These are the people who have changed my life for the better and given me life saving skills and the warrior mindset.

Lets hear from others on this subject.


1969: Marine Corps Senior drill instructor SSgt. Heil
1969: Marine Corps asst. drill instructor Sgt. Epperson

These two instilled the warrior spirit in me. They also taught me to overcome any and all adversity through mindset.

1981: Brig. Gen Mitchell Werbell 111. One of the original founders of the OSS during WW2.

Mitch and his cadre of professionals passed life saving skills and tactics and furthered the warrior spirit path.

1994: James Keating, Master at Arms:

Jim furthered the mindset of the warrior spirit as well as imparting superior blade handling/defensive knife skills.

These four men have done more to keep me alive during the last 30 years while faced with life threatening events than all other instructors.

I owe my life to these men for the knowledge they imparted as well as the warrior mindset they instilled, both of which I find necessary to overcome adversities while staying up and running.

Noone here has any formal training on knives?

Anybody in the Northeast who would like some may contact me through the forum and we can get you on the road to being capable of defending with your EDC.

All these knife nuts and only one response from anyone who has actually taken some personal training?

Come on folks, knowledge can never be taken away from you.
