Executive Protection - Bodyguard Training, Kidnapping Prevention & Tactical Firearms Training References

Hi A,

I came back to Riyadh. Thank you very much for my training. The training was very good and
instructors are also very good. They are kind and arranged everything for
me. I'm glad to see them. I want to keep in touch with them and you.
Serbia is a good country. I could find many tactical equipments there. I
cannot find them in Riyadh and it's difficult to find them even in Japan
because of their stock and price.

I'm planning next trainning in Belgrade. 3-days, 450 rounds handgun-MP5-AK47
and also shotguns if I can try. I want to go to Belgrade next March but I'm not sure. I have to check
our schdule.

Thank you very much and I hope to see more of you,

Hello A.

I was writing to thank you for helping me attend the close-protection
training with B. This past week will help someone like me more than you may
know and I enjoyed every second of it. B was great with working with me on
having an interview on Tuesday (that unfortunately took a lot of my
concentration at the time, but worked out great), while still being highly
motivated to complete his entire training curriculum. The material we went
over was great, his stories about Risks' clients and protection operations
he was part of were remarkable and interesting to listen to. That is not to
mention how much I can already tell the training helped with my own personal
confidence level and my understanding of tactics and self defence in both
close protection of others and myself. I think I will carry this training a
long ways and I look forward to using it in my life. Thanks again for
everything.

Hello A,

Thanks for all your help and making the class understandable and
comfortable. It's funny cause my brother was asking me what kind of gun I
was shooting? And I didn't remember. I only remembered that it was NOT
American and it was powerful (well....to me it was). What was I shooting? Oh
yeah, will I ask for the same gun when I return to the range? Or will I use
a different one? How would I know what kind of gun to use? Other than the
fact that I use one that is comfortable and easy for me to handle. (I
remember that). I'm sorry I know I should probably know the answers to these
questions.
.
Anyway, I also wanted to thank you for taking the time to go in with me to
help me shoot. I wasn't sure if that was apart of the class or not. So
thanks.
.
I know I didn't have too many question during the class but as time go on
and I begin to absorb it all I will probably have a question or two. So if
its not too much trouble I just wanted to know if it would be alright to
contact you if I did?
.
Thanks again.

Dear A.
.
I have just received the executive security manual. Everything works fine.
Thank you very much for the excellent cooperation
.
Mr A.

Dear, A:

My regards to you and your family, sir.

This is R. If you don't recall who this is, just remember the 20-dollar
bill. This short message is to let you know that today I got my "Concealed
Carry" license in the mail. It just took 47 days. So, everything went fine
in that regard.

On the other hand, I have already tried the Taurus snubby I told you about.
It did just fine. I used FMJ 158-gr Magtech bullets, Standard Pressure, and
it responded perfectly. I didn't want to use the +P rounds for it was my
first shots with the gun. Next time I'll try the +P rounds.

Attached is a picture of how I did in said practice. I'm really more than
satisfied, sir. I'm sending you the picture not so much for you to see how
well I did, but to tell you how well you taught me during the instructions.
For that, again, I thank you very much.
.
As usual, my regards to you, A... and I hope we'll meet again at the range
one of these days...
.

Former Tactical pistol / Florida CCW class in South Florida, US.

I just wanted to take a moment and let you know how absolutely astonished
my girlfriend and I were with the amount of knowledge and skill that one of
your consultants taught us last weekend. Both of us signed up for the
Florida CCW course conducted by B. When we signed up for the course
we were just expecting to be taught the very basics of how a gun works and
maybe do a little target practice with something along the lines of a BB
gun. We definitely were not expecting to receive the amount of tactical
know how as well as the personal unarmed self-defense knowledge that B
taught us. And because of the amount of time we spent with him we were able
to actually get to know Bill as a person and not just as an instructor.

We walked away not only knowing how a gun works but knowing, that if in the
situation, how to protect ourselves using nothing but our bare hands and our
mind. He also gave us more options than just guns to use to protect us,
some of which we would never of thought of. Like just a regular ball point
pen to keep on our person at all times, especially when no other line of
protection is available.

At the range he taught us how to effectively draw from a number of concealed
positions, not just from standing and facing the target like what most
standard courses teach. And we didn't just shoot from a position once, he
made certain that we felt comfortable in that position before we moved on to
the next one.

Summing up, we wanted to just thank you and B for the expertise, tactical
advantage, and the confidence in self-defense you taught to both of us. The
detailed "classroom" portion to the one on one field/range portion combined
with the relaxed and laid back feel overall, made this course second to
none. And I wouldn't hesitate one second to recommend Bill to anyone
wanting to take a course like this. You have one great instructor working
for you! Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
A. D. & G. A.

V and I enjoyed your personalized training. We learned a lot! You gave us
an "awareness" of potential threats we hadn't considered. This could prove
to be very valuable to us someday. I especially appreciated how you handled
our "beginner" status. You were very patient with us, and truly tailored
your class to our needs. We never felt intimidated and were very
comfortable with you.

Your take on self defense and various scenarios were enlightening and gave
us a better understanding of the laws and their practical every-day
application. You made the firing range experience comfortable as well. We
both left feeling we would pursue continued range experience to increase our
skill level. I will wholeheartedly recommend your personalized training to
my friends.

Thank you for the links, and be safe in M!!

Mr D.R.

Hi A,

I not only enjoyed it, I learned a lot as well. Now it's entirely at to me
to practice, practice and practice. I appreciate your time and knowledge.
Thanks for the links/info. I will joining you your other class in the very
near future, again thanks and be safe out there.

E.Q.
Tactical handgun class / Florida CCW class in South Florida, US

I wanted to take this time and drop you a line about B, your Central Fla.
training person. As you may be aware I registered for the CCW / Tactical
pistol course back in April. I must say, it was a breeze to pay for and know
which course I needed(wanted) to take. E-mail communication was great, I was
kept informed at all times as to when and were training could take place. I
scheduled a May 6th training date with B. Once the date was confirmed B
provided me a map and information to the training site and a starting time.

B arrived promptly at the arranged time/location and was ready to go. After
a brief introduction we headed off to the classroom portion of the training.
B was professional in his presentation of the written material. He stopped
often and asked if I had any question. B brought a nice selection of
handguns for review, discussion and live fire training. His knowledge of
unarmed defense was also very impressive. I very much enjoyed the unarmed
aspect of class. It was refreshing to learn some very simple steps for
unarmed defense. I now carry a pen along with my other "Less Then Lethal"
items.

After the classroom training wrapped up we headed to the range for live fire
training. This I have to say was my most favorite part of course! B
explained each step clearly and asked if I had any questions. B explained
why and what the goal of each step was and
imparted some of his real world experience to it.

My overall experience with B and Risks Inc. was extremely positive and will
continue to grow. I will also recommend Risks Inc. to anyone that
wants/needs firearm training.

Thank you,

Mr C.M.
Tactical handgun class / Florida concealed weapons permit class

A,

I *think* that technically you actually did teach our course during this
hurricane! I left the range and narrowly dodged a 4' sheet of plywood,
lost/regained my hat and realised that, perhaps, the storm had come more
quickly than at first estimated. It came ashore between Hallandale & Miami
Beach, and I drove through it to get home. An interesting end to a great
day!

I enjoyed the course thoroughly and learned much more about defensive issues
than simply handling a pistol. The course was interesting and fun your
experience in the field added valuable insights. It was good to get the
real-life perspective of someone with military training.

I would definitely be interested in future courses as available and in
workshops. Please keep me informed. Once we get power restored I look
forward to reading your manual - in the meantime I'll set to cleaning this
gun! No doubt I would still be written up if in the British Army. Would
"But Sir I did it all in the dark" be an acceptable excuse? Probably not...

Keep in touch A! Let me know what else is coming up, and again, thank you
for a great course - those drills were great at the end too!

Cheers,
I

A:

I just want to thank you for Sunday's class, it was awesome!!! Your advice
of keep it simple it's still with me, and I really appreciate your patience
with my poor shooting skills.

It's amazing how fast I learned before anything the safety issues about
guns, and how I'm able to put apart and put together again my Browning (yes,
Andy, I cleaned it! :).Your manuals are terrific!!!!!!!

I'm just looking forward to go back to the range, and.....PRACTICE,
PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!!!!!!!! Thanks again for your class, A, and I would
certainly recommend your services to anybody, expert or novice, that want to
learn or practice in a relaxed enviroment with a real pro. I hope I can take
more advanced classes with you in the near future.

Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how much I enjoyed taking
the Firearms training with B yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to
continue training and advancing my skills!! He was a very, very, good
Teacher! He tought someone like me!! I had never even held a Handgun before
I met him, and now I have found a new Passion!! And, I actually hit the
Target!! (not B!) Anyway, hope you guys continue to teach and looking
forward to my next course!! PLC.....one very satisfied Customer,

I could have taken any executive protection course that is available on the
market today.I also received material that was above and beyond normal
curriculum.I also felt that A gave an excellent depiction of practical
knowledge based on real world experience. I would recommend this course to
anybody that is seeking to be in this industry and I look forward to taking
additional classes in the future. As they have stated at Risks Inc. If you
are not training with us your not training.

Hi B,

I wanted to thank you for coming. I'm sorry we didn't have a bigger turn out
but I really got a lot out of it. The pen thing just blew my mind. I came to
work today looking at every pen I had. My daughter was so excited to go home
and go over a couple of techniques. She really get's into things like that..
I could have stayed there all day it was so interesting. Although I did
leave a little paranoid I fell asleep and thought I heard someone walking on
my roof. I know that sounds silly because I don't have a chimney so why
would they get on the roof. Anyway it was really funny because I called my
mom that lives two apartments down and she came out in her pajama's and here
are two women looking on top of the roof at midnight. And al the sudden I
realize we are standing outside in the middle of the night with the door
wide open. I might as well have been wearing a sign that said come get me I'
m waiting.. Anyway definitely left With a lot more knowledge than what I came with.
So thank you very much.

Mr. Wilson,

I took my CCW course with B in Titusville, FL this past weekend, and just
wanted to let you know that it was one of the best experiences I have ever
had. Mr. B is an excellent teacher, very professional. He made the course
interesting and I learned so much in both the classroom time and at the
range. I will definitely be referring Risks, Inc. and Mr. B to friends and
family interested in the course. Thanks again,

Ms J.A.

I would like to compliment B on a very professional job. He made the
material easy to understand. The presentation was professional but at the
same time with humor, and I am planning to take another class from B in the
near future.

Hello A,

I wish to inform you that we have arrived safely back to Munich. I would
use this opportunity to thank you for your effort to get me specialise in
Security. I was please with the training personally but, most effort should
come from me.

Surely we shall come back next year.

Thanks so much

I really did enjoy the class. Before the class, my knowledge of guns was
about as much as I know about surgery. I was nervous at first, but by the
end of the class I felt much more comfortable handling a gun, as well as,
being around them. Thanks for the links.

We both had an outstanding day and wanted to thank you very much for
spending so much time with us. We didn't realize how late is was when we
stepped out of the range.

We will let you know how we progress and when we are ready for the next
stage :)

Hi A,

I wanted to take a moment to tell you about my experience with the
instructor you set me up with this weekend. Mr. B is an excellent
instructor. He is very knowledgeable in his field and is able to pass on
this information with great ease. There were no questions he could not
answer and all of his answers were very comprehensive. Even when I did not
understand an aspect of what we discussed he was able to explain it
thoroughly as well as provide examples to help understand the material.

He was also an excellent instructor when it came to the physical aspects of
handling the weapon and the different type of shooting techniques. When I
was doing something wrong he was able determine what I was doing incorrect
and show me how to correct it. I am confident that I not only have a good
understanding of the laws with regard to CCW and use of force, but the
skills necessary to effectively carry and use my weapon. More importantly he
taught me how to possibly diffuse a situation and not have to use the weapon
at all.

I just wanted to say thank you for referring me to him and if I decide to
undergo future training, I'd like to have him as an instructor if he is
available. I believe Mr. B is an great asset to Risk, Inc.


Regards,

Mr J.S.

I am back in cold Germany: 7 degrees.... My flyt to London was 2 hours
shorter.... 7 hours. Your course was great!, a lot of new stuff ( e.g.
ambushes,shooting techn.,counter surveillance etc.) I think such a course is
a "fresh up"+ brings a lot of new motivation ...

Thank you!!!

Hi Andy,

E and I enjoyed the class and the shooting instruction was very good. I've
been shooting pistols for 15 years but definently improved my accuracy and
speed getting shots on target with your instruction.

Thanks,

M
Tactical pistol class / Florida concealed weapons permit class, South Florida, US.

Hi mate,

The shotgunning exercise really did define my limits with these excellent
defensive weapons. I am presently re-thinking my entire approach to using
shotguns, and my view is that a repeated on-target volley is superior to a
single shot Howitzer approach. This is the same thinking that took me away
from the 7.62 mm to the .223, with excellent results. I no longer have any
need for a 7.62, but I do believe I need to look into what is now called
"reduced recoil" shotshell loads. I used to load my own shotshells, but
that becomes difficult unless one is a clay-shooter on a regular basis.

Also, great that you noted the light-hits on the handgun. Two strikes and
it's out in my game. Last night was the first time I had any trouble with
this Walther on the detonation of good loads, and I know how to correct it.
I also noted there were no misfeeds, jams or other problems. Walthers are
prima donnas but seem to be the right model for me.

Thanks again, will be in touch soon.

Dear A,

Thanks for the class, you did a great job presenting real life situations
and how to handle them. You brought great clarity to selecting firearms and
ammo, shooting technique, stances, drills, and as I said before dealing with
the real world situations. I am going to continue to practice the shooting
and contact you about the handgun combat class, as well as a few others.

Thanks again,

This past weekend I took the defensive handgun training course with B. I was
extremely pleased with this course and with the way B presented everything.
Have had little to no prior experience with hand guns, I feel like I
received a great education in both the safety and legal aspects as well as
the actual real-life use of a hand gun as a defensive
weapon. As I recall reading somewhere on your Website, you claim to present
this course in a non-intimidating manor. B did exactly that. My thanks to
you and B for offering this course and sharing your abilities to benefit
someone like myself.

Thanks again!

Hey, A.

I just got back late last night from Florida. The training I received was

Hopefully I'll get to train some more with Risks Inc. in the near future.
In the mean time, take care and I'll keep in touch.

Dear A:

Yesterday's instruction was professional, informative and fun. I enjoyed
distance-shooting the .357 in single-action; the .38 was very difficult to
aim at 20+ yards but very useful for closer (2-15 yards) quarters. The
Ruger 9mm was my favorite overall, though.
What would you recommend for further training on a 9mm-type semi-auto? I
would like to rent the Beretta 92 model at the range.

Best,

The class definitely made sense. I came home and told my father all about
it. I have decided to get the CCW license after all. I think that I may
need more training. What do you suggest?

Thanks for everything,

Hello A:

I appreciate your assistance with the CCW class. Everyone enjoyed and
learned alot from your instruction. I may be able to get another group
together for you in short order. I will advise as soon as I confirm people's
interests in the classes.

As mentioned, I would like to have the group continue their training. Please
let me know what would be our group rate on your upcoming classes: Tactical
Low Light Shooting and Engaging Moving Targets.

Also, I want to work with you on an outline for ongoing training throughout
the next year. It is our plan to place emphasis on building our skills in
all or most of the security areas that you provide.

Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best Wishes,

R
Florida concealed weapons permit class, South Florida, US

I wanted to take this time to thank you and B for the service that you are
providing thru Risk Mang. Inc. D and I had a great time. We found the class
fun and very informative. B was very thorough and covered each topic as
clearly and simplistically as I could have hoped for. It was easy to see
that he is an expert on the subject matter. B covered each topic from both
angles, an expatriate working in a hostile environment and an active women
living and working in America.

I will be returning to Iraq more aware my surroundings and more confident
in my abilities to get out of a situation before they even start. That is
the key, to avoid becoming a target altogether. Another concern that was put
to rest was my wife D's safety while I am away. I would recommend your
services to any individual and couple going overseas or wanting to become
more safety conscious here at home.

Respectfully

Thanks for a great learning expirience. I have been shooting for over 15
years and have attended several training sessions during that time and I
must honestly say that today's learning expirience was absolutly excellent.
Even though it was a basic firearms course, I learned new tips that will
only help me improve my shooting.

My wife, being a novice was very pleased with the course and as a result is
actually looking forward to improving her shooting skills. The course
actually also helped her in choosing the gun that is right for her. In the
next couple of weeks, we are going to purchase her gun and visit the gun
range on a regular basis in order to practice what we have learned.

Regarding the tactical shooting classes, we have both decided to participate
in the low light shooting workshop after she has fired plenty of rounds and
feels very comfortable handling/shooting her firearm.

Please send me couples pricing for this workshop and don't forget to send me
the 3MB video clip you promised.

We will be in talks real soon.

Thanks again for a great learning expirience.

Hi A,

The class was great and worth every cent!! I you ever need a referral, I
would be glad to give a very positive testimonial.

By the way, I gave that gun a good cleaning today. I'm pretty sure I am
going to buy it. I'll just see if he'll take a little less for it. And,
I'll practice more at a range in a couple of days (as soon as my left thumb
stops throbbing.)

Thanks again!

Hi A,

W and I had a great time. Wendy was a little nervous at the beginning but
think she settled pretty well by the end of the day.

Thank you so much for providing such quality training. I know we ask a lot
of questions, but we really wanted them answered by an expert in the field.
You shared a lot of information with us today and it's going to take a while
for us/me to digest it. I am going to chew on it....a little bit at a time.

I would like to do some additional target practice (@ 1 hour) under your
supervision. Please let me know how much it would cost. After that, I
might feel better practising on my own.

Be well. Talk to you soon.

Kindly,

Hello A,

I am very surprised that my hand is not sore. What surprised me the most
however, was the fact that once I left the shop I was so nervous and kind of
shaky. Funny that I got nervous after the day was done.

Again, thank you for an enjoyable and rewarding lesson and demonstration. I
certainly am going to try and practice at least once a month. I can see how
people get the bug for guns. I never thought that a guns appearance could
be thought provoking. The Glocks in the carrying cases were so inviting,
like looking at a pair of shoes. Who knows maybe on day I will try a
semiautomatic. I know it will take a lot of practice working the slide.

Thank you for everything and I will keep in touch.

Tactical handgun class / Florida concealed weapons permit class, South Florida, US

Hi - I just wanted to give you some feedback on the Tactical Firearms Course
for the Florida Concealed Weapons Permit I took this week with Bi in
Titusville. I cannot possibly express how impressed I was with this course,
the instructor or the incredible simple and practical drills which in one
day gave me the confidence to own, maintain, and effectively use if
necessary, a firearm.

As I stated in my original email, I have a very complex relationship to this
subject, having rejected a very intense youthful experience with violence
and firearms, and having pretty much avoided involvement for many years. I
do not think I would have embarked on any other option here except this
course taught by this instructor. In particular, the drills in the firing
range were incredibly effective and getting me comfortable and capable in a
very short amount of time. The simulation of real life situations and
practical tactics was invaluable. This course, if I do purchase and carry a
firearm, and ever have to use it, will certainly save my life. The myriad of
errors I could make in a real life defensive situtation were all anticipated
in these drills.

This course was devoid of what I would consider any possible negative
cultural attachments. It was devoid of ego and posturing. The instructor
made me completely comfortable despite my general inclination towards
pacifism and peaceful resolution. In fact, he emphasized the fact that this
option was always preferable to using a firearm.

Unfortunately, I had so much negative experiences with weapons in my youth,
I have raised my sons relatively in a vacuum on the subject. I fully intend
at my earliest convenience to have both of them come out to Florida and take
this course. I cannot recommend this course or it's instructor highly
enough.

The only shortcoming in this experience was the instrucgtor's inability to
actually secure from Burger King the Triple Whopper I ordered, forcing me to
get by on a fried chicken sandwich. Which just goes to show you how
difficult the real world can be even for the most highly armed and trained
individual.

Best regards,

V

Hey, B I wanted to say that I enjoyed your course and I feel that I have a
much better understanding of the use of force, with and without a firearm.
I Know the problems I was having will be solved when I have a gun and method
to carry, that I am very comfortable with. I am sure that speed will come
with more practice.

We spoke briefly about other training courses Risk Inc offers here and
abroad. I think courses would be a very interesting and unique learning
experience, even though I may never be able to pursue a career in such
fields. Which courses would you suggest for me. I was telling my friend
John about the firearms training, I showed him the Risk Inc website. He
was very interested in your wilderness survival course, we hope to take the
wilderness survival course sometime in the future. Thanks again for all the
knowledge you have given me.

Good morning mate,

The class was did make sense, and your training was extremely helpful. All
the positions you made me do, my legs still hurt very much (2 days later). I
am looking forward to a more advance training in the future. For now I will
go to the range and practice (may be we will see each other there) once I
feel more comfortable shooting I will let you know.

Cheers,

The Close Protection and Security Specialist course was outstanding. As an
antiterrorism instructor who is constantly teaching as well as learning
himself, it was extremely refreshing to attend quality training taught by a
professional with real world operational experience. The exercises were
great and the training was an eye opener. I highly recommend this course and
will be back to train again at the first available opportunity.

Cheers,

Mr. A,

I have received your package and it is more than I expected. I greatly
appreciate your assistance with the training of my Marines and the clips put
what my Marines are going to encounter into perspective. Thank you again
for you assistance.

Hi A,

It was really good, the two ########## geezers made sure I got everything I
wanted from them using the AK74M, I expected a 47 but that was a real bonus,
I don't know if you've used one but I think it's shit hot.... speaking of
hot if you do use one put a glove on your left hand 'cos I've got some nice
blisters from it!! :-)) I couldn't see the target so well at the end from
the heat haze coming off it (300 rounds)

#### was a really nice guy & a good instructor, he showed me a lot & put a
bit of "stress" into the exercises, getting me to do all of the stances over
& over 'till I got it right. I only missed once (single left hand) so he was
happy enough with my accuracy.

All in all, absolutely no complaints, wish I could meet the Russian
pickpocket that nailed my phone though!! bleeder did me on the way home from
the pub & I never noticed a thing 'till I got to the hotel, such is life :-)

Thanks once again for everything & if I ever need to fly a Mig or drive a
Russian tank I'll be in contact.

All the best

Thanks for the training. It was more intense this time, however I benefited
a lot from it. My new company name is "SECURE SERVICES INC." We are just
finalizing the company formation. Hope to be fully operational for the new
year.

Just a quick note about the course. Flew back to the UK today and have to
say it was excellent. I'm hoping to come back around March/April next year
to do some other bits and pieces and will in the meantime tell my friends
how useful I thought the shooting was; the only bit I can comment on as it's
the only part I've done. Can also say that ###### and all the staff I met
were helpful and interested in how I found it.

I have come across several male chauvinistic pigs who thought that it was no
place for a woman to train as a close protection officer..until I contacted
Risks Inc.

D, you were a great instructor. It was intense work for a short period of
time, but well organised and delivered.

Thanks for everything and hope to stay in touch.

About the training, what I found most remarkable is its practical nature:
it's not tedious at all and everything is taught with a hands-on approach,
on the field, not a classroom. All in all, it's hard to find it better.
Thanks for everything, D and A, and I hope to see you soon.

I have just successfully completed your 4 day close protection course in
London. It was a great experience, and has made me have a totally new
outlook in the world of close protection and I considered myself
experienced. The 4 days were packed with lots of new stuff that I never even
considered before and the unarmed combat really was devastating beyond
belief. If you are new to the world of close protection or experienced I
would wholly and without reservation recommend this course to anyone. Please
thank D for his expertise, and his style of teaching was top class.

Many Thanks again

This course is an extremely valuable introduction into the world of close
protection industry. The four days were filled with enthusiasm complimented
by Darren's gregarious nature and 1st class technical know how. Everything
that I learned has applied perfectly in my new job as a close protection
officer in London. The specialist course manual provided has become an
invaluable reference from which information gained has been used to full
effect in both my work and home life environments.

Thanks again

D
Specialist close protection and bodyguard training course in Europe

Yes the classes were great. You are an exceptionally good teacher and we all
had a very good time and learned a lot. I was impressed that you kept with
the basics and maintained a common sense approach. I have run across so many
instructors that get caught up in theory that has no practical application.
It's been 2 decades since I trained seriously but it was with some of the
best so I still know bullshit when I hear it. Now we have a nice set of
drills to practice which are useful, fun and safe. Hopefully none of us will
ever need to use the skills to defend ourselves but it's a nice feeling to
know we will be able to effectively if needed thanks to you. I am going to
recommend you to anyone who ever desires real professional weapons training
and will arrange from time to time to train some more with you myself. I am
looking forward to the taking the Executive Protection course in July. K has
decided he wants to take it also. I will know if there are any more to
attend by early next week and will finalize with you then. Again, thank you
for a great learning experience and a fun time.

I received the manual today-- very professionally put together. At a glance
it is precisely the information needed, written from experience. The cash
price is too low. I feel the content is invaluable. What a dilemma, eh?

I look forward to the future; should I ever need further assistance I feel
privileged that I already know whom to ask.

Regards,

I thoroughly enjoyed the class and plan to take further classes with you in
the future. Your knowledge and time were made enjoyable by your methods. I
believe I have selected the gun for me...a Lady Smith, 9mm, by Smith and
Wesson. Let me know what you think. I've asked B to order one and I'll have
to go in tomorrow and fill out the paperwork on it then back in a week to
pick it up.

Thanks for all your advice and diligent training. I look forward to seeing
you again in the near future!

This reference letter is to personally comment on the Close Protection and
Specialist Security Training course that I trained in May of 2004 developed
by Risks Incorporated.

Instructor A has compiled the essential areas in security that are necessary
to learn in order to be an effective security operative . Wilson
demonstrated through the entire 4 day course professionalism, creativity,
enthusiasm and a high level of expertise in the close protection and
security field. The course was put together that utilized both the field and
classroom training that put the students in challenging positions to sharpen
their resourcefulness. I am very satisfied with the knowledge and experience
obtained from this course and plan to return to Miami, Florida in the near
future and work with Wilson again to further my knowledge on customized
courses that he has agreed to put together for me.

Just a brief note regarding the close protection course that I recently
completed with Darren this is no doubt the best course I have ever done . I
learned so much in the four days

Yours

Specialist close protection and bodyguard training course in Europe

Just a brief note regarding the close protection course that I recently comp
leted with D. This is without doubt the best course I have ever done. I
learned so much in the four days that if someone had told me I would have
never believed them. This is real world training not sitting in a stuffy
classroom with the information whizzing over your head, but on the street
learning in the surroundings where you are going to work. my legs were
aching everyday but the input steadily coming in from Darren overrode this
and I never thought about it until the end of the day.

This is far superior to any course that I have done and that includes ones
in the military. I shall be recommending this course to all my contacts this
really is a MUST DO ! course. Please thank D and look forward to attending
more courses in the future.

Yours Sincerely

"I found the course both enlightening and confidence building. The
instruction was very bespoke and many aspects of it related directly to my
current employment as a chauffeur. I have come away from the course having
built on my previous experience within the police and private service.

The training was not at all egotistical or gung ho and gave me real
solutions to everyday problems. This is real world training that knows the
limits of the law and private close protection work and demonstrates
practical solutions. I would have no hesitation in recommending Risks
Incorporated to either colleagues or employers past and present."

I want to take the opportunity by means of this letter to express my sincere
appreciation for your professionalism and expertise in the delivery and
hands on instruction with regard to my counter-terrorism and close combat
training.

In what seemed a very short four days, you increased my personal awareness
of world threats by a multitude of ten. Your personalized instruction will
play an important role in my family's security during our upcoming travel
plans. Your focused an no nonsense style of training has peaked my interest
and resolve to better prepare myself both physically and intellectually for
life's unforeseen circumstances.

I realize that a small note of thank you is a poor exchange for your
diligent work and training on my behalf. In all honesty, those four days
might very well save not only my life one day but the lives of those I love
and interact with in my travels.

I will now always consider you a friend who took a real interest in both my
work and safety.

With My Sincere Best Wishes,

We thought the class added a lot of value and was very educational. In
general, we wanted to highlight the following:

  • We enjoyed your teaching style as you allowed for us (students) to ask many questions.
  • The section of the gun laws was well-presented.
  • Your insight into specific "case studies" was appreciated
  • You made the defensive tactics simple to learn.
  • Your emphasis on accuracy of shooting versus caliber size was an eye opener and a valuable lesson learned.
  • Your open approach helped my wife as a first time, hand gun user to continue learning more

If you need something more formal, then please let me know. If someone needs
to speak with me or my wife, then please feel free to give them my number as
I would be happy to act as a reference.

I think you'll have much success in your business!

I really enjoyed the classes. I guess we were very fortunate to have so much
personal attention. Besides the training I had a good time, talking and
joking. Man, I survived a Brit and a Kiwi without any help!! Just
kidding....

I recommend your course because is a straight to the point training, no
fantasies involved. Your approach on simplicity and aggressiveness opened my
eyes on what a real life-threatening encounter was, and how to deal with it.
I mean one thing is to punch somebody out and another thing is to shoot
somebody, I know you get my point. I like to thank you for being extremely
honest regarding the true facts of this job. As I come from a different line
of job, I can tell you that I gained knowledge and most of all confidence
and motivation enough to start working in CP world.

My goal is to learn by applying what we just saw, and I also look forward to
continue training with you.

Thanks for all,

I really enjoyed the class. I'd say I had minimal firearms experience
before the class, but afterwards I felt plenty comfortable enough both
handling and shooting a firearm. I liked the personal one-on-one attention
I got as it helped me pick up core concepts quickly, and allowed a forum for
me to ask as many questions as I wanted to.

I also greatly enjoyed the defensive tactics and strategies. Besides stuff
related to handguns, I thought it was really helpful how you talked about
just general awareness of one's surroundings. I've noticed I'm much more
aware of what's around me now. In general, I feel like I picked up so much
from just a simple 4 hour class, and it gave me a great start on the basics
of self defense.

I'd highly recommend your class to anyone. In fact, I plan to have my
girlfriend take the same class soon! If you ever need a personal
recommendation, feel free to have a potential client e-mail, or call me.

Oh...regarding my feedback...I'd like to add that in my opinion, your class
is a TREMENDOUS value at $125!! I also appreciate the real world, no
bullshit approach to your teaching. You teach what works, throw away what
doesn't. I liked that a lot.

I hope you have much success here in the states!

As I mentioned I have not had a firearm or gone shooting in 15 years and
therefore I am extremely rusty. I really do appreciate the enormous amount
of time and patience you have had in advising what type of gun to purchase
(which will be much better than what I had in the past), as well as all of
the enormously informative written material. I look forward to taking
lessons as I am sure I will become extremely versed.

Sincerely,

Ms R (Florida)

I really want to thank you for the Defensive Handgun Training and the Combat
Handgun Training, I really enjoyed very much and I found them so
interesting, practical, easy to follow and at a very affordable price. I
look forward to take more of your courses in the future.

Thank you for your professionalism, you are a very nice person to work with.
Thanks also for providing me with the necessary equipment and manuals for
the course. I will give you a call when I come back to the country to keep
training.
Keep in touch.

"Just a quick note to let you know that I really enjoyed the pistol course.
I found your approach very interesting, and more importantly, I did not feel
at all patronized because I was a woman; unfortunately, some instructors I
have encountered treated me as if I was a child. Regarding the course
content itself, I realize now that what I was taught at the conceal carry
class at ***************** could have gotten me killed- I really find this
disturbing. I totally understand what you mean by gun store commandos!!
I look forward to training with you again."

"Where do I start mate, The course was the best most professional run course
ever. B, E and the other people involved made me and John (scouse) feel so
welcome. E was totally outstanding in both his command of the English
language and also in his abilities to teach. this course was professional
from start to end, I have attempted to call you personally on your mobile
today to thank you but not sure if I have the right number. I will be going
back to hopefully complete there CP course at some stage (when I get a job)
that is. I have also been given some leaflets from B to hand to other
interested parties if that is ok also with yourself A?? Excellent Time also
had in Latvia cheap & Good. as I say mate will most certainly be returning.
also looking to conquer the states at some stage as well, hopefully meet up
with you."

updated my military experience into everyday practice in just one afternoon
and for an absolutely affordable (low) price as well. Last is maybe a bad
message to send to Andy, but that's the fact seen in the light of his
experience and what he deliver of value in return. Further A has a good,
instructive and easy way to handle students. On top of that his supplied
