We are then going to have about a 30 minute interview with … Continue reading →

We are going to discuss security and security planning for large scale and long term break downs.

After spending a week with Val Riazanov on systema and Russian martial arts and filming the new DVD series I thought it might be a good day to do a show on dealing with potentially violent confrontations. Join me today as we discuss… First a correction on my error from yesterday – the RRR is NOT a private army Real violence vs. movie violence The morals of the criminal, he has none Professional = death when it comes to killing The first rule is avoiding the confrontation If you can’t avoid it focus on deescalation If deescalation fails at times … Continue reading →
