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!
