Interested in training with Rory Miller?

I've mentioned Rory Miller here a few times, way more in real life.
He has been on a contract in the Middle East for the last year, and posted
that he is coming home.
He also posted that he is thinking about teaching, doing privates, and seminars.

    I'm posting this because I think it is a great thing to be doing.

    learn some of the best self protection skills ever.
