On Thursday 21st October, we were thrilled to be joined by Hugh Keir who produces the popular H-Hour podcast, of which Chris was a guest in September 2020, for a day of evasive and tactical driving training at V-FORCE.
First order of the day was pistol training, using a paint-firing replica Glock 17 pistol, taught by former Royal Marines Commando and SBS operator, Tony Hayes Founder of SF1 Strength. Tony coached Hugh through the basics of getting accurate rounds on target from various fire positions before progressing to a tactical scenario, and engaging targets.
Our advanced driving instructor, CEO and Founder Chris Vosper put Hugh through an intensive car handling course. Hugh conducted surveillance from his car against a hostile vehicle then, with his cover blown, had to react to an attack, escape by fast reverse, perform a J-turn and continue through a slalom course using handbrake turns and rally-style handling to reach safety.
Finally, Hugh moved to the unarmed combat training phase to learn some basic weapon defences culminating in pistol disarms from multiple attackers. Tony, together with MMA fighter and stuntman, Jon Hunt put Hugh through a highly intensive programme of training utilising the sophisticated SF1 Strength suspension trainer.
If you want to learn the coolest and most exhilarating driving and Special Ops skills, V-FORCE deliver what are, undoubtedly, the best days out you can do.
A former Sniper in the Parachute Regiment, serving from 2000 to 2011, Hugh Keir conducted frontline operations in Northern Ireland, Iraq and Afghanistan. Since leaving the military, Hugh has worked as a Close Protection Officer in the Middle East and in the UK and produces the podcast in his spare time.
The H-Hour podcast is a long form conversation hosted by ex-soldier Hugh Keir, with friends and guests that have included politicians, actors, psychologists, MMA fighters, authors, campaigners, and beyond.
This podcast encompasses amazing military stories to discussions around mental health, foreign policy, funny stories from the front line or wherever the conversation leads. The podcast is relaxed, long form, unedited, unscripted. A very similar format to the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, but with a Brit!
