What's everyone's everyday carry? I had my CHL but let it expire and carry a small knife every once in awhile. Pretty lax gun and knife laws where I live but most places I want to visit and carry ban firearms and have metal detectors.

@C L that's one expensive screwdriver, I'd hate if TSA snatched mine. The non metallic tools seem like a good idea.

@Anthony Delvalle I have one of these, just not sure how to use it. I get that the pointy end stabs the guy. Is it really more "stabby" than another pen?
Book suggestions
I enjoy studying and reading about BJJ and gone through Ricksons books, the 32 Principles of BJJ and some more. I just started on Richard Breslers Worth Defending, which is quite interesting so far. I’m interested in both the historical and philosophical sides of BJJ, personal development through BJJ and martial art practice as well as the technicalities of invisible BJJ and personal stories. Not so much on how to reach a certain belt or become a sports champion. I would appreciate if anyone got some suggestions on books🙏

I just finished Breath by James Nestor. Super insightful on the importants of proper breathing through your nose and using your diaphragm. It highlights the power of Tummo breathing or the "breath of fire" we see James and Master Risckson teach. I recommend it.

I got "skooled" on the call. I unmuted my mic and the audio volume dropped. I tried to mess with settings and got booted. Sorry about that. @Chris Burns @James Driskill Thank you both! I really enjoy all the calls and the community.

Poor kids. The girl looks mortified. The boy felt pressure not to tap and passed out.

Purple belt in bjj not wanting to lose focus on self defense. I love the sucess I've seen implementing Rickson jiujitsu.
