Ground Training

[Snyper]

From the link in Pax's post:

“I teach the student to use the ‘nose point’ by pivoting from the hips so that he points with his nose. By always keeping the weapon locked parallel to the ground and perpendicular to his nose he can hit anything he looks at.”

I'm pretty sure that should also say "parallel", unless you want to shoot people to the left or right of you.

That is true all other things being equal. However, if one guy is just big and strong and the smaller guy has training in ground fighting the tables can be reversed rapidly and easily. Keep in mind too that if the guy on top knows what he's doing and has a secure mount you won't be drawing a gun from anywhere other than a shoulder holster.

More people than you might think have at least a little training in martial arts. If you end up on your back with someone on top of you that knows a little juijitsu you're potentially in real bad trouble. That's why I urge people to train if at all possible.

Yep. Training, practice and proper technique trump size and strength every time.

Even with two equally trained people of different sizes the small guy can still win if he can out think his adversary. He will have a much harder time of it but it is possible.
