Defensive Tactics - Reaction and Transitioning to Firearm

[NerdSharkcqc]

I can promise you that all the firearms were made safe and there was No Live Ammo in the Area. I was there, I am in the that background. I have attened 3 Bullet and Blade(2 in Nashville, 1 In Gainsville) I suggest Checking it out; I have yet to see anything faster than CAR. The fighting to your firearms stuff is great. Datu Worden and Jeff Johnsgaard are both great teachers. If you show up and Bring an open mind, You will get results

I will be there Again in March.

Nice vid, people focus to much attention in the safety issue, when you already make the statement that the firearms are been safety check, I care about the instruction and learn from that.

First rule of the Cooper 4 is indeed to treat all firearms as if they are loaded. It's probably not a bad idea to still treat a firearm as loaded even after checking it several times over too, if nothing else to develop good habits. We recognize that the way some segments train may not be for everyone, and do encourage that the Cooper 4 be adhered to by most trainees. Thanks for bringing your perspective to this thread.

Yeah... I've had and continue to have law enforecemnt training... we use red guns/ blue guns during training. When we did use live, yet unloaded firearms, we never pointed them at eachother. Pretty sure rule number 1 is treat all firearms as if loaded.

I believe you meant "treat all guns as loaded", which would be one of the Cooper Four rules, and you would be making a very valid point. We agree, and do in fact use trainer guns for beginner level trainees. For our military and law enforcement practitioners, we face a different training dynamic and we adapt to those realities.

I am very suprised this instructor lets his students use real firearms as subsitutes for red guns. It does not matter if they are unloaded, its common knowledge not to do that, and treat all guns as unloaded.

@ELITEHAMSTER123 Don't be such a pussy dude.The people in your country are enough soft in my eyes.The instructor in this video gives me different view and i like it.

[ELITEHAMSTER123]

@AnimusPipboy I didnt bash what he is teaching, I just think something like this should be done with the maximum safety. Especially with a professional course, you are setting an example for how they will train when they head back home. I believe almost everyone has the responsibility to train with a real gun for force on force, but its (in my opinion) stupid to do so when you have a better alternative. Murphy's law rests for no one.

@ELITEHAMSTER123 When you meet the bad guys you won't think about the safety trust me.Also when you train with real guns you value that how you use the weapon cuz you know it's something that take lives and should not point it on everyone like a toy.
