Developing sufficient speed for the task at hand. Hey guys, Brian Hill with the complete combatant. This video brought to you by Phlster. We're going to talk about how to develop speed in a proper context. There are three modes of training. We have accuracy and precision. We have speed and efficiency, and then we have performance mode. Accuracy says time has to be let go. Alright? The reward is the target as precisely and accurately as possible. Speed mode says the accuracy has to be let go to a certain extent, a bigger target done as efficiently and as quickly as possible. Performance mode says current level of skill. See your dot, call your shot. That's what you're at. Now how do we develop it? Why is it important in a fight? Everybody gets to vote. You get to take about five steps per second. You get to throw about five punches per second.
You can get stabbed five times per second. People can shoot about five rounds per second. Some people are faster than that. Some people slightly slow, but it's a good average. Another thing we want to realize is if somebody is nervous and they look away with their entire body and come back, that takes about a second and a half. So it kind of establish that a good draw should be a one five, but you don't want to just practice to the one five because if you bobble it all, you don't get the gun out correctly or you need to correct your sight, your draw becomes much longer. So we want to do is build a surplus of it, and that's what we do in speed training mode. Alright, we build a surplus of speed. Now we need to modulate it. Alright? Have about three speeds. One that requires no effort is easily accessible to you.
One that requires some effort, 80, 90% of the time it works. And then one that you're pushing as fast as you can and seeing how much you can get out of the speed and efficiency mode. Now sometimes you're going to flub the draw that happens in this mode. Take a mulligan, don't try to push through it. It's not that sort of training. We save that forward performance mode. I'm going to show you the three speeds that you should have. You need to have a timer to do this because our brains are very funny. In this state, the front of the brain shuts down. We call it hypo transient ality. And what happens is you don't tell time very well. So we need a timer to do that because when we do something efficiently and quickly, it often feels slow because it's well organized. We do something poorly, it feels very fast, but often it's slow because it was poorly organized.
So let's see what these look like. First all I'm going to do, this is my natural speed. I can do this on demand just about any time is a one, one, maybe a one second, somewhere in that area. Now I've worked ridiculously hard to do that and I don't expect you guys to do that, but this is accessible to everybody. Alright? If you do a little bit of practice, you work at it and you follow these training tips, you'll get there very quickly. Usually in class, I can train people to do this in about an hour, maybe two hours tops. Alright? So first draw easy. This should be about a hundred percent of the time. Occasionally I'll bob it, but I'm going to draw and fire one shot. Now it's at three yards. We're not worried about accuracy, we're in speed and efficiency mode. So the silhouette is my target. Alright, let's see how this works.
So there's a 1 0 3 as predicted right at one second. It's good alpha, it's just below the A. I really saw the sights on it and you can see I'm fairly relaxed. I don't have to think about it. I can feel that's very efficient. Now, if I had a little bit of problem getting to the gun and it cost me a quarter second, I'm still got a good draw. And if my sights needed correcting, or some of you I know a little bit afraid with a dot, you apply your correction, it cost you another quarter. Second, I have a one five draw. So that's what I've earned in speed mode. Now the next phase of this is to push a little bit. It's about an 80% success rate, alright? For me that's in the nineties. So 0.9, somewhere between 0.9 and one is where I have to push just a little bit. Okay? Let's see what that looks like. Now remember we're talking about training for speed. I am starting in the hands position, hands down position. That's okay. I could start in a hands up, cost me about a 10th overall to do that. I recognize that and I can do it from that position too.
Alright? Pressing for a 90. So well within my skill level, 80%, 90% of the time I can do a 91. That's what we got. Now it's right next to the other shot. So accuracy wasn't a problem. I'm still seeing the sights. I'm not just jamming the gun out there. I'm seeing something relative to the target. Alright? And I'm awful close, I get that, but I'm practicing running as fast as I can. You got to practice sprints to get faster. Now I'm going to push for a faster pace. This means that maybe it only works 60% of the time for me, I'm really pushing here. I'm going to try to get into the eighties. It means I've got to do everything as fast as I can. Oftentimes what we'll see in this mode is there's a little bit of bobble sport. Hand doesn't get to the gun until the very last instance.
Maybe you don't see enough of the sight, but what I'm doing is challenging my body to find the most efficient and the quickest way to move without overwhelming it with accuracy. Now, I'm one of the few accuracy shooters in the world, is kind of moved into the speed training performance mode and let go of that a little bit. So what happens to me is my accuracy doesn't go away, but I've got to press for the speed. I got to press for the speed. So I'm not going to rush, try a hurry, I'm going to try to do things sooner and be better programmed to do it.
There we go. Alright, so the accuracy just fine. I really saw the dot well, and to be honest, maybe I could be just a quick bit faster and maybe get to the seventies, but these are my training modes, alright? Now what that does is it gives me a feeling, a reservoir of skill. And I never want to leave the range in this training because maybe I'm not seeing quite enough. So now what I'm going to do is draw to the head, all right? So I reduce down to a four inch circle that I have on the head and I'm going to have to see enough of the.to fire two shots this time. So I pay attention, I call it gets me back into performance mode, which the only important thing in that is to see now I've gotten my skill all. So I'm going to watch the draw and it'll measure it separately on this timer and it'll give me a good idea what my draw time would be.
Now I'm going to work through this. No matter what happens, I'm not going to take mulligans on this. And if I need to correct my sights, I'm going to do so I know I'm real close to the target, but I have to see it. I'll show you the target. They're right next to the a's. All right? So it was a 1 0 8 draw and a 23 split. So that's very much within my skill level. Gives me a 1 31 to the head. The reason I did two shots is I found in training classes that the draw to one shot tends to not show up when multiple shots are in there. So I'm going to make sure that I do two shots when I draw now, and that gives me a chance to make sure that my draw is real. So an easy draw for me is a one 10.
Alright? It gives me sufficient space to fix whatever I need to do. Let's look at the target real quick. Alright? You can see the three right here and it's my last two shots. Alright? So it's pretty good. This is a good way to work on speed and training mode. Now listen, in speed and efficiency, you can't spend a lot of time on it, alright? Because you get tired quick. It's like trying to run wind sprints. You can't run a whole bunch of them. So I do a little bit of this, maybe three or four draws on each speed mode and then I go back to the regular. Alright? Don't grind this out. Be fresh. Work your way through it. Take mulligans when it doesn't work. That means do the draw over and then work on pressing in what it feels like to be quicker. Whenever I shoot very well like this, it feels easy.
That's what I want to feel. I want to feel efficient. For me, speed doesn't come from blinding movement. I'm not that quick as a human being, but I'm very efficient. I don't waste much. And I hope that'll help you move forward. Whatever your number is, work on it, chip it down a little bit at a time. You will get there, whatever you set your goal to. Alright? But you need to have the three modulations like that. Alright? I appreciate you guys and I appreciate ster for Holstering. This video, holstering hosting this video. And as always, guys measure, refine, and perform. I'm Brian Hill with a complete combatant.
