Personal Defense Television

[Lisa]

Has anybody every watched "Personal Defense Television" on The Outdoor Channel? The 2006 season started September 27 th and it is hosted by
Tom Gresham with a weekly special appearance by Massad Ayoob with a "reality check" section.

I don't believe my provider offers this channel and I was curious what, if anything, others thought of the program.

a friend of mine mentioned the show and said the first episode was pretty good. I guess it was held at the Valhalla training center in Co. I plan to try to catch it next time it's on (once I find out when that is...:D)

I've been watching it, and discussed the first two episodes here (http://www.fmatalk.com/showthread.php?t=1023). Of course, my focus was on the knife, not the gun. I didn't realize there had been previous seasons!

Gentlemen, I hope to hear reviews of the program since I don't believe I have the channel here myself. So, please....fill in us less fortunate! :)

I have never watched it or even heard of it until reading this post. My interest is peaked and I will be watching for it.

I like this show quite a bit and will be watching it regularly. Even though it heavily focuses on firearms use and little else. It definately is a very, very good show and hopefully it will help people to seek additional firearm training.

The Masoob Ayoob segments are good. Today's focused on using a flashlight for self defense. He did by the way give a lot of props to Filipino martial arts when using a longer flashlight. http://www.martialtalk.com/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif

The other segments focused on ammo for self defense. Shotgun and rifle usage for self defense. Plus they had a segment on concealed carry holsters. http://www.martialtalk.com/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif

Good show and it gets my recommendation.

I liked that one too! This show has been an interesting find for me. I've posted several reviews (http://www.fmatalk.com/showthread.php?t=1023) on FMATalk. It looks like more knifework and empty hand is coming, judging from the show's lead-in.

That would be a nice addition to this show. It certainly will be a show that I will watch and post some more reviews on.
