Should you Train CQB as a Civilian? (With Kyle Morgan & Blake Cook)

[@jonathanvelez4385]

When Kyle speaks after all the years he has of experience, people should listen. Watched his interview with Shawn Ryan and Kyle is an amazing, American hero!

[@eotechinc]

Kyle really is a great dude and wealth of information.

[@goldrush49]

100%

[@goldengoat1737]

Strait up! Kyle just seems like a really good dude all around! Kind, humble and a complete bad ass

[@mk3vr666]

I like that they train civilians but With all do respect, militia has nothing to with “cult family”. The militia act states who are the militia and the people are part of it. Cqb should be a part of the tool box for being a modern minuteman. Shouldn’t treat the word militia like it’s a bad thing. “A militia when properly formed are in fact the people themselves…and include, according to the past and general usuage of the states, all men capable of bearing arms… “To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them.” - Richard Henry Lee, Federal Farmer No. 18, January 25, 1788

[@kamikazelyricist1563]

A civilian should be able to learn whatever they wish. This is America isnt it? 🇺🇸

[@eotechinc]

Thats right!

[@ecobasetech4558]

It won't be if a certain VP gets installed as the new President.

[@kamikazelyricist1563]

@ecobasetech4558 very true unfortunately

[@Killa91115]

I need to teach my wife how to cook then.

[@kamikazelyricist1563]

@Killa91115 ummm ok. Sure. Lol

[@NaterTaterOutdoors]

Taking a CQB course changed how I do things when it comes to security. I took notes so I could reflect back on what was taught. It’s not always just a room clearing course. It’s a course that teaches mindset and tactics to live.

[@Goodlife710]

Blake and Kyle are 2 of the most all around genuine people I’ve come across in life. Took a 3 day course with them and it was exactly how they just described. It was a great weekend filled with knowledge, laughs/smiles and growth.

[@eotechinc]

They really are some of the best guys around, we are honored to work with them.

[@Solly1984]

This was an outstanding 35 minutes. Kyle and Blake talking about all of us growing together is very encouraging. Thanks for putting this out Eotech. Maybe one of these days I’ll convert over from Aimpoint 😉

[@Aaron-ed2rb]

To expand on the “Why learn this”; I discovered when I started skydiving and inoculated myself to stress, that my daily life got easier. Everything is easier with perspective. Being able to hold it together under a time limit, with consequences, and with people watching is valuable.

[@kelseydobson942]

First😂 in all honestly the ‘why’ Kyle puts forward is an awesome perspective

[@eotechinc]

Yes indeed!

[@paddywestside1419]

Absolute legends! Haven't seen much from Blake, but Kyles content is always on point.

[@JIW229]

Loved what you guys talked about! So true about everything it’s amazing how much of an eye opener everything is. The fundamentals the purpose. Everything. I have only had a few training classes but not CQB. One day I will have the extra cash to fly out and take some of those classes. Specially since I live in CALI

[@philholloway8899]

As fellow LE to Blake, what he is telling you is absolutely true regarding Police and response times. Most of us will try to get there as quickly as we can, but given staffing, it’s unknown how many can respond. Anything you can do to prepare yourself to survive the moment is to your advantage. As far as 911 calls go, generally, Police respond to 911 hang ups. So unless that’s different where you live don’t worry too much about staying on the line if more important tasks need to be dealt with. If you’re on a mobile just get out your location as the phone gps can take a dump.

[@JAEZAI1]

To know now that Blake was standing there by the GRACE of God using Kyle unbeknownst to him gives me chills.

[@wildcat8598]

The fact we’re even asking the question if it’s “okay” for civilians to learn and train anything is the problem. The people who think they should gatekeep anything is wrong in itself. When you think of all the oathbreakers in this country who are ready and willing to go up against civilians when their elite masters order them to do so should tell any and everyone that all civilians should be training in all aspects they possibly can in firearms and medical training. That “paranoia” you speak of is warranted these days. Anyone who can’t see that is either blind or they’re a schill to the government most times for monetary reasons sadly.

[@forgedinfidel6951]

This is the real deal! Thanks fellas, My ears are OPEN! God bless

[@bjjmonster25]

Soild dudes , luv the message u guys deliver. I have Had 4 no shit brake in’s in 3 years on Long Island. I promise 1 thing. If I didn’t train everyday, 10000% I would’ve made a mistake, that could’ve cost me my life. Blu bearing Patreon with every red cent. See u boys soon down there 💪🇺🇸💪.

[@JADINM011]

Wow. This is an amazing video! Great questions & and answers. I'm very glad I ran into the interview with Kyle and Shawn Ryan, bringing me to Blu Bearing you guys are great. I can't wait to get my first rifle and train for those that i love until i turn 21(I'm 18). In the meantime, I am growing closer to God.

[@eotechinc]

That is the way to do it! Keep going and never give up!

[@JADINM011]

@eotechinc Don't gotta be 21 to get an EXPS3-0 to save so I can. 🌟accessorize🌟 my rifle with my eotech when I do turn 21 lol

[@hellomyride7793]

Unfortunately it’s very important to train together. We forget many civilians have law enforcement or military training also. The importance of backup is immense ‼️ Now we generally know Police usually come after the situation and if alive ?? Then explain to Officers of what’s taking place.

[@pizzacrust7029]

I don’t see why people are saying Kyle is programmed to think militias are bad. He never once said that. He just expressed that cqb is to protect your unit not to train breaching houses because civilians won’t be breaching houses. They’ll be protecting themselves most likely in their home. Seems like he is more mission specific for civs than teaching how to assault a target which makes perfect sense to me. The dudes called him government programmed are wild and gotta bring it down a notch

[@UnitedTowerclimber]

My dad was military and LE for 30 years and said he was always told that they were the first line of defense. He always told me it wasn’t true. The civilians are the first line of defense if you really think about it. My Dad and all my brothers train every weekend

[@mrwayne5158]

CQB should be a standard known practice as it gives civilians able to be useful in a combat situation.

[@the-sj3vq]

They both freaking look like, behave like, carry themselves like, exist like the definition of Delta Force operators.. please more content with them dear Eotech I bought your 3x magnifier 🙏🙏🙏

[@georgeblanchardjr]

[@nathanielmoore9627]

What’s wrong with being in a militia or advocating for them? I’m not in a militia I just find that comment odd. Overall still love the work you guys do and keep it up.

[@ecobasetech4558]

Because there are some states that have or are coming up with laws that don't allow the forming of a militias. Also, some (usually the polical far left) may view training a "militia" as a far right wing threat or a indication of a planned attempt to overthrow the government

I don’t understand the hate for a militia. I am not a part of one. In fact I doubt my state of Marxachusetts even has one. However, in this day and age we actually might need them soon unfortunately. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with people starting a militia. I don’t get the hate on them.

Kyle was a govt paid employee who was taught militia are bad.

I hear Morgan keep mentioning that the training his courses give out isnt meant for a militia. There's nothing wrong with having or forming a militia does he consider this?

[@ILruffian]

He's got to cover himself against possible prosecution by the feds. Regrettably, it's the political environment we live in.

[@TheMSValley]

I’m curious how you got to this question? He was pretty clear about militia and the sort.

[@oscarmike7980]

If it can help people then it should be taught and learned. The citizens have been learning anything and everything. Nothing wrong with that. Do it.
