CELL CQB 2022 - Moment from a class

PLUG AND PLAY
Its cool to meet ‘’old’’ students and run randomly a two man clearing in a place we have not been to. What's more cool is to see how things go smoothly. Especially after a long time we didn't saw each other.
But that's how the ITCQB system is. Once you get it, its plug and play.
That’s the point with tactics. You want to reduce risk to mission or force by creating relevant tactics, but you want to do it contextually and simply.
Simple means the dependency of the tactics on training time, skill and resources required to make it happen, beyond the standards we set.
I believe tactics have several tests. Reality, behavior and the training that occur prior to both. The ability to create simple tactics, which can be done deliberately or during ad hoc like situations, is key.

Eli, your CQB vids have improved my Ready or Not gameplay so much, I am now much more efficient in room clearing, no more dynamic rambo entries. Appreciate your content.

[@clinchdev]

Check out my Ready or Not videos! 🤙

That last flow down the hallway with opposing doors, and your guy’s movements…..*Chef’s Kiss.* Fantastic work as always.

[@joecap1579]

The ones they blew right by and didnt clear? After going thru every room methodically then just blow past 2 doors striaght into more doors

[@Ronin-Ben]

@@joecap1579 everything is context driven, and if you’ve trained this method long enough you could gather the methodical clears and entries were for the angles that needed to be cleared. The shoulder checks and snap outs while passing the thresholds moving down the hall looked like small rooms that could be cleared without entry. Thus, there is no reason to waste momentum or time entering a small room that you cleared from the 45/90 angle.

The discipline is beautiful. Never once we either of you over exposed, never once did either of you move without full coverage from the other side. Brilliant. Non of this is for show. Simply born and developed in the nastiest situations. Thanks for the video.

[@notsaucy4878]

thank you eli for everything you do man, peace and love.

[@N7_Matsura]

Chefs kiss. Beautiful weapon handling and movement.

[@fl_protection]

Great video guys. Keep up the training. 🤙

[@ekzoskelitN]

Props for the phonk backtrack 🔥

[@blkstang4830]

I’d like to hear the reason for some of the movement. I get with a 2 man search you’re going to have dropped angles, but some of the dropped angles seemed unnecessary. 🤷🏼‍♂️ always looking to learn.

[@AL-lf8kb]

Great vid! I'm suprised you posted that since it really shows a lot of the ITCQB system. At least if you have the necessary background knowledge to analyse it properly

[@rc-pm1fe]

Looking good

Top notch as always.

Hey Eli I know it doesn't count for airsoft BB's but how do you deal with the fact that you can shoot through walls?

[@ItsIntelligent]

Lots of goodies here to dissect

[@ibramguirguis]

Smooth.... ...

[@pttzielsky3670]

Please give us material about shield tactics !

[@tangomantactical]

Awesome!!!!! But never forget. 223/556 goes threw walls with ease. Caves in Kandahar? No. Semper Fi

[@Health_1st_myfriend]

What is the sign language when you push the weapon barrel forward and aft in short burst at the threshold while the other guy points the barrel down ?

[@joshconcepcion8112]

I believe it's to signal that he intends to enter the room first. Barrel down means he will let his partner enter first.

collapse those stocks in tight areas for better movement

Why is your gun pointed at the ground in the doorway?

Whacky weapon manipulation

[@gunnar4554]

Why is he peaking a door without a gun in the fight at 0:40 - I'm obviously not a soldier, but isn't it pretty fundamental that you shouldn't be peering around thresholds without a gun in the fight. So what if he spots a threat, he is completely vulnerable with no ability to affect the situation. The other operator who pied the door as he flipped to the other side has seen most of the room, why are you peaking without a gun in the fight? I've listened to dozens of conversations from elite military operators who all say the exact same thing with the highest emphasis they can put on it, and that is: "Do not pause in the threshold". Don't stand in the door way, get through it fast. Otherwise you are holding up the stack and you are in the fatal funnel, yet here you constantly see pausing in the threshold. This just runs so counter to a bunch of really fundamental principles of CQB, which are held up as laws.

[@Kiwi00037]

His whole methodology is different my dude. He is doing what is called sliced-based entry, which is opposite to the old school dynamic entries. I can highly recommend watching his video series on UF pro called , Pros Guide to CQB. There he explains the reasons for why sliced-based is at most times the most advantageous entry method. I would say that there are two key points that make slice-based the better approach. First, it leverages hardcoded human survival instinct, while dynamic does not. E.g. you enter a room, trigger it and a dude response by spraying his uzi into the breach point. Here, with dynamic you would have been taught to never stop the train, and as such end up with a bunch of guys dead. Instead, your natural survival instinct in such a case, would be to flinch and bail back, thus saving you and your buddies. Second key point is, why expose yourself to 100 % danger and uncertainty instantly as you do with dynamic by running in the room. In doing so, you also require a heavy amount of information processing to be done in a split second by your brain. Instead, why not instead mitigate risk by incrementally exposing yourself. In doing so, you will have 90 % control and 10 % uncertainty (usually corners) when entering a room, which is much easier for your brain to process.

[@mike8386]

Most Vets are taught outdated and old SOP's. Sliced entries are much better nowadays and people usualy throw the concept of "fatal funnel" without actually understanding how it works. He explains it in his CQB series.

[@tHaH4x0r]

@@mike8386 Not a professional, but I tend to disagree, and probably so does Eli reading from his blog. Dynamic entry based methods that you guys are referring to, are still as relevant as before. The problem is not with dynamic entries persé are 'wrong' or 'bad', but the mistake lies in when/how they are applied. If you have the element of surprise and overwhelming force it is advantageous to use. However, if the enemy knows you are coming it is best to control the room as much as possible from outside before gaining entry (and during the process of making entry those dynamic rules again would apply).

[@mike8386]

@@tHaH4x0r I never said dynamic entries are completely useless, they have their time and place (like Eli says in one of his CQB vids) but unless theres a specific reason to use it, deliberate entries are safer and more natural for human instincts. You can use hybrids which is what IDF is using when going dynamic.
