SUMMARY Certainly, during the next training, it is worthwhile to verify previously its participants so that not to waste anybody's time. But, as we are aware, it is the first training with the foreign instructor organized by the Stronghold Group, so a respect for the guys that they had taken up a challenge and I am sure that for the next time it would be only better. Summarizing the course from my perspective, I notice that almost the entire material constitutes one whole, it is well prepared with regard to its methodology, there is no chaotic jumping from one topic to another and making things at the drop of a head. That is fine that it is noticeable that somebody dedicated his time to develop a blueprint. I pay a special attention to this, because I myself prepare such blueprints, as a shooting and Krav Maga instructor, and I know that it is not an easy and sometimes time consuming work. The training was not a "discovery of America", but probably nobody expected this. It the first part of the CQB trainings grouped under the Project Gecko label, which can be treated as a basis for the further operations. It think that everybody found something for himself and came out satisfied. In my evaluation the applied techniques are fine, although in some places controversial. However, what is the most important in CQB, is a tight cooperation of the entire team, and this is what is taught by Eli. There is a great deal of the schools and techniques, but if the team is not tight, you can forget about doing your work well. TRAINING
