Guys,
Although I just put this up in the NJ forum, I also wanted to post it here in the NY hometown forum 'cause that's where Chris seems to do most of his work. After I got home from Saturday's MDTS class in NJ, my brother called me. As I ran down the day's events, I realized just how amazing the "malfunction junction" training evolution was. It wasn't in the MDTS class I took two years ago...but damn, it was fantastic. If any one thing is gonna save our lives someday, it just might be that new piece of training. Great bunch of guys in NJ. Wish we had time afterward to BS a little. "What are you shooting? Do you like that optic? Where did you get the mags?" I love that kind of crap....but I had a big drive ahead of me...as did a few other guys. My particular career requires three types of mandatory training every year...and your job depends upon your ability to pass. Some years, you get the crappy instructors who yell or simply evaluate instead of instruct. Man, I hate that. That's why I love Chris and the MDTS classes. Pure instruction, great demonstrations, practical information and applications, instruction backed by real explanations ( true stories, military & LE data, and training industry data), and sincere instruction. He wants you to learn. He's not just checking off boxes and cashing your checks. Joel was kind enough to loan my a 15 round mag....thanks Joel! I took a pistol CQC "force on force" type class with Chris in June. That was amazing too. I wish I had the time and money to train with Chris every month. It's addicting. I sometimes feel as if that's the only thing we gun owners should be doing. Training and more training. I could go on and on.... |
| Chris "The Total Weapon" Fry comes through with another great video. All kidding aside, I have only been to one class and Chris and his crew are very knowledgeable and I can't recommend his training enough. When more classes come around I will make sure to sign up. |

*sigh* I miss the training season already! So many skill sets, so little time. Very nice work on the video Chris, that truly shows how well rounded and capable MDTS really is. Its ALWAYS training season for some skill set or another. Today was pistol, a little precision rifle range time, and several hours of deer hunting/woods skills to start and close out the day for me

Tom, if your smart (which I know you are) you train a little everytime you strap that pistol on and clip that knife in your pocket. As my CM coach Cecil says you put a few more pieces of mail on the pile everyday and before long you have a whole stack in front of you. There is NEVER enough time to train everything we want, what is important IMO is to stay proficient in each range of combat taking into consideration we live in weapon based environments and striving to constantly train multiple disciplines in order to be ready for any eventuality. Some is better than none.
I could have easily stayed home and hung out on the couch tonight since I am beat from last weekend but I put in an hour of pistol with Dan before the ORC club meeting tonight. We shot "Dot torture", Trigger Bar targets and the new MDTS Pistol Task Oriented Skills Qualification (TOSQ) a few over 100 rounds.. a little every day adds up quick. |
