Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Self Defense
Thought you might enjoy this. Just watch it without sound.

Self defense is not taught very well to the masses and I think these guys showcased a decent video. You can see elements of KM form in what they do.
Thoughts? I think a self defense forum would be fun.
You and Tristan could run it. KM sounds fun and painful.

It always looks cool with willing opponents......

Stuart, it's only painful as you learn. After a few years you build up callusus and resistance to it... just like in football, or shooting elephant guns, or running a marathon, etc.
No it's only painful when you loose.
The shooting drills from 2:40-3:50 are a lot more realistic than what you can practice at most ranges- shooting a silhouette from 25' while stationary.
Can anyone tell me why they teach your how to shoot sideways like you're a gangsta! And furthermore what the advantage is of it?
From what I learned and understand is that sideways shooting has several roles. For instance, if you are able to draw but someone has you in an arm bar, you will only be able to shoot sideways, so it's good practice to "point" shoot - meaning shoot without the sights. Sometimes you might have to shoot through a narrow sideways opening. Sometimes, depending on your draw stroke it can help get off a quicker shot... Biggest advantage that I see is that it allows you more than one "form" to shoot from. Repeating basics is great but if you always repeat the same setup (straight stance, shoulders back, arms straight, feet shoulder length apart, both hands on gun, etc) you get a littel rigid in what you can and can't do. You don't have a chance to get "staged" when someone is running at you with a knife, so it's good to point shoot sometimes. Another reason is that if your arm is broken, you still have use of your wrist to get the radial shots whereas if you were holding straight up, you could not use your wrist to move shots...
This is just stuff off the top of my head. I have no idea if it has a practical use or not. I've seen several "in the know" folks try it though, but I've never asked why. Good question. Don't know... other thoughts?
KM = Krav Maga???
