Institute of Defensive Methods- Hoboken Business Profile

Being a blogger in a politically charged town such as Hoboken can potentially be a bit dangerous. I have been called a communist and a sadist by a drunk at his big birthday bash, shouted at in a court of law by another Cammarano crony and the latest tirade from "koko points web boy" was probably the least of my concerns. Despite my large stature it could be time to get a better defensive skill set should the need arise. I am definitely not the type to start a fight but finishing one quickly in one's favor quickly is always the best course. I was walking around in the SW area last week trying to expand my walking patterns in the Mile Square City and I stumbled upon this business that opened up in 2008. It could come in handy protecting my camera equipment from would be assailants. You never know.
