I am happy to announce I will be hosting “No Lie Blades Tactical Combat Arts on the Beach”, NLB, with Hank Hayes, March 25-26, 2017 (Saturday and Sunday).

This will include two full days of tactical combat training and will be held at the Ramada Inn located at 615 Atlantic Ave. Virginia Beach, Va. 23451 in the resort area.

This will be one of Hank Hayes’s very few hosted civilian/open enrollment trainings offered in the United States. Hank Hayes has limited his United States training to Military and Law Enforcement only in the past 18 years and this is a special opportunity to participate in his training as a civilian.

I have personally been training through private lessons with Hank Hayes since March 2016 and give him my highest endorsement as being the real deal. This is not marital arts training but combat arts training, survival and winning training. You owe it yourself to be able to survive and win an attack from an edge weapon or any other weapons, his core training, to using weapons of opportunity in your environment which acts as a force multiplier to increase your chance of winning. This will be presented in a special two-day format.

Who is Hank Hayes and what does he teach?
In 1997 Hank invented the No Lie Blades Training Knife and in 2002 released the No Lie Blades Edged Weapon Tactical Fighting System. His company is an official Department of Defense / GSA Contract firm with a 97% US government past performance record. As of Jan 2014 his company has officially and successfully trained over 19,002 operators from DI’s (Drill Instructors), SOCOM (Special Operation Command), SF (Special Forces), fast entry groups, S.W.A.T. teams, Sheriff Dept.’s, Corrections, Patrol officers, and many Force Protection units. NLB courses are now accredited in several different states are on the United States GSA 84 contract.
His core training is defeating an edge weapon attack and turning your defense into an offense.

How physical is this training and what shape do I need to be in?
First I would like to say that I do this training and I am up for Social Security benefits this year so if I can do it you be the judge of yourself.

Hank has never had a serious injury with his training with either law enforcement or military special forces. He critically monitors for safety and each person goes at their own pace. However, I know an attacker is not going to go easy on me due to my age and most likely will see an older person as an easier prey. I train for these reasons and I believe this type of training is necessary for my well-being at this stage in my life.
