Retention - fighting with Firearms

What in the unrealistic ninja bullshit did I just watch? ?
There were a few times (5:10) being the best) that I don’t even understand what could possibly have made his sparring partner fall out? Must have been his killer chi.

Ken was a seal... spent another decade training seals

Started the flashlight training for surefire back in the day

I think he trains in Systema....

I took a shooting class from him and later a 5 day PCR class at the huntington beach police department.....

If you are not familiar with triangulation and waves- it will reset your OODA loop

So some of this might be valid . The problem with all of the m9ves in your arsenal is the guy who has other moves . That's how new techniques are discovered , because of the guy the old ones didn't work 9n . The reason you are in a fight is that your opponent doesn't know what you know and or doesn't fuckin care . Your arsenal should have different layers , some martial art being one . What do you do when the bang stick don't go bang or the opfor is holding you by the pistol belt ?

Switch to a knife and stop playing karate with your rifle.

Here's the dumb thing. Without a VFG you are placing yourself at a serious disadvantage trying to retain an AR only gripping it around the forend with your hand.

Plus, I don't get why you would not be putting rounds in your opponent if you could, rather than trying to play Ninja wrestling.

Never go to a gunfight with martial arts!


Old Chinese saying:

"Qiang sheng yi xiang, fu mu bai yang".

"When the gunshot rings out, your parents just birthed you for no reason".

Coined in the early 1800's, when firearms came into general use everywhere. The Taiping rebels from 1853 to 1864 were the Class A exhibit in the brutal truth of this saying. They went halberd and kung-fu fighting against Qing infantrymen all equipped with Enfield rifled muskets and mounted bannermen firing arrows and Colt revolvers at full gallop. The result: Taiping slaughter. Thousands upon thousands of corpses hung from the walls of Beijing and Nanjing and left to rot on purpose for all to view them.

Needs more nut kicks.
 
The “attacker” apparently can’t take a step and falls. I understand starting slow and building up speed as you go, but unless these guys pad up and train full out dynamically eventually, the lessons are useless.

This concept proved valid in the early days of MMA here in the states. The boxers, kickboxers, wrestlers, and jiu jitsu players dominated. More so wrestlers and jiu jitsu guys as they can train against a resisting opponent at full force with less chance of injury. The traditional martial arts practitioners that never trained dynamically (point sparring is not good enough) got there asses kicked.
 
So I find it odd that anyone would dismiss a fighting technique offhand . A Black Belt represents that you have maxe it your own . It is not the destination just a road marker . Gunfighting is a martial art . A true martial artist works a technique with the mindset of proving not disproving . If one approaches anything with a defeatist attitude it likely will not work . The contentions that these guys were not going full tilt is valid yet if you can't see the technique due to full apeed its worthless .
We've gone from Bullseye stance one handed to : Weaver , Isoceles , modified Isoceles and whatever weierd shit the Israelis are doing . Hell one guy on here has even incorporated propane defensive combat into his arsenal . ?
