Kawa has 21+ on-going years in the military and Special Operations community in which he's had the privilege and honor to learn from and work with some of the best Tier 1 & 2 operators and instructors in the world. He's trained under several advanced skillset schools and agencies under the Department of Defense and with our foreign counterparts overseas.

Kawa's operational experience was gained from numerous combat and non-combat deployments around the world with emphasis in the Middle East. The real world experience that he's gained has helped him understand environmental threat analysis and risk & vulnerability assessment. Knowing your environment, understanding it's cultural parameters and being able to identify abnormal patterns of behavior or conduct is the key to survival and success. 

Kawa's instructor experience comes from his time at 5th Special Forces Group, teaching at the Special Forces Advanced Urban Combat (SFAUC) committee. At SFAUC, Kawa and the other cadre taught 40 Green Berets every 5 weeks. 2 weeks of high level, advanced shooting applications on the flat range and 2 weeks of CQB, mission planning and urban warfare. 

SFAUC is where Kawa honed in on his shooting, instruction and public speaking. Although Kawa loves teaching people how to shoot at a higher level, his passion is close quarters battle (CQB) and studying/teaching the methods of structural assessment, threat analysis and structural takedowns.
