Damn, I thought I was a shooting nerd. She researched economy of motion and actually tested it to confirm. Badass.

[@deathlis]

There's always a bigger nerd.

[@billstevens5277]

World IPSC champion Matt McLearn used to teach this stuff in the 90's.

[@whitepawn2593]

Excellent instruction. Realistic, broken down and explained in simple terms, presented incrementally, summarized succinctly. 👍🏼

[@jiveturkey713]

"Well yeah this is nothing new" see alot of people commenting that on here. Grip, sight alignment/picture and trigger control are nothing new either, but they are fundamental skills that everyone should learn. How is this any different?

[@copperhead06]

Excellent! Love to see people promoting and engaging in this type of training! Awesome Kita!

[@winstonsmiths2449]

We do not often think about it, but this stuff makes sense! Footwork is critical to good move in any physical activity.

[@theonlyDougBlack]

I love tips that I can do in my backyard! Thanks!

[@nate2838]

Its taken me a long time to learn the value of nuances, and even longer to understand and apply said nuances to tasks. Having someone bring the attention to those nuances, demonstrate them and explain the value and application of them is incredibly valuable and drastically accelerates the learning process. Very well done. Thanks for sharing.

[@thinman8621]

Well thought out, helpful information. Thanks

[@williamjohnston3770]

Great info and video. Thanks

[@keithi2613]

Wow - awesome video. And not only applicable to shooting. 🙂

[@raptordc5]

Loved this podcast.

[@davidlyell8544]

I've taken 2 classes with Kita and she knows her stuff. She's helped me tremendously with moving while shooting!

[@EricDaMAJ]

Nice. I will have to try those techniques.

[@BrendanFoeryMusic]

This is excellent info!!!

[@robertor.6942]

Solid information!

[@slapout9]

Well done!

[@mbarnes297]

Reminds me of the footwork I learned for tennis

[@longgone9869]

Very interesting and I was wondering when they were going to start incorporating this into shooting. I remember having this conversation two years ago when I trained with Dave Spaulding in Fort Collins Colorado. There’s a method to the madness when it comes to moving.

[@Trad6166]

Nice video

[@saviinicole2200]

This is so helpful !!! Thank you

[@evachier]

Good stuff, thanks for sharing

[@gen3kali877]

I no longer have the book, but an old school football instruction manual recommended talking a drop step to ensure you have the most advantages pursuit angle.

[@mojxng114]

great video, wait what was it about again

[@RodCornholio]

Need videos, not books. Will pay for it.

[@johntoothman4888]

Ok, pretty cool!! Something new to try!! Great video! Thank you!

[@johnathandickinson6904]

Those leggings add extreme credibility to the John wick level she does movement like a Doctor excellent video & intelligence.

[@andychanny]

Thank god, not another gear setup or war stories video.

[@pat4145]

loved it !! is that a cz orange ? yipeekiya kita !!

[@markmarcantonio5808]

Good info for those not familiar. Pretty much basics movements in Football- especially linemen and DBs. I know not all have spent thousand of hours of practicing/ coaching it like some of us have.

[@jameszannetti5062]

hahaha

[@jeremiahh5838]

Lmao…….. wow

[@nate2838]

Like you said, cross application is great for those who have relevant backgrounds like sports and martial arts. For those who don't, or haven't taken the time to adapt their background, this information is incredibly valuable. There is so much to train in handling firearms and handling firearms for defense that having a breakdown of the skills and application helps accelerate the learning process and gives people an avenue of progression once they have the basic firearms handling down.

[@ReelissuesTV]

Wow this is great, learned a lot!

[@savage22bolt32]

Awesome presentation of some valuable information!

[@bradyreitz9398]

Appreciate the well presented information on a topic area seldom discussed.

[@Kimchi_Studios]

This channel is probably suppressed. Should be at 500k+ at this rate.

[@Ramcharger2Travel]

Very Cool, thanks for sharing 👍.

[@runny_eggz]

Great info - a good reminder to think about feet now and then. Very succinct and to the point.

[@sargkookie3118]

I would recommend in the "exit shooting position" to rather than step in wrong direction to lock that left leg and bend your right one. Launch after your weight drops with the right leg

[@sargkookie3118]

Hopefully that makes sense. I've tried your method in cqb training and literally launched myself out of cover because of a shell casing on the ground .

[@deathlis]

@@sargkookie3118 Marbles, Legos and Casings - archenemy of feet everywhere!

[@pmular]

But that requires greater muscle exertion versus mechanics.

[@wilbo3376]

Kind of like base running/stealing drills in baseball

[@SheepDogNumber6]

Good stuff.

[@crankymcgee]

Has anyone gotten her book? It sounds intriguing but for $40 I’m hesitant. It’s self-published and I haven’t heard of her outside KZbin

[@notyou2935]

I've had it for quite some time. I constantly refer back to it. There's so much good info in there it's easy to forget what's actually there.

[@briancunningham3283]

God bless America

[@bryans.7370]

Very well done. Do you have classes around Wisconsin

[@Terryo6781]

Did kita learn this from Ben stoger?

[@AOMartialArts]

Clearly articulated concepts but not exactly new or game changing concepts here. 10/10 for delivery though. Would listen to more of her insight on better shooting (especially on the move).

[@deathlis]

Not necessarily new, but so much economy of movement in shooting overlaps with a lifetime of ingrained motor control, and many often don't even consider training basic biomechanics - people are often so focused on practicing movements specific to firearms that they never even consider something so fundamental.

[@jfkbro7875]

She literally says she’s taken multiple ideas and amalgamated them for her lessons and philosophies. So yes, nothing new

[@seanoneil277]

Agreed, Rob. But Kita doesn't need to be offering "game-changing" or "new concept" ideas in order to be an effective, excellent teacher. Great teachers help you LEARN. It's SALESMEN that focus on "game-changing" or "new concepts" ideas, and salesmen aren't known for their educational skills. They're known for their ability to make you give up your hard-earned dollars, regardless of the value you receive in exchange for those dollars given. I would agree that Kita's ideas conveyed here are not "game-changing," but that's because I learned these movements as a boy and young man playing soccer, football, basketball and lacrosse. Among the great number of firearms owners & users, many people either didn't play sports, or didn't have good enough coaches to help with movement economy. For that reason, Kita's presentation is excellent -- she talks clearly, explains efficiently, and demonstrates smoothly. Double thumbs up to Mike Glover and Kita Busse for this excellent presentation.

[@jiveturkey713]

They're called fundamentals

[@pyeitme508]

Wow and literally first 🥇

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

Interesting. Certainly some good stuff for 3-gun/ sports specific movement and shooting stuff in a more proactive/ pre-active sense, though I'd like to see how her methods better translate to the reactive actions that are much more commonplace with real- world situations (especially for LE and PSC/ PSS/ PSO realms and general self defense situational application), where there is little to almost no time to use fancy footwork and milliseconds matter. Granted, this stuff could be applied with enough conditioning for muscle memory factors over extended time training with it, but as aforementioned I'd like to see some demonstration with a target also moving and closing in on the shooter in practical situations.

[@Frankdude72]

You hit the nail on the head. This is a great intro to movement in shooting sports competition. If you're looking for movement tips in reactive self-defense and the like, I can recommend several instructors, such as: Steve Miles (Alive Combatives) / Mark Human (MDW) / Roger Phillips (Fight Focused Concepts) / and Sonny Puzikas. There are others, but I've taken classes from all of these men and they are top notch, incorporating Force-on-Force lessons into their movement styles, etc.

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

@@Frankdude72 Right! I'm familiar with MDW and a few others, I also recommend Shivworks and Secfor International, and I'd recommend the company I work for but their training center doesn't offer publicly available courses anymore (and for security reasons I won't name it), got a bunch of former Tier-1 guys and FLETC instructors there, always a good time and great learning experience.

[@ChinamanDrip]

Some basketball footwork

BIOMECHANICS

[@ttattx]

John Lovell has talked about this ad nauseum for years. I don't see anything groundbreaking here at all... except for maybe thinking I'll see more Lulu Lemon at the range?

[@jakeedgell591]

More lulu lemon at the range sounds pretty groundbreaking to me, but I’m just a dude on the internet so what do I know?

[@ttattx]

@@jakeedgell591 haha -- Lulu Tacticool spandex/kydex/kevlar combo... we take tight see through (mostly) yoga pants and add some pouches! one pair $175 or two for $350 (they don't do "deals")

[@v.german11b]

Outstanding. Thanks for sharing, beautiful.

[@FL1911]

USPSA shooters are the best shooters.

[@anthonyluisi7096]

I just do what comes naturally . Not some contrived movements and it looks great on a perfectly flat floor with no obstacles..?

If Mike were teaching this y'all would be nutting all over it. But a pretty girl who's taught some of the world's best shooters shows up, and...

[@Javelinfisher]

Fault lines...

[@AKlover]

No offense meant but this info would "Take" better coming from someone like Glover who has almost certainly shot several people in close quarters while moving.

[@waxhawcreek1717]

AKlover How old are you son?

[@CertifiedBullpupHater]

Why? That’s like saying you would rather talk to the nba player about jumping higher rather than the trainer. I get what your saying but one of the realities about SF guys is they aren’t the super humans in every aspect we try to make them into being. It’s impossible to be the best shooter, best tactician, best demolition guy, best with languages, etc. which is why certain people have specialties. Some of the best dunkers in the world aren’t nba players. Some of the best shooters in the world have never been in a firefight, you can find black belts in ju jitsu that have never laid a hand on anyone in anger. Let the specialists talk.

[@deathlis]

@@CertifiedBullpupHater Very valid point. It's not like this level of detail in basic biomechanics is part of SF training anyway. Same with a lot of specializations - probably not a soldier in the entire world that could claim more expertise in small arms ballistics, fast target acquisition & transitions, and trigger discipline than Jerry Miculek, for example.

[@SanchoElPistolero]

If you played soccer . basketball and even skateboard this is more of a Common Sense, if you didn’t play sports then you’re fucked that’s why it’s a called shooting SPORTS!!!!!

[@garysams8615]

I’m sorry, but competitive shooters have been doing everyone of these “techniques” for decades. Now some of these have certainly been frowned upon in the “tactical” world, specifically the “cross-over” step/s…however shooting position exit and entry techniques have been around as long as I’ve been a cop…(27 years). Hey but whatever it takes to get the information out there to users. Everything comes back around repackaged and renamed.

[@MaharlikaAWA]

Just do martial arts and you don't need to think about this crap or watch videos on it. It will come naturally.

[@johnstevens1575]

Proper gun handling and shooting is a martial art. It takes a long time to master and has its own katas.

[@snipecox2153]

Something about pretty instructors make me pay attention:)

[@runny_eggz]

Great info - a good reminder to think about feet now and then. Very succinct and to the point.
