Ed’s Manifesto Weaponology Day 1 3×3 Review
We hosted Ed from Ed’s Manifesto for his two-day Weaponology course.
The class was a collection of techniques, observations, and skills that Ed has accumulated in his career. The material comes from many sources — some traditional, some darker in origin.
The overall theme of the course was how to fight with our bodies and contact weapons, but to summarize the instruction this way would be a disservice.
Here is my 3×3 review of Day 1. I discuss the top 3 things covered in class, the top 3 things I learned, and the top 3 things I am going to change.
The wonderful thing about fight focused training is that if you leave your ego behind, you can transform yourself and your worldview. Every year I have taken at least one class that changes how I look at self-defense, myself, and the world.
I have taken a lot of great classes in 2016, but Weaponology has been the most paradigm-shifting.
Above and beyond the material itself, there is an incredible value in learning what is being practiced and used in the criminal world. It was an honor to gain insight into how “the other half lives.”

He spends his free time attending fight-focused firearm, knife, and combatives training, motorcycling, writing, and playing games.

Class sounds very interesting.
After seeing his stuff on our site, I have started following him on various social media venues. I find his stuff so different from anything else I have been taught, that it is enthralling. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the class, hope to catch one some time in the future.
