Let's Talk Shooting Stances With DJ Shipley of GBRS

[@peterdragon6367]

DJ is the type of guy you’re glad to have on your team and not on the enemy’s team

[@James_Edward59]

He’s definitely that guy everyone wanted to pick first to be on their team lol even Robert O’Neil said he was so happy when they were picking guys from Green Team and the first guy didn’t pick him to be on his squadron so Rob got to pick him to be on his Squadron.

[@RJGuitz]

He's the guy your girl tells you not to worry about.

None of this posturing to present and square up plates helps civilians. They need to show civilians how to use cover and get small instead if presenting armor we don't have.

I’m blown away by the similarities in theses techniques and martial arts. Any good martial artist or fighter knows footwork is everything. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised the same is true for shooting and tactics. Great content!

[@jaybar33]

Footwork is key for darn near everything as I’m learning!

There's nothing new here. It's marksmanship fundamentals presented like they uncovered the secrets of the pyramids.

[@gw1357]

It shouldn't be surprising at all. Gun fighting is a martial art.

[@svdagoat7972]

yeah i noticed that from the start of the video when he was explaining the foot placement and stance was very similar to what they teach you in boxing keeping your toes forward etc.

[@donniepenix1333]

As a career police officer, SWAT Operator and Sniper, I love the knowledge transfer. Your explanation of shooting stance makes me rethink everything that I am used to doing. Makes absolute sense and as stated below, I feel like a new shooter. Keep it up gentlemen, amazing content and direction.

[@deepc3924]

But you’re still open to learning and that’s what makes you great at your job I’m sure.

[@silvermediastudio]

You are the victim of institutional inbreeding. Instructors who have taught what they were taught, because that's how it was done. Meanwhile, the basics of human movement have been known for decades. What's funny is that guys who were in GWOT think they discovered the Americas when they get out and present to civilians what they learned. Meanwhile, we've been doing this shit for the same decades in competition and elsewhere. It's pretty funny how the gov't and military are still decades behind the regular world and don't even realize it. All the "modern" shooting styles that SOF use, came from civilian competition shooting in the 1990s. The military, even SEALS/DELTA/whatever, didn't invent or pioneer any of it.

[@maverick4225]

Doesn't get any better watching techniques of spec ops guys who have been in the thick of it. Enjoyed Shawn Ryan's episodes with Mr. Shipley and Mr. Glover. May we never forget the sacrifices both have made for all of us and our great country.

You guys make it so simple and "easy"... but also a reminder NOT to skip leg day. :) Thanks for the education.

[@geraldwest3428]

Amazing how this turns out to be the basic proper empty hand fighting form we were trained in, bow stance. Also note how you can easily transition in this stance, about face, by merely pivoting on the balls of your feet. Training this stance repeatedly by properly advancing forward and reverse transitioning left and right 10,000 times or until it no longer requires conscience effort. Excellent video, thanks!

[@mik1037]

All my old front kick techniques coming back to me with this. These guys are awesome!

[@andyleblanc1564]

Great stance tip! What’s just as important is the other tip your giving us to not stop learning. If you Mike can learn something about your shooting stance than we all out here in the interweb world can definitely learn as well!! Thanks Mike and DJ!

[@KCnoSurrender]

Loving DJ and Mike’s ability to articulate the instruction. Well done, gentlemen.

[@NotThatGuyPal.]

As a boxer all this posture and footwork talk makes ALOT of sense. Footwork is the key to most everything in boxing and I’ve found it similar with shooting.

[@willybingusthealien]

I was a wrestler, and an amateur mma fighter before i joined the army. It translates almost exactly.

[@damianschultz6445]

This is what we teach our fighters, I’ve been fighting for many years and coaching, we teach them to fight how they walk and to drop into their stance, I’ve been applying this to my own shooting and it does help 100%

A million reps of walking…. Just the dry fire practice with this feels right, can’t wait to take it to the range. Keep the content coming guys, thanks for sharing. 🍻

[@Jason1087870]

I've been using this stance ever since GBRS was still the three of them. I've taken a few classes in my area, and a lot of instructors are still old school. They all want me to square up, both feet under shoulders, lean forward, and throw my hands out as if touching the target. I feel so unstable doing this. The second I switch back to the "boxer" stance, I feel so much more stable and have better control.

[@ratta_tat]

Interesting. I train my apprentices to do everything we do exactly the same way. If you train yourself with discipline, no matter the application, the moment you have an error or mistake, you'll know immediately. My old coach had a saying. "Practice makes permanent." Thanks guys!

[@JoeyOutlaw]

The knowledge being shared here is priceless!!! I def downloaded this video

[@TheDarthsteve316]

So I've watched a few different videos on stance and grip tonight before this popped up in my feed, and this is one that felt completely intuitive before going back to the range. It was like every cue from weightlifting or bjj or wrestling clicked while watching. Good stuff.

[@derrickwalker538]

Absolutely solid fellas!!! What a simple way to teach for advanced movements regardless if it’s sending a round, throwing a punch! Just awesome guys!!

[@racerdude888]

I've been teaching this stance for about 5 years but this is a far better explanation than I have come up with. Always good to hear it from the pros that do this every day. The only thing I can add is using natural point of aim by adjusting your toes left or right slightly to center the shot. After a few weeks of practice it will come natural and you wont even realize you're doing it. Great stuff as usual

[@silvermediastudio]

Yeah apparently dudes from SOF with decades in SEAL Teams and ODAs never learned skeleton support and natural point of aim. About time they caught up on 100+ year old marksmanship fundamentals hahahhahahaa

Thank you gentlemen, you make America a better place to live and learn. Life is precious and so is self defense mechanics and movement. The firearms handling posture is similar to that of Shukokai Karate. Most likely many other martial arts.

[@percisionshot4331]

I’ve been shooting professionally for 30+ years in LEO and thought of myself as a very good shooter. I’m retired now, but I will be incorporating this stance and movement into my training. This totally makes sense but has never been taught before. It was always square up on your target.

Indicative of the truly elite in any discipline, like combat, dance, art, anything - the best can always admit that they are still learning and are able to kill ego to learn new ways from others who motivate them. Much respect. Some of the most accomplished people I’ve met don’t like being called a “master” because to them “mastery” means they’ve reached the end of the learning path.

[@arapahoetactical7749]

Outstanding! I've been teaching these techniques for decades as an AF CATM instructor but you describe it much better and give reasons for the leg positioning that I'd not heard of before. I like how you describe the position as being loaded or ready for movement, to get off the X. So many instructors teach shooting as a static thing, but a gun fight is a very dynamic environment full of movement. I've shared this video on my MEWE group, "Concealed Carry Issues." MEWE is like facebook but for those of us who embrace both the first and second amendments. Thanks for a great video and I salute your service.

[@ImArchangelMichael]

13:53 the stance DJ is in right here is perfect. In martial arts this is known and planting your foot to the center of the earth. It’s extremely hard for someone to push you off balance so this makes perfect sense with firearms. In Aikido they refer to this as part of the dynamic sphere. (Physics) In fact if you take this stance and have it down pat… you can have a friend stand in front of you and take pretty much any stance and you can use a single finger to throw them off balance by barely even applying pressure to your friend.

I've always used a modified boxing stance. I boxed for 4 years, and the foot placement and center of balance is good, but the chin tuck isn't conducive for shooting. So I modify from the chest up for consistency, but still use the wider foot placement and semi-squat stance. I've also never been in the military so 🤷‍♂️

[@KNOCKOUT-CREW]

Outstanding passdown. The Martial Arts “Front Stance” makes a lot of sense for having the best body mechanics when you present and send them rounds down range.
