Ummmmm.why?
Watch the video and you’ll hear the explanation.
15 years of cqb in various SOF units…I don’t need to hear the “explanation”. I can’t think of 1 real world reason to do this. Never had to do anything like this irl…so please, enlighten me.
That is kind of a weird response, man. In the same reply you said you don’t need the explanation and then asked him to explain (“enlighten me”) it.
I made the video so I guess I can answer. I believe footwork and repetitive practice is important. It’s a good enough answer for me. I understand if it isn’t for you. It’s cool, it doesn’t have to be weird between us.
Not a weird response. I explained my experience and then offered for him to respond with his explanation to possibly enlighten my obviously biased (read: experienced) opinion.
Your response, however, still gives no justification for ducking under a wire (a boxing drill, btw) to get better footwork.
Again, ummmmm, why? It offers no added benefit to actual shooting and moving and burns time on the range that could be used for other more important skills other than “footwork”
So please, enlighten me.
Yes, it is from a boxing drill which is what I said in the video as soon as I started talking.
Like I said, I find value in repetitive practice. Whether that be hard core fundamental work or combining some movement. My group will spend time moving side to side, forward and back, prone to crouch to standing, and sometimes we duck under things. All is weapons familiarization and improves the ability to shoot in non-static situation.
I understand you find no value in it. I’m not going to try and change your mind. I’m sure you are more experienced than us but we see results in our methods.
I don’t think either of us need to lose sleep (figuratively or actually) over this argument. We have both stated our opinion and can keep training the way see the best results. Have a good day.
Interesting rebuttal.
I would imagine if I tried to explain the benefits of a certain stitch on a certain piece of material, you could probably school me 6 ways to Sunday on how I was going about it the hard way or using the wrong materials and stitches.
What I’m trying to say is this. Make great videos, but make them with the correct stitching and materials. Would you put a crossed box stitch where it wasn’t needed?
Point taken but if you were seeing good results with a different type of stitching… I would say, “keep going”.
Name 1 thing you shouldn’t do when shooting or preparing to pull the trigger… step off the line. Exactly what’s being taught here. Totally stupid.
What? Surely you aren’t saying you shouldn’t be allowed to move forward and back if you are the only one on the range.
Hmm. Interesting explanation, although maybe the drill ran a bit long. To validate the usefulness of this as a training technique, perhaps someone will run a few classes with a Control Group (not experiencing the drill), and an Experimental Group (using Slip Line drill). Then, compare their performance on some other quantifiable evaluation.
All sorts of training should be tested, to see if good ideas, or old ways, are actually what they are cracked up to be.
