My opinion on training is success is built on fundamentals and getting the fundamentals down to an automatic response.
From there personalization takes place. No two people are built exactly alike - different physical abilities, sight, hearing, strong side and weak side performance etc... In this respect I have found that Clint does a very good job of teaching the fundamentals and is very consistent in his teaching.
The key is to practice until it becomes automatic...considering that the human body and minds normal reacting to a "fight or flight" situation looks pretty much like a train wreck our performance will depend on the automatic response we have learned.
I have been to a lot of advanced tactical training and what I have observed is whatever bad habits that have been learned continue to be exhibited throughout the "advanced" practical application - including mine. So you end up with advanced tactics being built on poor fundamentals. This is kind of like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
I know in a gunfight - usually someone's future is gonna be reinvented...I choose to invent my own opposed to letting the BG do it for me. Part of making sure this happens is to work on the fundamentals until they are my natural response no matter the stress level.
I see this philosophy in Clint's training - he repeats, repeats, repeats the same basic tactics - hammering them home - never accepting that anyone's performance is good enough - always looking for improvement. Once we think we have "arrived" at perfection we are in deep trouble.
