Hi Friends,
This is my inaugural posting on this forum and I'll look forward to getting to know you all.
F-o-F with airsoft is just like ANY other form of training. You get out of it what you put into it. I run an Airsoft F-o-F workshop once or twice a year at the martial arts school where I teach. When I do, I plan "stages" that are usually more drill than scenario. In developing any particular stage, I try to pick one or two specific skills and build a stage around them.
Philosophically, I try to make the airsoft workshop part training and part structured play. (I'll recommend the book
Deep Survival: Who Lives Who Dies, and Why by Laurence Gonzales who does a great job explaining the role of "play" in learning survival skills . . . wolves, lions, bears and just about every intelligent wild animal all play to stay skillful when they fight.)
I ran a workshop just last weekend. I've posted a couple of video clips on YouTube. You can see the clips here:

Again, I'm thrilled to find this forum and look forward to talking with you more!
