Explosive Movements with a Carbine - Haley Strategic

Thank you to Haley Strategic for allowing me to post these videos. This was filmed in the D5 Carbine course. I highly recommend the course.
In this video, Jared explains how to perform explosive movements with a carbine. However, the principles could apply to a pistol as well.
Please practice appropriate safety measures when performing any drills or handling firearms.

He is wrong about the drop step. Your stance (ideally) should allow you to explode off the line in any direction at any time without having to drop step. Look up running back, defensive backs and linebacker drills. Wrestlers are also very familiar with why the drop step can get you messed up in a hurry. You're shifting the whole of your momentum in the opposite direction you want to go and is a really bad habit to get into especially once fatigue sets in. A drop step on a wet or rocky slope is a quick way to get some summer teeth.

[@shofardefense]

I agree for the most part. It's definitely best to be able to push off without adjustment.

[@bks6095]

Ahhh... Do you understand this is Travis Haley speaking here..?? Do u understand that he's put in 20yrs+ in special operations..? I love it when "a person on the internet" whilst sitting on his behind, proceeds to explain to a real-life, real-world operator how (wrong) he is about matters related to warfare. I mean... imagine the ignorance...

[@apersonontheinternet8006]

@@bks6095 and? Nice appeal to authority but that doesn't change the fact that he is still wrong. The drop step slows you down, take away from energy off the line and will get you hurt on uneven, wet or rocky terrain where wars tend to be fought. Exploding off of the balls of your feet takes practice but will always beat the drop step in both speed and power. The drop step has to overcome momentum to change direction and leaves you basically standing there for a half second. In football the only time we RBs really use the drop step is on timing plays, you're waiting for the fullback to hit the hole or guard to pull and it gives the big boys the extra half second to get to where they need to be. An open step is different because even though you are frozen in space it is the fastest way to open the hips for lateral direction change otherwise you are running in arcs. It's biomechanics.

GBRS has a great video on stance and why they stand the way they do

Jesus this was cringe. If you guys drop the attitude and stop with all the questions that you only have one specific answer to, you can probably get more information passed to the students and manage your class time more efficiently by getting straight into the practical application portion. You would of definitely lost me within the first few minutes. If you just want to teach someone how to get off the X using a specific moving technique that you find more efficiently, then just show it once and get into it. Looks like every gun instructor now a days is definitely milking and over analyzing every single little detail when most of it is unnecessary minutiae. I hope no one payed for this.

[@shofardefense]

You seriously wrote a whole paragraph to complain about someone not getting to the point? Hilarious irony

[@Redpitbull44]

@@shofardefense On point. But that children's TV show method of asking a question so the class can guess muddies the water. Same as telling everyone what not to do. Establish fundamentals. Focus on the technique. Perform the demonstration. Let them try it. Correct mistakes by reinforcing what they're supposed to do. Build on that.

So funny reading these comments wherein a "person on the internet" proceeds to explain to us (idiots) how "wrong" Mr. Travis Haley is regarding his advice & instruction on the topic of movement in combat... What does a veteran special operator, a retired (20yr) Force Reconnaisance marine, know about this combat and movement stuff anyways.... 🤔

[@shofardefense]

It is pretty comical.

[@thisissparta8884]

I love how guys always ask the group the question. If they knew all that shit would they be there?

[@kellerhopkins3184]

how old is this guy and what is his work out routine!?

[@kellerhopkins3184]

im 34 195 lbs and about 17% body fat and look in shape but there's no way id be able to do what hes doing and walk the next day. dude looks like his at least 10 years older then me and like sprinting around crashing to the ground like its no big deal at all. my ribs would be all jacked up shoulders and neck and knees getting all jacked up. I could crash down a hillside from a mountain bike crash and jump right top no problem at 25 but not today after only like 6 years in the trades! I want to know his work out routine and like any tips hes got on having a body that can take that and keep on tickin.

[@shofardefense]

I believe he's in his upper 40's. I don't know his workout routine, but he's definitely active. Those crashes into the ground had to be rough. That ground was like concrete. It was definitely impressive.

[@highonbusa6520]

@@bravo6959 Not so much his engagement tactics on the move but his feet work( lower body movement) skipping and hopping around IMO it is not moving with a purpose. You turn your hips and aiming your feet in the direction you are attempting to move… moving with purpose will save your life. Jumping around using your whole buddy to make a step not being able to stay on target is NOT the way to stay in control in a bad situation…
