Combat Focus Shooting & Adv. Pistol Handling, May 2008:
 
It was a great class. The information shared was clear and concise and if not easily understood, explained. The class of shooters was outstanding everyone hit the ground running so to speak. problems were identified early and corrections made as needed. down time was minimal. Application of the techniques was explained and then done til it "makes sense". If you have not seen the" diagram of doom" you need to because in the context of CFS it does make sense. I just cannot figure out why the bald guy kept talking all the time! Rob has a lot of information to pass on to his class and does a great job of doing it.

My comments on the class:
 
-Rob teaches the entire class from a defensive perspective. Many training classes I've taken in the past have tried to cater to the defensive carry people, but come from a law enforcement background. Some of the tactics in those classes probably work really well for law enforcement, but may not necessarily work for concealed carry. Not so with this class. Everything was taught as a reaction to a Dynamic Critical Incident, not as an offensive tactic.
 
-Drills were not repeated more than two or three times. People naturally look for ways to "game" a drill if it's repeated too often. Choreography works fine on a range in a controlled environment, but doesn't work well in the real world.
 
-Robs teaching style is more cerebral than most classes I've attended. It's not "because it works for such and such group" or "because that's what spec-ops does", it's "because we've studied historical shooting incidents, and found this works", or "the body reacts this way, therefore you must work with your natural reaction to solve the problem".
