I wish to reemphasize my disendorsement of James Yeager’s Tactical Response as a legitimate source of firearms training. I’ll admit to following his youtube channel for a while now. He is entertaining but swings wildly between Very Right and Very Wrong in such a way that I could neither unreservedly endorse or dismiss the guy [...]
So I guess it’s that time of year again where I pick on a bottom feeding “training” “school” for putting up a dumb video on Youtube. This time around it’s “360 Spartan Defense” and their “Javelin” system: Initially I assumed the worst with the grandiose title, tough guy guitar rock, drop-leg SERPA, and the instructor [...]
DCNC Handgun Retention Class review. These guys are the real deal, reasonably priced and genuinely dedicated to increasing the skills of all shooters. I have taken 4 classes with them and will again.
I recently ran across this short dissertation on mindset and OODA loops from a somewhat unusual source, and since you’re not reading anything here, I recommend you read it!
Remember that pistol class review I promised? You can read it at Gunup.com.
My childhood was practically narrated by The Muppet Show, Bill Cosby comedy tapes, and WRKP in Cincinnati. One of my favorite bits, and one my dad repeatedly pointed out to me, was this short scene where Venus Flytrap gives a young ne’er do well a lesson in physics: But the important part of the lesson [...]
I’ll have a more detailed review up later, but this past Friday I attended a Vickers Shooting Method class down in Salisbury with Defensive Concepts North Carolina. It was a tightly scheduled 8.5 hours that compared to an earlier class I attended, focused on fundamentals while glossing over some of the more add-on tactics. I [...]
So this weekend, Tam was kind enough to point us to a yootoob showing off the stunning martial feats of a bunch of disorganized clownshoes calling themselves American Defense Enterprises. The amount of fail and buffoonery in this single video could be blogfodder for weeks, but I’ll try and keep it short. Hopefully this will [...]
Having had several days to digest the class and what was learned, I keep coming back to a good question in comments: Why exactly would an ordinary slob like myself spend a significant amount of time, money, ammo, sweat and pain to learn a fighting discipline that he is highly unlikely to use? I always [...]
