(Handgun)

The Fundamentals of the Turnipseed Technique are taught in the TT Basic Fundamentals Course. 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 reduction 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 and are elaborated upon 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 the 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 TT Basic Fundamentals Course 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.
