Best Defense premieres on Wednesday, December 31, 2008.
The Best Defense is something new under the sun, a series that focuses on all aspects of personal defense from basic awareness to surviving violent encounters. The show features Michael Bane, author of the landmark TRAIL SAFE personal defense book, as host, with top trainers Michael Janich of Martial Blade Concepts fame and Rob Pincus, creator of Combat Focus Shooting, as regular co-hosts. Each show begins with a cinematically filmed scenario — a carjacking attempt, a home invasion, danger at an ATM — then takes the viewer step-by-step into dissecting that situation to clearly show better and safer ways of resolving the situation.
Filmed on location as such famous training venues as Blackwater Worldwide, Swanson Tactical Training Center and the U.S. Shooting Academy, The Best Defense has a single goal — to make you safer in your everyday life. After each week's episode, additional material can be found on BestDefense.tv, a part of the DOWN RANGE Television megasite.
On this section on the forum, you can make comments and ask questions about the episodes. Our hosts, Michael B., Michael J. and Rob Pincus will drop by and answer on a regular basis.
Our new DRTV Best Defense section will be launched on Monday, December 29th. STAY TUNED!

Now I've got another reason to hope for a quiet night at work on Wednesday's ;D
Sounds like a good program.

Maybe we could get a private online screening of a few of the episodes?!?!?! ;)

I'm as proud of THE BEST DEFENSE as anything I've ever done. Working with Rob, Mike, Brandon (our DP) and Tim has been a joy — and I have learned so very much!
This has been a scary project in so many ways, largely because of the staggering time pressure...we did principle filming for 11 full episodes in 3 locations across the country in 27 days! The fact that we're all still friends is nothing short of a miracle.
My ultimate goal is for TBD to trigger a lot of discussion, becuase that is the way we al learn.
This should be an exciting trip!

In the TV business, things change fast, which is why I am working today.... LOL
The premiere date came as a surprise to all of us.

Great Idea, looking forward to every episode, thanks. ;D

All the while Marshal has been putting this together on the internet.... ( and in doing so, you see and hear the same thing over and over and over and over..........................*so every second will be perfect*.......................) and usually, you are more than ready to NOT hear the same segment one more time.. (http://www.rightnation.us/forums/style_emoticons/default/sm12.gif) .
But in this case.. I am still not tired of seeing or hearing all that he has been working on.
It is THAT good!
These episodes are nothing less than OUTSTANDING...and will keep you riveted to your chair.. Anyone who watches just 2 minutes of the first one, will NEVER miss another one. Man or woman.. you will walk away with a whole lot of knowledge
( visual and otherwise) that you can not put a price on when and if life threatening situations arise.
Great Job and Thank you Michael B...Michael J & Rob and to all who are responsible for giving us this show.
Oh yeah... and thank you also Marshal..for working so hard in getting it on the web, so more people will become informed.
Seeing the end result of all the work, you and everyone involved has done... makes these last few weeks of eating at the table by myself.. and talking to myself worth it.. ;D ;D
I'm as excited as anyone to tune in and see each and every show.

Marshal AND Teresa have done INCREDIBLE work on this project!
Our goal is the same as it has been since the beginning...to change the way guns and shooting are deplicted in all media. It has been an honor to work with great co-hosts like Rob and Mike, but just as importantly to work with visionaries like Marshal and Teresa...
Total world domination...

The way it sounds.... you just may have accomplished exactly that. This is really going to be a top notch show.

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to take a moment and introduce myself. My name is Christopher Doner. I have had the privilage of being a student and friend of Michael Janich for several years now. I have trained in personal-protection skills for 26 years in it's various forms. I work as a Nuclear Secrity Officer and run a small business teaching and providing personal security services. I hope to learn and contribute here when I can. I unfortunately do not have the Outdoor Channel so I am eagerly awaiting The Best Defense on DVD! -Chris

Welcome to the forum, we are glad to have any one with experience or without, The beauty of the people with questions and suggestions is that they may hit on something that you had never considered. For example, one of our other members, TAB, is in building renovation, whats he know about security? Well last night he posted an interesting piece on "hardening your windows and door based on the things he has seen in buildings, facts about door frames for example. Just goes to show that good info is where you find it and I ALWAYS look here first ;D
