Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Nice find Bear thanks for posting. KM, also Escrima~Kali~"stick" and/or Pentjak Silat-ey techniques maybe?

Great now I feel guilty, it's been too long since I did any kind of training.
Ditto.. I had a car wreck that kinda put an end to it for me... I ought to see if I can't still do some stuff, been a few years. I need to just workout period.
Speaking of sights, I had a personal revelation last year and I never asked people on the board to try it.
With your gun empty, try drawing from your holster at a target, and point at the target with your trigger finger. What I mean is, since your trigger finger is supposed to be straight against the frame of the gun, try drawing and physically pointing your finger at whatever your target is. For me, I find that I am always MUCH closer to already being on sight than if I just try to point the gun at the target. This probably doesn't apply to people like Hoser and Cha-lee that do competitive shooting all the time and have already learned this skill in a manner that fits them. I've only done two competitive shoots so I'm far from being able to draw and fire with any sense of accuracy.
Try it out with different pieces and let me know what you think.
"There are no finger prints under water."
Interesting... I'd never thought of it that way (Like a kid playing toy gun with his fingers) Fortunately this is already a habit I formed with gun handling and drawing my gun.
I have practiced that using an airsoft gun. Hang a sheet from the ceiling, and tape your target to the sheet. It's good to get the feel of it. It's is much different than the real thing, weight, recoil, etc. But I am convinced it has helped me out with point shooting.
Don't forget your eyeballs though. Oh, and my buddy says his wife hates having those airsoft pellets go through the vaccum.
Here is my first contribution to the self-defense thread.

"There are no finger prints under water."
Mugger - (runs up and tapes his arm to Stu's) "Give me your wallet"
Stu - (turns to lady friend) "stand back baby, I've been trained for this"
I was watching that video wondering, "Who the hell uses a punching bag to warm up for an arm wrestling match?"
"There are no finger prints under water."
did someone say Kali? Escrima Sticks? I'll play... couple year old picture... belt rank is higher now... one of my favorite things... Escrima
Congrats on the promotions(s). Have you gotten taller too? Oh wait, you're on the right...
JK... Yeah that was me. I loved kali but it's been a lonnnnnng time. Would you mind posting where you train here, thoughts on the school etc? Feel free to PM me about that if you'd prefer, either way I'd appreciate knowing where it's offered locally.
For those unfamiliar with these styles, a major benefit of stick training is that on the street, many of the techniques easily carry over to whatever's at hand. The "stick" can be an umbrella, tire iron, piece of pipe, cane, rolled up newspaper/magazine, snow scraper, an actual stick or branch off the ground etc.
Really fun disarms -- I remember one where, if done right, you tie up the other guy's lead arm & stick such that simply straightening your own arm sends their stick spinning out of their hand. At one point I made a purposefully oversized/heavy set of sticks out of bird's eye maple for training. Still have one, bro has the other.
