I found this video informative and thought provoking and will be exploring his versions in dry and live practice. I thought I'd share for those who aren't on social media.

SUL is also dumb and I was guilty of using it for a long while. Finally had a mentor see me using it and asked me some questions that’s led me to the realization it was silly.
I believe temple index can be useful, not in the context of cqb as stated in the video. That's not the intent of temple index. I believe it's applicable in the context of moving positions without flagging people. Example in a vcqb situation, if you had to fire rounds and exit your vehicle, you may use temple index while exiting and moving to the rear of your vehicle and use your vehicle as cover and gain distance.Quote:

Were you using SUL on raids with minimally trained third world cops ?
SUL was developed as a technique for lowest common denominator cops in Brazil to working groups, moving around each other in tight spaces while minimizing muzzling. It does what it was intended to do in the context it was developed for. Like Temple Index, it's not meant to be a general ready position and is more of a "pass through" position.

Pannone is great. Took his Covert Carry class a couple years ago and it was fantastic. I would totally take it again. I took a lot away.Quote:
