I love that Ben recognizes that he can put these out for free, and it won't affect his value proposition. That's the difference between the traveling carnival model and someone with a well developed product.
Full class with a mic!? YEESSSSSSS Thank you Ben, much much appreciated :) I wish I could take a class with you, I would in a heartbeat if you were around my location. Thanks again!
6:35 Fascinating. The way Pros grip their weapons hasn't changed much in the last 350 years. "Grip the long sword with a rather floating feeling in your thumb and forefinger, with the middle finger neither tight nor slack, and with the last two fingers tight. It is bad to have play in your hands." - Miyamoto Musashi, The Book of Five Rings, 1645
That’s pretty cool. I have a copy of something called the Flower of Battle, I think a 15th is century text from Europe on armed combat at the time. I’m curious if I’d find something similar in it now that you’ve mentioned this.
Incredible instruction, thanks so much for posting this, Ben! One of my favorite lessons was from 1:30:00, when you're talking about deliberate, real dryfire practice. I do that fake shit all the time, started to realize it was doing nothing for me! 1. Write down bad habits. 2. Work on each one, one by one, for 3-5 minutes every day for two weeks. Be deliberate and conscious of the mechanics/techniques, is it right? yes/no. 3. Use live fire practice for the test, whether your dryfire practice is improving your bad habits. Hope to take a class with you someday. Until then, hope you're classes stay full and no student accidentally hip-hops ya haha.
There is no way to thank all the sharing of knowledge that Ben puts out to the world. I am a police officer in Portugal, I have just started at IPSC, I have been following every video of yours, I have your books and without a doubt my understanding and shooting proficiency has improved drastically. I really appreciate all the content you make available to the general public. Believe me, it helps a lot. Big hug and continuation of great work as always. 🇵🇹👌🙏💪
Hello Ben, I've been watching for a while and learning a lot. Regarding being true target focused it hit me today and a best way to explain it. I've been working hard at mastering it and today the light bulb went off. When you're truly target focus, the dot will look like it's projecting on the target. It will look one dimension. The dot will look like a laser projecting on the target and not a dot on the glass with a target.
Man, I'm glad I found this channel however many weeks ago after a guy on reddit said something akin to "Ben Stoeger says grip doesn't matter." Turns out I've been doing *everything* wrong -- probably why I couldn't do a tight group even at five yards! Putting a whole class on the TH-cams is above and beyond.
Absolutely true what Ben says about people only being able to concentrate on one thing at one time. I learned that lesson from playing golf. You can't have multiple swing thoughts.
Thank you sir, I followed along with your class and improved my dry fire in less than 15 minutes. I’ve been getting wrist pains due to how hard I’ve been clutching the gun my dominant hand 😂
Does target focus training with a red dot work with iron sights? Or does having to line up the front and rear sights make it not work as described in the lesson?
the visual reaction to red while focusing on targer, does this work with irons too somehow? im a relatively new shooter, i do focus on target and it feels good but would like to start training faster shooting eventually.
This is actually really helpfull to me. Thanks Ben, you're the best!
Nobody else is putting out material like this. Insane the value that’s right here on YT for free. Thank you Ben!!

Retarded value.

I'm a huge fan of Ben's teaching style. I don't understand how he doesn't have a million+ subscribers. Best I've ever seen!
Because he doesn’t have a beard and isn’t covered in tattoos.
@@Heywoodthepeckerwood I have a beard and tattoos 🤣
The pusher, the shover, the hardly even know ‘er; Has dropped a bangeeeeerrrrr

This is great. Putting these videos out with full instruction makes me especially more likely to search this guy out for my upcoming training class.

Turns out I've been doing *everything* wrong -- probably why I couldn't do a tight group even at five yards! Putting a whole class on the TH-cams is above and beyond.
Amazing that Ben just puts this out there. Sign me up.
thanks Ben, you are always helpful in small doses but 1.5 hours is just awesome.
Ben helps so many shooters with this kind of videos. The best Ambassador for the sport👌🏻
Ton of good info as usual. The comments about focus of training and frequency of training at the ~40:00-41:00 could be it's own video.
Absolutely true what Ben says about people only being able to concentrate on one thing at one time. I learned that lesson from playing golf. You can't have multiple swing thoughts.
Now I have something to watch after work 😅thanks Ben 🤜🏼
The best instruction in You Tube. Thanks, Ben you are doing us a great service by uploading these videos.
This is beyond good! Thanks man.
Awesome!!!! Thank you! If ever get where I am not a total embarrassment I am taking one of these classes!
Ben thank you SO SO MUCH for putting this out can’t thank you enough for this video!!!
Thank you sir, I followed along with your class and improved my dry fire in less than 15 minutes. I’ve been getting wrist pains due to how hard I’ve been clutching the gun my dominant hand 😂
Thanks for posting this!
Thanks. Excellent drills. A great virtual class!
Thank you Ben.
Thanks for this.
Come to San Francisco Bay Area/Northern California!
Thanks man as always. I hope you can come anywhere close to Pensacola, Fl. I'll be the first to register... I'll hold your for ya too.
Thank you!
This was priceless . Thanks
Thank you for posting this.

Hello!
Would it be possible for you to make a video explaining how to train moving targets?
greetings from Brazil!
Murilo Dalponte
Thanks so much!
This dude rocks !!!!
The Full Monty Baby!!! Yeeeeh Ben the 🐐... dude's gotta be getting mail bombs from all other utube gun self acclaimed guru's. 😂😂love it
Shoutout to Nicole
awesome thank you sir
Dang I didn’t realize you were coming to MN.
Does target focus training with a red dot work with iron sights? Or does having to line up the front and rear sights make it not work as described in the lesson?
“You guys are not lively. I do not approve.” 😂😂
the visual reaction to red while focusing on targer, does this work with irons too somehow? im a relatively new shooter, i do focus on target and it feels good but would like to start training faster shooting eventually.
Spicoli lives!
This is awesome since I wasn't able to make this class 😂
When you coming back to A-Zone for Karl Rehn's students, man???
Where do you list your class offerings? I'm curious if you're going to be in my area...
RENTON 🤯
You are the man
Damn didn’t know you were coming to Washington, I’ll have to pay better attention
You will see a lot of instructors use Ben’s methodology, making them their own, without giving him any credit!
Hey Ben, What distance do you zero your pistol red dot?
Who would have thought that the best shooter in the world wasnt some SF guy, its fucking Ben 😂
Awesome. What range was this in WA?
Renton fish and game
Oh come on!
But what about my kinesthetic alignment? Did you zero your intent before you put your underwear on?
50:48 JJ Racaza over complicates the sh’t out of everything.

🦦🦦🦦
World Champion sharing his process. In what other sport does a guy of this caliber give you all the answers. Spoiler Alert….DO WORK.
Lol, in the most neutered state possible?
People pay hundreds for classes that give you less than what Ben's giving out for free! 💯💯💯
