Training Scars

Training scars … we all have them. I’m not talking about training scars like the black eye you get when your partner goes a little too hard while sparring or the scars you get when you cut your finger trying to quickly open your fighting knife. The training scars I’m talking about are the unintentional bad habits you have acquired during the course of your training. All training, no matter how...

Caught in the Act: Anti-Gunners' Trick Photo Exposed
