Joe Doakes’ Place is the blog rendition of The Integrated Close Combat Forum aka ICCF. ICCF and JDP are family oriented way-places for women and men, the young and old, the ignorant and adroit, to seek and share knowledge of all facets of subjects such as close combat (or so-called self-defense) with or devoid of weaponry, home security, basic first-aid, emergency preparedness/survival, and multitude of other related issues. They are places where WE ALL CAN LEARN AND HELP EACH OTHER.
Both JDP and ICCF differentiate between the needs of the non-professional aka “the average citizen”, the police/law enforcement officer, and the armed forces member, the highly skilled and the first day rookie, the young and old, the healthy/athletic types and those of us who are no longer very healthy and/or very athletic. As well, JDP and ICCF do not overlook the specific sub-categories thereof either, e.g. an infirmed person, a traffic officer, a working single mother, the urbanite, suburbanite, or ruralite, et cetera. While certain skills and equipment overlap, individual circumstance will dictate the essential suggestions, instructions and guidance.
We respect, with vigilance, that the issues, queries, information, ideas, and so forth, presented here be viewed from the perspective of an archetypal individual, a Jane or John Doe if you will. Neither JDP or ICCF are a professionals or instructor based forum, quite the contrary in fact.
JDP and ICCF recognize that there is rarely an unadulterated culminating mechanism or methodology, in other words, there are no absolutes (death and taxes notwithstanding). We consider that there are right ways and wrong ways, there are (most importantly) safe ways and unsafe ways, there are your ways and there are my ways. Nevertheless, as long as your way WORKS FOR YOU it's THE way insofar as you are concerned.
The bottom line is both Joe Doakes’ Place and The Integrated Close Combat Forum seeks and offers real-life concepts, guidance, and solutions to real-life concerns for real-people by real-people.

If I like it and find it useful, I’ll pass on the information. Maybe it’ll help someone else. It's as simple as that.
While I’m at it, I might as well state that the views and opinions I express here are my own. As well, it is not my intent to directly instruct or advise anyone.
