30 years leo, 15 of those part time police trainer. You can tell this is going to work - not because of his mil background or that i did some years Judo but cause of his ears (u cant see them in this vid). carry on
Im a layman. Not Tier anything. I think this content is logical and effective. i watch videos on this topic all the time. Even with my limited knowledge, these are useful.
Great content & positional awareness. I found the explanation simple and layered with a depth of knowledge. At times individuals with BJJ/Wrestling/Grappling backgrounds will deep dive into overexplaining positions, however, I found your content easy to digest. I really liked the strap technique to secure the primary to the rear, so it doesn't flop around while working. I appreciate you.
Good grief…🤦🏻♂️ Ooorrr position back from the threshold as you sweep left to right looking into the room to view as much of the backside as you can with ya muzzle up…approach the threshold from the opposite side muzzle up but not breaching the threshold and take a peep to secure the backside…cycle back to original side muzzle up scanning and theeen punch through the threshold. With this guy’s method in this scenario if there is a backside treat the minute that threshold is breeched ya dead homie. Two man assault…first guy in goes left AFTER a 180 degree step back and scan to evaluate the room’s backside BEFORE punching through. I have never bet my life during a breech on me being 1/4 second faster than the other guy. Eliminate variables beforehand…end of story
Have you ever, Been on a Blackhawk helicopter in any other scenarios, other than exercises… We don’t have Blackhawks unless of course it’s something that’s top-secret, and I am unaware of considering I am an absolute freak on countries, rolling stock of everything from airplanes to rockets to vehicles (I just tanks and tanks, busters, etc….. minesweepers, armoured personnel, carriers, soft skin vehicles… You had griffins and chinooks and from my understanding, you guys demoed out a couple of little birds, which are quite lethal in their own right… But I wish you had reiterated on that question ….
Did not know much about yall until dallas was the shawn ryan show. And I admit me being a dumb judgmental army guy as your southern bro I probably would not have learned how legit you dudes are! Great video man.
3:48 I can only imagine the discipline required to see a threat at the last second and still commit to your entry, believing that the person who follows truly has your back. These dudes are unbelievable.
I'm confused how are you able to use AR-15 platform with the Liberal government ban and mags with greater than 5rnds? I think it's great, just curious what license let's you guys do this?
Because they are fundamentally banned for anyone who doesn’t need one to work… Police, military, armed guard’s, dealers, collectors, and manufacturers can all still have them. Once they banned them for general use, they put several exemptions on the bans.
Hello, from Argentina I ask you if use a pistol in CQB, is good C.A.R. SYSTEM? Sorry my bad english. I want see you useing pistol in cqb. Whrn protect to vip´s we need use shrt guns in Argentina. greeting
Far too much talking if I put my hand on your left shoulder that means I’m going left if I put my hand on your right hand shoulder that means I’ve got the right, so never mind the bullshit and who’s doing what and whatever else get the fucking job done
point man picks what side hes going based on the situation and layout of the room, not the guy behind him. 2nd man in the stack has to react to the point man and so on and so fourth. it's all fluid and organic. at this level there is very minor need for communication.
@@BaloneySandwichWithKetchup absolutely and I don’t disagree but when you’re going in, there’s no discussion because it’s a job you know it was bizarre but I was a plumber and a steamfitter before I entered, and when I came out, the only difference was that I was much beat up and I kind of did more sales and shit like that but I would still get the fucking job done and that was the point I can understand you know when you’re taking civilians and putting him through for whatever reason why the fuck he would wanna do that like you know it’s kind of like having a Lego set when you’re 45 years old. What’s the point but what am I supposed to say everybody’s got their ideas I got hot years ago. I was a welder and I was going back-and-forth from Canada to Alberta back in the day. This is back in the 80s and shit and early early 90s and I went to Texas for some training and I ended up hooking up with these welders and they asked me if I knew how to do and I never even you know what’s the connection well it took me about 15 minutes and ding. Ding. Ding Charlie what kind of money? Can I make some dough and I was fucked up because they told me yeah you can do like anywhere between 12 and 15 K a month and you have Up to four on and fly off and you will get paid for 16 and it was an awesome fucking deal that’s weird shit started to hurt and then the company I was working for well it was union shit but I was sent out to Patch Some. Barrage inLouisiana… And I was hot but only problem is when you’re by yourself as a 20 something gay yeah you’re gonna spend it as quickly as you make it unless you’re of course one of these I won’t get into it however, I lived hard I read hard… I rode hard. Yeah, I rode bikes. I rode a fucking Hardtail from Toronto to Florida through Georgia. My dad was fuck in. I couldn’t even move when I get off the bike I was just fucked and it was just simply well. You’re an old man now but that’s when I discovered CHIROPRACTOR’s but I also discovered suspension but aside from that no I’m still at point if you’re coming in and you and I are ITI and we understand before and we know what we’re going in for … Yes, absolutely no need for discussion you can point I can point and that’s all we need and I will be gone just by what you said or regular brother makes me feel good
@@BaloneySandwichWithKetchup I think I said something about being gay not that there’s anything wrong with that but I do voice dictation and as I said not, this is anything wrong with it, everyone should feel is free is whatever they want. I don’t really care about that shit however, I am not gay and voice. Dictation is unfortunately born with sausage fingers, and I can’t touch the board without touching a five other keys so I merely have the only option of voice dictation and I apologize for that and it’s unfortunate in many cases sometimes I’ll say something and it won’t come out as stated or as I intended and again I apologize I’m at Canadian I apologize for apologizing…. But if you’re looking for appointment and in many cases, yes I get the situation however that’s on paper when you get into appoint and you have a left-handed shooter, everything changes because the dynamics that person is much more capable and depending because I’ve met left-handed shooters who will have their side arm on the right side. I’ve also met left-handed shooters, who have their side arm on the left side which is ridiculous. If you ask me however they always seem to justify it where well if my one arm got screwed up. I could still do this with that Arm. OK I can’t take that from them if they feel better same lens guys put their med kit on the backside and how the fuck are you gonna get to it if you need it by yourself you can’t get to it it’s ridiculous. Don’t put it on your backside, especially tourniquets. I just don’t get it some of these guys and they’re fucking packages. It’s ridiculous.
Back in the day we didn’t need no seals or JTF or whatever the fuck that supposed to mean… Our boys were the equivalent of SAS and above, and we didn’t need help and we weren’t a junior part in a mission unfortunately, all that went away and diminished… Everything was absolutely gone after they disbanded after Somalia in the bullshit and all we have a sensitive government now so we’re not allowed to do those missions anymore. No we go in and hand out flowers now. People to rebuild their water, their potable water resources after We destroyed what they had…. It’s all a crock of shit however, I honestly do dig this guy because I think he’s one of the originals from the old team perhaps a child from one of the old operators not certain but he’s got some firecrackers going on with the question
Back in the 1800s, in Germany, and I think most of Western Europe, it was an honor to have these big face scars called "mensur scars". Only the highest-status men in society had them.
I remember going to work seeing the pic on the front page and thinking oh look Cadpat that's JTF2. The media & politicians didn't seem to know Canada's camoflage though.
Yes, this place got some nuts on it or hot but it’s nothing like airborne prior to Somalia, unfortunately they had to disband the whole works and send everyone for sensitivity training when you make a soldier there’s no sensitivity training you know if Summer since someone to be an automotive mechanic for 30 years, there’s no way that person is going to come back after those 30 years and becoming an accountant and when you train a warrior that warrior will always be a warrior there’s no reprogramming we’re not monkeys and we’re not computers we have we do have feelings, however, first in for most everything else is cut out and our objective is what matters….. PERIOD… The world couldn’t handle what Canadian airborne was doing. The simple fact is, we were almost better than Insidious SAS.. No band which might’ve been around in the late 70s into the early 80s but the simple fact was the public Omai God don’t break my nails please protect me so I can just get to work and back and I don’t give a fuck about what’s going wrong and how it affects me but I know that I’m in Canada so I am OK no sooner or later you won’t be and people don’t get it they just don’t
I like the complimentary example of diminishing the space versus the step-centre method you show earlier. One context not shown yet is closed door entry, which I imagine is a blind entry riding the door in? Anyway, your content with short, professional demos free of tangents off the subject matter is greatly appreciated. It's comfortingly like observing an NCO SME demo something, but without me struggling not to nod off in the heat.
Your fancy you got all the lingo down… How about you get planted in the middle of a fucking dirt patch and you become the target what are you gonna do then?
When a junkie came at me with a knife, I was trying to grab his right wrist with my left hand and do a 'turning throw', but I see now that its best to try and get the junkie into the same position as what you have your training partner in at the 3-second mark of this video. The reason is that when grabbing the junkie to do a turning throw, it seems like there's an opportunity there for the junkie to bite me. You do not want to get bit by a homeless guy who never brushes his teeth. You can get a flesh-eating disease or AIDS or hepatitis A through C. I think this figure four to side control is a great tool in certain situations with certain "non-contagious" combatants, but I just realized a turning throw would enable the junkie to bite me. I realize now my plan on how to handle a junkie trying to attack me with a knife is flawed. But this video made me realize I should somehow try to get him to face the ground without giving him an opportunity to bite me.
That's why they say, "train how you fight". Because it sucks way less learning your stuff doesn't work in training than it does when your life is on the line.
Hey Randy please do more MMA, self defense videos please. Stop answering the plebs stupid questions. As a pleb myself, do you have disdain for the run of the mill Canadian?
