COURSES: “Bad Breath Pistol” and “Fight Not Flight” LMS Defense would like to introduce “Bad Breath Pistol” as the next evolution in gunfighting. Though it is important to train at distances of 15 yards and greater, statistics bring gunfighting occurrences at a much closer distance. Approximately 90% of gunfights occur from contact to 15 feet where approximately 40% of those were from contact to just 3 feet. This course focuses on rapidly clearing your holster and effectively delivering rounds utilizing alternate sighting methods at those close distances. Round Count - 200 to 300 rounds Kevin Williams (LMS Defense) Specialty Courses: Carbine and Pistol Fundamentals, Defensive Medicine/TCCC COURSE: "Carbine Fundamentals" - This block will focus on the fundamentals of rifle usage at intermediate and close ranges. Content will include zeroing procedures, positional shooting, in and out of battery reloads, malfunction clearances, and transitioning to a secondary weapon. Recommended gear list: Jeff Hall (Force Options) Chief Instructor Jeff Hall has been shooting for over 50 years and has been a student of firearms combatives for 40 years. He has over 25 years of military and police experience, with a strong emphasis on SWAT. He has also studied traditional arts for 30 years, holding ranks 3rd to 10th Dan in five arts. In 2012 he was promoted to Godan (5th Dan) in Shudokan. He is an NRA Distinguished Master, one of 25 Handgun Combat Masters in the world, and a law enforcement Master Instructor. He is a retired Alaska State Trooper lieutenant who spent nineteen years on the pistol team and 12 years on the SWAT team; he has used the techniques he teaches in combat. Hall travels across the U.S. and teaches nationally for several professional training associations. He has published numerous articles and has written several training manuals. He is an NRA certified instructor in handgun, shotgun, submachine gun, carbine, and precision rifle. Hall shot competitively for many years and studied many styles and techniques in developing Hojutsu, after finding the military and police training inadequate. However, Hall's focus on shooting is to survive lethal encounters. While some styles of shooting may do well in competition, Hall prefers what is proven in real combat. Additionally, there should be commonality in all training- the way we fight with empty hands should flow to sticks to knives to handguns, long guns, and back to empty hands. In Hojutsu, we believe that "He is Best who trains in the Severest school"- we train hard so we can fight easy. Hall was inducted into the U.S. Martial Arts Hall of Fame in 2005 and into the Universal Martial Arts Hall of Fame in 2007. Hojutsu has also been recognized by several Halls of Fame, with Jeff Hall as the head of the modern system. Hall is currently training for the Four Weapon Combat Master test, and to become the second ever to pass the Handgun Combat Master test with a revolver. COURSE: “Precision Pistol” Precision Pistol is about how to shoot the pistol correctly, with a focus on sights and trigger control. We’ll shoot one handed, two handed, all kinds of stances…but the focus in on MASTERING the basics- grip, stance, sight alignment, sight picture, breathing, trigger control, and follow thru.
