@@bamoto8463 No, I live in Pennsylvania and the ski seasons have been very poor.

My grandfather introduced me to marksmanship, and my step-dad helped take it up a notch. I was a steady 1/2 moa at 300 yard with a 2/22. That was when I was 15 or 16, and I’m 44 now. I bought a proper sniper rifle, and the scope cost more than the rifle. It was super fun getting back into it. Navigating the physics, knowing how to adjust the scope is straightforward. Seeing the vapor trails and the bullet trace is pretty amazing. It’s all about learning how to read the wind. Nothing beats a 3 1/2 seconds wait at a mile, or the 7 seconds at 3000 yards, that passes before the bullet bangs on the steel.

Bond also spoke Danish in one of the films (Tomorrow Never Dies, iirc)

You're quite right. The scene of him in the bed where he is, erm, 'brushing up' on his skills

I can't say I know any self defense, however my hobbies over the years have included push bike racing, windsurfing, unicycle, kayak fishing, strength training and chess. Anything that takes time, dedication and persistance is a reflection of your character. I can ski and golf but not for a long while. I would like to learn a language and play a musical instrument when I find the time, for now I will stick to reading as much as I can.

Inspiring. Thank you. It takes a team to keep everything running as smooth as possible.

It's the reason why I like Bond, it is easy to forget how talented he is. It's one of the reasons why I prefer Bond to be about 40 (give or take a few years) for the first film. I just find it impossible to believe a person can master all these skills, know multiple languages fluently, know multiple fighting skills, expert weapon use as well as bomb disposal knowledge, expert vehicle use (including fast car driving, sailing, motor boating, flying planes and helicopters), extremely competent at sports, Hunting, fencing, rockclimbing, diving, skiing, swimming, golf (and the typical sports of the upper class), an expert gambler, entertain like a member of the British aristocracy knowing all the protocols like how to dress, how to make drinks & what fork to use, have a long career in the military/intelligence and rise the ranks of 00 (No offence) I just couldn't take a 20 something seriously

It certainly would take at least 10-20 years of adulthood to be so capable in such varied aspects of life. So I agree, 35 to 50 is a good age range for Bond, in my mind.

My friend, while I certainly enjoy your awesome content and appreciate the great video, I must warn you against the practice of Krav Maga. This is especially true if you are taking it in the U.S. -most Krav Maga here is of dubious nature and is at best a VERY watered down version of what is taught by the IDF. Real Krav is more like practical considerations to, say, sacrifice four of your fingers to pull a knife blade off of your neck, not replicable techniques that can be applied in live sparring. Real Krav is much more of a manual for survival tactics in wartime armed conflict than it is a trainable martial art, and many "instructors" in the U.S. are borderline con-artists who are capitalizing off of a fad. Additionally, any "martial art" that does not include a hard sparring component does not pressure-test its techniques, and therefore does not train you to realistically defend yourself. Your expectations going into self defense training should be that after at least a few years of consistent training in a universally-recocognized-as-effective combat sport, you will be more likely to survive a violent encounter. A good rule of thumb is to pick a combat sport (or cross train multiple) that is provably viable as a sub-component of MMA, such as wrestling, boxing, Muay Thai, Judo, Jiu-Jitsu, etc. For reference, I am a competitor/coach in submission grappling (Judo, wrestling, BJJ, Sambo techniques all allowed) and a Muay Thai boxer.

That is true, although Connery was also very physically capable. Bond actors generally reflect the 'ideal' male physique of the time. Certainly that standard has gotten a lot higher in the last 20 years

Hi James, I think an online group chat could be quite beneficial for the gentz which cannot join the meetings. It would be a great opportunity to discuss, connect between ourselves and share our journey.

Sean Connery grew up in a tenement building in Edinburgh. When he became famous as an actor he met a beautiful actress in New York and upset her on/off boyfriend who was a member of the New York Italian mafia. Connery was threatened by this hoodlum and stood up to him and told him if he wanted it then Connery was more than willing to take him on. That’s where it ended. Connery was a serious guy and could handle himself.

Do you think Bond is similar to John Wick? Both have sense of style, respected in their field, both very cultured throughout the world. I’d say John Wick was devoted to his wife and not a serial lover like Bond. But Wick definitely got the attention of ladies.

“Bond never gambles to ruin.” I’m not positive what your meaning is here. If it’s that he never gambles until he’s broke in a particular evening, he does precisely that in Casino Royale with baccarat in the book, and poker in the movie. If you mean he’s gracious enough to not ruin his opponent, that was his mission in the same story. If you meant he’s not a habitual gambler draining his own resources into destitution, then you’re probably right. Then again, he never plays with his own money.

This is very British. Perhaps the most associated 007 skill is shooting, which if you’re in the USA you can easily visit a shooting range, and it’s possible in other countries as well. I encourage the videomaker to have the very “international mindset” he endorses at the beginning of this video, and to think of his audience beyond the confines of his own country.

Also as for the James Bond character……all that he (the fictional character) does…..definitely would not and could not happen without the financial $$$$$ means to support him.
