00085 - RONIN, Tu Lam

00085 - Ronin, Tu Lam, the inspiration behind Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s newest Operator Ronin.  Tu Lam’s first steps were in conflict. The retired Green Beret, co-host of History Channel’s Forged in Fire: Knife or Death and founder of Ronin Tactics was born of war, in 1974 South Vietnam, before the Fall of Saigon. It was this tumultuous beginning that led Tu down the path of bushido, the way of the warrior. Tu grew up in Fayetteville, North Carolina, just outside Fort Bragg (home of U.S. Army special operations). Both his stepfather and his American uncle were Green Berets, and the path before him seemed obvious. Indoctrinated into a strict military upbringing from age eight, Tu joined the U.S. Army at 18 with his sights fixed on joining the ranks of the Green Berets. Tu had a passion for making a difference around the world, fighting for the defenseless abroad. During his 23-year career in the U.S. Army, Tu has served within some of the most elite units the U.S. has produced and has fought in many wars and conflicts, helping to free the oppressed and enslaved.As a ronin, Tu’s dedication is to help others find strength through total devotion to a set of moral principles. He helps them seek stillness of the mind and understanding of the deeper meaning of the way of the sword. Drawing from his experience in the special forces, Tu founded his company, Ronin Tactics, where he and other retired high-level veterans (none with fewer than 10 years of hard combat experience) teach a realistic, no-nonsense approach to training in hand-to-hand combat and aggressive shooting and weapons handling. The courses are available to both ordinary people and law enforcement personnel. Many SWAT teams take advantage of the high-level training.
