It's a shame that none of the internet ninjas that are trash-talking and threatening TR will take the time to listen to this video. I've been lurking getofthex and watching your videos for awhile and I've gotta say that you guys are doing a great service in training average people to not just be weekend range plinkers. There's more to just putting bullets downrange, and it's gotta do with the mentality that these internet jockeys just don't have. Keep it up. Reply to this

Although I don't agree with a lot of your opinions or training methods Mr. Yeager, I do respect your right to think that way, and to train your students that way. As far as I'm concerned, if people don't agree with your training methods, then they shouldn't do your training methods or join your courses.
I appreciate your bringing in your photographer to share his side, but I for one will be using a remote for my downrange camera shots. Reply to this

When you guys talked about getting to a plateau of training, but then stopping for safety made me think of another discipline. When Bruce Lee was teaching his students JKD many of them would excel and show up for all the training.
It was when they go to that plateau and started full contact sparring would students start dropping like flies. They would not want to risk the safety and also face the fear.
This is the main reason there were only few life long students of Bruce Lee.
This desire to keep going is what advanced training is all about. It reminds me more of the FoF training that TR and Suarez engage in, but also non-180 only training. Reply to this

Excellent interview and points made. I had the opportunity to train with Mr. Gibson as a fellow student and Mr. Yeager in the late summer of 2007. It was a class titled "Fighting Shotgun". For those of you who think that safety protocol is broken, I say it is quite the opposite. At around mid day I was struggling with dehydration. Mr. Yeager saw it before I did. The call was made to make them safe, and we broke for lunch. I sat through lunch trying to catch up on water intake, it did not happen. After lunch Mr.Yeager and I spoke about the issue and the general consensus was it would be best for me to return at a later date in cooler weather. He credited the entire class to me so that could happen. I offered to at least pay for the day, he refused and credited it to me and I returned, trained and enjoyed a perfectly safe class and have never looked back. Train with them, you will change your mind if you have a narrow view. If your of the 1% that train you will have a great time. It is guaranteed! Reply to this
