Violence Dynamics Prime 2016

Hey everybody!  It is that time of year again.  Pumpkin spice everything is back in stores.  Kids are picking out their Halloween costumes.  And....It is time to congregate in the greater Minnesota metropolitan area for arguably the best personal protection training seminar available.

OK I might be a little biased on that last part, but give me a break I am excited for Viody Prime!
I'm excited that we call it prime to differentiate between the different Violence Dynamics Seminars we held this year.

I am confident this will be the best Violence Dynamics yet.

I read an online forum last year.  Someone was considering coming to the seminar and posted a question asking if  anyone on the forum was familiar with the instructors, and if it was worth it.  One of the responses was something like -  their bios seem like they are trying too hard to be cool.

What?  Like Babe Ruth said it's not bragging if you back it up.

So this year Rory Miller wrote the bios..

VIODY PRIME, the first and original.

What happens? A bunch of pretty good instructors get together and give you a crash course on the violent world.

Rory Miller:
Former jail guard. Wrote some books.

Kasey Keckeisen:
Your host and MC.: Kasey is a multi-belted martial artist, SWAT member, sniper and training coordinator and a nerd.

Randy King:
Randy runs KPC Self-Defense in Edmonton, Alberta (that's in Canada).
Smart, personable, skilled and experienced.

Dillon Beyer:
Dillon's the kind of martial arts junkie who will eventually grow a beard and living on a mountain. Now he's just playing wandering monk. But for real. Because he's that kind of martial arts geek.

Myron Cossitt
Myron's my poster-boy for the transformative power of training. He'll help you be better, and without all the injuries the rest of us have.

"Nuff said

The Violence Dynamics seminar takes principles and concepts that usually take professional users of force years to comprehend and provides a common language for dealing with violence.
More than any other skills understanding how violence happens, how your body deals with violence, and how to articulate the force you used to others is of paramount importance.
Real violence happens faster and harder than most people's training takes into account.
If you want realistic training that answers the problems of today, then this is the seminar for you!

Here is the line up:
