Krav Maga Self Defence - KMSD UK

A very interesting note from Tom Ziglar
on the invisible fence. Not to be confused with the self defence fence.

Interesting how tech feeds us the exact info we need sometimes when we were not even looking! Food for thought...

Whose Pasture Are You Standing In?

Farmers have discovered something remarkable.

They can now outfit their cows with a GPS-enabled neck collar — and those cows will stay exactly where the farmer wants them, move exactly when the farmer wants them to move, and never wander past an invisible boundary the farmer drew on his phone.

No fences required.

The collar emits a beep when a cow approaches the virtual line. If she keeps walking, a mild pulse nudges her back.

Within five to seven days, most cows respond to the beep alone. They’ve been trained.

They don’t even know it.

Now. Pick up your phone.

I’m not being dramatic. I’m being precise.

The Collar Is Real — and So Is the Benefits Story

To be fair to the technology, the smart neck collar for cows is genuinely impressive.

It monitors body temperature, heart rate, and activity levels around the clock. It detects illness early, tracks reproductive cycles, and alerts the farmer when a pregnant cow separates from the herd. It delivers real health benefits.

The cows are not being harmed by the health monitoring side of the system.

That part is real, and it’s good.

But the same collar that protects their health also controls their movement — invisibly, systematically, and without the cow having any awareness that she’s been conditioned.

She thinks she’s just grazing.

She has no idea that every step she takes has been curated by someone looking at a satellite map on an iPhone.

Your Phone Does Both of These Things Too

Your phone tracks your steps, monitors your sleep, reminds you to breathe, celebrates your workout streaks, and cheers you on with little digital badges.

That’s the health monitoring side.

It’s real. It’s useful. I’m not against it.

But.

The same device that monitors your health is also delivering a continuous, invisible stream of beeps designed to nudge you toward someone else’s boundary.

The notification that pulls you back into the app.

The outrage headline engineered to spike your cortisol so you keep scrolling.

The algorithm that figures out exactly what flavor of content makes you forget to put the phone down.

The perfectly timed discount that shows up right after you searched for something in a private browser window.

You think you’re grazing. You have no idea the pasture was designed.

Great weekend at the martial arts marathon in aid of the Childrens Charity South West.

Lots of different martial arts and two different Krav Maga sessions.

An absolute joy to showcase Krav and try other martial arts, note to all wrist locks really hurt when you are 50+ 🤣. It has been 20+ years since I did Aikido.

If you want to start martial arts then give me a shout. I can help with that

I would have expected driving instructors to be classed as 'coaches" but this is not the case. They are certainly a person in a position of trust

What reason do you have to not start self defence classes with us?

You get fitter, improves mental wellbeing, you learn easy to able battle tested techniques to use against an attacker.

I know you just haven't got around to it.

So I give you a round tuit. No excuse now 😉😁😂

People of Sale...

I need your help.

I am looking for a venue to run adult, ladies and kids self defence classes mid week.

We have asked a few places already but they are booked. We cannot us the leisure centres because we train, at higher levels, with rubber guns and knives 🫣

I am proud to be able to support the Children's Hospice South West.

I will be running a Krav Maga self defence workshop as part of a 12 hour charity event to raise funds for the hospice.

The event is in Bideford on 7th June run by Combat Jujitsu Ryu at Kingsley School. It would be great to see some of my network there. You never know you might find your new martial art there are lots of different types attending
