Talk Back to MeI find it unabashedly funny when people argue passionately over what they should or shouldn't train, especially when we all know neither party is practicing what they preach. The drama over such low hanging fruit cannot be allowed to go to waste, so in this episode we are addressing one formula for ensuring that you're excellent at the fundamentals, and capable in rare, but potentially disastrous situations. The 80/20 rule applies to more than just training, but in this case we are looking at it in a more narrow sense to improve the little time that we do have to get more done. Use Code 2025deaddrop10 for 10% off your order at obsidianarms.comThis episode has been sponsored by Obsidian Arms, a manufacturer of tools, parts and firearms, as well as operating as an OEM shop for those looking to bring excellence to the market.

What does Ontology have to do with training? While we might fall into the trap of thinking that Military Training is similar to what is available to civilians, only on a greater level. If that were the case, wouldn't we seen more capabilities opening up for the discerning citizen? We've come a long way, but where's the limit?Ontology is the philosophical study of being, which deals with categories. Through this lens, we can look at the types of courses and schools military and law enforcement attend exist in a different category than what is commonly available to citizens.

The Law Tactical Folder might just be one of the best pieces of gear when it comes to quality of life for the Citizen. The Law Tactical ARIC goes a step further, expanding the capabilities of the platform. But how well does it work? And, perhaps more importantly, who is it for? The Law Tactical ARIC or AR Integrated Carrier greatly reduces the weight when compared to a traditional AR Bolt Carrier. While less weight in this space can lead reduce felt recoil, there's more at stake than one or two factors. Increased wear? How quick does it foul up with carbon? Does it even function?While the line between citizen and soldier continues to blur, we see equipment like this in a unique place, where it might be better for most citizens, with less advantages given to the professional soldier.

In violence, as in war, two concept stand in tension with one another: proportionality and utility. McMahan identifies one understanding of proportionality as "a constraint on action that causes harm." (Killing in War Pg 19). Utility, on the other hand, often functions as the context for informing one part of strategy, tactics, and techniques. We prioritize actions of these sorts that produce the desired outcome.As such, the tension that exists between them is that they both must be accomplished or accommodated for the action to be considered moral, and further, both can be corrupted. Just as utility can lead to a might-makes-right worldview, and easily justify the absolute eradication of a warring people group, so the idea of proportionality is corrupted if we cease to believe some of those in conflict are less than human. One part of the solution, or the developed skill of managing this tension comes from training. As we have seen in Gun Culture, those who train are rarely, if ever, the ones who participate in senseless violence. It is the untrained, who are both quick to call for the death of their accused oppressors, and it is the untrained who respond to a smaller conflict with overwhelming force.

How to support the podcast... Buy Me a Coffee: https://combatlearning.com/support/ Zoom Workshops: https://combatlearning.com/waitlist/ --- Today I join Brian Willis on a podcast series he does for his police training website, the Excellence in Training Academy. Brian has 25 years of full time police officer experience and now 25 years of experience as a police trainer as well. He consults with trainers and training agencies through his consulting company, Winning Mind Training. Links to both websites are included in the description. Brian invited me on his show to talk about my Scalable Live Training Framework and 3D Model of Coaching. He did such a great job structuring this interview that it functions as a great introduction to both concepts. While most of my analogies are combat sports oriented, I do make some explicit connections and examples around how this framework works for defensive tactics and especially firearms training.

Welcome back to After Dark! Sometime ago I dropped episode #43 After Dark which was basically my take on evaluating the best firearms instructors in the community. Our guest Mark Ackenback ticks all the boxes. After spending two days with Mark out on the range I went through a defensive pistol and defensive carbine course and was thoroughly impressed. I previously spent one-on-one time with Mark doing some pistol work but this time around I had the opportunity to get into some of the burning questions I had. You won't know until you do but Mark is highly reputable and a highly demanded firearms instructor that I've had the absolute pleasure to learn from.Purchase Tickets At: California Range Weekendhttps://axiomtg.com/Episode Sponsor:BioProtein Technology: https://bioproteintech.com/For $30 off your order use code "IRONSIGHTS" at checkout.BioPro+ can potentially help to improve balance hormones, increase sex drive, improves insulin sensitivity, and produce increases of mitochondria and nucleic acids to create a total system modulator.

Think you're prepared for the stress of a real attack? You've probably heard of your body's "adrenal response" - the natural "fight, flight, or freeze" reaction we naturally go through when we sense danger. Freezing is going to happen... it's natural... but snapping out of it to engage your attacker with your firearm as quickly as possible is what will save your life. In this episode, my buddy, Mike Ox will share his simple 2-step "brain hack" for adding "stress shooting" to your firearms training. And the best part is, you won't even have to leave your home to do it!
