First Responder Casket Watch Videos

Here is a playlist of three videos of law enforcement and firefighters learning the solemn technique of casket watch during three different honor guard academies that I’ve taught.

You will notice that the techniques have changed slightly at certain points as my refining process has continued. The last video of the Louisiana LEOs (Oct 2015) is the latest iteration of the technique that I’m most pleased with.

If you use this technique, there are no commands except for the subdued “haaalt” and “step”; it’s all about timing.
