I live in a country where you're not allowed to own guns, and should you get a licens to own one for hunting you may still not use the weapon for self defence. I still watch these cqb lessons just for moments like that. He is a funny dude. there's also lessons outside the cqb to pick up on.
I personally felt that by feeding off the lead and responding to the way THEY MOVE. It allows you to have greater coverage quicker and you BOTH don't have to speak! You guys are so on point.👍
How do I get rid of "the always being defeated attitude " You guys always look so confident and sure of yourselfs.And its something I seriously lack. Thank you.
Mike thank you for the amazing video.. and a thank you to your partner for his help.. Props to the camera guy giving such a great perspective on what is happening...
Thank you guys for another great piece of useful information! I like the presentation, the non-preachy attitude and the way your content easily flows from start to finish. Your channel rocks!
I would like to see counter room clearing. What if you are the one holed up and an elite force is clearing YOU. Just as likely a scenario in a survival situation during civil breakdown.
How would you enter a room with a closed door? I don't know if you have covered this or not but it seems a million time easier to do it with an open door than a closed since with an open one you can assess the room before you enter
This was very informative. But what about sweeping these doors and hallways with longer ARs? Do you stack on the door barrel up (Seal style) or old school barrel down. I guess I'm hung up on people being in the hallway too long and walking in front of that door. That said, your points were well received.
I would love to be trained by men like Mike and Kev. Unfortunately in Australia we don't have the same level of expertise or access to firearms. Even if you can access quality weapons you still wouldn't find the men to train you.
This video was done amazing show then explain I love it because after I can rewind go back watch again after the information, love it! Would love to see more like this maybe some active shooter in public place when you have decided to step up and end the threat! To actually when it’s over I have this scary ideal that if I was in that situation then maybe cops show up and think I’m the active shooter scary!
Always thought of this. Yes but the point is not being the hero. Sure in easy trigger world (almost everywhere) also innocents get shot and killed. It happens often but tv dsn t say.
Such an amazing video!!! In all the CQB videos I’ve watched, I’ve never seen exiting the building, or breaking contact. Golden! I have questions, though: From the camera angle it’s hard to tell, but is a certain amount of muzzling your buddy acceptable in CQB? Stepping center and leading with a fully extended pistol into the room seems wrong, but y’all are clearly the experts. I’m just trying to learn.
There are different ways to address that. You can push the obstacle out of the way, kick through it etc. You won't know it's there until you get to it bottom line. The key is to try not to get bogged down if doing dynamic entry and clearing, with deliberate it would be alot slower and more methodical. CQB is an imperfect science. There are alot of baseline rules but there is no 100% right way to do it but a shit ton of wrong ways. My two cents worth.
There is absolutely nothing sweeter than watching professional operators move thru a CQB scenario. Again guy's outstanding video even being a retired Marine Force Recon Operator you guy's really open my mind to new and expanding tactics. Again thank you God bless and God speed to you both.
@@justinmoore4088 You'll love it!!!! Love listening to Kevin in videos and podcast. You gotta listen to their podcast! Checkout Cleared Hot podcast with Andy Stumpf. He sat down with Mike for 3hrs on his latest. BEST 3 HOURS IVE EVER LISTENED TOO!!!!! FieldCraft and Cleared Hot are the best!!!!!
I also take "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast" as "doing something right once slowly is faster than doing something wrong twice quickly." That's the way I think about it and it helps a lot in day to day life.
Excellent video instruction and key points to think about. My wife and I routinely practice 2 man CQB and share our knowledge as we attend different classes. I can't wait to share this video with her and incorporate the "bounding" drill into our movements.
@@fieldcraftsurvival Old Video, I know... Question: Why did you enter the room long? You retracted and cut left only after you cleared the breach and if I was on that wall waiting, you both were going down.
That rush of adrenaline you talk about @ 12:40 I've seen / heard multiple times as a musician... generally bands play their songs faster live than when they recorded them. This is especially true when the band is on cocaine. I'm wondering if a metronome click in one ear might help ppl pace themselves better? Works for drummers.
@corporaterobotslave spot on 100%!! Been playing live and recording for about 15 years !!! The live show energy compared to studio is difficult to control speed!! And ive been told that booger sugar makes it even harder😂🤣🤷
As an LEO I have cleared hundreds of buildings. Having said that, I am always able to learn from different methods of actions. I will make sure my partner sees this and see what we can adapt into our training. Thank you.
Im not an expert and I'm not even close to it, but in this second 0:29 it looks kinda risky? I mean I'm speaking from what I see on another videos from Project Gecko, and the way he enters the building makes me thing that theres something I don't know or that was a mistake (I would really like a reply back just to do feedback and improve my understanding)
How about a video on defense? (other than just staying in a hard corner). It seems like that's just as (if not more) applicable for most people's concerns?
what's the best or good plan of defense during a one or two story late night home invasion if you have children in multiple bedrooms? e.g. hear glass break and heavy footsteps..let's say the alarm doesnt work and you dont have a dog. grab gun and head for the children's bedrooms? hope the kids make their way to yours and hunker down? assault the threat? obviously there is no time to call police. if you're upstairs, i imagine defending the staircase somehow? what if it's a ranch style home and one floor? do I begin an assault or wait until I visualize a threat?
Always slow and smooth. Why would anyone be in a hurry to sprint into an ambush? The element of surprise stays outside. When you're inside, you are always about to walk into an ambush.
As always fantastic content. I was wondering, I've read a metric shitton on stair wells and diverse methods, but I'd really like your point of view on clearing stair cases of various designs to incorporate into my squad's training routine. Again thanks for all you do gentlemen.
@Mike Glover. I have a question, when I see you and Kevin clearing rooms, it looks like you (and maybe both) are walking very straight-up. Maybe it is because of the camera angle, but are you bending your knees slightly when performing these tactics?
Mike, address if door closed and you must breach. Does 1 man just dominate a corner or does 1 man also still step centerengage threat in center of room. We have trained to aggressively take corner of choice upon breach. Please address
Withdrawing...you're assuming you're going back into a cleared and safe space...coverman exposing back whilst taking 'covered' position both on corners and exiting into corridor...weapon is your frontcover.
The main problem in all closed quarters is always not knowing the location by heart and the location of walls and ambush spots, important to stay away from walls.
That was fun gliding through those rooms with you guys!!! Loved learning about who you are/what you went through to be the serious, thinking reaper you are (listened to the interview on Vigilance Elite TH-cam channel).
If the hallway continued further (more interior doors between the door you are entering and the exterior door) would you still use "combat clear" to enter the room?
Now do that uber cool ninja walk smooth clearinghouse stuff with Bad guys in hiding places with Guns waiting for u... expecting you... And shooting back at you.
Mike, at 04:07 you averted your muzzle over Kevin's head because you're taller than him but if he were taller, would you avert muzzle by going to position sul?
Look at how owns did it while moving around Mike.... No he just dropped the muzzle down a bit. I think cops are too obsessed with sul position. It's not that complicated, just don't point you gun at your buddy.
Awesome to see detailed coverage of step center. The first time I learned about that technique was at an esoteric course. I had never done it before and I've found it to be really useful. Thanks for the good information as always
How can I criticize? Seriously, your muzzles are constantly pointed at each other.... Flipping and sliding and 1/2" error, someone gets shot, friendly fire. Impressive and apparently, in real life, this is necessary. Practice and control... Nice, spooky, surreal😦🤯
"Hey guys, Mike and Kev here again at a doorway." Unexpectedly funny for some reason.
Just laughed my ass off at this part as well lol..good stuff man.
Bwahaha I thought so too 😆
I don’t wanna thumbs up. I don’t I don’t. I had to. It was 69 likes but this is so true lol
I live in a country where you're not allowed to own guns, and should you get a licens to own one for hunting you may still not use the weapon for self defence. I still watch these cqb lessons just for moments like that. He is a funny dude. there's also lessons outside the cqb to pick up on.
I think it's because doorways aren't usually broadcast sites or noteworthy final destination points
Thank You mike ! You are bad ass I discovered you from Shawn Ryan . I have no regrets!!
Thank you, glad to have you on the channel
I personally felt that by feeding off the lead and responding to the way THEY MOVE. It allows you to have greater coverage quicker and you BOTH don't have to speak! You guys are so on point.👍
I think this is pretty awesome they are showing civilians these techniques, cause these could be lifesaving!
Mike Glover scares the shit of me, but in a good way lol. Glad he’s on our side. Jesus.
Jesus Christ. That's Mike Glover!
Thank you gentlemen. My two favorite people in one video. Can't wait to take a class and learn first hand.
How do I get rid of "the always being defeated attitude " You guys always look so confident and sure of yourselfs.And its something I seriously lack. Thank you.
Mike thank you for the amazing video.. and a thank you to your partner for his help.. Props to the camera guy giving such a great perspective on what is happening...
Nothing like a fresh shave in the middle of CQB. Outstanding material !!
Went full Sergeant Major
I just got the three of Us smoked. I was checking corners while He was getting a shave.
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
And mike's a fd of solid snake.
Thank you guys for another great piece of useful information!
I like the presentation, the non-preachy attitude and the way your content easily flows from start to finish.
Your channel rocks!
I like how everything flows here
Great, clean work
Awesome stuff. I hope all is well with you.
I would like to see counter room clearing. What if you are the one holed up and an elite force is clearing YOU. Just as likely a scenario in a survival situation during civil breakdown.
Great stuff CSM...
Going to go ahead and "like" this video because I like it so much
enjoy the video mike thank you and see you at the next one brother
Next time, if you guys can have the speakers mic'd up that would make the audio quality way better. Thanks for the video :)
Liked this video very much. Thank you.
Anyone would think these guys were pros!
One of the best intros to any video I've ever seen.
I love mike's occasional "phrasing" self callouts haha
I swear this is the only channel you need to be a well informed American gun owner
Thanks for this. Very Handy info
God damn, these boys make this shit look good. I'd hate to be on the wrong end of this barrel.
How would you enter a room with a closed door? I don't know if you have covered this or not but it seems a million time easier to do it with an open door than a closed since with an open one you can assess the room before you enter
Great Video Guys! Hope to take a class some day!
Outstanding tutorial gentlemen! LEO academies and advanced warrant entry training courses would benefit from this. Thanks!
One question. Stairways?
Love you guys stuff good job keep em coming
Not going to use this for real life but the tactics work in video games too

Kevin moves like a fucking ninja! Being a lighter guy has its advantages. ;)
I would love to be trained by men like Mike and Kev.
Unfortunately in Australia we don't have the same level of expertise or access to firearms.
Even if you can access quality weapons you still wouldn't find the men to train you.
Awesome!!
Does raising your barrel mean your ready to move? I see it in shows and here right before they procced on clearing
This video was done amazing show then explain I love it because after I can rewind go back watch again after the information, love it!

What do you doif there an obstacle in place were you cannot enter the room that was hidden
There are different ways to address that. You can push the obstacle out of the way, kick through it etc. You won't know it's there until you get to it bottom line. The key is to try not to get bogged down if doing dynamic entry and clearing, with deliberate it would be alot slower and more methodical. CQB is an imperfect science.

Instructions unclear. I’m now addicted to cigarettes.
Green beret still training indigenous personnel, This time Americans.
Is there a way to contact you direct? I have a question better offline.
Good stuff...talk about synchronized.
4:39 how to fully shave during a CQB
great video btw
"I can't support you as a #2 man if you're not predictable. So I need you to be consistent."
You just wrecked at least half of the major guntubers lol

That's badass
It looked weird watching them enter rooms at full extension.
Awesome video but am I the only one that got a little scared when Mike lost his beard 5 minutes in
Hahah day 2
Haha I love it you guys are fuckin awesome
Good attention to detail 💯
That's how close the quarters are.
"Slow is smooth, smooth is fast" because practice makes permanent. I love simple quotes that mean the most. 💯🔥

@@boddyxpolitic Thanks for the offer! If you haven't already, you have to take the Fieldcraft courses! You'll love it 💯💯💯
Whens Kevin gonna do a sit down about his background and experience? This Irish import is intrigued. Love your content Mike
@Aaron Burr Thanks for the info!!!

I feel like if I didn't mention Jocko he might choke me in the middle of the night.
Just did a long range carbine training with Kevin last week. He knows precision rifle better than anyone I’ve ever been around.
@Aaron Burr Couldn't find it for some reason, any link or pointer?
I also take "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast" as "doing something right once slowly is faster than doing something wrong twice quickly." That's the way I think about it and it helps a lot in day to day life.
Agreed. One of my instructors told us "You have to learn to hit slowly instead of missing quickly before you can go fast."
Can you do a video on fighting in urban environments? Using cover and movement while fighting an active shooter threat. Thanks for the great videos!
they've done many videos and have talked about it in podcasts, talking about cover vs concealment etc etc
My biggest fear in 2 or more man CQB is accidental friendly fire
Excellent video instruction and key points to think about. My wife and I routinely practice 2 man CQB and share our knowledge as we attend different classes. I can't wait to share this video with her and incorporate the "bounding" drill into our movements.

Good teacher and tactician. There are many tacticians, few are good teachers as well.
Smoking saves lives. (In a CQB situation, of course.)
those room clearance shots with music are unreasonably badass...
Glad you liked them!

4:05 watch how Mike does not sweep his head! That is real training!
imo...thats just common politeness ;)
Glad you pointing it out. While I do this consciously Mark is on a whole other level. Fantastic.
One of the best vids and explanations that I've seen on the subject in video. Thank you and can't wait to hit the Sawmill...from a SC guy.
Awesome, thank you. Hope to see you at a class there!
The entrance intro, it's art, beautiful sound and movements.
Hey I play Call of Duty all you need to do is slide into the room like 30 ft and just shoot everybody in there

@mike glover I would love to get your perspective on one man and two man stairwell CQB.
smooth is fast, my man Tito says that in bjj, he trains police officers. It's for sure true.
damn, i have to get to a fieldcraft course; great content; scott's sawmill is a tremendous facility
Come on out! We’d love to have you! It’s a top notch place for sure.
So does kevin just have his finger on the trigger the entire time... ??
Holy Crap... I went to Selection with that Lucky Charm Bastard! Hahahaha Cheers Brother! Good to see your Still around, Erin Go Braugh!
like a buff, tactical markiplier. lol, good video as always. Glad you guys finally did a 2 man cqb vid!
Mike, address if door closed and you must breach. Does 1 man just dominate a corner or does 1 man also still step centerengage threat in center of room. We have trained to aggressively take corner of choice upon breach. Please address
Isn't this situational?
You laying so many rounds on target was amazing. The threat is eliminated.
Team China and Team Scotland. Bwahahahaha haha kidding. Don’t kill me.
Did you throw these TTPs into Force-on-Force at any point?
Withdrawing...you're assuming you're going back into a cleared and safe space...coverman exposing back whilst taking 'covered' position both on corners and exiting into corridor...weapon is your frontcover.
The same technique can also be used for rear security of the "assaulting" element.
The main problem in all closed quarters is always not knowing the location by heart and the location of walls and ambush spots, important to stay away from walls.
Good stuff. You guys are experts! Slow is smooth and smooth is fast is also used in Martial Arts.
That was fun gliding through those rooms with you guys!!! Loved learning about who you are/what you went through to be the serious, thinking reaper you are (listened to the interview on Vigilance Elite TH-cam channel).
Speaking of gliding, if they covered footwear I missed that, I'm sure this quietness and efficiency is not in combat mountain boots?
could you address how to open doors in CQB? I haven't seen it yet in your 1 man or 2 man cab videos
If the hallway continued further (more interior doors between the door you are entering and the exterior door) would you still use "combat clear" to enter the room?
Now do that uber cool ninja walk smooth clearinghouse stuff with Bad guys in hiding places with Guns waiting for u... expecting you...
And shooting back at you.
Very good info.
11:29 that feet work tho! Good shit guys
Mike, slow is smooth, smooth is fast but you seem to develop a rhythm as you move through the building
I learn something everyday from your videos! Love them and keep them up brothas!
Slow it down! That’s important. Thanks Mike
Mike, at 04:07 you averted your muzzle over Kevin's head because you're taller than him but if he were taller, would you avert muzzle by going to position sul?

Slow, is 3. Smooth, is 2. Which equivalates to 1: Fast. Is like Water...FLUID. Fluid is efficiency. Practice and FLOW!
