Good lessons. Don't train your instincts out of yourself by putting too much emphasis on sights, breathing, stance, or other non-real world fight stopping skills. A study gave guns to total novices and trained officers and presented them with a sudden threat. Those who had never handled a gun reacted much, much faster with greater accuracy by using their instincs, crouching, and point shooting head shots. A lot of Fairbairn's ideas are still relevant.
