I’ll start with mine to give you an example of what I am looking for.

In order:

1. The gun (rifle, pistol, and shotgun) - handling, tactics, shooting.
2. Physical strength and conditioning.
3. Knife work- the drawstroke under assault and simple tactics are most important to me.
4. HTH- Striking first then grappling (mostly striking since none of my training partners like to wrestle).

The majority of my training is really concentrated on the first two because my time availability is limited.

Gun training-

1. Dry fire- (at home) practicing the drawstroke from concealment, principles of marksmanship, malfunction clearance procedures, quick reloads (empty mag of course), transitioning from rifle to pistol, etc.
2. Solo airsoft drills- dynamic drills and footwork with the arisoft in the garage…everything that is done on the range in live fire exercise is done with the airsoft at home. This also includes combatives.
3. Range- then I take it to the range verifying what I’ve done at home with dry fire and solo airsoft drills is working at the range.
4. Finely, I get together with someone usually one or more of my training partners and put it all together in force on force drills using the airsoft to simulate real world fights. This also includes combatives.

Since almost all gunfights are ambush situations where one is either initiating an ambush or responding to it (hopefully by preempting it) after the gun handling skills I prioritize”

1. Gun handling.
2. Reactionary gunfighting.
3. Combatives.
4. Then proactive gunfighting.

Skills:

Gun handling:

1. The drawstroke.
2. The retention drawstroke.
3. Non-diagnostic malfunction clearance.
4. Speed reload.
5. Tactical reload.
6. Transitioning from rifle to pistol.

Reactionary skills:

1. The sight and drawstroke progression.
2. Get off the X footwork from a non-ready/startle position and from varying distances and orientations to the threat.
3. Angles of movement appropriate to the distance I am from the threat.
4. Running and gunning- combat accuracy making centerline hits with dynamic movement.

* I often employ multiple opponent situations in both airsoft and live fire exercises and I shoot in low light as often as I can.

Combatives:

1. Anaerobic conditioning.
2. Striking (straight forward and drive by attacks) on my spar pro that leads to the gun draw.
3. Disarms with training partners (and follow-ups procedures).

Proactive skills:

1. Precision shooting (Marksmanship).
2. Long range shooting, first without the use of optics then with optics.
3. Shooting from different positions- prone, sitting, kneeling, etc.
4. Moving from barricade to barricade.

What are you priorities and if you would can you give us a brief description of how you train?
