    Ken and I do in our normal classes. This training, which normally consists
    of about 2 hours of low-light work, has been met with overwhelming positive
    comments from students. Many leave the class saying that was the single
    best part of the training. Ken and I have a unique approach in our

    Looking forward to finally training with these gentlemen, and meeting friends and supporters from the past and present. I'm trying to talk Steve and Eric into coming as well.

    In the meantime, if anyone has any last minute gear requirements, from ammo to Woolrich and anything in between, let me know. I'll do everything I can to make sure that you can concentrate on fighting, not what gear you should have brought.

    FYI - I'm not going to stop taking names for this class. I'm just going to keep taking names and adding them to the list. When it comes time to send in payments for the class I'll just start contacting the first twenty-four guys. After that I will just continue down the list until the class is filled.

    This way I have a larger pool of interested guys and fewer hassles when it starts coming down to the wire. I used to do this for the Blackwater classes we did years ago and it was easier on me. I have no idea why I stopped, but were going back to it now.

    Guys backing out give me more gray hairs than I need. I already have one wife, two ex-wives and three daughters (Ages 11-13). That’s enough potential trouble for any man.

    It has not been a big problem yet, but I'm trying to avoid it ever being an issue.
