And he overcame all of this to become a REAL-LIFE action hero. Find out in this special 2-part episode what makes Mike “tick” and why he’s literally the best man on the planet to help you survive and defend yourself in any life-or-death struggle.
“Every day people are assaulted, the ones who deal with that successfully were not trained… they were willing to resist the situation forced upon them.” -Mike Gillette
