FORGED TOGETHER
A Father & SON Tactical Experience
One day. Four stages. A bond that lasts a lifetime.
ABOUT THE EVENT
Forged Together is a full-day, one-of-a-kind tactical experience built exclusively for fathers and their sons. Under the direct instruction of Navy SEAL cadre, you and your son will move side by side through four high-intensity stages — long-range marksmanship, vehicle rollover and contact drills, land navigation and survival, and hands-on self-defense blending Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai. This is real training, run by the people who have actually done it, scaled so that any father-son team can take it on together.
The day opens with a performance mindset brief from Dr. Milt Lowder — a sport psychologist and AMPLOS consultant who has worked with Clemson University athletics — followed by a mission brief from your SEAL cadre. From the first minute, you and your son are treated as one team with one objective: finish every stage together.
This is not a spectator event and it is not a summer camp. You will work shoulder to shoulder under real pressure, communicate when it counts, and push through challenges side by side. What you walk away with — confidence, trust, and a shared experience you simply cannot get anywhere else — lasts long after the day is over
Age Requirement: This event is open to sons ages 13 and up. All participants under 18 must be accompanied by their father or a designated adult guardian for the full duration of the event.

Foundational self-defense combining Jiu Jitsu ground control and Muay Thai striking. Father-son pairs drill together — building physical confidence, mutual trust, and real-world skills.
