[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1198468, member: 5412"] I agree almost 100% My grandson is into Brazillian Ju Jitsu. He is 15 yrs old and small in stature. I've seen him take down grown men that laugh at him when he steps up into their weight class. Of course he is also state champ in TX in Greco Roman wrestling. A little mis-direction move to get your attention elsewhere, and he would be on you and have your weapon in his hands before one even knew it was happening. That being said, 99.9 percent of the gun owning population don't have the resources to train continously with one of the great schools out there. I'm ex mil, and currently shoot IPSC, have great situational awareness, and bust more caps playing at the farm than most. But have been thinking about going for additional, current training. Here is my problem: I've contacted several of the schools in Ok and surrounding states, and have been watching all of the SD programs on TV. Seems everyone of them has a different opinion of what is right and what is not right. So what is good SD training? I can't get a consensus from anybody. If one goes to Gunsight, and mentions you've already been trained at xyx course, they will tell you that the other guys training is antique and theirs is the best. I've watched them on TV and I can tell you that some of the techniques they use would get you killed in a gun fight. I'm going to equate one of their techniques they advocate with motocross racing. When I did the motocross thing, at the starting line, you would see the other riders, rotating their throttles from full to idle, back and forth real quick. The Problem with that is, if your at minimum throttle when the flag drops, you have that 1/4 sec it takes to spool up the engine, and somebody else gets the hole shot. In the Gunsight video's they advocate taking the shot if necessary, and then pulling the pistol back to your chest and sweeping left and then right with your entire upper torso, with the gun following the body. My argument is that if your sweeping left with your body, and a new threat comes up on the right, you have that much more arc to traverse before getting on target. Therefore the perp gets the "holeshot". IMO, you keep the weapon at the ready position and sweep with your eyes and head keeping the weapon centered to the body. Thats just one example. [/QUOTE]
