Rather than focusing on doomsday insurgencies against tyranny, like a recent ammo.com article described, it’s more skillful to use the Constitutional prescription for the security of a free state.

It’s time to change the narrative on the use of arms in a just society, particularly to curtail the designs of rogue officials.

In this, pragmatic strategies from samurai tradition allow individual arts, like aikido, to scale up for larger social contribution.

A violent encounter caught on film against a female police officer getting a gun stuck in her face reveals deep lessons for warrior-scholars advancing liberty.

Strategy and tactics, based on the universal and scientific principles of natural law, for the security of a free state, are informed by the principles of political economy.

Criminal tragedies in the first minutes of the New Year 2019, reinforce the seriousness of conflict in the real world. Securing life, liberty, and property requires training founded upon reality, where consequences matter not only for individuals but society as a whole. 

In 1928, Kenji Tomiki wrote a letter expressing the superiority of aikijujutsu (aikido) to the sport of judo for the arena of ‘shinken shobu’ where edged weapon combat with live blades determines life or death. 

Reality based martial training, properly oriented on self-governance, must do away with a sporting mentality and focus on protection against armed aggression.

Ascribing human qualities to abstractions, like society and the resulting yet illogical social contract theory, opens the door to corruption and abuse.

Countering these fallacies with the Precision Model of thinking demands specificity and affords greater understanding to everyone involved.

The evolution of law, justice, and governance also requires greater precision, specificity, and explicit terms for contracted security.

While somewhat helpful, creating a vision of a more secure and prosperous world requires more than mere slogans.

It requires knowing what, exactly, to defend.

Leaving these definitions unclear only invites corruption and the perversion of law. There is a way to clarity.

We can learn from tragedy and incorporate unfortunate lessons into our greater situational awareness that creates the space necessary to apply technique.

This also requires a legal environment that supports individual dignity, based on scientific law.

Real progress comes through deliberate human action working with natural resources to produce life-enhancing goods. This requires a legal environment that protects private property, repels invasions, and values individual initiative.

Samurai leader Hojo Tokimune defended Japan from the Mongol horde, yet died tragically from Tuberculosis.
