- This is part of the ShivWorks' ECQC Course 'Extreme Close Quarters Concepts' created and taught by Craig Douglas aka 'SouthNarc'. In this video, Craig Douglas teaches retention shooting from the high-pectoral index and puts retention shooting in real-world context. These concepts are tested on the range with live fire and then in hand-to-hand fights in a martial arms gym.

I do believe we ALL owe John a debt of gratitude for this one☝🏼. I honestly believe that this is the first ever “training of a trainer” video I’ve ever seen presented in such a clear and concise manner; and not just another trainers collaboration. Complete respect for the extreme amount of value provided. A HUGE thank you to everyone @ WPS which make this possible. God Bless you and your family Mr. Lovell ! 🙏🏼🇺🇸❤️
Yep. What Brian said.
If you haven't heard it yet InRange TV along with P&S do a long Pod Cast with Craig Douglas and talk about a ton of Information. While it's not as dynamic as watching video it's still worth the time investment.

What he said😁
Absolutely true. The amount of intrinsic value provided here was far beyond measure. Thank you and god bless.
Seeing John's meticulous approach, and his serious, focused, demeanor is also inspiring. That's how to be a good student when you take training.
I honestly disliked this channel when I was young and dumb. But now that I’m old and dumb it is phenomenal. This particular video is one of, if not the most, objective training video. It’s a solid, trained shooter, taking pointers from a solid trained shooter without mouthing back to show viewers “I know” or “me too”. Brilliant content here.
This is some exceptional detail for free TH-cam training. I can take this to the range and certainly improve. Thank you Sirs
buy them a drink/dinner if you run into them
Bryan W I agree....thank you so much for the amount of teaching...will practice that! greetings from a police officer from Germany 🇩🇪
What up bud!
*John makes it look so smooth & easy*
county sheepdog - haha funny seeing you over here 👍🏻
you are correct, John makes this stuff look easy, my target would not look that consistent!
Just shows how much you can learn by actually taking a class from them.
What an exceptional look at a great course. Thanks for doing this John!
Watching you get coached made me forget how much of a pro you really are, but then at 21:05 the reload just knocked back to reality. It is so impressive seeing you move and reload so SMOOTHLY and quickly
Yeah, for real!
I have to say, i hardly ever saw a better example for an (hard worked for) expert high Level of Training than this one! Absolutly amazing, muscle memory plus control. Working absolutly natural, no thinking involved, but beautyfully executed, and not firing a Bullet from an unsafe Range Position. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yeah both of them are a couple of no BS machines.
That reload was sexy
And Craig didnt even mind him breaking away and manipulating the pistol up range from him because he knows he's a pro.
Craig Douglas seems like an excellent teacher. He clearly articulates what he wants you to know, shows you how to perform the action, and then clearly issues commands. Great vid!
One of the best videos I've ever seen offered on TH-cam. Extremely generous of Craig to allow you to share this content with us. Like doctors make the worst patients, instructors can often make the worst students, but you showed grace and poise in your attentiveness, John, as expected. Fantastic stuff - much appreciated!
One of the best “non-verbal” training tips in this entire video was about 21 minutes in. John’s reload after his second shot was actually an amazing FREE professional tip!! Watch John’s footwork and created space during his reload. Most folks, including myself, would probably simply reload while just standing still during the practice drill. I personally want to thank you, John, for showing us what a real life reload should look like if ever engaged in this type of self defense situation!! Many many thanks! God bless.
My thoughts to a tee
I love how despite you being an instructor, when you're being instructed you listen and hustle (got 30rds on your body, go get it.....John was gone!). Thank you for sharing.
Tire1 respect for the trainer by not waisting anybodys time👌
This guy just got a new sub just for that.
Yeah I get the respect part, but I thought that was really weird. Be timely and respectful but we are all adults here. I actually lol’d
@@dwarfcargospel7581 John is former military and just by watching I can tell the instructor is/was as well. This a literal drill instructor being a drill instructor and John being a proper trainee. If the roles were reversed it would be the same. John will no doubt train on this and then instruct it himself. There is no messing around when it comes to live fire close quarter drills. Make no mistake, this is a very dangerous drill. Train Smart, Train hard. This is exactly how it should be done.
John’s a master.
That reload at around 21:00 while stepping was awesome! You really thought on your feet and reacted light speed while making space, really impressive good job!
Whaaaat? Training based on actual research!!!! Who'da ever thunk it possible? Good presentation guys
fantastic work guys
Craig is a beast
I cringe when I see people shooting with the “soccer mom” stance. You know, knees way apart, almost squatting with butt sticking out and arms locked.
Once again John doing a great job helping civilians become better at being able to defend their self as safely as possible. Thanks to both John and Craig.
John is an exceptional example of a person that is completely dedicated to improvement. His ability to sit back and listen to others regardless of the training he has already received is the reason he is one of the best!
Big thanks
A good teacher never stops learning.
Totally agree. The best Alphas, protectors, lovers, warriors, etc are the ones who humble themselves to the point of always learning and never thinking they "got it." Like Bruce Lee...bend/adapt like water.
@@mr.nobody2926 Well said, it's amazing how many ppl think being a hard ass with a big ego makes you "alpha" True alpha's have the confidence to humble themselves and learn from others.
Craig, you’ve got every box checked that I can think of: knowledge; expertise; experience; patience; training methodology that works; extensive study and research to test and prove your technique; humility; character; mentality of a teacher vs an instructor (I know you know the difference); safe; effective; limits speaking during training session to only what is necessary to make the point, teach the tactic, and progress the student, maximizing the use of your time and the student’s time (which equals more bang for the buck); does not waste time overdoing the naming the myriad variables in the myriad scenarios that can be encountered; incorporates situational awareness and concern for collateral damage into the training methodology; and on and on. You are the real deal, the whole enchilada, brother.
The work you have put into your approach to training, what you are training, and how you train it, shows in every move you make, every word you speak, and every progression to take the student from crawl to all out sprint, progressively combining steps which quickly create muscle memory that is precise, deliberate and effective. Amazing to witness. If Master Trainer were a recognized title in weapons handling instruction, you would have to be the guy certifying the Master Trainers. Bottom line, I’m thoroughly impressed and hopeful to learn from you, some day. In the meantime, for now, its TH-cam in my basement (non-live fire, of course). Highest regards!
Praying for you and your family constantly. I hope 2019 is prosperous, and full of great memories. 🙏🏾
Deeply appreciate this
Swamp fox 1776 - don’t take supplements that haven’t been confirmed by the FDA. Stick to ibuprofen
@@bryanw4582 ibuprofen ruined my gut and led to lots of stomach issues, including now being allergic to ibuprofen.
I'm new to firearms so Not quite comfortable enough with my weapon yet for this kind of drill but can't wait to try it when I am
The fact that you recognize this fact is great! There's PLENTY of people out there that think they could do it no problem
Same!
I just bought my first firearm
Decided to go with home defense with a m&p9 2.0 17 round handgun.
Havent bought ammo yet either. Going to become completely comfortable with the gun in my hands and breakdown/cleaning before i ever put rounds into it
I grow up in Martial Arts and just got into firearms. I still won't try this yet. Good for you for taking your time. We have the right to bear arms, but you have to understand the responsibility.
I suggest getting a replica air pistol and trying the drills with that. Sig makes exact replicas of their p320, 226, etc in air pistols.
@@silentlandthousandvoices as an airsoft player we do these drills with friends so we can actually shoot without harming each other so the day we actually have to do it with firearms we have muscle memory, we just repeat the drills with firearms against paper targets
21:34 Absolutely beautiful performance and execution. John is a great student.
Awesome to see a video where even someone as proficient as John Lovell still reaching out to continue learning. It really demonstrates a good teachers dedication to the eternal warrior ethos mindset. No matter how good you are at something you can always keep learning and training. Keep up the good work and awesome/instructional videos. Semper Fi!!
You are an exceptional student of martial firearms John. I love your work and admire your dedication to getting better rather than complacent. Your skill is far higher than mine and I aspire to someday reach your level of professionalism. 10/10.
Weapons retention is paramount when dealing with a combatant. Awesome video by an awesome dude, keep it up 👍
Gorilla Group Tactical It definitely requires some training. An average person with a CCW would panic under stress like that.
Whether or not you agree with what he is teaching, there is no arguing that he is an excellent teacher. He presents the context, provides clear instruction, and gives feedback.
great info and logical techniques
Mrgunsngear Channel Yeah, especially for the enemy. They will Totally not get this knowledge and incorporate it into their training. They're all are a bunch of blabbermouths, and honestly, in my personal opinion, treasonous pigs for basically giving away this knowledge for anyone and everyone to see on the GODDAMN internet!!!!!
Magic Mike everything our enemy knows, we taught them
@@anonymousshawn9996 OF COURSE. Don't we always? When our gov'ment started becoming a bureaucracy in the 30s, that was the begining of the end of the Republic. The bureaucrats have decided who to train, supply, and fund. They have also decided who to target and how to target them.
Magic Mike Magic Mike Yeah I know, but they shouldn't give away every technique and move just for $19.99 DVD and a $500 seminar..... Those same techniques are then used against us. Hell, the only card we still have is how to make nukes... And I'm 100% convinced these fuck-head "Shooting instructors" would give that information away for the reasonable price of $1000 or best bidder, heck they would even throw in bonus material of how to drive tanks and operate missile silos for being the first 100 to place an order...... Basically, these idiots are, in my opinion, the offspring of Private SNAFU, just telling anyone and everyone anything they wanna know... What gets me is how the people they served with don't beat their fucking ass for breaking the vow of silence. That kinda shyt gets our own soldiers killed yet they don't think about that; all they're concerned with is how many likes and subscribers they have and how many copies of their DVDs are sold......
@@anonymousshawn9996 Traitors? Chill out. Just the opposite. And logically the good guys here out number the bad guys by 5000 to 33. Not trying to stir up anything for your own ends are you?
The nuggets we get from a training the trainer video between these two practical/logical teachers is on another level. Thanks
13:20 I want that John Lovell trigger discipline, rumor has it, John's trigger finger is always locked in index until ready to fire.
Watching one master take instruction from another master is inspiring.
10:58 How many of us jumped back a little like John did? I was sooo not expecting a shot at that moment :)
He just went into with no warning. Like shooting candy lol.
He did state that we was going to talk and shoot in the same instruction though lol
that was way too funny
It's not funny though, I'm sure he wouldn't shoot without identifying his target and beyond it but if the camera man decided to walk around with no warning of a live fire, but again you just have to assume that his gun is loaded and ready to fire so do not get in front of it, a warning would be nice
@@ML-ks2lj he literally said he’s gonna be firing while talking
Absolutely awestruck with how in depth and high quality your videos are John. Keep on kickin’ ass!
What a great free lesson. You two are my favorite instructors, and I hope to have the privilege to be at some of your classes soon.
Please continue your ever evolving teaching/learning. You bridge the divide.
John your level of intensity during training is inspirational. That's how it should look folks!
Just want to give you props for your LACK of ego or pride and always being a student and treating others with such respect .
Thanks John and Craig. On all three videos, both knives and vertical and horizontal defense posturing for live fire in ECQC. In Kung Fu the elbow is a defensive posture and does hurt. Also hand and eye coordination techniques. Knowing what the other hand is doing at all times. Excellent!!!!
Love Shivworks (and John of course)! Nice info...great work!
The joint ops vids are always excellent. As a keyboard warrior I feel like I get better just watching (it's OK to snicker here). Bet Craig never had a more apt student than John. Wow you guys must luv us.
Great job guys. I like the longer format.
Great video!!!! I love how he just takes all the training and not trying to out talk the instructor like so many other do!!!!
love how safe you guys are staying throughout this process too. this is invaluable info!
Dude your reloads are so SICK! I literally jumped OFF my chair and freaked out over-nerding at how well that was done!! Good job!! You did that without him even having to say anything. I think HE was surprised (or maybe not since you’re John)
This series with his classes (together with the wrestling one) is some of the best content from this channel. This is easily the most practical and helpful video I’ve seen from WPS, and that says a lot because the content is always so good!
Clear audio /visual step by step instruction. This instruction video will be used in my next close quarter drills thank you so much for this excellent up to date information !
I can't believe they put this on youtube for free. Good on you guys, some real value here.
some of the smoothest magazine changes iv'e ever seen holy shit!
Thank you! I saw the late Paul Gomez demo this position, but seldom anyone else. Craig demoing this is much appreciated.
Very cool video. Awesome to see those drills and how much thought is behind the technique.
So simple, but powerful, get clocked on the jawline, out of the fight. Been practicing dry fire, protecting my jawline using these two techniques, Craig Douglas is a National Treasure, as a combative instructor!
You’re a hell of a student, Lovell! I feel like I owe Mr. Douglas some money right now. I have to train with him!! Thanks guys (cameraman too!)
I agree completely. Have you noticed the intensity of the comments here this week. Wonder why it seems to have touched a nerve?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that is one of the most usefull training videos I have seen yet.
If only you knew someone at WarriorPoetSociety to get you a new polo! Great video, and for all the smart and hard training lessons.
... I think this is one of the BEST close quarter defense video's on the web ... have referred it to many and viewed it repeatedly as well ......Thank You for this ..
John you and your team are awesome. This is so much awesome content you just gave us for free. Thanks man, I know I for one really really appreciate it
That unexpected reload was brilliantly executed
Amazing course of instruction. Thanks to WPS and Craig Douglas. I was very impressed that Lovell was such a humble student too.
Nice work. Craig Douglas is nothing short of amazing in the field of Self-Defense. Great great video. You could watch that’s video 100 times and learn something new each time.
Excellent training content and sequences; and adherence to the 'show / demo / direct' pattern. I have rarely seen better (and so carefully controlled) teaching than this on a complex and physical topic - and I have seen a lot, albeit not in a gun/range context. This video is an excellent example, not just in the specific range topic, but in teaching techniques pure and simple.
Took ECQC back in September of last year, and this is actually a great refresher for the material. Can't wait to get my ass kicked again at the next class. Thanks for sharing - your content is always great, well shot and comprehensive.
John was surprised he actually fired @ 10:58 & flinched fo Real.
I know he was thinking this is sketchy !
That's the problem with CQC practice. A lot of the time you'll have to use your support and your weapon at the same time.
Craig’s the man. A true master of not only the techniques he teaches, but also how to articulate them in a way conducive to learning.
By odin that reload reflex at 2110 was superhuman
skyler honey Jesus brother
@@matthiasprice You believe what you want to and let the man believe what he wants.
What I really appreciate about this concept is how nicely that initial draw and index gets you in line with a high probability shot at popping the adversaries hip. Quickest way to immobilize an adversary (outside of a round in the brain stem) is to pop the hip. Rather they know they’ve been shot or not, they’re not going anywhere but down at that point.
ECQC is a great class! And yes, Ibuprofen - LOTS of Ibuprofen.
Wow. Props for this. This is VALUABLE, teachable and more than anything it is some of the most systematic and correct gradient training I've ever seen. Absolute gold mine. Thanks guys!
Your guys instructions are great. I am learning very quickly by watching these videos. Thanks guys. It feels like my dad sprung for private lessons.
Quote of all quotes, "...pop you a time or 5!" :-)
One thing i love about Johns videos is he teaches us how to be a good student while being taught. He was the student here but also knows when to be quiet and not the loudest guy in the room and in doing that teaching us how to be good students. Great job John!
Really great video. A lot of great learning, my eyes were glued to the screen the entire time!!!!
This has to be one of the best videos I've watched. So concise and so much valuable information.
Whoever was running the camera here did a fantastic job.
.... I've drawn this, popped you a time.... Or five... Lol. Seriously, great, great video. The value on this video CANNOT be overstated. Truly impressive to see two professionals, in their element. Trainer and trainee, communicating flawlessly. You can tell he's extremely satisfied and impressed with the way John follows instruction. Good show gentlemen, good show.
I have listened and watched this several times. Will play it again. I act out the moves. Probably the biggest take away for me is don’t shoot yourself. Most of the other training I watch focuses on target speed reload. Never really gave much thought about not shooting my self. Evening in training. Thanks guys!!!!/
I love this man , keep up the good work !
I don’t think everybody’s up to that drill be careful please!!! Good stuff.
Yeah, a lot of people shouldn't carry a gun for self-defense
William Groover; I agree.
Yeah, I would have to go through that many, many times very slowly before I felt comfortable doing it fast.
There is an old tv show in which I've seen one of the operatives use that horizontal fend several times. I've always wondered where that move came from. Now i know. An excellence course. Thanks, John!
It’s great to see John as an accomplished tactician, so willing and eager to learn new techniques. Hats off.
Great video I learned a lot about how I would have blown my fingers off in this situation if I had tried to do this without instruction.
Sounds like something I might say. Lol! Hi me. This is you from the future.
This is by far the most important self defense shooting video in the world. Given by two experts in their fields. This is what happens in real life. Absolute perfection.
"Can I make this sho...."pop!" of course i can" lmao
Absolutely diamond of a video. Felt like 10 minutes and still wanting to learn more. Out fucking standing! Thank you both!
I definitely have to practice this or I'm going to blow my hand off if I have to do it!! Time to buy some more training..
Mind blown.
The research, technique and training methodology that went into this are
World class.
Love the centerline and muzzle awarness.
IDK Im only an amateur.lol
Johnny Boy....your getting old and jumpy! Looks like that 1st shot at 10:57 scared the crap out of you. Lol! Just busting your chops. Still love your videos and would do anything to take a class with you. Heck, I'm only about 60 miles from you. You should invite me down some day.....or better yet, come shoot a USPSA match with us at CAPS(Coastal Area Practical Shooters). Thanks again for the videos.
jason beasley I always jump like that If I'm not expecting someone to be shooting. Haha
Learned a lot just like the Enhanced class I just took the get the Enhanced CC from Idaho. Love the videos. And I learn more every time I watch them. You guys are amazing!
This is awesome!!! Thank you! You got a sub!!👍
Welcome. Been here for 1 1/2. Great videos. Recommend them all.
Best training I've seen since the Corps !!!
Been a long time since I’ve watched this but I still hit the floor laughing when he shoots and John jumps @11:00
Best close quarters tactics I’ve seen yet. Excellent.
Thanks for allowing us to view this training session...tons of great information that I'll definitely practice in the future 👍👍👍
Ah shucks - I gave up wearing clothes for 2019
This is a comment I expect to see on Garand Thumb lol
colon carry.....
@Bill Bo Haggins LMFAO!🤣😂 Thank you, I am entertained!!!
8:32 war poet's humor is always the icing on the cake
Seriously one of the best channels out there on these subjects, no BS, both you and Craig did beyond a fantastic job. Always look forward to your material and Craig has gained a subscriber!
Craig is the last guy you want to be stuck in an elevator with during a fight
Not If he is on my side. With that being the case, I expect we walk out safely.
Troy Dodson you've obviously never met my ex wife.
Troy Dodson elevators are a great place to practice Tourette’s outbursts!
@jrg10332 Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Excellant! Real gunfighter drills. Thank you for sharing my March exercise to practice. For many newbies please take your time with this, slow is deliberate, deliberate is smooth, smooth and deliberate = fast.
This was awesome, especially if you carry a firearm and may come in close proximity of potential attackers...It's one thing to think about what you are going to do in close quarters gun fight. It is another to seriously think about it and go through the steps to doing it safely....A lot of trainers shy away from these type drills, because of rangism, and extreme enforcement of safety fuel by liability. Craig Douglas is not afraid to train. I truly appreciate that. Well done Gentlemen. RLTW/DOL
Great video. Gave a lot to take home and think about. I found your channel a few days ago. The first video I came across was talking about why you guys have been home schooling and it was right in line with a discussion my wife and I had been having. I also just bought a LCP2 with intentions of getting a concealed carry. I've been learning a ton from you and very much appreciate the content.
Thank you. I am on my church’s safety team. This training can come in handy especially since I am a BJJ blue belt
"Welcome to AO Shizworks, Today you will receive an explanation, a demonstration and a practical application in Shooting from Retention. Your Cadre today is 1st Sgt. Craig Douglas. "
Outstanding video! The angles, the audio spot on! Thank you tons for this. God bless!
It looks like a great class. I appreciate Craig and your demonstrations and explanations! Semper Fi!
When I first started carrying on a regular basis I was always concerned about my accuracy at 15 yards, and sometimes further. Getting more information from professionals like you two has helped me realize that's not why I carry. I carry for defense. That means I have already identified that fit has hit the shan and I am in a bad spot with seemingly no way out. Realistically, that's going to be up close and entirely too personal. techniques like this are far more important, in my opinion, that mid/long range accuracy. Objective #1: survive.
Your sample comment at 30:39 was hilarious. Thanks for all you do brother, I've learned a lot from your channel.
The instructor is excellent. I'm a teacher for a living. This video's really a gift to all of us.
