"I found the music pompous and homosexual." 😂😂😂

i feel like zero would really get along with steven seagal

That Zero Kat, is going to cause ignorant people looking for shooting info to get hurt! I’m a Firearms instructor at a major west coast PD and had a neighbor ask me if I had ever seen Zero’s shooting videos. I told him I’d seen a few, and they were theatrics only. But not for consumption by anyone looking to practically apply anything he does. Zero is even worse now…. Because he seems to believe the BIO that he fabricated about himself. There are quite a few like him. He deserves the scorn. Keep doing Gods work Ben. Your instruction is insightful, awesome and very helpful across the board…. This little break in outing a turd, is good for the community.🤙🏻🇺🇸

As long as there are wannabe-special-forces and wannabe-John Wicks, there'll be a market for people like Instructor Zero.

“I’ll admit, I was trolling”…. Nooooo!! YOU?!?! 😂

"Pompous and homosexual" hahahahahaha I'm dead

This is essentially what happened to the TMA community when MMA became a thing. I can remember, as a terrible former HS wrestler, taking a ninjitsu class on a whim and thinking it was a complete joke. The people were serious, but the light hadn’t been shone on their corner of bullshit yet.

Hey Ben, this is Ben. Thank you for shedding light on some shadyness in the industry. Truth is always the answer

*Instructor Zero* At least he’s self aware to some degree.

This reminds me of the whole Mcdojo explosion years ago. When all the fake chi spouting instructors started getting g called out. Not only is it extremely entertaining but it’s also good for shooting sports, all the range theatrics BS needs to be called out for what it is.

When he can't critique your shooting, he says it's not combat related. When he can't critique your combat experience, he falls back to science. When he couldn't fall back to science, he started banning people and deleting comments.

Peep the Staccato hat 👀

It's funny yeager called this guy out years ago....called him a charlatan

We need some "Critical Dynamic Incidents" merch.

Ben, please duplicate the bands and weight. Perhaps also wear the cape and pit vipers, you might unlock some secret magic flux dynamic zeroism.

Instructor Zero? What the hell is this 2015

Brother it's all good! Speed is king! I found that watching the vids from you and Joel I have learned that if you are comfortable you won't get better! Your concept of training has helped me anyways...

7:30 Maybe this quote will help out with regards to what you mentioned. "They don't use language to communicate, they use it to manipulate" - Michael Malice

Pretty sure he banned me after I said tension ruins precision 😂

Zero would fit right in with the BOD

I mean I poke fun and all but if we ever have to fight each other with a jerry can in one hand, wearing gas masks, hopping around on one leg, with a car between the two of us, he’d probably win

I remember he was all over social Media and you tube a few years ago and then he went away..

The beautiful thing about life and the internet is that there's a fool born every second that believes just about anything you sell them~. Instructor Zero is one of them that has taken many as fools~. Yet, I have never seen this "instructor zero" compete in any major competitive shooting matches, let alone in the LE/Tactical world....

Ben (or in this thread Mr Bennyboy) any chance getting a vid on reloads? When the round count on stage is the same as loaded gun always to go for mag change? On hoser stages mag change sets back significantly. In case there is longer distance to move between targets rather to change mag on exit, move or entry? Each has benefits and downsides.

Zero = Liver King of the pew pew world.

Hes like an angry minature screaming goat

Ben, you need to free your mind and utilize gym equipment in your training. I was just at a garage sale and picked up an old fashioned fat jiggling machine. I know if I can fire while using that, I'll have no problem keeping that dot from moving later on. Seriously, years ago I looked at what Zero put out as his background info. Reading between the lines, it was apparent that his military service was rather pedestrian. He knows his story is nothing more than a house of cards.

I am all about fitness. In reality it is probably more important than my weapons training. I don't really mix them. I might do a little run and gun but, I am not trying to mix resistance training with my range session.

What's your thoughts on CAR, more gimmick? Also I think you have a slight noise gate issue, it makes the sound choppy like a bad Skype call. Minor nitpick.

He would fit into Dynamic Pie Concepts

It's a great thing that these types get exposed and shut down , after ripping people off for years ...

Can you referance the video reguarding the training bands please? I am wondering if they are being used for live fire or grip training?

Why do I not hear about Instructor Zero trying to get more people into firearms in his own country? Why is he not pushing for laws to be removed to allow citizens to carry firearms?

I think Ben’s slight autistic streak is what keeps him in the fight

Ben’s issues are more fun than anything on TV right now. Until Yellowstone is back. Sir you are correct; people love drama. World of Guns drama is very entertaining

I just replied to him using all the fancy sciency words

It seems like he buys into the whole, Sunglasses wearing bearded dude with either full armor, or a T-Shirt 2 sizes too small operators MUST be good, so just make some crap up to get students to pay for this “exclusive” training. Want to know your instructor knows his stuff, check his resume’.

Zero is a salesman that is running out of things to sell.

Bravo !

This Zero back and forth is an extreme example of calling out a con artist because it’s should be so obvious. However, discussions like this are helpful to the consumer when it comes to less theatrical instructors. Perfect examples are some of the boutique training facilities with cult like following. People pay a lot of money to attend courses and many times leave feeling as if they’ve just been bent over in a San Quentin shower stall. They then question if this is just how all instructional courses are. An objective person at the very least should appreciate back and forth between instructors to gain a better understanding as to what to expect in a course, evaluate personality, nuances in training techniques from either instructor and look into it further before dedicating their time and money to a course/instructor. “Oh and behold thee, Stoeger who descended from heaven to save us and ascended to be our advocate.” ;-)

Looking at some instructors and methodologies, I'm coming to the conclusion that these people have a common goal of diverting people from shooting by making them feel they could not achieve the results. Not sure if it's a series of individual flaws or a bigger plan.

Now I want to check out instructor Zero for fun.

cant say ive ever heard of instructor zero, but Zoro was always cool!

Watched your re-post on Instructor Zero running around with weights and bands. Only comment WOW. Had a guy show up for a managed deer hunting qualification at my old club for managed deer hunts in MD. He had a brick tied to the end of his barrel on a string to simulate having to lead a deer. We told him to take the brick off. Don't think it was instructor zero😂

'Word vomit'. 😆😆

Even worse than Instructor Zero’s bullshit drills are the idiots that watch that and think, “what a great idea, great drill” 😂😂😂

Instructor zero is the real gaymer

Nice Hat! 😉

it's about the principal of it, there are principalities involved. Like I said, if he can't explain something without jargon and a few words then he doesn't understand it. All of the suits he has tailored for someone 4'11" and the watches aren't going to dig him out of this. Also I love this stuff, put these mofos on blast!!!

I can’t find him in Instagram anymore.

Hey Ben would you be willing to expound on a follow up comment you made regarding the fast drill no longer being relevant

Nice hat. 🙂

Zero is a child

zero seems like a kook

Drama, drama, drama, drama, drama chameleon! Zero is such a joke. His content is fun to watch, and fitness is important (shoutout Big Poppa Thumb), but his take is comical. I also met him at SHOT last year and dudes ego is insane!

All good, free speech, hilarious he banned you, huge Tell. His whole premise is crazy, as you point out.

Post drama; I'm here to learn and be entertained

Where is this happening?

Im late to the party. Who is instructor zero? 😂

Mama mia!

I never heard of him and just scrolled through his video thumbnails. He certainly likes to dress up like he’s in a Hollywood direct to video B rated action movie 😂.

Staccato hat 😏

Instructor zero is such a joke lmao

I knew ZERO was a fraud when James Yeager made series of videos dismantling and destroying Instructor ZERO 8-9 years ago. And Yeager received major flack and nobody believed him. Sure miss that guy.

@staccato sponsor him for the memes

Well, out of curiosity I checked out Zero’s video, and I generally agree with your criticisms, but I didn’t like the music even though I’m homosexual 🤷🏻‍♀️

Instructor Zero is an excellent example of why I am contemptuous of flat range gurus. Good instructors are hard to come by. It's also extremely difficult to be a serious person when the space is mostly occupied by losers like Zero.

Anything that can make you shoot and move faster I would explore maybe your part of that elite that in no way shape or form want a common man to shoot fast. Its like Just because Isarel has a different way of doing CQB does not make them stupid, their kicking ass right know just saying its worth exploring, being so ridged in certain way can get you left behind.

When gbrs group first burst on the scene a few years ago I remember seeing them in a vid using rubber bands in the gym in the similar way you describe zero doing, for weapons manipulation benefits. I thought it was odd but maybe these ops guys do employ odd techniques to train? Everyone has their own opinion about gbrs today but there’s no doubting they were legit operators with legit experience. There are many ways to do anything, with that though, I am not familiar with zero and don’t watch his vids.

Who?

It's like the fad gym stuff years ago, it's bury themselves in technical language as a shield from criticism because you use enough scientific sounding words then you can always appear right to people who don't understand them. It's moronic. Especially when it's so obvious given that the technique is doing the thing credible instructors are training out of people's performance

Devil's advocate here: HOW is it counterproductive? Is it training the wrong muscle groups? Which ones are the right ones? Is there a specific injury risk with this that does not exist with lifting weights?

When are you going to make another vid on the "instructor" Paul Harrell?

Count me among those who don’t like it Ben…..this trading of insults is beneath you. Get back and stay on the high road.

Zero is a clown. I watch his videos as entertainment, can t take him seriously.

☝️🤓This is an exercise based on the biomechanical disturbance and the compensatory response based on non-pre-established neuromotor patterns. ☝️🤓The objective of this type of program or exercise like this is to accustom the brain and in particular some elements/areas to work in continuous compensation and adaptation, that is, contrary to what normally happens on the shooting range where one moves only on pre-known and pre-set motor patterns.☝️🤓

Instructor Zero told me to shut the fuck up and then blocked me after i had respectfully told him that people with tactical and practical experience thought what he was doing wasn't useful. Seems like a real stable dude

Yes not good training but not what I want to hear about. Less drama more about competitive action shooting is what I would like. Did not watch the whole thing.

@Ben Stoeger - Gotta admit, I don't understand why you're even wasting your time with this guy? There are guys selling "Snake Oil" all over.... The Bro's love to get oiled up!

Ben, you're wrong about the general idea of introducing difficulty to an action to further improvement progression. I haven't watched any of the instructor zero videos, or read comments. I'm not defending him, but just basing this on what you said. Many pro athletes introduce difficulty during practice, such as basketball players wearing vision obscuring glasses. Then when you take them off, everything is so much easier. In my own shooting, I practiced dryfire/airsoft with wrist weights. Then take them off. And I am faster. It helped me break through my plateau of the speed I was at. You could also practice dry fire on a balance ball. Generally speaking, introducing extra difficulty during practice is a thing done in many sports for training. If that was not instructor zero's idea, then he's wrong too. That's not to say you can't get really good by only normal practice too. Have you tried it?

Seriously who cares. Stick to doing what you do well and leave everyone else alone. You stand out in your knowledge and practical application of how to improve. It’s really immature to attack others even if they are full of BS.

Seriously who gives a damn. Focus on something more useful.

I rarely watch any of Bens videos because there is often some sort of drama. Drama magnet for over a decade.

Who?
