We continue “The Journey” with retired Navy SEAL, Mark T. “Coch” Cochiolo.
If you're new to “The Journey,” it's a video series where I will be traveling across the United States to train with various subject matter experts to give you an inside look into what and how it's like training with them.
From militaristic training in full kit to civilian concealed carry techniques to combatives training, we'll be filming everything and sharing the experience with you!
My private training sessions tend to run very long, so it is very difficult condensing a full day's worth of training into a 20-25 minute video. As a result, these episodes are meant to show only highlights instead of serving as complete video lessons.
As you watch this and future episodes, you will notice that every instructor will have slightly different techniques and/or approaches, but you'll notice that despite these differences, the principles are the same.
It is more important to understand the principles and concepts behind their instruction, rather than individual techniques.
Intro to “The Journey”
If you haven't already watched it, first check out the intro to “The Journey” to learn why we started it and where we are going with the video series.
Watch Episode #2
In Episode #1, I trained with Coch and where he reviewed the basics of combat pistol. In Episode #2, Coch introduces the carbine laying a foundation for future training.
If you haven't watched Episode #1, you can watch it here!
Episode #2 is ideal for beginners who have little to no experience with carbines or anyone who is curious to learn how Coch teaches the basics of combat carbine.
We'd Love Your Feedback!
Like Episode #1, we hope you find Episode #2 entertaining and educational.
We filmed and edited Episode #2 a while ago, and since then, we've made improvements for future episodes. However, based on Episode #2, we'd love to hear your feedback so we can make sure you get great value out of future videos from “The Journey.”
Please do me a favor and leave your feedback in the comments section below, and we'll make sure to take everything into consideration!
Glad I found your site. Very informative and helpful. I especially like how every trainer breaks everything done in its simplest form and builds on the concepts. I also like how the trainers are not full of themselves and actually take the time to instruct the individuals that are here to learn. This is a website and forum worth watching and going back to time and time again. I also appreciate how the instructors answer the questions in the forums. So kudos to all of you and thank you for putting together such an informative site for all citizens of every skill level to watch
Thanks, Pete! Your comment means a lot and is exactly what we like to hear. I’m glad you like the content–we’re just getting started!
And you’re absolutely right about our SMEs being great traininers. They are indeed professionals and we are grateful and honored to have them as part of the community.
Just because someone was in special forces, spec ops, swate or any other elite unite does not make them a good instructor. Our SMEs are both very experienced in their fields as well as outstanding trainers.
It is our goal to connect the public with vetted tactical experts, and everyone we feature on our site, truly deserves to be known and respected.
Again, thanks for the comment, and great to hear the content is helpful!
thank you very much, another video I will watch repeatedly.
Thanks, Dave! Glad you liked Episode #2? Anything you feel we should do differently?

Great video especially for those that are not able to attend a live session. While itâs not the same, the video presents plenty of information to practice on your own or with a friend for observation purposes. Thanks so much for posting these and adding the link to Instagram.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Hello Myles I been following you for a while and I can’t say enough on how great this site is
I am totally a beginner and I am watching over and over this videos.
but I just wanted to ask if is not to much to ask to list the gear used in the videos like
from the instructor
name or brand of holster
carbine or pistol
the belt to keep the Magazines
the chest (vest or chest protector)
your whole set up and the instructor is amazing!
I think with links to vendors will work great
Thank you
or at least in this video since I Have to get a holster and trying to some more gear
Hey Jorge,
Thanks for the comment, and thanks for the support. Glad you like the site an our content!
We’ll add gear load outs in the future and possibly create videos specifically on the load outs.
Best Regards,
Myles
Good stuff Myles !!! For beginners or intermediate/advanced. Only thing that separates novice from operators is operators do the basic without thinking due to training training training.
Glad you liked the episode!
I really enjoyed the way coach explained things I thought I knew really well but gave me good points of contact to reassure my hands are positioned correctly and positioning but stock to cheek. I look forward to more from tactilehive.com
