      Move forward....not back

      As a police officer and much more as a bouncer I have studied how fast the average person becomes flustered when someone raises their voice at them. Over the years I have also done my best to control my own reaction during these situations. In an attempt to explain things I sort confrontations...

      mercop....I'm back

      Been away for minute. Modern Combative Systems is not really a thing anymore. Figured out that it is hard to make money doing realistic training where people get bumped around. Started MCS Dog Training about 4.5 years ago and have trained over 3000 dogs, specializing in aggression. 85% of...

      Mindset- Comfortable in in the chaos

      As promised I am going to start sort of an MCS Correspondence Course. This will be by way of blog posts and videos. Before we begin you need to know that I am ADD, and not just one of the people who says they are. I am diagnosed. Therefore it is likely that these posts will sometimes be...

      People don't like being told "no" & how to deal with them

      Timing and distance, moving in and to the outside

      I don't think I have ever seen a video that does a better job of showing how your body's natural compass can be a liability in a real altercation. Nor have I seen one that does such a good job of showing exactly the opposite of how we train. Humans being verbal and social creatures most often...

      How far can you carry your bag?

      I wrote this a few weeks ago. Today I did 5.5 miles with a 35 lb pack in 90 minutes. 3/30/60 is a minimum requirement. More and more I realize I am not a good as I once was. The injuries have been many, line of duty, training, martial arts, motorcycle wrecks. I feel pretty good most of the...

      Square range vs the street

      Both the FBI and NYPD did large scale studies and found that officer’s qualification scores had no correlation to their performance during shootings. Yet tons of money, ammo, and magazine space is spent of the same old two handed square range bull****. There is still a huge separation between...

      Killing sacred cows in Terre Haute

      My two favorite myths to dispel during classes are that you will have the physical ability to see your sights much less use them within 5-7 yards. The other is the 21 foot "rule", misunderstood because people see it as a gun problem and not a fighting problem. We show you how to survive within 5...

      BS and Fairy Dust- The business of making the simple complex

      Albert Einstein said- If you cannot explain it simply, then you don't understand it completely. The truth is this applies to everything, especially fighting and self defense. The problem is that there is no money keeping it simple. In classes I always tell people that if you are...

      Top 3 signs of adrenaline dump and how to manage it

      In the tactical world, there is a lot of time spent talking about the adrenaline dump that you experience during a real life or death situation. Lots of that is dedicated to listing the changes that will occur in your body. A principle belief of MCS is that you are far more likely to get...

      Probabilities vs Possibilities

      The other night the wife and I stopped by the local bookstore and I figured I would get my blood pressure to spike by looking at all the gun/knife/tactikewl magazines. The above magazine was in the front of the pack. The best way to cause inaction, no matter what the task, is to overwhelm...

      Teaching people to shoot like their life depends on it PART I

      During the Obama administration more and more people are not only purchasing firearms, but in places like Illinois, carrying them for the first time. Most of these shooters, like the vast majority of people who currently own and carry firearms, will not pursue initial or ongoing training...
