To practice entirely with two hands at 7, 10, 15 yards, etc.... Is like wishing upon a star. (emphasis added)

It isn't realistic.
Good point. This was from my recent post regarding my training/quals last month.

Day course was 5 strong hand, 5 weak hand; 3 yard line.
5 strong supported, 5 weak supported; 7 yards.
5 kneeling, strong supported; 15 yards.
5 standing, strong supported; 25 yards.

"Night" was via wearing welders goggles. Believe me, they work.
5 strong hand, 5 weak hand, 2 weak hand; 3 yards.
2 strong hand, 5 strong supported, 5 weak supported; 7 yards.
3 kneeling, strong supported, 3 standing, strong supported; 15 yards



And, don't think the bad guy(s) will be merely standing around awaiting your decision re: "what to do."

Be safe.
