Decades of skills and knowledge in 6 days. “To the Hilt” is about depth. It’s a class designed for those unafraid of commitment to the craft, those seeking depth and substance in both understanding and performance of the skills framed by the curriculum. “To the Hilt” week is once a year class, limited to 10 participants. While not a requirement, we do recommend having attended “Escapeology” and “Shooter/Fighter Matrix” classes at the minimum prior, to maximize the benefits of “To the Hilt 2025” week. The class will be both physically and mentally demanding.
