About Six Sight

The System
Behind The Brand

Six Sight was built to close a gap that has existed for decades, between the perceptual skills operators spend years developing, and the people who need them most.

The Detail
That Changed
Everything

Six Sight didn't begin in a training room. It began on a close protection detail. He watched a high-net-worth family step off kerbs without looking, wave expensive possessions around in public, and move through crowded spaces completely unaware of who was around them.

They had every resource available to them. None of it substituted for the one thing they lacked: the ability to read the world they were moving through. That observation made something plain: wealth doesn't protect you. Awareness does. And almost nobody is building it.

"It didn't matter how much money they had. Without situational awareness, they were exposed. That's when I knew this system needed to exist for everyone."

Sonny
Smith

Founder, Six Sight · Close Protection Specialist · Surveillance Operator

Sonny Smith's career has been defined by a single discipline: operating effectively in environments where most people are at their most vulnerable. Beginning as a Royal Marines Commando before going on to serve with the British Special Boat Service (SBS) Reserve, and later moving into close protection for high-net-worth individuals and international celebrities, his work has always centred on one question: how do you move through a dangerous world without becoming a casualty of it?

His career spans elite military service, private close protection, corporate surveillance, and professional combat sport. Every chapter shaped a different layer of what would become the ESAS methodology.

[ Career ]
[ British Military ]
Royal Marines Commando
Sonny began his military career as a Royal Marines Commando, one of the most demanding infantry training programmes in the world. The discipline, physical resilience, and tactical thinking instilled here formed the bedrock of everything that followed.
[ Special Forces ]
SBS Reserve Operator
Going on to serve with the British Special Boat Service Reserve, the maritime special forces unit. The foundation of his operational mindset: composure under pressure, precise threat assessment, disciplined decision-making.
[ Private Security ]
Close Protection Specialist
Protecting high-net-worth individuals and public figures across multiple continents. The work that sharpened his understanding of environmental scanning and pre-incident recognition in real-world, non-permissive environments.
[ Corporate Intelligence ]
Covert Surveillance Operator
Operating at the intersection of corporate intelligence and surveillance tradecraft, the discipline that informs the detection and counter-surveillance modules at the core of ESAS methodology.
[ Combat Sport ]
BKFC Professional Boxer
Currently competing professionally in bare-knuckle boxing with the BKFC. A discipline that demands the same qualities that define his training philosophy: composure under pressure, precise threat assessment, and the discipline to act only when the moment demands it.

Six Sight is the direct output of that career. Not a theory developed in the classroom, but a system distilled from environments where awareness is the difference between walking away and not.

The Framework
[ The Framework ]

The ESAS
System

Every product Six Sight produces, from the the Man Protect book to corporate workshops, is built on the ESAS framework. Three stages. One continuous loop. The same cognitive architecture used by surveillance operators and close protection professionals, translated for real-world civilian use.

01
Perception
// See What Others Miss

The trained ability to observe your environment with disciplined accuracy. Signal from noise. Baseline from anomaly. Most people look without seeing. ESAS trains you to see what others miss.

02
Comprehension
// Turn Data Into Judgement

Rapid, calibrated threat assessment. What does this anomaly mean in context? Comprehension converts raw observation into situational intelligence, the bridge between awareness and decision.

03
Projection
// Act Before the Moment

The ability to model probable outcomes before they occur, and select the optimal decision point for action or withdrawal. Projection turns reactive people into proactive ones.

Built For
Two Worlds

Six Sight operates across two distinct environments. The principles are the same. The application is tailored.

Family in public environment
[ For Individuals & Families ]
The Man Who
Refuses To
Wait
// The Protector Mindset

Six Sight's personal training was built for the individual who understands that safety isn't something you outsource. The father who wants to know his family can walk through the world with him and not be exposed. The professional who travels. The person who has decided that awareness is a responsibility, not a luxury. For this person, ESAS isn't a product. It's a practice.

Corporate employee in field environment
[ For Organisations & HR Teams ]
The Organisation
That Takes
Duty Seriously
// ESAS Corporate Training

For the HR Director or Risk Manager who understands that a legal Duty of Care isn't fulfilled by a form. When your people operate in the field, in homes, clinics, high-crime areas, or international risk zones, their safety is your responsibility. Six Sight delivers certified ESAS training that meets that obligation with substance, not paperwork.

The Threat Doesn't
Wait. Neither
Should You.

Whether you're a father who wants to protect his family or an organisation with a legal obligation to protect its people. Your path starts here.
