Joining us today is Instructor "Zee" Durham, retired from the Army’s Special Forces (18C) where he specialized in building clearing and combatives. To better his skills, he earned a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, was a competitive MMA fighter with a 7-1 record, and is a multi-time champion in various grappling tournaments. He now seeks to share his skills by teaching people to protect themselves (and others)- regardless of occupation or skill level. Zee has a knack for pulling from his vast experience the right mix of skills each client needs, and crafting custom courses that fit budget and time constraints.

While in Special Forces, Zee deployed 6 times to various locations in the Middle East with all of them being combat deployments except 2. During these deployments, Zee worked with hundreds of soldiers in the elite forces of these various countries. Zee taught them, trained them, and fought beside them in order to accomplish the mission successfully.

We discuss the following and all sorts of stuff between and beyond:

1. The little guy doing big things

2. Being a better person

3. Suffering to get to success

4. Purpose and being a part of something larger. Be a resource to your community

5. Commonality and staying in our small worlds

6. Being a Capable Citizen is being able to handle what life throws at us. We have the ability to do great things. We are all people able to accomplish great things.

7. Worst Case scenarios and preparedness

8. Trauma/Violence and broken families and breaking curses of our upbringing

9. And more!
