In his Carry Trainer breakdown filmed solo on a private range, Matt walks through the exact methodology he uses in class. Matt opens the video demonstrating basic lateral movement, then compartmentalizes the skill the same way any coach teaches a fundamental: bite-sized chunks, repeated until they hold up under pressure. His framing borrows from his friend and mentor Dave \"Super Dave\" Harrington, who ran Range 37 at Fort Bragg. \"You're either firing and maneuvering or you're being fired and maneuvered upon.\" — Dave Harrington, quoted by Matt Key Takeaways Progress in three stages: dry (no gun), gun with finger off trigger, then live fire — reps of 4-10 minutes per stage depending on skill. Training must be repeatable, reliable, and robust — Matt's three-word standard for every defensive skill. Most self-inflicted range gunshot wounds happen coming in and out of the holster — dominate the muzzle and trigger guard every time. Movement must land you in good posture, using Paul Sharp's \"standing in a river\" analogy. The \"never cross your feet\" rule isn't absolute — footwork depends on your balance and athleticism, so \"know thyself.\" Add obstacles (sticks, cones, bar…
