“ I have a combatives instructor. His name’s Tom Kier from SAYOC Tactical Group. If you’ve ever watched the movie The Hunted with Benicio del Toro — the knife fighting, that’s what they do and they are the best in the world.
And Tom Kier is a knowledge transfer specialist. He’s changed my life in mindset more than anybody else on the planet. And he told me a quote the other day — and it references this kinda, and we were talking about experience, and he goes — “If you understand, no explanation’s needed. If you don’t understand, no explanation is possible.”
And that came from Dave Joyce, another SAYOC disciple. And it’s the truest thing I’ve ever heard. “ – DJ Shipley
