Featured Experts
Ed Calderon: Weapon-ology
Using case studies to reverse-engineer criminal methodologies involving weapons, this segment of the training focuses on the evidence-based employment of austere, environmentally sourced offensive tools.
Designed for both government and civilian personnel who travel abroad and may have a need to create their own defensive options, this module not only focuses on fabrication and employment but also the frequently overlooked and rarely taught aspects of concealment and the "smugglers mindset" based on criminal modus operandi from around the world.

Raul Martinez: Advanced Handgun Skills
Handgun deployment, retention and recovery at contact distance: there’s more to carrying a handgun then just being able to shoot. Very often you’ll find yourself in very close quarters with other human beings and this presents a number of considerations. Understanding how to defend, retain and or retrieve your weapon from an adversary within extreme close distances is a discipline you must be familiar with.
Law Enforcement officers are shot with their own weapons frequently and CCW owners fall victim to the same types of threats as well. This course will give you the skills and knowledge to help you understand what to do when things get physical and there is a weapon involved. Make no mistake these are extremely important life savings skills for anyone caring any type of weapon in today’s society.
Kawa Mawlayee: Lone Operator
Whether you carry a pistol concealed as a civilian or you are a professional Protector in law-enforcement or private security, the ability to move through a structure with a pistol in an effort to save human life is something very few of us have training on but is extremely relevant to being armed in today’s urban environments.
Kawa has a tremendous background as an Special Forces operator training with Tier 1 and Tier 2 professionals at the tip of the spear for years. If you’re thinking about how you can protect your home or trying to best understand how you may need to move within a high-threat scenario out in public, this module is extremely valuable for all protectors.

Instructor Zero: Close Combat Vehicle
Craig "Sawman" Sawyer: Modern Day Protector
The “SAWMAN“ will be our keynote speaker delivering a presentation on what it takes to be a modern day protector and how that plays into one of the biggest industries in the world right now, human trafficking. This presentation is all about the DNA of who we are as Protectors and the reality that human trafficking Ken and does affect every single one of us whether we know it or not.
Understanding what you can do to join the fight and how you can protect your family from someone who is out in the field fighting this war is truly in valuable information in today’s evolving battlefield. If we know how the enemy works then we know how to protect those we love and that is what protectors are all about.
