Security Training

Jordan Harbinger's early foray into private security was marked by a unique blend of curiosity and opportunity. While working at a movie theater owned by a prominent figure, he encountered a private investigator who introduced him to the world of security and martial arts. In exchange for designing a website for a security company, Jordan received training in advanced martial arts techniques, learning skills from ex-military personnel that were not commonly taught at the time.

They were showing me stuff nobody was talking about that they had learned in the Israeli military.
