About the Instructor

My name is Charles-Michael, a second degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I grew up watching shows about survival: Man vs Wild with Bear Grylls, Survivor Man with Les Strout, Dual Survival with Dave Canterbury & Cody Lundin, Naked and Afraid. I've spent many years camping and refining my firebuilding techniques.

I've since developed the mentalities of self sufficiency and preparedness. "If you fail to prepare, prepare to fail". In a world built on dependency I want to teach what I've learned to not just survive but thrive when disaster strikes.
