James is a great guy and one of the few that I know always speaks his mind . He really wants there to be no confusion on where he stands on issues , people , etc . He's also one of the most generous and helpful people I know . If he has a student that is having some kind of issue he calls on the massive group of alumni to come together to help .
Thanks for commenting Zach. I've been surprised by how many people have such strong opinions about him. Many of whom haven't ever met him. That dynamic intrigues me. For my part the encounters I've had mirror your sentiment. He has been very generous with me. I'm looking forward to training at his school next week.
You're welcome . I met him a couple years before I made it to one of his classes . Sense then I've taken several , and have stayed in the team room which is in his house . I'll be there this weekend for Active shooter . Enjoy your class and bring an open mind !
Sooo much! Every day. I was so privileged to get to call him or text him and get his quick, wise, witty and often blunt responses. I love him still he loved me like a big brother to the end and I'm so grateful.
Super interview. He can talk nuts 'n bolts any time- getting to know the 'why' of the man-behind-the-man is truly, uniquely, valuable. That was like a personal mentoring session. Thank you so much.
Looking at James Yeager purely from the perspective of what his message is about correct basic shooting, all I can say is that he absolutely teaches nothing but the true gospel and I truly respect him for that. I also heard people telling their story about how Yeager was there for them as a true friend with substantial material support from his own pocket and unconditionally, in times of dire need and I enormously admire a person for such acts of true greatness. And as far as the rest goes... (grabbing some popcorn) LET'S GET RRREADY TO RRRRRUUMMBBLLLEEE!!!!! PS: He can't help himself to be anything than a loudmouthed know-it-all due to the German part of his genetics. Nothing to be afraid of, Germans might start a World War from time to time, but when they have blown of enough steam they are invarably defeated. PROTIP: Don't ruin your relation with the Russians beyond the point of no repair for you never know when you REALLY need them as your trusty allies to handle the aggressive first phase of the famous "Furor Teutonicus"
This was a fantastic interview. This was my first video I've seen of yours and one of many of James. I like that you didn't bombard him with gun questions and kept it about himself as person. Definitely subscribing.
I will say this, out of all the interviews ive watched, you definitely had the most questions I haven't heard asked. Or topics that haven't been covered as well. Good video.
James is a great guy I'm proud to know him. He is very giving and as he says you never have to wonder where he stands with you. If you fuck up he will tell you. I'm a better man today for knowing James he is family and if he needs anything I'll be there.
had no idea you were from west virginia. me too, born in Logan west virginia. west virginia Yeager s are royalty because of Chuck Yeager, the great American pilot. makes me like James even more knowing his family is west Virginian. .
Great interview my man! Some people don't like him, but you have to have respect for him. He just tells you like it is. Great job, you have a new subscriber.
Rev2DaLimit lol that was the plan but at 35 minutes in I was so into it I was like forget it I'll just stay up. You did a good job on getting thing out of him I've never heard. And you got some classic I'll shoot them in the F## king face Yeager. GREAT INTERVIEW!
Thanks Man! Mr. Yeager is an entertaining guy. Honestly, I didn't do much. Off camera-- he's an incredibly generous man. I've been around a lot of "known" people in various "worlds" and I kinda dread the behind the scenes moments with most of them. James Yeager wasn't that way at all. Of course I've received some disparaging comments from folks (after I did the interview) but none of them seem to know James personally. It would be silly to think I could have an opinion about a man in one encounter, but my first impression was certainly positive. One more thing, I've only been alive for 36 years but so far my life has taught me to watch out for the folks who quietly sneak around FAR MORE then people who speak their mind openly.
Rev2DaLimit get ready you'll probably have to block some people lol. All some people will know is a short clip from his pack you bag video and never bother to watch any of his other material. I've never met him. But I believe him to be the real deal. You did him justice in this interview hopefully this will be a big video for you. It's got Yeager on it the haters are coming so be ready lol
The awesome thing here is that he says if you take fighting pistols and go home and apply what you learn consistently it's the only class you'd ever have to take BUT I promise you'll want to come back for more and even repeat classes you've had because it's that good.
This was a great interview. I'd always thought he was an interesting guy and enjoyed watching some of his UA-cam videos here and there. Then I met him briefly at Shot Show. My camera went down on me and like 3 minutes after meeting James he was offering to let me borrow one of his cameras. Just seemed like a really solid, good guy. I have it on my bucket list to get out there and take Fighting Pistol. Cheers my friend. Thanks for posting this.
Hahaha, I spent the first 3 to 4 years of life in Cross Lanes. A lot of my family is from Ripley, Evans, and Charleston. Most have moved but beautiful country and heritage for sure...
How bout that. Haha, did you see Mr. James Yeager's reaction when I mentioned chick flicks? I don't think Care Bears would have been much different but who knows. hahaha
For real tipped me over to Yeager. I had respect for his skills and knowledge but assumed he was a dick I am happy to have a better perspective. Smart for him to be him just so much easier.
I hear ya. My point is simply that training with someone (in my opinion) is primarily tied to their competency teaching a particular fighting skill set. In this case however (again in my opinion) James Yeager is good dude AND an effective trainer.
Rev2DaLimit that's because there is no sarcasm button on the internet. The second line was snarky,apologies but I was deaf in one ear at the time of my posting. That's why i posted statement as a question. Good stuff though.
We miss you brother
Thanks
James gets a bad rap for being brutally honest. Great interview
I didn't go through a huge progression with carry guns. I bought a Glock 19 six years ago and I've carried it ever since.
You probably listened to some good advice. Good on you!
James is a great guy and one of the few that I know always speaks his mind . He really wants there to be no confusion on where he stands on issues , people , etc .

Outstanding interview. Man I miss James's wisdom
Sooo much! Every day. I was so privileged to get to call him or text him and get his quick, wise, witty and often blunt responses. I love him still he loved me like a big brother to the end and I'm so grateful.
That was the best Yeager interview I've ever seen. Thank you.
I had great respect for Yeager,, I have an even greater respect for him now!
Right!
That was a legit sit down. You had some really good questions, and I enjoyed them a lot. Great job
Super interview. He can talk nuts 'n bolts any time- getting to know the 'why' of the man-behind-the-man is truly, uniquely, valuable. That was like a personal mentoring session. Thank you so much.
I'm really interested in what makes people tick. I'm really thankful to James for being so open.

Thanks.
One thing you always know where you stand with James. No guessing involved ! 😂
Enjoyed the high school art teacher comment for I am one! Good new-subscriber-worthy interview Mr. Yeager didn't hold back. God bless.
Welcome Troy. Thanks for the work you do.
I will say this, out of all the interviews ive watched, you definitely had the most questions I haven't heard asked. Or topics that haven't been covered as well. Good video.
thanks for getting clint on the tube... i watch every single video

Absolutely agree.

You are correct---this is the best James Yeager interview. Good job.
Thanks Sir. Mr. Yeager was in rare form.
Motivating closing Yeager! Well done.
Been a james Yeager fan for a while. This is a very good interview. Thumbs up!!
Thanks for watching.
Wonder interview! Thank you so much!
Great interview my man! Some people don't like him, but you have to have respect for him. He just tells you like it is. Great job, you have a new subscriber.
Thanks!
Well I needed to go to bed 55 minutes ago lol ! That is hands down the best Yeager interview I've ever seen great job!
Oops. Thanks for watching man. Next time, remember it will still be posted tomorrow. ;)

Haters aren't new for me-- I'll be fine. I've been given a ton of love so I have plenty to share.
This is OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
good questions. ..great answers...well done fellas ..
The awesome thing here is that he says if you take fighting pistols and go home and apply what you learn consistently it's the only class you'd ever have to take BUT I promise you'll want to come back for more and even repeat classes you've had because it's that good.

Cheers my friend. Thanks for posting this.
Do it. Good times.
makes me like james even more.
Hi Matt, this was my first time face to face with Mr. Yeager. I liked him.
Rev2DaLimit ah I see..well you did a good job sir ;)
Thanks. Honestly, a robot could interview James Yeager and it would be good. He's an interesting guy. Maybe it's that Scott Irish thing. Maybe not.
awesome interview.
Thanks for watching.
I KNEW there had to be a West Virginia connection and there definitely is! WV is my home state.
What part?
Buck Johnson same here. I'm from Fayette County WV
Weston, Bridgeport, Cross Lanes, Vienna, Parkersburg, Churchville, and Glenville at various times
Fayette County is one of the most beautiful places on earth!
Hahaha, I spent the first 3 to 4 years of life in Cross Lanes. A lot of my family is from Ripley, Evans, and Charleston. Most have moved but beautiful country and heritage for sure...
That was great ! Yeager actin like folks (and his revolver vids) , your questions were really good. Good work !
This video just popped up and I was like, dang this dude was in Fighting Pistol with me this week. Nice to meet you.
It was nice to meet you too.
For some reason, the first thing I thought of when I heard the word "friendship" was Carebears, lol.
How bout that. Haha, did you see Mr. James Yeager's reaction when I mentioned chick flicks? I don't think Care Bears would have been much different but who knows. hahaha
Great interview. Greenville isn't far from me.
interesting interview
Thanks for watching.
mfceo. YAY! :D thanks for doing this. :)
Thank Mr. Yeager. It was my pleasure.
you have a recipe where I don't know what I'm eating
Awesome I did not Yeager had West Virginia roots. I grew up in southern WV!!!
For real tipped me over to Yeager. I had respect for his skills and knowledge but assumed he was a dick I am happy to have a better perspective. Smart for him to be him just so much easier.
Glad to hear it. Yeager is a good dude for real. However, if he wasn't, would it really matter if he knows how to train effectively?
Rev2DaLimit I would not train with anyone I for sure knew was a dick . I try not be around these people .
This kinda clears shit up .
I hear ya. My point is simply that training with someone (in my opinion) is primarily tied to their competency teaching a particular fighting skill set. In this case however (again in my opinion) James Yeager is good dude AND an effective trainer.
3:40 I thank that thay should offer them some class's with them or a private training facility like James's.
I had great respect for yaeger
Still should.
then you are an idiot
Damn, Yeager was a good undercover.
Thanks for watching Home Runner.
Good video but the volume spike at the end was a little obnoxious. Maybe normalize your volume before posting!!??
Thanks for watching and commenting. I don't think exclamation points and question marks mean what you think they mean. Thanks again.
Rev2DaLimit that's because there is no sarcasm button on the internet. The second line was snarky,apologies but I was deaf in one ear at the time of my posting. That's why i posted statement as a question. Good stuff though.
If there was a sarcasm button it would have been used here: "I don't think exclamation points and question marks mean what you think they mean." :)
This vid changed my mind about Yeager. The only thing I don't like is his removal of vids for Century and all
10:10-10:39 yea I thank it's more to mind set if you don't 100% won't to be great at it you won't
Im not even sure how I saw this, but how did this come about anyways? Seems odd! =)
dude interviewing seems very nice.. What's with his eyes getting so wild looking though.?? sort of distracting.. great interview by yeager
What can I say, I had some crazy expressions in there.
James is still in his formative years of gun handling. He hasn't learned safety procedures most people learn on day one.
