Pro's guide to CQB | Human Behaviour & Force on Force 

i am in active service for the Philippine Army and had been to combat in mostly jungle terrain, had my first experience in real CQB during ISIS siege in one of our city.. we never had real training for this kind of operation we had to learn through experience because there is only one unit in our branch that was specially trained for urban and CQB the Army LRR, the rest including which i belong are anti-guerrilla fighters. i would like to thank you for this video because i learned a lot.

I can't be the only one who walks around the house now clearing all the rooms in my mind after watching this series.

I loved the force on force, specially the guy who shot the "unarmed" contact. I think that is a great example of behavior under stress but more importantly, great example of behavior in a life threatening situation. He was focused on him almost looking like "tunnel vision", the contact did a mouvment the officer s mind perceived as "oh shit, threat!" and he fired. That was maybe the best thing that could have happened in this video. Great source of discussion there. Still, I would love to know what would have happened if there was an armed guy who had is weapon shouldered, I mean from the Internetional Humanitarian Law IHL for conflicts, he is armed, but not combatant... How would the officer's approach change in this situation in terms of manouvering, would he treat the guy as a threat, or treat him almost like a civilian? But I think that the importance in a situation like that is a positive ID of who we are dealing with, threat or no threat, compliant or not etc.

The opening video makes me so glad that I'm just watching this to learn airsoft instead of actually having to fight for my life.

I'd like to see Eli go over his carrier set up and explain why he set it up that way.

this is so against normal doctrine where force of violence and shock factor are so drilled but this kind of thing should be taught far more. rather than just shove a full stack through the fatal funnel as fast as you can.

Those dislikes are the uneducated, keep it up ufpro love these videos it helps.

It's very interesting I enjoy these videos I am a Security Officer. Many officers security and law enforcement get a very basic brief training. This is more extensive to the individual I think and perhaps more officers at different training levels working together can compromise eachother while resorting to their different training foundations. If that makes sense.? I really appreciate this work may save my life or someone else.

Sir. I want to thank you for these videos you post. I do shooting but then also play airsoft for force on force experience. There is no better videos on youtube than these. Keep uploading them. . . Much respect to you and all the real heros that civilians like me aspire to be.

Notice you guys use electric airsoft guns for the training. Would recommend gas blow back (GBB) airsoft rifles instead. You get much more realism and more accurate weight to the actual rifle you would be using in the field. The shooter would be also be able to actually feel the recoil of the rifle shooting and the magazines only carry 30 rounds for an M4 platform. Just a recommendation, love watching these videos and the tactics that are explained.

It is time to unpack my airsoft...

I watched all of these and applied it during a 10 at home vacation using my home. Returned to train with my team and they were like who the heck are you and where is our friend......skillz level up

Thus guy is a great teacher, relaxed and clear. Awesome stuff.

This is insane. You usually pay hundreds of dollars for this kind of training. Keep up the amazing work

TL;DR: Unarmed guy situation: Instead of shouting „Police, turn around“ as a first order, he should have shouted firstly „Police, Hands up!“, right? The one example where the guy inside was "unarmed": He yells „Police, turn around!“, the guy just normally turns around with his hands down, sees some armed man pointing a gun at him, and then imidiatley, as a reflex, reaches for his gun; his hands were clearly relatively close to his weapon, so maybe he instinctively, out of his self-preservation, thought its better to defend himself activly, rather than give up.. Ok, now wouldn‘t it be better if instead of >slicing >slicing >seeing him > aim > yell „police, turn around!“ if he would have > aim > (but) yell „police, hands up“ , maybe follow up imidiatly with „don‘t move!“ and only if he has hands up, „turn around“ .. „come here“ and so fort. I mean its obviously better, isnt it, for various reasons. For example, if the guy, anyways has an intent to shot no matter what, you can tell that way faster and much safer. If he doesn‘t take his hands up, you know he isn‘t complying, while on the other hand, with yelling „turn around“, and he turns around, he actually is complying and also he is a big step closer to aim at you, meanwhile you‘re not even sure already, if he has the basic will to comply so far.. So the question could be, is there a certain situation, where it makes sense to shout the first order to „turn around“? I mean I‘m asking myself why this police officer went forward with it that way and if he learned and trained it that way? I came to the conclusion that this as a first order is a big no no - in general. You‘re basically asking a guy, who already has a gun in his hands possibly (you can‘t see it) to turn towards you with the gun, psychologically not giving him the chance to surrender. Hope this makes sense. Obviously I‘m nor police nor milittary and just thought about this myself if it wasn‘t clear enough. Thank you for the interessting video Grüsse aus der Schweiz

Really great editing. It builds suspense. The whole episode feels like a tactical briefing before a combat scene

Your videos are very informative with a lot of detail regarding techniques and procedures. I wish I had this kind of information when I was LEO. Keep them coming.

Nice work fellas! Regards from Romania 🇷🇴.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1832">30:32</a> "streifschuss?" Haha eli erste mal deutsch reden gehört 😉 Mal wieder ein erstklassiges Video!! Danke für diese super cqb reihe, bitte noch weitere Teile und vor allem mehr Videos mit Eli 🤙🤙

I've been playing a lot of Door Kickers 2. Most of my breach and clears are done using limited penetration techniques, rather than trying to ram a 12 foot long stack through a two foot wide threshold. I've had it drilled into me - speed, surprise, violence of action. Lost regional surprise means increased local speed and violence of action. Yet my instincts defied this, and aligned with the teachings here. Everything from slow pie, fast snap to 90°, more slow pie and then slam the last 30 degrees or so to the hard corner, the flinching to narrow when I see more barrels pointing my way than I'm pointing theirs, retreating through the pie matching the motion of the threat to limit exposure to fire. It feels so good to have my techniques validated so clearly throughout this course. I've also designed some levels which are designed to frustrate even active-duty personnel due to the complexity and difficulty. They're doable, but they're absolutely fucking brutal, and if it wasn't for the fact I have numerous hostages, including a US ambassador, you would never even attempt to take the fortress, you would just call in an air-strike. One of them likely wouldn't even be neutralised by a single F-18 and would likely take 3 or more 1,000lb bombs due to triple layer, air-gapped walls designed to double breaching charge expenditure which are breaking the fortress into 6 sections. There is a pathway from the 'porch' to every single room through doorways, so wall breaching charges are not necessary in theory, but if you want to get the mission done without taking extreme loss of life, you're making your own doorways to supplement the existing ones, and allowing you to shortcut a very linear layout. This is further complicated by the fact you only have 8 operators, and each operator may only carry one wall breaching charge, limiting you to either 4 triple thickness walls or 8 normal sub-dividing walls. I would be extremely interested to see how Eli would run my maps after a brief familiarisation with the game mechanics and control systems.

I like how everyone is there to learn understand and move forward together

Great video, very usefull in CQB Airsoft, which is why I'm here. There is something that comes to my mind seeing this video. Non of the entrences made by the agent where harmless, and that made me think about how very stressfull and dangerous the real deal may be. It is incredibly complicated to get arround and entry like it unharmed. This is not a Hollywood production, where bad gays aren't able to hit a car from 10 m away. Nice Job.

Amazing Information passed along. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.

the target fixation thing is SO REAL in video game. often my KD went 1 step forward 2 step back because of it

Started playing airsoft and this is gonna be handy for the squad when we run drills. Subbed

These videos have helped me survive fire fights in my tactical shooter games.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="725">12:05</a> oops, my grenade

You are an amazing teacher!! Very professional and the way you can explain and demonstrate is just fabulous! Thank you!

I actually got this kind of training in the army. We did a lot of MOUT and CQC training with scenarios like this using blanks. @UF PRO Do you guys teach about red zones and target handling or is it just movement type of stuff? Also: People really underestimate how long it takes to develop this kind of skill. I'm really impressed by these people training.

Love it man great work. I think it deserves to be mentioned that most homes around the globe will not stop a round. We need to realize that the human mind will not necessarily stop shooting because you duck behind a wall. Chances are the shooter will continue firing past the wall because they will overshoot the target. That means if you simply duck behind the wall quickly there is a potential to be shot through the wall. I think changing levels at this point would be a good idea. What are your thoughts?

@ <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="270">4:30</a> Everything including The Smells came rushing in. Lord have Mercy On Us All.

I'm watching these videos exactly for that montage you put in the beginning. I want to be prepared in case I only have 3 second before my door is busted down.

Shoutout to the first 3 minutes of this video! I’m watching this at 2am and the resulting door crashes and explosive bangs made me feel like I was actually getting swatted! Wow

great drills and technique. will put them to good use

I’d like to thank you for giving me this information so I can now clear my house every time I enter a new room. I’ve been watching a lot of your vids and I would say I’m now an expert of sweeping my house. 😂😂😂

This long videos are great. The whole serie is pretty awsome to watch!

i actually use a lot of the tactics in this video to clear rooms while i play airsoft ngl

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="180">3:00</a> csgo team flashers never end till banned. Had to make dumb comment. Still amazing video amazing knowledge and once again thanks for your service and support to the community to make it a better place much love.

These tactics are great. As a siege player I can logically clear a building in a controlled matter!

I'm a dance teacher. I love watch this guy teach CQB. I'm not entirely sure what I am watching, but I see a certain logic in the way he teaches.

One think I do not understand at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2022">33:42</a> the instructor said that his student needs to worry about the gun and corner. The guy can tell the suspect: put your hands behind your back, crawl or roll to your left side so he will be far away from the gun and your only worry is the corner

Nice little detail at the end!

Is it possible to be able to train the amount of stress you can take so you can remain calmer in a difficult situation

heavy reliance on stacking and the wall, quoting his point that there is no cover but only concealment in cqb, once the room is triggered and you hide behind the wall or the narrow, enemies with high powered rifles shoot through the wall and you are hit.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="728">12:08</a> defo just dropped a grenade there.😆

Civvy question: The step-back is based on the assumption that the wall/door will protect you from fire. What if the threat has an AK and sprays the wall? You lost visual of the threat and can’t return fire while he has a general idea of where you are to mag dump his AK

More training videos, please. These are amazing!

During the opening scene it looked like the defender was aware of the guy at the doorway. Wouldn't most defenders in that situation in most cases open up on the wall next to the doorframe? And if the defender expects a breacher to come into the room wouldn't they flatten out against the wall and pop the breacher as soon as he sees bodyparts coming into view?

One moment I'm setting at my desk eating lunch and resting, twent yminutes later i'm latching up my plate carrier and goin for a run, trying to recall all of my army CQB training. If this isn't a trigger...

I practice the techniques in videos like this as in tactical VR shooters like onward and ghost of tabor I figure it is a cheep medium for force on force training

Another great vid and teachings, superb! 👍🏼

Those videos are really great! I play arisoft an I'm learning a lot about cqb with your videos! thanks

Amazing knowledge. Thank you.

Top-notch, excellent well done

Thanks for sharing this high quality material!

Me, a rainbow six player: cool! Now I can die tactically!

Thank you so much sir, I subscribe ur channel bcuz in this days we really need this CQB. I'm from India

Thats footage shoot in the mosque?

Well done Eli, thank you.

Thank you

Can someone tell me what is the music of the video in <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="150">2:30</a>?

Good instructions. Great channel.

This is gonna be great help whenever I’m clearing my room whenever I turn my light off 😂

Just pure excellence.

This is amazing

Another great one. Thanks for doing more of these longer vids!

I got stressed just observing the scenario at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1890">31:30</a>. I knew how it's gonna go down...

The only question I have to ask is what do you do when the threat becomes alerted to you outside the doorway and decides to fire through the wall? The airsoft guns don't account for that. Obviously I'm not sure how you could account for that, but that seems to be a major detriment for the person trying to enter.

Excellent 👍 information Sir!

The vid's provided here are top of the line. I would love the opportunity to train like this. I would also love to have the data logged from these courses of instruction.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="225">3:45</a> that slap 🤣

Badri been filling on these videos

Outstanding video!

Cool stuff from the pros who "gained their military experience over the course of the past twenty years hunting down farmers in Iraq and Afghanistan", as Scott Ritter has put it.

Great stuff. Thanks.

Under rated

GENIAL, dass Airsoft Replica Waffen nicht nur als Spaßfaktor dienen können, sondern auch um realitätsnah wie möglich zu trainieren 👍

Nach diesem video check ich jedes zimmer in meiner wohnung

Very smart man

Super great!

Is there a benefit to snapping 90 over quick peeking for information then using verbal commands ?

Can someone explain to me what the shoulder check is for? Thank you.

Amazing Stuff!!
