There is so much wrong with this video it is hard to know where to begin. This violates pretty much every safety protocol (except perhaps the presence of live weapons or ammunition, but it is impossible to know if they even have a process for that.) This training center owner is a former 20 year police officer and claims to be certified by SIMUNITION. If you happen to find yourself anywhere near training like this, leave. Immediately.

As for the company providing the training, I would recommend you avoid them. Their website is http://www.shootdontshoot911.com/

Sadly, there are too many training facilities such as this that are absolutely clueless. And the people lining up to spend money to ostensibly learn how to deal with dangerous encounters are oblivious to the dangers, both physical and from an experiential learning perspective. This video will be added to our 5 Day Instructor School as a classic example of the type of training protocols to avoid.

If you can’t see anything wrong with any of this, it is time for you to pick up a copy of the book Training at the Speed of Life – available on the RBTA.net website.
