That was awesome. Where is this place located?
Oh,they took it down.I do not remember many of those moves from your class Shay..
I wasn't really thinking about all the spinning and acrobatics.
I guess I thought the point was going to be about shooters down range of one another during a drill. I wasn't really thinking about all the spinning and acrobatics.
Those who know me and what I've taught know I am a firm believer in 360 degree live fire training. But there's a lot more going on in this video than that.

You guys that are getting your panties in a bunch about this video must be a bunch of wussies.
What is your background and qualifications to be calling anyone a wussie? Maybe television watching?
At my "Range", there is a "company" of people that do "tactical training"... and with all the fliers, and pamphlets that they leave around the range, it doesn't take very long to notice it. One thing I noticed right away, is that one of the employees at the "Range" also wore the similar clothing of "company". I didn't think anything of it, and just focused on learning the specifics of the job. It turns out "she" is an instructor with the "company" on days when she's not working at the "range".
One day, I overheard her talking to a customer about the "company". She was bragging about stories of other people doing tactical things, how they do them wrong, and how their "company" fixes those problems. After her conversation, I started probing.
Me: "How long have you been shooting?"
Her: "Oh, only about 3 years or so..."
Me: "Wow, really? How did you get hooked up with "company"?
Her: "Well, I started shooting, and I was really good, and "owner of company" saw me, and asked me to be an instructor, so I said sure!"
Me: "Wow, that's cool..." Eek
They literally pulled her off the street and made her an instructor.... for their "military and LEO training. She had/has NO .mil or LEO training, and barely knows anything about firearms in general, forget about "tactical training". She learned on a Glock 19, so that's all she knows. All of her students shoot glocks, and that's all she really discusses... because its all she knows. It's the same with the entire "company". Red flag number 1.
thank you so much its good to see some humor now and againYes, I watch t.v. and I have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.
I also think 360 degree training is an outstanding idea, but only when the right logistical steps are taken.
What? You didn't think the education from television comment was funny?thank you so much its good to see some humor now and again
I'm all for training to whatever extent that anyone feels the need to take it. Speaking for myself I take more of an meat and potatos kind of approach. I'm willing to learn something new but i'd prefer it to be something that I can incorporate that is practical for me to use in a high stress type real life situation where the targets are'nt made of paper and have weapons that will shoot back. I guess i'm not looking for someone in a training envirornment to come at me with the newest,hippest, tackticool spin-a-roonie type moves and I don't particularly get excited or care to have the "feeling of the percussion of a round passing by me and moving my clothing" whichever direction it might be comming from. I'm sorry but I just don't go for all the theatrics.
