Welcome to the Best Defense board...
« on: December 27, 2008, 05:22:01 PM »

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!

That is absolutely outstanding, Marshal.
I (probably along with everyone else) anxiously await.
Thanks for bringing this great information to those who might not know where to find it.

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

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

Sounds like a good program.

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!
