Gregg Woolridge is one of the nicest guys you'll
ever meet. Doesn't look threatening. Doesn't glower, doesn't go looking for
trouble, is pretty tight-lipped about past fights.
But he's well-known among the best. He grew up
in the tough streets of southside Chicago, and got so GOOD at ending fights
before they became brawls that he earned his first job… as a bouncer in a
rough bar… when he was just 18 years old.
He's near middle-age now… and has had a LOT of time to perfect what he
considers the most important skill you can have as a man: The ability to
instantly take out even multiple opponents…
While Protecting
The People Who
Rely On You.
It's not a simple thing, if you don't know what you're doing. Even people who
trust you will be confused by the adrenaline dump caused by a sudden threat,
won't hear or comprehend shouted instructions, and WILL make wrong moves that
could get them seriously hurt during a fight.
You can't turn from them to take care of business. That's a COMMON tactic
among kidnappers — they send one or two guys at you to distract you, while a
third comes up from behind and snatches the person they want.
She's gone, and you won't even realize it until you turn back around.
This "split attention" required to fight and protect at the same time is NOT
something you come across naturally. You must learn it. From a master.
That's why I consider this package so important.
Gregg literally blew my mind showing me these secrets. I've NEVER seen
anything like it before — real world skills that I can't BELIEVE I had
neglected to learn before.
But, of course, I couldn't have learned them before… because almost NO
teachers know how to teach them.
This is critical, unique stuff.
Gregg has an impressive "real" resume: Street cop for 11 years (in the worst
beats in gang-infested towns)… then moved into a more secret world, where
there were even LESS rules about how you fought.
He joined the most famous "executive protection" group in the world. Don't
call these guys "bodyguards"… they're much more than that.
He was hired to protect, at all costs, not just top executives of big
companies — the number one target of kidnappers — but also music and
performance stars. From all parts of the entertainment world.
Remember Biggie Smalls, the "gangsta rapper" who was in a famous feud with
other rappers? It was very recent, and got a lot of newspaper coverage… but
you're forgiven if the name doesn't ring a bell. He ran in a vicious crowd
that idolized waving guns and bling and money and drug connections.
Gregg was appalled that a man living that close to danger was so oblivious.
Gregg, as head of security, tried to convince him of the need to stop the
sloppy and irresponsible behavior…
And QUIT In Disgust
When His
Warnings Went Unheeded.
Less than 24 hours later, Smalls was murdered
by rival gang members. It rocked the music industry.
Smalls was surrounded by "guards", but he insisted on ignoring the very real
threat of his lifestyle.
For Gregg, this meant a Code Red sense of danger was needed. Most civilians
live in a "white" state of obliviousness. A "yellow" state means you at least
know when you're in a situation that requires some action — at least locking
the doors when you go to bed, for example. Or locking the car doors driving
through unfamiliar parts of town with your family.
A "red" state means you are actively watching your surroundings for signs of
danger. Say, if your car broke down in a bad neighborhood and you were
escorting your loved ones to safety. Or if you're searching for your car in a
movie parking lot, knowing there are bad elements around and lots of dark
hiding spaces.
A "black" state means, simply, that you have decided there IS a threat. It
doesn't have to be two guys with knives running at you. It can just be your
gut knowledge that something is SO wrong, you need to amp up your reaction.
Code Black means you TAKE DOWN anyone within reach.
Not counting your loved ones, of course.
If there are threats around, but not necessarily imminent, that's Code Red. At
LEAST have the awareness that something MIGHT happen.
But even people who earn a living being "dangerous"… like getting famous
because you sing and you're in a gang that hates and is hated by other gangs…
need to act accordingly.
It was a tough point to make, resigning. But Gregg had to do it — he knew the
current security situation was piss-poor and wouldn't stop ANYONE from gaining
access to Smalls. So he quit, in very vocal protest.
Tried to wake `em up.
Didn't work.
It doesn't work so well with other people, either. I know I had a similar
reaction when Gregg and I first talked. I mean, what's the big deal about
protecting people around me? I just kick ass, right?
Criminals are always a step ahead of the average
civilian. The criminal chooses when the fight happens, not you. He will
stalk you and your loved ones for blocks, or for weeks, waiting for the right
time. When your guard is down.
All they need are a few seconds. If you aren't "prepped" with this kind of
specialized training, it will take you MANY seconds to shake yourself awake…
and that's just…
Too Late.
This special training is NOT hard, as I said. I was simply astonished at how
easy it was to master. There are just a set of very cool moves that no one
else teaches.
Part of it is just mindset — getting your head together BEFORE anything
happens. That's half the battle… and you may even give off a "scent" of danger
yourself after learning these secrets.
When criminals catch a whiff of a man who knows what to do, they often go the
other way, fast. They're looking for easy pickings, not a brawl.
And this is most definitely NOT just hand-to-hand stuff. Gregg insisted on
sharing everything he knows about improvised weapons, too. In all my years of
dealing with Spec Op and streetfighters, I have NEVER seen most of these
secrets.
And there's ground fighting. Quick take-downs and certain take outs.
And also gun disarmament. I've seen the best in the biz at this… and Gregg is
clearly one of them. The fact he's also a great teacher just adds to the
importance of this package. Total
