Modern Samurai: Manage Recoil with Structure Not Strength

[@ModernSamuraiProject]

Good times brother!

[@jimmybrodriguez]

Looking forward to more in the future!

[@RogerBarrera]

Good stuff man! Definitely left me wanting more, can’t wait for this series to continue. Hey oh!

[@jimmybrodriguez]

I’m pretty stoked about, it’s honestly helped me retain the info better

[@sharris7034]

Awesome 😎

[@swiftaudi]

Took a class with Jedi, I can confirm the one on one time is amazing. He spends time with everyone in almost every topic. His class teaches you to eliminate the unnecessary and just do what works naturally.

[@Jedi_Obi-Wan]

This video was one of your best. Comprehensive and interesting. I'm looking forward to following this series. Hurry up with the next chapter. 👍👍

[@Systems_Scholar]

Phenomenal. Thank you for sharing such an outstanding instructor with us. I am more and more impressed with Jedi’s instruction every time I see it.

[@awokeone7997]

Always appreciate videos like these from you, 1911 Syndicate and all the other guys. MSP/Jedi is definitely one of the best instructors out there and hopefully I can take a class from him and AJ soon. Best thing to take from this is, always remember the foundation. Just like a house, kickboxing, jiu-jitsu or any other sport, if your foundation is not solid and strong, it doesnt matter what knowledge you add on top of that. You will always have problems and bad habits.

[@MellowFellowOfYellow]

My favorite sport is definitely a house

[@damonaniton]

Took 2 classes with Scott so far. When it comes to learning how to run a dot his class is 2nd to none.

[@4054bobby]

I really appreciate your clarity and quality of your videos!

[@jimmybrodriguez]

Appreciate the support

[@peters303]

Amazing body mechanics explanation and demonstration Definitely makes everything clear as a "dolphin in mayonnaise"

[@seanoneil277]

Scott's understanding of, and explanations of, the body mechanics in shooting are a big part of why he's so good at teaching this. He's a smart, observant guy, with a great personality for teaching. He walks what he talks, too. His draw & presentation are ultrafast and smooth, no wasted movement. His demonstrations always reinforce what he's talking about. Truly an awesome instructor.

[@Matt_Kane]

Man, thank you so much for this Jim! Your channel has become one of my favorites, and Jedi is “best in class” in my humble opinion! I hope to be able to train with him one day. Keep up the incredible work dude! Can’t wait for the next video! Again, you have no idea how appreciative I am for you taking the time to film this experience, and sharing it with the world! 🙏🏻

[@636racer]

i saw modern samurai & came to hit the like button, after taking his class my draw from concealment went from 2 seconds to 0.93 in like 8 weeks

[@joshuafallet5690]

he seems like a great guy, i had fun watching, it was engaging and extremely informative. what a great teacher.

[@cliffarnold7463]

Great coverage in this vid. Looking forward to the rest of the segments too. I’ve been following one MSP/Jedi for a couple of years now and am looking forward to taking a class with him… hopefully within the next year.

[@jimmybrodriguez]

Yes Jedi is the man

[@ikemouser2580]

One of Scotts Alumni, his class did more for me than any other class we ith regard to handgun shooting, even improved my carbine.

[@Spvrky_614]

It’s amazing when you finally figure out the smallest little issue, and fix it. 🤯☺️☺️

[@clarenceheng5637]

just watching these few videos helped my groupings a lot

[@TheWhiteboy40]

Look forward to Scott coming to our range towards end of year in so cal. Always great to see the man working his style of craft.

[@snafu4405]

I will train with Scott. He is at the tippy top of my list.

[@RileyRR]

Scott is such a good teacher.

[@seanoneil277]

I'm old enough to say at this point in my life, I've been trained in a few sports by top shelf coaches (in skiing & golf) before I started shooting a little over a year ago. I took MSP's 2-day RDS last August, AJ Zito was his 2d for the class. Scott Jedlinski is the 2d best athletic movement instructor I've ever known, and the best living instructor. AJ Zito is damned good too.

Did you know how much we’ve learned from this video alone ??? Thanks bro!! Great content

Thank you for sharing. Great content👍🏽

[@isi12345]

Thanks for the video. I coach rugby and I'm constantly looking for new ways (basic and advanced) to teach it. I coach from ages 8 through adults and one of the fundamentals we teach is LOOK (lol sounds obvious but most players don't always look: Look at the ball, look at offense, look at the defense, look at the tackler etc.). This eye/vision thing on this video has give me some good ideas.

[@jasonarellano8759]

Thank you for the video and follow-up!

[@subwoofer6726]

Coming froma Kungfu standpoint, Jedi is 100% correct. In the style I practice, Jedi basically repeats what was taught in our system (and frankly applies to nearly every other system), that no matter how physically fit or deficient you are, your form and structure are going to make or break whatever it is you are trying to accomplish. Small things will play a big part in how you manage, in this case, the recoil. I've been very fortunate to listen to some great teachers point this principle out and it's truly amazing how just a slight alteration to your body mechanics vastly changes your performance. The devil is in the details. But NEVER assume strength is a compensation for skill.

[@lindseywack8192]

Great series hope to take his class soon

[@vigormindset]

Excellent content. One of the best, most informative videos I’ve seen in some time, and I’ve seen some good ones. Thanks so much for sharing this.

[@danielloera25]

If had the same problem as you but to the right. Such a simple adjustment yet I hadn’t thought about it. Will get after it next range trip! Thank Jim, good shit

[@Ghaddy]

Jedi's class was amazing! I can't wait to shoot with them again this September! I love seeing him on this channel

[@ChipSpencer123]

Good stuff Jim. Thanks!

[@prudentcitizentraining]

I enjoyed listening to Jedi as always... Your commentary and feedback is also very helpful, from the student perspective. Just subscribed, looking forward to more.

[@RKnoll74]

Great video. Thank you

[@mcdreamy5004]

Recoil control, proper stance and sight picture is all great! But if you ain’t pressin’ that trigger correctly, it was all for nothing!

[@skylarrayyoung]

I love when trainers are funny!

[@thebronzetoo]

GREAT video, Jim!! I'm taking his class in Sep and can't wait!

[@ShinaniGunz]

Great video, I’ve been watching a ton of Jedi’s videos lately and he has such a deep wealth of knowledge. Love the end of the video too, that’s usually me for the first 10 minutes before I record any quality material 😂

[@PROPHET_-ly1pq]

Learned a ton just from the first 10 mins of the course. Awesome!

[@adama4791]

Signed up to take Jedis class as soon as I finished watching these videos...going to train with him at Big Tex next weekend, thanks Jim...wish I would have known about him sooner lol since ETTS is my home range

Thanks for sharing....this was great! Looking forward to the other vids

[@Caxel108]

I used to get corrected for having one foot forward instead of shoulder length apart because It felt weird to not have a foot forward to counter a force pushing against you... I fucking knew I was right

[@adamcallahan242]

This was really good man, thank you for the tid bits.

[@jakemerica]

Great info for a guy still learning the fundamentals. Looking forward to a first pistol class.

Jim, if you have a podcast on the subject of anything I would be thrilled to know where it can be accessed. I enjoy how you present things

A martial art that teaches mind body coordinations is Ki Aikido, you might find it informative. Its helped me.

And where does Aikido come from? Jiu-Jitsu

First time to see ur video. It was very good. I try to watch as much as I can of jedhi I don't watch his long gun videos. Don't own one and don't plan to. I liked and subed. I know you content makers get either dollars or points for likes, subs, and comments, so I did all tonight

I'd like to here about trigger reset too

[@markdavidson1049]

Firearms training and a small comedy show. Nice.

[@jimmybrodriguez]

What more could we ask for?

[@shanelemasters8277]

Okay, so I have a question on stance. I do certain things left-handed and other things right handed. One of the things I do is shoot left-handed. My stance as it is now, I place my left foot forward. Should I have a stance with my right foot forward? Or does it matter or just what's comfortable and natural to me? Thank you in advance. New member and I really enjoy your videos!

[@ModernSamuraiProject]

Even ambidextrous people have a favored side. Which hand you favor them opposite should be forward. In the end once your body understands how it works exact stance matters less and less.

[@AggiePhil]

Where was the class taught?

[@saoirse5308]

Really interesting video, I do have a question. Picking a pro, What should I look for? I live in a city of about 150,000 people, so I'm sure there are some local pros, but I could also travel maybe once or twice a year for a 3day someplace. Am I better off with a local I can see quite a bit, or someone at the top of the game that I'll only get to see once or twice? And how do I pick?

Why not both?

[@justinlawrence7466]

I respect everything he said and you made super valid points but my issue is that I watch a ton of jerry miculek. Jerry is the world’s fastest and skilled shooter in the world and still to this day holds the title to the fastest shooter. He teaches and demonstrates isosceles stance. So it’s controversial and not sure the actual approach to really take. Maybe some people can chime in why we should do the exact opposite of the world’s fastest shooter when attempting to shoot fast.
