I've been reading some of Marcus Wynne's books lately, and I stumbled onto his blog page, where he talks about his system of "neural-based training." Does anyone here have any experience with his methods? I tend to be a bit skeptical about all this neuro woo-woo, but I'm not a cog-sci type, and I don't want to be overly dismissive if his stuff does work.

Specifically, I have my doubts about is his claim that you can use time dilation to give yourself more processing time under stress. I was always under the impression that time dilation was due to increased detail in memory, not due to increased speed of mental processing. The rest of the methods he writes about I am not as doubtful of, although I am not sure if they are as groundbreaking as he makes them sound.

Jeffery Bloovman is a student of Wynne and teaches using his methods.

I am a big fan of Bloovman he teaches out of the Philly area.

Also SouthNarc has some experience with Wynne, I remember his comments being fairly positive.

For whatever it is worth, I highly doubt that we as a species have anywhere near a complete understanding of the way the brain works. I would take anyone teaching a neurophysiology-based firearms class and/or tactics with a big old medieval trading caravan sized bag of salt.

I've never heard of this sort of training before, but for the sake of conversation, we can know that something works without understanding it. Edward Jenner starting immunizing people quite a while before Koch was born, much less writing postulates. Nevertheless, I agree that a healthy dose of skepticism is appropriate.

Bloovman interviews Marcus Wynne

My review of Bloovman's class this summer with William April.
Dr April stated at the end of the class that the improvements in accuracy and speed where amazing for a two day class.

Evidently Greg Ellifritz and him are friends as well



For a very good compilation go here http://www.activeresponsetraining.net to my friend and colleague Greg Ellifritz’s excellent blog.
