Yesterday the world had ended and we had to learn to survive from Sam Sheridan, survival journalist, Daniella Kertesz, actress from "World War Z," and Mark Mikita, knife fight trainer.
Mikita held one-on-one demonstrations on how to deflect and decapitate a zombie quickly and with as little effort as possible because after that one is done with there are hundred, thousands, of millions right behind it.
A quick deflect and decapitation and on to the next one.
"Don't forget to stop and sharpen the blade once in awhile," Mikita said.
Video of some of the training with Mikita coming soon.
To help with training military advisors from Devil Dog Limited Joey Joe Farnsworth, served ten years in the Army and made the rank or sergeant, and Roberto Garcia, 10 months in the Marines, talked about training the cast of "World War Z" in military combat as well as the realism of the military positions in the film.

Garcia demonstrated the proper technique to move tactically. Then he allowed for an opportunity to train with an M-4 assault riffle.
The weight was heavier than expected but with little instruction I was able to move and react like a proper soldier.
World traveler and writer Sheridan gave one on one interviews where he shared his knowledge of being a prepper, someone prepared for the apocalypse. Video of his interview coming soon.
Kertesz was available for one-on-one interviews where she discussed her role in "World War Z" and what it was like on set. Video of her interview coming soon.
