Michigan Swan: Anime Convention 2009
Hey gang, welcome to another special Michigan Swan episode. In this one, I went with my friend Rupert to JAFAX, which is now on its 14th year. It’s a convention held at Grand Valley State University that focues on anime, manga and games. It’s also totally free to get into, which sets it apart from other conventions. So, while it may not be the largest con (for some of those, see my tokyo swan series), it doesn’t cost a dime to walk into the door which is cool.
We went two years ago, and just like last time we decided to cosplay and dress in costumes to get into the spirit of things. Last time, I picked a (at the time in america) character that was fairly obscure to American anime fans (kyon from the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya), but this time Rupert and I got a great reception for our Pokemon ‘team rocket grunt’ costumes. They were also extremely cheap to make, so I was very pleased with the results.
The convention itself was fun (especially if you are into cosplay). There were different booths selling anime goods, and there were different rooms showing subbed and dubbed anime, childrens anime, adult anime (hillarious), as well as music videos and other fun things. Anyways, hope you enjoy this episode of Michigan Swan… and see you next time!

Extreme Close Quarter Shooting Seminar
This clip shows some passages of one of our latest seminars. We did some shooting in very close ranges as well some basic stuff. Also addressed was the problem of edged weapon attackers. SInce you mostly get stuck with the knife even if you shot the guy we did something different.
Also some more traditional stuff was added, but our main focus stays on: he is really close…actually he is too close. What do you do?
