Well............
I had the good fortune to attend this event earlier this morning. Here's my feedback, FWIW:
jthhapkido (jth) provided an excellent program for USPSA (and IDPA, as well) shooters who wish to reduce their clock times by improving their stage movements.
Nine shooters attended. Weather was friendly. Not really hot and mostly overcast during the seminar. No glaring sunshine.
Stage setups were plain vanilla simple, which really helped concentrate the action on motion and movement aspects, rather than trying to hit swingers (which could be another seminar) and such.
jth, perhaps because of his martial arts training, can move like a cat, so it's instructional to watch him run a course of fire. However, it's much harder to imitate him. (I only fell once, and was not the only one.) He teaches a move called the split-step which is used to get the shooter moving quickly from a stationary position. He also shows the shooter how to combine the aspects of stopping at the end of the run (foot position, handgun movement, and shooting) such that they are melded into a single fluid event, rather than strung out in time-consuming sequence. And working around the barriers.
And there was much more, as well. Including a lot of improvement of shooters' times.
It's always a pleasure to work a class under the guidance of a thoroughly professional, competent, and dedicated trainer. As was this particular case.
Summary: First class handgun training event.
