Footwork: Doorways

Hello Tier II and III,

I hope all of you are well!

Trying the publish without passwords and using the Patreon Exclusive feature on Vimeo to segment the Tiers. If it works I'll probably do this moving forward. 

Here's a video on footwork applied to doorways. Please ask any questions here and I'll make a video addressing them. This stuff takes a while to digest and apply but will help you not get caught up in the fatal funnel upon entry.

Tier III live coming soon and Fundamentals: Grip coming at you tomorrow!

Finished a good session filming this week and will be editing intensive and publishing heavy the next few weeks.

Thank you for supporting me on Patreon! Ya'll are making awesome things happen at Vigilance Elite.

Cheers!

Hi I’m tier 1 and can’t see video do I need to be tier 2 to see this video Amazing what you guys are doing top job guys

Michael

I am teaching Battle Drill 6 to a bunch of medical personnel tomorrow and this is tremendously helpful. Thank you for your clear concise instruction and thorough demonstration.

Doug

Depends on situation. We'll do more entry videos.

Shawn

Someone kind of asked this question but do you change shoulders depending on what side of the door you’re entering? Or do you just keep the rifle shouldered on your dominant side no matter what side you’re entering? Does it even matter that much?

Scott Kron

Thanks Derik! Going to make more videos like this later this year. The stairwell is on the list!

Shawn

Phenomenal video Shawn! If you’re running a two man team and you work on clearing a house that has a second story, do you split up and one the main floor and the other take the upstairs? Or do you clear each level together?

Derik German

Concept is the same but mirror the movements. Also drill both sides until it's fluid either way. 👊🏻

Shawn

Question for follow-up video: Is the footwork exactly the same for a left-handed shooter? Or is it the opposite? In other words, for the footwork you demonstrated for the right side of the entrance, do left-handers move that footwork to the left side of the entrance? And for the footwork you demonstrated for the left side of the entrance, do left-handers move that footwork to the right side of the entrance? Thanks, great video and instruction.

Shawn.... re watching this video... I just felt something was off.... I couldn’t put my finger on it.... then it hit me.... you didn’t yell “LEEEROOOOYYY JJEENNNKKINNNNNSSS” before you gained entry..... can we get a retake... and do fucking right!!!!

Tim Pruden

Thank you! More like this in production.

Shawn

Nice stripped down entry video. Thanks for emphasizing the importance of footwork.

Mike Medic

Right on! This will be a good followup subject.

Shawn

Shawn, good video. I finished my police patrol academy as a deputy sheriff about a year ago. Could you explain why entering a doorway should be performed like this. At the academy they always taught to slowly pie doorways (depending on circumstances IE a active shooter VS barricaded armed subject) . I imagine you have a lot more experience in this subject and just wanted your thoughts.

Tyler

Thanks! This is good stuff for the follow up video. 👊🏻

Shawn

Would also love to get your input on entrance to corner fed rooms. Maybe add some details such as if there is an obstacle near the door way such as a dresser or a chest. Also curious your thoughts of this entry style vs “slicing the pie”. Would firearm selection dictate that? Not sure if one is better for a particular weapon system versus the other (say rifle vs pistol). You did and always do a wonderful job of breaking down the instruction where it is easily manageable to pick up what you’re putting down. Thanks as always!

Alex Bracksieck

Thanks Oksana, more of this type in production. I appreciate the positive feedback!

Shawn

It is the most detailed video on foot work I ever had, thank you very much! Breaking down on smaller parts helped a lot, and repeating segments were very helpful.
