Learn the different Ranges of Combat | Special Forces Close Combat Techniques | Tactical Rifleman

I thought US Army SOF doctrine was NOT to kick? I thought it puts you off-balance. Did SF change this training?

The Jiu Jitsu guys are extremely pissed watching this video 😂. Even a special forces soldier said it, you can't go to the ground in a real fight because you are vulnerable on the ground if people other than your first opponent interfere

Absolutely love the videos.

Good stuff

The big thing for me is to be able to keep myself together. Not only to learn to use my anger but control to still think straight.

Going for the nose and getting those eyes watering is another good one for clinch range.

Very good. Thank you very much

Great stuff!

🔥🔥🔥

Good Info from a experienced man.....

Thank you for sharing.

"...any weapon we pull out can be used against us". Classic tip we rarely hear. But something ALL of us should keep in mind. man or woman.

Saw a video this morning where it was suggested that women should carry folding nives. That had this 20 year old college student been carrying a folding knife she might be alive. I disagreed immediately. Chances would have been she would have fumbled to get it out of her bag or pocket. And likely the knife would hve been taken ramping up the violence level against her. Most women have 10 deadly weapons on them at all times..their nails. Can never be taken from them (well not NEVER but..highly unlikely). Can be used at close range. Best at close range and effective. She can claw the eyes of her attacker then run away if possible. Odd no one teaches that in any women's self-defence class..i digress.

Good basic info many might not be aware of...

Don't punch because you may break your hand... but do try to finger their eyes and jab the throat because there is a zero percent chance of breaking a finger that way... okay...

Very good, thank you very much

Axes and shields need to make a comeback

WELL DONE MAN

Thank you for ordering combat ranges for us. For information one would think is intuitive, it is oddly helpful to organize my EH CQB mindset as ranged and which tools are appropriate and when. Knowing the why behind my training really makes that intuitive or training/reactive immediate action that much quicker and effective. More than that, if going to the ground is unacceptable then I really need to raise my level of aggression and change my civilian mindset from one of escalating force as the situation dictates to an immediate and highly favorable end to any unarmed or EH event that requires my participation. I know the haters will be saying I should already know this and think this way, but I call BS. While I am a veteran, I am in reality a 50something civillian training for something I hope to God never happens. BTW I love the way you rock the word “Growin”!!!

US need more guys like this in it's rank's, for he has a blank mind.

Good thorough explanation!

He looks like a cartoon action figure from the g.i. Joe cartoon.
Great video!

Do you guys answer questions in the comments? I have a few questions

Good info thank you.

Is there any point, any point at all where I would have (r be able) to j-hook a man's anus in hand to hand combat? If so please tell me more, such commentary would be more than mildly endearing.

Badass!!

That's right avoid the ground

Very quick and dirty want see more

Very good. Thank you very much

Instructor Bowen, I appreciate your time in presenting these videos. The subject matter must be your specialty as I saw you in The Selection and thought they should have kept the show up. You and a couple of the other instructors are now in the limelight as I have seen others in other programs courtesy of the History Channel. How does it feel to be a celebrity and has it become an issue for you?

Great info great job Green berets

If you want to take him out of the fight throw the elbow into his nose. Crinkles it up like paper and odds are hes fucked. Throat stuff has long been proven to stun or shock more than any of that stupid movie stuff. Ask any martial artist. Elbows and knees or knee him and get him thrown off balance to create distance.

Ear drum

Liver shot dudes

Do you do knife disarming videos etc?

Very true

What if you have a bayonet fixed on your rifle?

Great video, true everything you said is real,true

He looks like this Navy Seal from the tv series "Seal Team"

Selecting the right rocks for the right reasons. Hell Fuzzy, Young David selected five smooth stones... when in the end it only took but one of the five to knock Goliath down to allow acess to his neck and sever it from his body. The other four stones to draw on, were for Goliath's Father & 3 other brothers, who for certain were watching from their battle line. Reckon David's *insurance thought was, blood's thicker than water. But the water of life he was toten in his heart was ready to put them other 4 fuckers fires out as well. Multiple Ranges Indeed!

Thank's TR just catchin' up on the posts i'd missed along the trail. Keep the redistribution of ammo & armor comin'. -former sgt.11b4p 82nd 4318

"If we have to kill him, we'll kill him. Point blank" baddass.

I had the pleasure of being Donnie's sparring partner for a month of training. Good dude while sparing he taught me a lot. Rock On Tactical Rifleman and Donnie! All the Way!

Where I life just twirling a stick can be a misdeemer.  It is not because I doubt the effectiveness of this but I think that needs to be mentioned.  Though there is a lot of truth to this.

Very good instruction and video. To the point.

Hey bud fun fact you can use your rifle as a weapon

Nice!

Don is a badass, he was on the show The Selection on the History. He's truly a silent professional

pls don't many talk,just do it

You go brother Nous Defions
