Great class, eye opener, after seeing symbols and understanding them I could definitely see I’ve missed stuff on basic patrol.

Really enjoyed the class. Although there is a lot of material regarding religion it helped clarify some of the commonly misinterpreted information that I have heard before.

This class was absolutely amazing!!! Victor is obviously an expert in this field and has a unique ability to share his insights and knowledge. All LE needs to attend this class to better understand this topic. A fire hose of information from the first minute. I know this will help me on the road.
