Thought everyone would like that video. TRUE TACTICAL!
[cough, hack]
Scary part? He's not the only one doing that.
He's got a point---people
should learn to shoot from whatever position they are in. However, he apparently is just parroting that from a competent person, because HE certainly can't do it. And neither, apparently, can many of the other people who are "teaching" it.
You see that sort of thing all too often in the "tactical" world, unfortunately. Someone who teaches "self-defense combatives" or "hand-to-hand defense with firearms" who doesn't actually have any knowledge besides a seminar they took once long ago that was for military or law enforcement, someone else who teaches knife/gun defenses because they watched a SouthNarc ECQC video and though "hey, I can do that stuff!"; there lots of people out there who teach plenty of things they just flat-out
don't know---but they parrot JUST ENOUGH good concepts copied from someone else that people think that their techniques really ARE useful.
When their techniques really suck. (This happens in martial arts classes, too.) They can spout the basic concept (though they normally can't explain it, and any questions about it tend to get non-responses like "if you've never had someone try to kill you, then you just won't understand") but they don't understand it, they can't apply it, and their techniques might look cool, but just won't work.
They are teaching stuff they don't know. But that apparently doesn't stop them.
On the internet, lots of people are "experts" suddenly. Apparently, in this day and age, being "TACTICAL!" often means that if you look/act tough enough, sprinkle lots of "critical dynamic incident" buzzwords, tell people that you play by "big boy rules" and really know what "happens on the street," that is enough to make you suddenly knowledgeable.
[sigh]
On a separate note: IF YOU WANT TO BE A TRUE OPERATOR(tm) YOU WILL TAKE THE BLACKER OPS SEMINAR!
You CAN'T be a True Operator(tm) without it. Nothing else compares. You'll be NOTHING without this seminar. NOTHING, I tell you. On the street, you will be DESTROYED without the knowledge that only THIS SEMINAR can give you.
My Ops Are Blacker Than Your Ops

real about self-defense with a firearm.)
