Great to see some wholesome content on TH-cam. An uncle passing on knowledge to his niece that might one day save her life. Great series on the channel
I got my first POM from John Murphy’s class in March. My wife stole it from me the first day so I had to order more. I hand them out to friends and family when they come over. I even keep a couple of trainers around to give them a brief lesson before I give them one.
I saw John demonstrate several months ago the difference between standing straight vs hunched over with the head forward by having someone push against both postures. I have to say that I was a little skeptical that there would be a such huge difference so I had my wife push against me in both postures and I was totally amazed.
She is coming along great just in the 5 or 6 videos you have done you can see a big difference! I have a habit of dropping my head! that is what i am working on now! Thanks for the tips John!
Hey, I love these lessons. Start with the basics. Stance, hips, posture, head up, slightly bent elbows, are all the same as how I learned Karate and Tae Kwon Do.
Your training points are spot on. Great job in your explanations. Just minor changes to our structure DO make a huge difference. Something anyone can prove for themselves next time at the range. Thank you.
Great video John. This is one of the secrets to handgun shooting that most instructors fail to show because they were gifted mass and strength. Small frame guys like me have to work extra hard on technique and optimizing structure. Best part of combining this technique means you don't need to use a lot of effort to manage the recoil which lets you move smoother and is naturally faster.
Great video. You mentioned in the video, that this is great for a small framed person with a full sized handgun. How about a sub compact or compact? Are there any more tips you can give? Maybe a video regarding the same subject but with a sub compact or compact pistol. Thanks! Again, this was a great video
What seems to be the most pervasive is leaning forward, combined with shoulders rolled forward, locked out arms, and the head jutted forward and tilted up slightly to see through the sights. Does any vertical movement of the head weaken structure, regardless if up or down?
Your theory behind stability was almost there. If you're going to instruct people about stability and balance you should learn more about stability and balance before you instruct them.
@@ASPextra i can generate power and see ample with a tucked chin. Examples...Mike Tyson, Canelo Alvarez, i.e. most boxers...i think most people see a high chin as more of a liability than a benefit in vision or power. I can look through my "brow" and still see my opponents face and feet. But to each their own! Glad you train Jitz tho! Lol
You're applying stuff that potentially only applies when in close proximity to someone punching you in the face to a totally different problem in a different context, and that is sub-optimal. And Anderson Silva and any current boxing or MMA champ shows that the tucked chin is a thing of the past.

Thanks for watching!
John's really dialing into that instructor role. Well done by all 🇺🇸
John has a real talent for being quick yet getting a lot of concepts understood well. Good lessons and well taught.
So cool how a lot of martial arts principles translate over to operating guns.
Great lesson. I love it! I bought 2 containers of POM last week. Carry it all the time when I go out.
Great idea!
Both me AND my fiancé NEVER leave without our POM OC. Doing great John, as always.
Keep it up.

I guess I need to start passing out more of those!
At least a husband and wife pair! Lol
Love this!! I’m teaching my 11-year-old to shoot and these are awesome for him!

The body works how it works. :)
And good on you for being skeptical and testing it!!! I love it.
Another great session. Wish I had this kind of instruction when I was young.
You and me both!

Your niece is well on her way to being better than seventy to eighty percent of discrete carrier's out there... great job
Her skills are killer! Let's hope she will never have to use her firearm
I hope my niece gets into firearms and self defense in general, so we can make videos like this. She's my stand in daughter until I have kids.
i learn something new with each video. Thanks
Really enjoying this series!!!

So much good stuff here!!
I like this content a lot. I will probably take from this to teach the tiny mammals in my life how to shoot. Thanks for the lessons John!
Love these series!
Thx a lot
The “stand up straight and lean back” is appropriate for air pistol target shooters, but not for something with recoil.
Oh, I think if you watch the channel awhile and see her progress, you might get some insight.
@@ASPextra I was trying to agree with you and provide support for your statement.

Yeah, spinal alignment in natural position is best.
Good series 🏆🏆🏆
Thanks! Natalee is the best.
"Range Monkey" My 1st job came with a title too.
Sweeper Boy 🧹 😏
Haha!
Mine was Mop Boy.
Without balance you have no power.
I tilt my head back, not for balance, but to see my sights through the bottom part of my glasses. Maybe a red dot would help.
I had same issue; got a red dot. Yep, it definitely helps. I now have red dots on all 4 of my pistols.
Yeah when you're using bifocals that makes it difficult. A pistol mounted optic might be a good solution.
@@ASPextra Okay for a red dot on a pistol that could be used anywhere up to 15 yards, what MOA of dot should be used?
Why point the elbows down? How does that make the grip stronger? Also what can we do to lock/stiffen the wrists to minimize muzzle flip? Thank you
It doesn't. Elbows to the side is far stronger if you don't have much arm strength; stops your arms from folding up under recoil.

🙌 hurray
blink if you are being held against your will
Your theory behind stability was almost there. If you're going to instruct people about stability and balance you should learn more about stability and balance before you instruct them.
Oh, I would say it's there.
👍👍👏
Hiding your chin in a fist fight isnt a bad thing.
Meh. Being able to see and generate power is more important.

@@ASPextra like when Wiedman knocked him out with his chin in the air? All respect to Spider! Absolute legend.
don't lift your chin up when fighting!
