This is part of the ShivWorks' ECQC Course 'Extreme Close Quarters Concepts' created and taught by Craig Douglas aka 'SouthNarc'. In this video, Craig Douglas teaches retention shooting from the high-pectoral index and puts retention shooting in real-world context. These concepts are tested on the range with live fire and then in hand-to-hand fights in a martial arms gym.

I do believe we ALL owe John a debt of gratitude for this one☝🏼. I honestly believe that this is the first ever “training of a trainer” video I’ve ever seen presented in such a clear and concise manner; and not just another trainers collaboration. Complete respect for the extreme amount of value provided. A HUGE thank you to everyone @ WPS which make this possible. God Bless you and your family Mr. Lovell ! 🙏🏼🇺🇸❤️

I honestly disliked this channel when I was young and dumb. But now that I’m old and dumb it is phenomenal. This particular video is one of, if not the most, objective training video. It’s a solid, trained shooter, taking pointers from a solid trained shooter without mouthing back to show viewers “I know” or “me too”. Brilliant content here.

@StrollaLawDefense 3 года назад

One of the best “non-verbal” training tips in this entire video was about 21 minutes in. John’s reload after his second shot was actually an amazing FREE professional tip!! Watch John’s footwork and created space during his reload. Most folks, including myself, would probably simply reload while just standing still during the practice drill. I personally want to thank you, John, for showing us what a real life reload should look like if ever engaged in this type of self defense situation!! Many many thanks! God bless.

Magic Mike Magic Mike Yeah I know, but they shouldn't give away every technique and move just for $19.99 DVD and a $500 seminar..... Those same techniques are then used against us. Hell, the only card we still have is how to make nukes... And I'm 100% convinced these fuck-head "Shooting instructors" would give that information away for the reasonable price of $1000 or best bidder, heck they would even throw in bonus material of how to drive tanks and operate missile silos for being the first 100 to place an order...... Basically, these idiots are, in my opinion, the offspring of Private SNAFU, just telling anyone and everyone anything they wanna know... What gets me is how the people they served with don't beat their fucking ass for breaking the vow of silence.
