The Author Training And Teaching A Group Of Law Enforcement Firearm Instructors
Mostly, I really love the internet!!!
The reality of training and the internet. Recently I was watching a video of an acclaimed Martial Practitioner. He’s good, like really good! He was showing some training and drills that were a very impressive skill set. However, this is the reality of the world and everyone has an opinion. A lot of people just did not like what he was showing. People evaluating a person off one video or even several may just not be getting the full picture. Or they just may not have enough knowledge to understand what was being shown. When someone is showing a drill it is just a drill. That drill is designed to impart some fundamentals. You don’t use a drill in a fight, personal protection situation, self-defense or in the real world but you might use one of those fundamentals. That is what the drill imparts fundamentals, skill sets, etc. Then you apply those in other aspects of training like sparring, scenario based training, etc. I have videos myself out there imparting skills sets and fundamentals. It’s on the practitioner to then go out there and apply it in a dynamic manner if needed. Yes, I’ve had people troll my videos as well. Even with 45+ years of training, teaching, professional law enforcement credentials and real world practical experience in various venues and locations. Videos of drills are snapshots of a moment. They do not impart all the details and you really should understand that.
