SERE, Surveillance Footage & a Rare Invite to Train With Me

“Your transport aircraft has just crashed in a remote and hostile environment. You and only a handful of other troops have survived the crash. As you survey the surroundings, you notice a crowd of local inhabitants running toward the wreckage, screaming wildly, with brows furrowed and fists clenched. The level of fear inside you begins to skyrocket…” —From the SERE Meets SPEAR article

Those of you who’ve been following me for a long time know I’ve done a ton of work with Special Operations, Special Forces, and governments around the world. Over the years, I’ve worked with some elements within the Department of Defense. And as these individuals graduated my class over the decades, they’ve moved around to different elements within the DoD—and their experience with our training—which included a unique approach to managing fear, understanding neurobiology, and how fear affects and afflicts performance—led to many, many referrals over the years.

A lot of these organizations I can’t name—because if I told you, I’d have to kill you… and then who’d read next week’s newsletter? 😏

But seriously, we still consult with many of them. OPSEC and all.

But this one group? The SERE instructor cadre—well, their unit thought this course was important enough to let others know.

They sent their media team to document the experience and even published an article.

So it’s 100% AOK to talk about—and I’ll share the article below.

This was an exciting group to work with. Consider the scenario above.

Think Black Hawk Down! Holy shit.

It was an honor to help shape and define some new strategies and tactics for the SERE program.

Do you—or your team—have a potential colossal Murphy moment scenario that could impact the mission, the business, or even your relationships?

We can help you build resilience, improve mind speed, and enhance your survivability through our training systems.

If your organization, company, or police force is looking for a scientific, psychologically sound training system that will enhance survivability, improve self-defense IQ, and make your people safer—regardless of experience or gender—reach out.

We run courses all over the world, but our specialty is custom and private training.

Another snippet from the article:

“The central nervous system of your personal safety choices should be based on your body’s central nervous system. If the training and tactics aren’t congruent with how humans actually think and then move, your reactive brain can override the system. Result? Those complex motor skills you practiced are nowhere to be found. And that’s why when you see surveillance videos of ‘real violence’ you rarely see technical movement. Violence doesn’t care what martial art you study.

In a real fight, it’s not who’s right that matters, it’s who’s left.”
