I didn't watch the videos posted above, perhaps it doesn't do justice.
What I can tell you though is that Kelly McCann is considered the father of modern combatives, and that he has an extensive background in combat sports, including boxing, muay thai and MMA.
Although he is quite a couple of years older than me and smaller, let me tell you this, having been on the receiving end, he can hit HARD. His nickname is not "Heavy Hands" for nothing.
I agreeQuote:

Insignificant. I know who he was, but it does not really matter in year 2020. Sorry, but this is a fact of life, just like gear people do get obsolete and even if they were an authority on whatever discipline they used to be, they may have been wrong the hole time. Even if a person has done great things is no blanket grant to make him perfect on everything he's doing right now. It doesn't work that way in the real life. Being starstruck is what we see all the time in the industry: "ex SAS" or "ex Israeli special forces" might have been a great and successful warrior at the time, but those 1980s tactics may not do the trick today the opposition being a whole different animal than it used to be 40 odd years ago.

Not saying that Mr. Kelly would be utterly obsolete, but whoever he was/is/will be, he's not above constructive criticism.
Your “ constructive criticism” was that he used the word fuck? Other than that you added F All? No one trainer is perfect, but I would rather look at his type of training than Instructor Zero or any of Idan stuff. Talk about insignificant....Quote:

Please, don't mind me since I didn't criticize Mr. Kelly at all just like you noticed, I was referring to the criticism by the people Antilion was suspecting of "not knowing" who Mr. Kelly is/has been. Not Mr. Kelly, me, you, the Italian ex hotel manager nor any Israeli ninja dude are above that said criticism. This was my message, sorry if I hurt your feelings, that wasn't my intention :ch:
But... I also see from very close viewpoint what are the current tactics and they differ a lot from those applied while many present day instructors were using decades ago. Even if they used a red dot on their pistols a lifetime ago. Btw, red dots has been used in pistol sports shooting from the 1980s, so I wouldn't say it's that a new thing. Why the military are using more and more optics on their handguns? Because not until recently the sights have become robust enough to take the beating of rough military use.
