This technique, option two for a technical stand-up from a supine position, emphasizes hip strength and athleticism. It involves raising up on the hip while bringing a leg through to sit up, keeping both hands on the firearm. The instructor stresses the importance of practicing this move due to its demanding nature and the need for core and hip mobility, warning against muzzling oneself during the maneuver.
This video from Tactical Rifleman, featuring Instructor Z, details two techniques for safely and effectively getting up from the ground while armed. The primary method, the 'Technical Stand Up,' is adapted from grappling arts and emphasizes maintaining control of a firearm while establishing a stable base to rise. A secondary, more athletic option is also presented, requiring significant hip strength. Both techniques focus on situational awareness and safe firearm handling during the transition.
