Introduction to the Turnipseed Technique

(Handgun)

The Turnipseed Basic Stance is taught in the Introduction class.  It is the foundation and prerequisite for all long arm and advanced handgun techniques (“wax on, wax off”).  In a very real sense the basic stance is advanced, e.g., recoil management and body indexing are inherent in the basic stance.

The Turnipseed Technique is the only bio-mechanically correct firearms methodology available in the world, and it therefore enjoys all of the exclusive benefits that follow from this happy fact.  Many of these benefits are displayed in the Turnipseed Action Video which can be viewed in this website.  Also, see Video Clips.

The need to develop correct muscle memory is emphasized in the Introduction course.  Only perfect practice makes perfect.  Repetition is the basis for ingraining and enhancing the natural Constants in the Basic Stance which result in on-demand repeatability of performance.  These Constants are secret of the transferability of the technique –which means that we can teach it to you.  It is not magic or trick shooting.  It is just proper body mechanics.  Size, strength or gender (attention Women!) do not matter.  The result is the absolute best shooting method available in the world, bar none.  It is demonstrably the finest system of personal self-defense.

The Introduction class focuses on shooting technique.  It also emphasizes firearms safety and safe and efficient gun handling, teaches avoidance of physical attack through awareness of your surroundings, and covers fundamental aspects of self-defense.

Prerequisite:  Please read the first two chapters in our new book, Martial Art of the Gun.  This information is unknown in conventional shooting and will be completely new even to knowledgeable experts.  We will go over this information in class, but it will be much easier to understand and assimilate on your second exposure to it.  If your first exposure is in class, it may be too much of an information overload to absorb effectively.  You will get much more out of the class by reading the first two chapters ahead of time.

Shooters may also read Chapter 5 and the first eight pages of Chapter 6 to reaffirm their basics in firearm safety, sight picture, trigger control, and trigger reset.

A copy of Martial Art of the Gun will be mailed to all new students upon receipt of your deposit for the class. Please include your mailing address with your deposit.

Bring your book to class as we will be working out of it.
