(Sorry this is kinda long but I don't want to leave out details)
I got a call about 25 minutes ago from my girlfriend, both of us are into MMA for getting in shape and general fitness etc etc.
The full story of it all seems a little sketchy to say the least. She started talking to a security guard at a bank who said he worked for DHS in some regard and was training in various martial arts. He said he would be interesting in training us if we would like in forms of martial arts that are not taught in MMA (Weapons, Weapon retention/disarmament), he said his instructor was a Navy SEAL (ret.).
Apparently he had called him and he was close by (Just happened to be), and they all talked for about half an hour about what he could offer us in terms of training. He offered to train us in his basement which was setup if we were comfortable with it, but would not be opposed to training us where we felt comfortable (Which would be done at the Stevenson University campus here in Owings Mills MD). He also said he had trained an instructor affiliated with my gym (John Rallo for what its worth, apart of Ground Control). Edit: He offered to train us for 40$ an hour.
The man's name is Drew Gurk (Gurrk, Girk, the spelling im not sure about but its pronounced the way its spelled), resides nearby Owings Mills Maryland. Does anyone know of this person, deployed with him or any other way can verify him? Ill try and get a service number and dates ASAP.
