“As a qualified VIP Protector, I thought I knew all about close quarter combat but
this learning opportunity exposed all the shortcomings in the current VIP teachings.
These skills will certainly assist our soldiers in internal/external operations ranging
from conventional to peace support operations. I would recommend this training to the
remainder of the SANDF (South African National Defence Force) as this will assist our
soldiers in Peace Support Operations.

..."As with all your Workshops that I have been fortunate enough to attend, you will
definitely leave bruised and sore (It should be hard work after all!), but rest assured the pain is
only temporary and it will subside. The awesome new concepts, skill-sets and tools that you develop
along the way though will go a long way towards helping ensure that you not only survive
but PREVAIL in a dire life threatening situation!

I never got a chance to tell you guys, but literally the week after I did your seminar
I was walking home after buying a cheap knife to train with, and was attacked on the street
by a guy with a knife. I used the stuff that you taught to not only successfully defend
myself but to knock the guy down and disarm him. So thanks for your thorough and inspiring
teaching!
Regards,
Charles

Hello Mark
My greatest respect to your methodologies as it saved my life and property, not to mention
making 4 Baddies life hell, one with a extended neck after the choke and "gentle" nudge after
which he went to sleep. They will not forget it in a hurry.
When I needed the blade it was not there, empty hand sufficed and did the job well, fancy
technique fell out the window and the pure basics came to the fore.
Respect to my instructors.
