The desire to help individuals and families learn the defensive skills to live a safe life began when Larry was in the hospital after being injured in Iraq. Larry had wanted to be a SEAL since he was 7 years old, so when the surgeon told him that he could no longer be a SEAL, he began to search for a new way to protect those around him.
