Minnesota is the home base for VioDy.

Instructors (everything is subject to change without notice) include:

Kasey Keckeisen, one of the founders of VioDy, serious martial artists, SWAT leader/sniper and all around nice guy.

Terry Trahan, who personifies combat as weasel-craft. The thinking man's bad ass.

Dr. Tammy Yard-McCracken, lead instructor at Kore Krav Maga, head of Krav Maga Global's women's division and experienced trauma counselor.

Randy King, head instructor at KPC Self-defense, and experienced doorman. Also Canadian, so you know he'll be very polite.

And a former jail guard who wrote some books.

Former jail guard. And cowboy.

OG STATUS

VioDy is a seminar, but it is also a tribe. Returning students are called OGs, and they get special recognition and privileges. At this meeting of VioDy prime we intend to formalize the process a bit (we're all pretty good at what we do, but not necessarily what you might call organized.)

At the end of your first full VioDy you get your ODIN codename. (That's a Kasey thing, he's a comic book nerd.) At the end of your second, you get your ODIN card and are officially an OG. At the end of your third, well, some of you will find out in October.

OG privileges:

• A discount. E-mail me with your ODIN codename and dates you attended and I'll send you the discounted PayPal link.

• Breakout sessions and private lessons. We have extra instructors. Most of the time one or two will be available. If you've already attended a class and would ike to go deeper or do something else completely, as an OG you can request a free private lesson.

• As an OG, you have access to Day Zero.
