The use of Firearms is dangerous especially in a neighborhood. How do you train? There are several ways and as my business grows I will offer more Non-Live Ammunition Firearms training. Use P2P firearms in my backyard. Very similar to using a BB gun. Use non-live 1911 replica handguns in my garage. https://www.cobaltstudiosllc.com https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/asaucier777 https://www.amazon.com/s?k=gene+saucier&crid=UVNAHPYS9SHZ&sprefix=gene+saucier%2Caps%2C111&ref=nb_sb_noss

Just testing out the P2P (prepared 2 protect) handgun that fires powder, rubber and pepper type ball rounds. Weapon at close range is still deadly but P2P specifically states that it is legal in every state in the Union because it is not an actually firearm. https://www.cobaltstudiosllc.com https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/asaucier777 https://www.amazon.com/s?k=gene+saucier&crid=UVNAHPYS9SHZ&sprefix=gene+saucier%2Caps%2C111&ref=nb_sb_noss

Training the crossing stomp kick CQC - close quarter combat. The Crossing Stomp Kick is an ancient kick used in Wing Chun and many other Kung Fu arts. I use it because is a devastating kick that works well. https://www.cobaltstudiosllc.com https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/asaucier777 https://www.amazon.com/s?k=gene+saucier&crid=UVNAHPYS9SHZ&sprefix=gene+saucier%2Caps%2C111&ref=nb_sb_noss

Why? Why train this kick? For Close Quarter Combat, this kick is designed to roll the ankle, twist the knee and dislocate or at least move very violently the hip socket joint. Once an opponent is struck well, it moves their body to the left or right and exposes the side of the neck/head preparing the opponent for a devastating blow to end a fight for survival. https://www.cobaltstudiosllc.com https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/asaucier777 https://www.amazon.com/s?k=gene+saucier&crid=UVNAHPYS9SHZ&sprefix=gene+saucier%2Caps%2C111&ref=nb_sb_noss

Palm heel strikes - not your movie punches - are the safest ones to throw when defending yourself it you are striking anywhere towards the face. The bones of the face are hard. The palms are soft. Yin-Yang principle. In street fights, striking with fists towards the face especially for women and children can result in breaking the bones in the hands which brings about a swift defeat for defenders. In this video I teach a little lady to defend herself using palm heel strikes.

VIEW DISCRETION ADVISED The Lawyer, Andrew Branca, shows a real life video clip of how complying with the demands of an assailant get's two men shot and possibly murdered.

The hardest part of striking it teaching people how to be aggressive enough to strike, manhandle their opponent and get to the opponent’s 6 O’clock position.

Goal: See Target Hit Target Pass Target Takedown using sweep https://www.cobaltstudiosllc.com https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/asaucier777 https://www.amazon.com/s?k=gene+saucier&crid=UVNAHPYS9SHZ&sprefix=gene+saucier%2Caps%2C111&ref=nb_sb_noss

Elbow Strike 2 Takedown ver 2 CQC is about: 1. Getting in close to get out of hand/foot striking range 2. Taking the opponent’s base out from under them (takedowns & throws) 3. Causing damage on the way “in” to take out the opponent’s footing TACTICS: what is the defender’s goal? 1. SCREAM and Run awy if can 2. Parry and get in and take opponent’s base 3. Your Decision Determines Your Actions First - Follow through 4. Flow Like Water 5. Keep Your End Goal In Mind (Escape after Takedown) https://www.cobaltstudiosllc.com https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/asaucier777 https://www.amazon.com/s?k=gene+saucier&crid=UVNAHPYS9SHZ&sprefix=gene+saucier%2Caps%2C111&ref=nb_sb_noss

Elbow Striking 2 Takedown Vid 1 90% of all fights end up on the ground. Women ought not go toe-to-toe with men in fights. CQC means, causing great damage while looking for the opportunity to knock a guy down to the ground. How do you train that? Watch https://www.cobaltstudiosllc.com https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/asaucier777 https://www.amazon.com/s?k=gene+saucier&crid=UVNAHPYS9SHZ&sprefix=gene+saucier%2Caps%2C111&ref=nb_sb_noss

There are many ways to block kicks. For low kicks, it is best to block using knee strikes and countering off of those knee strikes. Kicks to the head require a different strategy to defend against. However, in a real fight, you never know what a kick is actually going unless it is telegraphed and you are able to read that telegraph information within 1 second. Therefore in a street fight, I have found that using the Ryu Kyu Kempo moving cover, though difficult, to be one of the best defense against all kicks. https://www.cobaltstudiosllc.com https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/asaucier777 https://www.amazon.com/s?k=gene+saucier&crid=UVNAHPYS9SHZ&sprefix=gene+saucier%2Caps%2C111&ref=nb_sb_noss

Smooth execution is what we are aiming for. Why sweep when someone pulls your wrist to punch you? It's a way to disorient your attacker and yes you must beat them to the punch. https://www.cobaltstudiosllc.com https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/asaucier777 https://www.amazon.com/s?k=gene+saucier&crid=UVNAHPYS9SHZ&sprefix=gene+saucier%2Caps%2C111&ref=nb_sb_noss

Practice Sweep 2. Same technique as vid 1 just pay attention to the placement of the feet. https://www.cobaltstudiosllc.com https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/asaucier777 https://www.amazon.com/s?k=gene+saucier&crid=UVNAHPYS9SHZ&sprefix=gene+saucier%2Caps%2C111&ref=nb_sb_noss

Practice sweeping vids 1 and 2 look similar but pay attention to the placement of the attackers feet. That is very critical so that one may practice with safety. https://www.cobaltstudiosllc.com https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/asaucier777 https://www.amazon.com/s?k=gene+saucier&crid=UVNAHPYS9SHZ&sprefix=gene+saucier%2Caps%2C111&ref=nb_sb_noss
