Rōnin (浪人) talks over “How -Tu” Drive a Gun (Multiple Threat Engagement -Combat Pistol)

As a former Green Beret, I had to be proficient in the application of a combat handgun while deployed operationally throughout the world. Here, I talk over an important combat handgun fundamental “Driving the Gun”. I have seen and employed many different applications to enhance my speed and accuracy while driving the gun. In this video, I talk over how I have taken different styles of “Driving the Gun” and developed a form that has worked for me. In my teachings, the proper employment of this form must be developed along with hand and eye processing speed. Understand how I have taken forms and teachings from martial arts and athletic sports to enhance my balance, power, footwork and reactive speeds.

I came out of interest for your instructional material, but i felt compelled to say this after watching more of your videos. You are an inspiring individual and you have an eye opening view on life. Even though i am not from the U.S. i thank you for your service. Above all you are human, and a brother to all of us. With the utmost respect, i wish you the very best and a good happy life.

These are some of the only actually useful training and informative videos on KZbin that I've seen. Tu Lam deserves more subscribers. You wont learn anything watching videos about Gucci gear and guns you wont fire. Get training and shoot your guns. Understand this.

[@opisupra]

You are fantastic, sir.

[@MrShieldone]

Old habits. Weaver and double taps! Working on it. Old dog new tricks!

[@Snookynibbles]

shieldman, Tu Is eclectic, pulling from different styles while adopting what makes most sense for the particular scenario. Though he has chosen a method to stabilize a pistol apart from the Weaver push-pull grip, Weaver will still get you there. Tu adopts aspects of Isosceles in order to maximize hip mobility for rapid engagement of multiple targets,...very effective, yet he also adopts a hybrid of the Weaver’s bladed stance because a shallow bladed provides better stability for managing recoil. Tu Lam clearly has incorporated proven fundamentals from the martial arts & athletics. He is not only quite smart, but very practice when he insightfully adapts and improves upon established methods, taking the best and leaving the rest.

[@Breaker197]

@@Snookynibbles he's like the Bruce Lee of shooting.

[@hapkist]

Thank you very much to share this videos, i follow you from France and i hope i can soon participate to one of your shooting course. Congratulation for your amazing job, Regards from France

[@kendallfleming5858]

Harder than it looks, you have to mentally train yourself to do 4 to 5 steps practically in sync to drive a firearm properly. -Maintain sight alignment -Maintain proper trigger press -Control shot anticipation -Maintain your breathing -Proper grip -Get high and forward as much as possible without leaving real estate open -Dont torque but relax your grip -Use your peripheral vision to locate your next target -Dont bend your knees -Lock your hips into your upper body -Turn with your hips -Keep your finger at the wall right after you break shot That's a lot to do, and especially in sync, in 1 movement, not easy

[@twoscoopsaloha7151]

[@brandonmiller5394]

This guy is a straight up bad ass!

[@NikStrengthCoach]

Isn’t that better to hold the trigger locked to the rear instead of resting on the wall? I mean, it would be too easy in my opinion to accidentally pull the trigger from the wall in a stress condition trying to maintain the right pressure to hold on the wall and not firing. I found it safer to rest the trigger to the rear maintaining a reasonable amount of pressure on the trigger. Thanks for your videos, very professional.

[@jeffgrey663]

Badass

[@Grizzlybear.d]

why they shooting like that on ground at beginning of video can someone explain

[@Jakman01]

It's a shooting drill, a lot of the drills you go through are to prepare you for different situations. Firing a gun on the ground is a different experience from firing from a standing position. So exposure to the scenario makes you understand what your body is doing, what your mind is doing and if that situation ever happens, well, at least you've been exposed to it. I hope that makes sense.

[@rayherron6603]

Nice man

[@SemperAnnoying]

Every time I hear him ask "understand this?" I process it as an order of him telling me "UNDERSTAND THIS."

[@SkeezyFPV]

@GloomyGuns , see what I'm saying there devil???

[@Aspis_1-0]

I don't know if you're playing on the way he says this along with his strong following of Musashi Miyamoto but in the Book of Five Rings and Sun Tzu's Art of War, philosophies and statements in both books are solidified with ending statements like "Know this well" or "understand this" and they are stated repeatedly. I don't know if Tu meant to do that in that meaning or not, but I think that's awesome through and through.

[@HeathLCK]

@@Aspis_1-0 I agree. I take it as him saying "to be able to do this skill correctly...understand this...or you will be doing it incorrectly". Tu is the man. His Ronin gear is on point as well.

When he said high on the chest, center line. I figured yeah, okay makes sense. Then when he said why, the reality kind of sunk in. Trying to sever a persons spinal cord.

[@ryans.6889]

A lot of the guys teaching nowadays are a lot better than instructors just 5 years ago, specifically for that reason. They explain the why. A lot of instructors who are instructors either in the military or LE, they don't really explain the why. We were told to do it because it was the best tactic at that time.
