Stationed in Germany, Cabrera's martial arts skills were drafted to develop and teach defensive tactics for the 95th MP Batallion. As a member of the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) group Cabrera was part of a team tasked with Counter-Terrorism operations and sent to various training courses with Germany's GSG-9, British Special Air Services (SAS) as well as the U.S. Army's Special Forces.

Upon leaving the Army, Cabrera returned to his home in Florida where he opened a martial arts school and taught martial arts in his community.
