James Yeager - The Martial Art of Guns

[NIFT]

Don't know anything, personally, about Yeager, but he does have a "checkered" background. In the video below, he is said to be the driver of the lead car who bails and runs across the road to stay prone in the swale while three of his compatriots are killed.

Controversial? Indeed.
From 0:45 to 0:52 in the video below, he says he teaches people to eject the round from the chamber first and then take the magazine out.

I think I'll "pass" on his teaching.

Wow, I am surprised that I actually agree with Yeagers main point that he sums up at the end. Though maybe if he didn't offend so many categories of students, he could make enough money from teaching to not have to sell sex toys online.

WOW.....I've heard people mention this video clip...but never actually watched it........that was enough for me, he won't see of mine

I can understand prone. I can even see falling back slightly to gain better position/cover, but WITH your team!!...LOL he flat out sprinted away from the fight didn't even try to grab a buddy to drag away.....can't tell if he was returning fire or not and the video kinda sucked...but that was enough for me...LOL

thanks for the video

I can't really criticize what he did because I have never been in that situation or even in a firefight. Seems to me though that broadside in an unarmored vehicle, taking pkm rounds is the last place I want to hang out.

It is easy to armchair quarterback. Lots of quarterbacks on INGO would have never made it out of that car being 80lbs overweight and all.

I am not 80 pounds overweight....
I also know what I would and would not have done in that situation...

Actually Pranks are my favorite past time...

Does anyone have personal experience with him who can set me straight if I'm wrong?

It's always nice to see so much smack talk from a group of people who have never even met the man.

I worked for Yeager for 8 years. I'm comfortable saying I know him better than anyone else who has posted in this thread.

Yeager is a strong personality and if you can cope with that you'll be better off after training with Tactical Response. The bottom line is that Tactical Response is near the top of a short list of schools that actually makes their students better fighters.

TRUE......never be the first to pass out!

I knew him in Iraq...
I knew his Team in Iraq...

You make several bold statements there. I have kept from slinging mud against Mr Yeager here in this thread, as that is not the intent of this thread. Why don't you not throw mud yourself you might just bust a Window in your Glass House...

Not really what?
He isn't a strong personality? You will not be better off? It isn't the bottom line? They are not near the top of a short list? You will not become a better fighter if you attend one of their schools? Not trying to be a smart ass, I'm just not sure what you disagreeing with.
