    Show # 366: Jonathan Deal of South Africa's Zero Points Down Academy

     
    On today's Coffee with Rich, we will be joined by Jonathan Deal. MR. Deal operates full time as the founder and lead instructor of Zero Points Down Academy (ZPD) in South Africa.

    MR. Deal operates full time as the founder and lead instructor of Zero Points Down Academy (ZPD) in South Africa. ZPD is a bespoke training operation catering for Police mandated training of citizens on all small arms as well as advanced levels of sport shooting, including precision long-range shooting.
     
    He is the IDPA State Coordinator for the Cape Province in South Africa and a keen Sport Shooter. In 2020 he founded the SAFE CITIZEN Campaign www.safecitizen.co.za – a civil rights group concerned with the safety of South Africans who daily face escalating and brutal crime.

    Writing on Travel and Tourism, his book, Timeless Karoo was published in 2007, and as a freelance journalist and photographer, he also writes for various publications, including the Rhodes Business School website and the Daily Maverick. He is a past chairman of the Southern African Freelancers Association and is sought after as a speaker and debater on environmental issues at international conferences. Deal presented at Al Gore’s International Climate Leadership School in Johannesburg in March 2014 and was honored in the same year to be listed by City Press as 1 of 100 World Class South Africans, sharing the accolade with fellow citizens such as Nelson Mandela, Mark Shuttleworth and Charlize Theron.
     
    His background in journalism and public speaking has proved invaluable in moving Safe Citizen forward.
     
    As a committed trainer, he holds a fierce passion for lawful and competent private gun ownership and regards himself as an influencer in this realm in South Africa. Reading widely on training and civil rights issues, Deal views SafeCitizenas a necessary vehicle to move lawful gun owners close to the police as trusted allies – proving that citizens who can defend themselves will be a powerful and positive influence on the communities in which they live.

    Deal intends to use every resource available to unite lawful South Africans who support private firearm ownership, to overturn the untrue perception that firearms are bad and that private firearm owners are to blame for the flood of illegal firearms in the country.

    He is determined that his fellow citizens should be able, via the lawful possession of a firearm to enjoy the Constitutional guarantee of freedom from public or private violence.

    Show # 365: 52 VtK Combatives System with Ken "Shadow" Goodman

     
    On today's Coffee with Rich, we will be joined by Ken "Shadow" Goodman.
    Ken "Shadow" Goodman, the founder and Chief Combatives Coach of 52 VtK, is a testament to the power of resilience and constant self-improvement. His journey began within the challenging confines of the New York State prison system, where he was a resident for a quarter-century.
    In this violent subculture, Ken honed his combat skills, intensively refining them for survival. His self-protection system, a product of years of meticulous development, was born and tested within these walls, proving its effectiveness time and again.

    Ken's introduction to the martial arts world occurred at age five and set the groundwork for his profound journey. He kick-started his training with fencing and the prison dirty-boxing style known as '52 Blocks' or 'Jailhouse Rock.' This foundation allowed Ken to complement his fighting style with conventional boxing, Ving Tsun, Kali, and Krav Maga in the later years. Today, Ken Shadow Goodman, the man who turned adversity into resilience, shares his expertise with the world, reinforcing the importance of self-protection and teaching the skills needed to make it a reality.

I enjoy the verity of topics and guest that you present. We live I troubling times as a result of politicians with agendas the are contrary to our constitution. I’m glad you are will to get political from time to time.

Good but could use better audio

I would listen a lot more because the content is good, but the audio can be so bad that I literally cannot keep listening. If you’re still making unnecessary mouth sounds and swallowing beverages into the microphone every minute, I will not listen no matter how good the content is. You lose me on most episodes with anyone but Rich hosting. Please please please just be audibly polite and professional on the air.

Evolution Security - Rawkguitarist

Rich, the show about the atrocities of human trafficking was excellent. I’m so glad you and your guest laid the facts out about where a LOT of this terrible situation is due to the current admin’s policies. That IN FACT policies changed drastically between the 2 admins - WITNESSED by your guest! That guy that gave a one star review due to politics needs to wake up to reality and realize who he’s supporting. Speak the truth AWS!!!
