The 1st annual WATER AND STEEL EAST 2009 will be hosting Kelly S. Worden, Natural Spirit International, on January 9-10 11th 2009 in Virginia Beach, Va.
As a keynote instructor Kelly S. Worden is an amazing instructor that brings out the best in every attendee. His personal approach to crossing hands with every participant makes his events life changing experiences. He actually guarantees it, possibly the only seminar instructor who offers his “Money back Guarantee!”
In his words, “If I can’t improve your skill sets or defensive efficiency I’ll give you your money back, no shit!” Who else offers that guarantee?
Well, right now that seems like a pretty special opportunity, check this added bonus out…
Ever heard of Gary O’Neal? Gary spent 33 years of service in the U.S. Army which included Special Forces, Army Rangers, First Aviation Brigade, and First Field Force. Gary O’Neal led missions in Special Reconnaissance, P.O.W. Rescue, Flight Operations, and many other Classified Operations Worldwide. Although he would never say it, in truth, “Gary O’Neal is a true Military Legend!”
At the request of Kelly S. Worden, Gary O’Neal will be attending Water and Steel East 2009 and also sharing an in-depth Historical Military and Lifestyle Lecture Saturday Evening!
This alone is a once in a lifetime opportunity to hear personal accounts of Gary’s life and his association with the late Michael Echanis.
So I am thinking it is a good idea to reserve your spot on the training floor and experience this dynamically unique seminar opportunity!
Kelly and Gary met years ago at the Soldier of Fortune Convention in Las Vegas Nevada and have maintained a close personal relationship all those years. To learn more about Gary O’Neal check out his website @

Kelly S. Worden's background is quite diverse with 35+ years of Boxing, Modern Arnis Kickboxing, JKD, Non Classical Gung Fu, Sombo, Small Circle JuJitsu, these systems and others form the basis into his own teaching curriculum and method called Natural Spirit International (NSI). Simply put, NSI has been Americanized for realistic function and practical use.
Kelly S. Worden's “WORTAC CQD” Close Quarter Defense Program has been extremely well received through the U.S. Army 1st. Special Forces at Ft. Lewis Washington. Other programs include the USAF 62nd Combat Controllers at McCord AFB under the guidance of Col. Michael Vrosh, and countless seminars throughout North America. Worden’s “WORTAC CQD” Close Quarter Defense Program is currently being implemented into the Saskatchewan Police College in Regina, Saskatchewan Canada.
The “WORTAC CQD” Close Quarter Defense Program Kelly S. Worden instructs covers Stick or ASP Baton, Short Staff, Knife, Machete, Improvised weapons, Trapping, Throws, Locks, Non-lethal control, Counter-Grappling, and Kickboxing strategies.
Retired U.S. Army Sergeant Major Lawrence Jordan, was selected by former U.S. Army Special Forces Commanding General Frank Toney Jr. to evaluate the vast majority of Special Forces units on their existing CQC programs, Worden's name was at the top of the list.
The “WORTAC CQD” Close Quarter Defense Program also employs a self defense tool Kelly Worden designed years ago called the Impact Kerambit and is now produced in an even more covert model the Travel Wrench and more recently the Saf-T-Wrench.
Kelly’s instructional material he will be sharing at Water and Steel East 2009 embraces concepts of cross referencing skill development from improvised impact weapons into knife and empty hand tactics. The “WORTAC CQD” Close Quarter Defense method guides individuals into the realm of “Self- Realization” to implement almost any object into a weapon for self protection, escalating or de-escalate the level of force needed depending on the situation. This is a life saving system not a life taking system!
The “WORTAC CQD” Close Quarter Defense Program you will learn breaks down the cultural barriers of different arts into a curriculum that is amazingly direct, quick, and easy to assimilate. You can expect the seminar to include close quarter striking and blade work, controls, locks, throws, kicking, foot trapping, positional control through re-directional manipulation etc. Tactics that connect the principles into offensive, defensive, evasion, distance and positional control as it relates to individual or multiple attacker strategies.
Kelly S. Worden's teaching method develops and compliments each individuals personal attributes, it is High Speed Refinement at it’s very best!
He is a worldwide recognized instructor, equipment innovator, radio talk show host, writer, and former weapon's editor for Full Contact and Fighting Knives magazines. Worden has produced over 25 internationally acclaimed instructional video programs and designed knives manufactured by Crawford Knives, Bud Nealy, Timberline, TOPS, Al Mar, and his latest model by Ontario Knife Company, the Special Forces Machete.
On a personal note directly from Kelly, "I pride myself on developing leaders and teachers not followers of a cultural style or agenda based strategy that dictates or advocates one method of training to be superior to another. It is the individual and not the style that distinguishes validity in martial combat and personal protection."
