Second week of CQC training for Close Protection Officers (CPOs) and security personnel.

Today was especially interesting as the senior CPOs shared striking techniques they’ve applied in the field to stay alive and make it home to their families.

Learning together with a great group of people.

Respect all around.

Knife combat training is not about violence…it’s about preparedness, discipline and survival.

Proper training builds awareness, confidence, and the ability to respond under pressure while emphasizing control, responsibility, and self-defense first.

Thank you Roodekrans Krav Maga for the invitation to teach you the art of the blade.

Training Close Protection Officers and Security Personnel

Day 1 of Close Quarter Combat (CQC) training for Close Protection Officers (CPO) and security personnel is complete.

We covered core fundamentals Yes! But then moved to more important work like protecting your firearm in a confrontation, blade and baton work.

Strong focus and professionalism from everyone involved.

Appreciation to Valor for hosting Raven Combat and providing excellent training facilities and classrooms for both practical sessions and lectures.

More to come on a weekly basis.

Today was a solid step forward.

After running the AK-47 with control and confidence, I introduced Marlo to the first three exercises of the tactical unit standards set at a level that’s 2 seconds faster than the instructor shoot.

Exercise:

1. 5 meters 5 rounds 6 seconds from draw

2. 5 meters 5 rounds 6 seconds kneeling from draw

3. 5 meters 5 rounds 8 seconds draw with the strong hand and transition to the weak hand.

No easing into it, just straight into the standard.

Pressure reveals everything. And that’s the point.

No shortcuts, no excuses just discipline, repetition, and the willingness to meet the bar, even when it’s set high.

That’s where real growth lives.

We don’t chase average. We train above it.

We build. We sharpen. We elevate.

Rifles officially sighted in today 🔭💥

Now it’s all about putting in the reps and staying sharp for the June and July hunt.

The range was alive with action, rounds cracking, gear dialed in, and focus locked.

Even the goat at the Rooikraal office had enough of the chaos and came looking for shelter 😂

Hunting season loading… 🦌🔥

On the 24th of April 2026, a single phrase was used in Parliament- ‘ensure enactment.’ Not consider. Not review.

Ensure.

If that doesn’t concern you as a South African, this conversation might change your mind.
