Charlie Nelson
