He also dedicates his time to working with military and law enforcement and has trained several close combat and MCMAP instructors from Parris Island as well as with local Fire and Police Departments. Abe's first focus for students is to make sure that they are equipped to defend themselves from any number of threats from one on one altercations, to physical or verbal bullying, to multiple attackers, and even from an opponent in a competition. Because of this he offers many free or low cost seminars for women's self defense, military and law enforcement martial arts seminars, and bully prevention courses for children that are the victim of bullying.
