TACTICAL TWISTER: CQB FOOTWORK EXPLAINED 

High value, well articulated, entertaining video. Thanks guys!

5:09 BAHAHAHHAHA this is why u fucking love this content. Informative, long format, so I can hear you guys bounce ideas off each other using both of your experiences/expertises. And the funny gags in between and knee slapped jokes are what I am all here for.

I don't know when was the last time I pressed the bell button for a youtube channel but I did it for this one

I bought the GBRS group Tactical Triangle Cones and Frogman Million Mile Per Hour tape to practice this. They’re way better than regular cones and tape and a bargain at only $475.

Sound foot work and gun manipulation are absolutely vital to fundamental room entry. It’s amazing how many people focus on so many other “tacticool” factors and neglect foot work and gun manipulation. Great video and knowledge transfer guys!

Hey, love your videos, can you please do a video about engaging targets while panning or entering ?(targets in the middle of the room and not on the deep corners) thanks

Amazing info for free. Thank yall so much.

When something so dynamic and intricate is explained by professionals, you know its done properly because now I think I can one man cqb with no issues.

5:09 that is all

5:11 Violated my last few braincells.

What is the point of having a short barrel if you still have to put the butt over your shoulder?

👍

5:09 what was that?

, what if there is a baddy in the corner that the entry man has his back to

5:09 WtF was That all about lol.

I can't tell you how much I love this and the way you guys break this down. I've spent the last 30 years training with professional fighters and trainers. Foot work and proper positioning is fundamental to everything we do and teach. Whether you are in the ring or clearing a room, understanding kinesiology, economy of movement and movement with purposeful action is key to being successful. Great stuff guys!

At 02:30 you're exposed from the back and from your left side. Why not slice the pie?

So you visually cleared the right side why would you continue in that direction if the left hand isn’t cleared yet?

Footwork = bull-shit + the opening seems wider than a normal doorway. Why isn't there are a door? Probably because as soon as you present a real door, that foot work mumbo jumbo goes right out the window. CQB is conceptual not technical, the more you do it, the more you realize it.

Lol yall had me rolling at 5:09 hahah. Everything else was serious and then boom! Love it and I love the good training you guys are great to watch and learn from!

Tactical Dora: *Can you say 'violence of action'? Muy bien!*

10:00 Jerad knew exactly what we all had our hands raised about lmfao Also... can we get a "repent and turn to Christ" OTG patch.

Just thought you guys might like to know that I often refer to and direct others to your channel while preparing my classes here in Ukraine. To help my guys remember which foot to start with in regards to buttonhook or cross I tell them to think of the leg that's closest to the wall as a forward or reverse shifter..... If we are doing a buttonhook that means we will be going in the opposite direction therefore our wall side leg (shifter) will be in the reverse position .... and forward position before initiating a cross.... Just thought you might like to hear that you guys are being very well received and your work is highly appreciated

20 years ago I stepped on yellow footprints on an Island in South Carolina. I am but a POG with some exceptional experience given a career of administrative oversights landing me in specialized infantry companies resulting in training with Recon and conducting operations with SEALs and Army SF in both Iraq and Afghanistan. To put it simply, I'm not a cool guy, but I've worked a lot with cool guys for awhile now. These videos have helped me put into words what I've known and said for the better part of 20 years. From clearing from outside the room to this video on footwork, I've always been able to demonstrate to friends and colleagues, but I've never been able to articulate it and quantify it so succinctly. Well done and I'm always proud to share your videos. Cheers, and keep up the excellent work!

Great video! I found it fascinating to see how similar the footwork and gun handling used in "tactical twister" are to practical/action competitive shooting. It makes sense that efficient movement and target engagement will have more similarities than differences, even when used in different applications and environments.

Great video guys, can't wait for the OTG/Dora the explorer Merch

They should make a plate carrier attachment that’s like a sensor for the mantis systems so it’s basically next level lazer tag.

Damn I can't believe this old man told us to touch grass 😂

Naruto is best anime homie

8:19 THIS!!!! Watch this section especially. The OTG boys can’t stress enough the importance of this section. Breaking the rifle over the shoulder (or under arm) while breaching that doorway. Dead space has NO CHANCE!

Very informative video guys . Question does the first man flip his safety to fire before entry or is he waiting until threat appears before flipping it hot.

Impressive footwork. Now let's see Paul's.

Lost me at good diet

Why was the guy entering the room so close to the door frame? Before he entered the room any one inside the room would have seen his barrel before he entered. Trying to understand the logic

“Repent and turn to Christ” love this and love that you ain’t afraid to say it a lot

The first room u were clearing, you would also be yelling out short room because of how small the room is . That way you ain't got 3 or 4 dudes cluster fxked in a tiny room.

Thompson James Jackson Kenneth Lewis Sharon

The worst part is that I'm right-handed but left leg guy

What about the bad dude who is on the other side of the room, when #1 dude walks in and gets blasted in the back?

There are many ways to skin a cat.. so the saying goes. These were very good examples. Good demonstration.

Has one of you guys been to a class or something?

If SOPs don’t dictate flowing, buttonhooking, or heavy side entry and it was all up to the number 1 man; I feel like I would have to anticipate the 1 man’s move if I was the number 2 man. But obviously you can guess wrong if you are anticipating. Any tips for the number two man on how to read the number 1 man while limiting time and distance?

Perfect! When we use buttonhook and when we use crossfire?

Great video! Appreciate the information!

Walker Melissa Perez Deborah Anderson Maria

Great video and explanation. I like how you provided sound reasoning behind your tactics and added context for the continental United States. Great to see.

At 2:29, foots in the room, head is well out of the room. Some thoughts on that?

Williams Melissa Brown William Lewis Donald

Great content and excellently delivered. Thank you guys for doing these. P.S. I would 1000% watch a Dora the Explorer themed OTG video!

Martinez Frank Harris Donna Moore Robert

Room clearing is scary crap , I’ll take my place in the wood line in a scope

This evening we did active shooter training with my department. I wish I would have seen this prior, as it cleaned up and made my movement smoother. Thank you for the information. Greatly appreciated!

Excellent video brothers

What I found interesting when practicing the footwork was that it felt very similar to what I used to do when I used to play football. I was a tight end and offensive tackle and the footwork was very similar if I had to do a pulling block or do a shift.

nuh-roo-toe

The best cqb i have ever seen 💪😎

Beautiful

Moore Robert Martin John Brown Brian

Gonna use this for my animations thanks!

This is insanely valuable. 30 years ago you would have to personally know one of them and even then they might give a smidge of info. Thank you

2:10 he ded

Love the effective articulation and visuals. Thank you!

Can somebody explain me why you put the stock of the gun above your shoulder before room entry?

Would love to see a video of what to do with doors. How to open/breach/process etc

Appreciate you guys a whole lot! Definitely screenshooting this and using it

Really need to hit one of these courses up.

Any plans to come to Idaho for classes?

That rifle is on🔥

Very old school. Wow. Update.

Thanks guy's! Love the input!

We don't slice the pie anymore?

Soooo anyone notice the pufferfish?

Great video, this has made a lot of stuff from other videos make sense for me.
