Train Lots With Guns Or Not At All

Say James and his sidekick:

I kind of see what they are getting at in certain cases they mention, but the premise of the video was of course to troll and get views as usual.

James-Yeager-Angel-Approved2:50 – “I’ve seen a lot of fads.” …. oh like standing downrange and taking pictures?  Yea you might not think that’s a fad, but trust me you won’t be doing that forever for one reason or another.  Hopefully it’s a less serious reason though like your insurance company threatens to pull the plug on your coverage.

<— Brought it back for old times’ sake.

Thoughts?

  1. Although things are clear to me, it makes sense that firearm trainers would need to resort to charisma and force of personality to bring people to their training.

    To actually be able to discern good and bad training you need to know quite alot. The people who actually have first or even second hand experience in civilian gunfight encounters are miniscule. And even those that do have already been indoctrinated in one form of training, such as police officers.

    So it makes sense Yeager has to court controvery and talk shit, to get people to trust or fear him. Anythings better than indifference.

    Unload your airsoft guns, bring your twitter friends
    It’s fun to continually lose and to pretend
    Engine’s over-bored and Yeager’s supremely self-assured
    Oh no, I know Buck Yeager’s now a girl

    Mello, Yello, Yeager, how low can she go
    Mello, Yello, Yeager, how low can she go
    Mello, Yello, Yeager, how low can she go
    Mello, Yello, Ya know, she’s an amateur troll

    Yeager’s light went out, it’s less dangerous
    Here’s my yard now, downrange photo entertainers
    Yeager’s stupid, it’s contagious
    Training body guards now, downrange photo entertainers
    A cowardly lion, a vagina, no more penis, a Jay Gibson, no intelligence
    Yea, Ger
    Yea, Ger

    Yeager’s worse at what she does best
    And for Youtube cash, she feels blessed
    Her little groupies, lead by a tranny
    And so they will be, until she’s a tattooed granny

    Mello, Yello, Yeager, how low can she go
    Mello, Yello, Yeager, how low can she go
    Mello, Yello, Yeager, how low can she go
    Mello, Yello, Ya know, she hit the dirt

    With the lights down, she’s not famous
    That’s what she said, do I smell piss?
    Yeager’s stupid, it’s contagious
    Here’s your body guard now, downrange photo entertainers
    A cowardly lion, a vagina, no more penis, no libido
    Yeah, hey, Yea, ger, she’s a real genius

    And she forgot just why she plays Voodoo Child
    Oh yeah, I guess it makes Yeager smile
    She found a coin, in the back yard
    Oh hell, Yeager lost a dime

    Mello, Yello, Yeager, how low can she go
    Mello, Yello, Yeager, how low can she go
    Mello, Yello, Yeager, how low can she go
    Steroids, YOLO, Ya know, Yeager lives by these words

    With her lights out, she’s not famous
    That’s what she said, is that shirt the tightest?
    Yeager’sl stupid, it’s contagious
    She’s a body guard now, downrange photo entertainers
    A cowardly lion, a vagina, no more penis, no libido
    Yeah, hey, Yea, ger

    Yeager lives in denial, in denial, in denial, in denial, in denial
    Ditch denial, clutch denial, crazy denial, all denial

    After 20 years of combatives training, I still laugh my ass off at tough guys at Planet Fitness that shadow box and practice low kicks on the steel pole because they’ve seen Thai’s kick banana trees and punch tires. Your slow jab and weak ass kicks are not going to help you at all when you’re getting your cheeto munching ass starched by some dude in the parking lot that you picked a fight with. I know y’all hate Yeager, but dude kinda has a point.

      Maybe they’re shadow boxing and low kicking because it’s exercise and they’re at the gym (planet fitness, no less) and haven’t had the opportunity to get 20yrs of combative training?

  4. I have a problem with their logic, and I’m confused as to the practical implications of their observations. The logical problem: the people who are most likely to feel invincible because of their bad training are probably the same people who don’t realize they got bad training in the first place. And, they are not the type of people who will suddenly become self-aware after watching this video.

    The practical implications problem: average people have limited time, money, and information for getting training quality training. How can we know whether we’re getting good training until we’ve already been through the class?
