I’m always talking about movement with urgency and getting off the X, but this is really what that looks like for me when I’m trying to find that balance between real speed and actually getting hits that matter. At realistic self-defense distances, it’s not about looking pretty or shooting tight groups—it’s about how fast you can move and still land solid hits fight stopping hits. As a right-handed shooter, I’ve found it’s a lot easier for me to stay on my primary hand and work at this angle and pace, but that’s just from a lot of reps doing it this way. This kind of work is where you really start to see your limit—how fast is too fast, when your hits start to fall apart, and what you can actually control while moving.

Look, we’ve all heard that popular catchphrase “train like you fight“ or some version of that, yeah? And all I’m saying is if you can free your hands, especially if you’re messing with your phone, do so. I’m not saying you can’t solve the problem with the phone in one hand and a sh*tty grip. I’m just saying, give yourself every advantage there is, and there is something to this whole “ muscle memory thing“ because I see it in my classes! Both live fire and force on force. And granted they’re using my fake prop phones😂. Sometimes I wonder if it would change anything if they were actually holding their real phone. I don’t know. I know that Phone is your lifeline, and the first thing we tell you to do after you use that gun is to get on the phone and drop a dime to 911, yes. But, give yourself every advantage you can to solve that first problem. This is what I’m talking about when I say “train in context for your mission”. Because we all know the probability of you being on your phone when she hit, the fan is much greater than zero.
Train Akamai!

It looks like I never even had a malfunction, I just couldn’t feel that I didn’t connect with the trigger because of those freaking gloves🤦🏻‍♂️
Dumbass🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Sometimes you gotta improvise and just use your imagination.
Also, I gotta say, the GEN 3 stock G***k 19 has gotta be one of the most reliable tools, like ever. Or it could just be that I live in California, follow all the rules, and just don’t know any better🤷🏻‍♂️

“They” say never back straight up, or try to avoid back peddling. Makes sense. And we try to train moving laterally or at an angle if we can. But I think back peddling is almost instinctual to a degree. And I come across a lot of people that I’ve never pressed their trigger as fast as they can. I realize that most ranges won’t allow that, and that’s something that you need to train. You need to be able to get rapid fire hits on target while moving if possible. Because with a true adrenaline dump, you very well might be pressing that trigger at 200% without realizing it!

This gun feels massive😂😜😂
Who the hell carries a big ass gun with an exposed holster?? It’s like cheating!!
