⚠️ AMMO PRICES ARE RISING — AGAIN ⚠️

If you train regularly, don’t wait.

2026 is already seeing price increases across major ammo brands, driven by higher copper costs, tariffs, inflation, and strong global demand. And the outlook? Prices are expected to stay firm — with gradual increases likely through the rest of the year.

Bottom line:
Waiting for prices to drop may cost you more.

👉 Train smart. Buy ahead. Stay prepared.

I have a great friend named Sario who captured some of the first Kalashnikov rifles encountered in Vietnam. Sario just happened to be a Green Beret. While today he’s a fit, vibrant, jovial man in his 80s, back in 1965, he was a Special Forces advisor running patrols with the Montagnards against th...

Movies and the real-world application of fi****ms have had a troubled relationship. We go to the movies to escape and to dream, so naturally, some of those flights of fancy wind up being applied to how guns are used in movies, and the hero of the movie winds up shooting 30 or so rounds from Read Mor...

Forum: Developing Effective & Welcoming Edge Weapons Training for Women (FEBRUARY 24TH)

This interactive forum is designed for instructors, leaders, and advocates who are passionate about expanding safe, responsible self-defense education for women. Our focus is not simply on technique — but on how we design and deliver edged-weapons training in a way that is welcoming, practical, empowering, and responsive to the real concerns women bring into the room.

Many women exploring self-defense encounter barriers when considering edged weapons as a defensive option. These barriers may include:
Concerns about legality and responsible carry
Fear of escalation or excessive force
Cultural stigma around “weapons”
Lack of female-centered instruction models
Intimidation within traditionally male-dominated training environments

This forum will explore how to thoughtfully address these objections while building a curriculum that emphasizes:
Awareness, avoidance, and judgment first
Responsible decision-making and lawful use of force
Skill development in a supportive, confidence-building format
Clear communication and trauma-informed instruction
Realistic context for modern self-defense scenarios

We’re excited to welcome an industry expert with folding edged weapons, who will lead the discussion on edged weapons training for women. Joining the conversation are additional self-defense experts and leaders bringing additional insight and experience to the dialogue.

This is not a lecture — it is a collaborative forum.

We believe that female leadership and perspective are essential to the development of effective programs. Your insight, lived experience, and thoughtful feedback will directly shape how this training evolves and how it can better serve women in our community.

Expect:
Open dialogue and respectful exchange of ideas
Honest discussion about challenges and misconceptions
Practical curriculum-development strategies
Opportunities to share best practices
A supportive environment centered on empowerment

Our goal is to create space for meaningful conversation that leads to thoughtful, responsible, and accessible self-defense education for women.

We’re truly looking forward to an engaging, empowering, and forward-thinking afternoon together.
