May 05, 2020
How are you? My name is José Medina. I am a 26-year active law enforcement veteran primarily focused on my career in law enforcement tactics and SWAT training. That said, I also have the APC company training team, where we carry out high level training for the

police

. SWAT teams in our kind of units and special operations teams, like in the military, today we're going to talk a little bit about some of the really interesting things that were in the original John Wick One movie and getting

right

into it, we're going to I'm going to talk about the different tactics that we use, so in the first scene of the John Wick movie, where they talk about when he goes into attack mode, where the Russian mafia hits the team that's coming, they're moving in a really good tactical shooting platform, meaning your feet are pointing towards this red area, which is always a big positive for instructors like me, seeing that you could say, hey man, they really did a good job of getting these guys moving towards the house, similar to

what

we do in Swat, the boys make their entrance covertly.

Quietly

what

awaits him, he engages in Han Han combat in shooting platform mode and,

right

out of the box, starts wasting some guys very quickly as the shootouts progress. I'm sitting there calculating well, what kind of weapon he's using compared to when, when. Is he going to reload or if he ever goes to reload and at one point he fires about eight rounds and all of a sudden you see him do a combat reload where he pulls out another magazine, inserts a new magazine and his agent a pistol and usually those rounds? The guns have about thirteen and a thirteen rounds and one in a chamber, so clearly he definitely definitely had enough ammo to be able to continue shooting, but he did a great job, so it was a good advantage in my opinion to do that reload.

Then there's another scene where he actually rolls with a guy, drags a guy, and shoots a guy down the hallway with one hand. The key here is that most of the time, in a lot of these movies, they'll do a gangster style Flint session where they turn around. the gun and sight are off in the horizontal plane and just shoot out as if only Flint fired, you can tell that he actually trained directly through the one arm platform, stabilized arm platform and accurate shooting, which was really Good to see he jumped. on a guy's back, even the extension of his arm was perfect, put it there, he shot the guy straight through the glass window area, while I guess it was a hallway in a dining room, so it was cool, then going into the second shootout scene, the combative scene is where they enter the nightclub and that's where it really impressed me.

He's pitching to guys. He actually shoots guys at close range. He shoots the guys at long range as they move through the crowd. He breaks through and while he does high blocks, that's basically it. Webber's intent is that the term gun hold is that if someone goes for your gun or your gun in your hand, you're trying to hold that gun, so you have to do whatever it takes, so what happens is that a high block occurs because someone is trying to throw a punch at you or can hit you, what if you can protect your head and in fact your elbow can be part of a weapon so if it comes up you can hit the person who is nearby? range creates that space just enough to just get that gun out so you pull it back let's say they have their hand on the gun you could catch the CreateSpace fire that fires multiple shots into the abdomen or upper torso and up then you could push that person out and back into the two-handed hole, which can be seen in much of the John Wick movie, at one point he even punches a guy in the throat, some people are like, oh my god, that's not It's realistic, the reality is that yes, it's like actually in a CQB environment where I go to a high block and now a fire is lit, I step back to shoot and then the guy keeps coming, I could take a hit at them like with a rifle, I'll hit a person with a cannon if they come at me if they're unarmed but they're coming at me, I can hit them with a cannon and wrap around them, wrap around the bow and take them down with it and in a moment he does another combat reload, reloads his weapon, it happens He notices at one point that his uncle's gun is empty and the reality is that there is actually in that area of ​​the scene, he will look down at one point, he will look down with his gun and some people will say and he will widen his gaze down, will hit his gun, you know it well because you noticed that it is empty and you ask something good.

SWAT

police

, any police officer that's there shoots a lot, even some of these NRA shooters and stuff like that, you know, sometimes, realistically, they're shooting in an area with so many rounds and they forget, and a lot sometimes I called tactical. CPR to look down and you know, hit the gun like, oh my god, it's not shooting, but they realize it should shit, it's empty in that same scene, it's actually moving down the hallway and it's actually you are swinging your weapon correctly just below your line of sight. It's actually what we call railing, where they put the gun close to the body for CQB, so when approaching doors to the left or right, you want to place that gunk close to your body so as not to penetrate a guy's view too much. evil. guy and at one point he's moving down that hallway, he's doing a great job doing it, so a lot of kudos in that area, I mean, they basically taught him how to move with that gun properly, where a lot of people do the old stuff, those young guys . old enough to know: Andy Dickinson, you know the cops down here and moving down a hallway leaving his upper extremities open, he's in close contact with his gun ready to fire at all times, there's another area of ​​a scene where in She's actually back to back with a guy. against uh like a drywall and he actually just turns his gun and flinches and fires a couple shots to the right side where he sees the guy and hits him in the foot.
Realistically, you can shoot through the cast and kill someone or injure someone. At the same time, you can back away when you get shot at from below and those bullets could hurt someone, so again, these are techniques that we actually teach in a law enforcement world. We didn't go outside the chains because obviously, fortunately in Hollywood, but again tactics go. Going back to the tactics, a lot of them were really right, so that scene was really good, then we moved it to the next shooting scene where he comes into the church and I can tell you that was another awesome scene where he comes.
Right at the priest he shoots to wound him, let him fall and basically temporarily incapacitate him and then he knows that these other guys in the pews are waiting for him and basically what he does is become known territories, as we call it. Basically you are turning, if you are going to go to the right you always turn on your right foot and turn this is where I want to go, turn back again in the opposite direction, hit the second guy, at one point there is a scene in that bank. shootout where he moves, twists, turns and reacts, it's the same in training him.
Steel target poppers come from different levels, they go up and that's what it was trained to react to, one appears, hits, steals, the second, ding, so when you put life and see bad guys coming at you, you can actually turn your body in different directions and that's how he was taught to deal with threats, that's why his muzzle discipline was just below the line of sight so you can hit his targets. No matter where you're going, a lot of people squint in real time and squint with that eye and then they have to hold that gun up to their eye, which is pretty cool, it's not hard to do, it's just you . you have half a frame where two open eyes watch you turn, turn, turn, turn and then the parking lot looks very impressed with the tactical movements, the elbows nice and tight, that's one of the keys, a lot of times you'll see a lot of these. shooting platforms with the rifles and elbows out, which is our old military Wayne style of shooting and has its place when it comes to CQB close combat movement and chasing people in attack mode who have their elbows tight to their body almost like a support element. moving left to right scanning left to right he's moving his footwork it's a nice speed movement basically it's a natural walking platform which is what we call as a B order service where we just walk naturally and he walks with the gun without without the barrel of the gun ricochets and heads towards his reactionary targets, which are the bad guys in this movie, the bad guys are shooting, he is reacting and he doesn't even see where he is actually firing multiple bullets through a vehicle and he and the bullets are going through the glass of the doors and he actually crouches while moving, he's constantly moving so he's doing a great job, he stays crouched because he goes through the glass of the vehicle and gets to the back on the driver's side so it does a good job avoiding again the tracking mechanism where it's moving and it's hard to hit the moving target and that's where it activates back and forth and although you know, I do a little gig on the one that he comes out with his legs wide open and he's engaging these guys even though he did that, his posture, if you look at his posture and the people who watch this video, you can say to yourself, look at his posture, his posture is in a fighting stance, so if he stopped and took a photo of him standing. next to that vehicle and you take the rifle out of his hand and you just put his hands there, he's in a normal combat stance, which is the way the most combative people are the number of Special Forces SWAT operators or just a homeowner who is trying to defend himself. himself you get a better shot if you stay like he did, so that's a big shout out from de la Créme, the final ending where they're on the dock and the Russian boss is trying to escape with his guys and John goes into a rage. with them. with his car and chasing him, he makes a 90 degree turn in his vehicle and shoots the guy, although it is an almost impossible shot to take again.
I just talked about the shooting platform, anything he did with his gun, whether it's the scene where he is. inside his car and he is shooting at people from the vehicle, they made sure his arm was extended when he took the gun out of his vehicle, his arm was stabilized so realistically, good one handed shooters, to tell you that They can shoot well with a good stable platform if his arm was bent inward and he was doing it like a gangster style blunt, you probably know he could have taken a couple of rounds fluttering at him, but the really accurate shots come when you have a good stable platform, so I repeat.
All those scenes where he's in his vehicle and he's shooting at the stable platform were really good for his arm, so kudos to him for that, so again that's where I can see that the movie was well thought out as far as special weapons and tactics. so let's talk about Keanu Reeves, how do you look at an actor like that, where would you like how would you greet him just seeing the training that he did and then keeping track of the background of him because he obviously he's in real life. He is a very discreet guy.
I think if he could take him to some of our SWAT training classes and specialty classes, I think he would be right up there with the best of them all. I think just from seeing a lot of intense exercises. that he did and add the MMA component to it, but just the gun handling tactics and stuff that he definitely has, you know, I give him at least a good one, you know, I would like to give a guy an A+, but since he's not in our Business, I give it at least a B-plus, you know, and over time and if you had more time because the tenants lasted as long as the operators and obviously the Special Forces guys know that they lead these things and he knows it and respect everything we do. and we respect him for all the hard work.
You know he's willing to sweat countless hours a day to get it right. We in law enforcement, even Special Forces guys and gals like you, know you can't make any mistakes in the movies he knows. and only in his interviews does he know that he can make his mistakes and improve on them. We want to make our mistakes in training, but in real life, when we go out, we only have one chance and if it doesn't work out. us, we might not come home alive, so he knows that's why I give them a good b-plus, you know, or an a-minus, just because of their heart, you know, forty showed thinking, thank you again for looking if you have any information or any The question you want to ask our social media handle and my company business information will be listed below and if you are interested we also discuss the disadvantages of the John Wick movie, some of thingsnegative ones that we choose too. again to check it too
