Handgun Disarm Technique For Self Defense - Timing

[lukeizze]

I know if i've got a gun, i wouldnt be standing with that close proximity...

[mogges1]

Even still all he has to do is drop down.and the weapon will come in line to fire.Thats the other problem line of fire. even though you have taken yourself out of the line of fire. who ever is standing around and the attacker pulls trigger now you in a thrid party shooting.Dealing with Fire arms is a tricky thing.

[TheMaverickjc29]

You also need SNAKE in here to train with you GUYS!!! He really is the master of CQC. Good videos I will be checking them, this might come in handy... Keep going with the job, do not even bother with the other people, I have trained all my life martial arts and anything is certain in a real life, but this is better than nothing and I am sure the people that complain have never even gone to train nothing and do not know what it takes, CONGRATS

[ht448]

What if there not Stupidly close? like a good Arm and a half length away which most gun men Would be

[DaBlindKungFuMastuh]

ok..now do it when he's 10 feet away

[BeauStinsonDotCom]

@DaBlindKungFuMastuh what people that make these videos seem to forget that guns are ranged weapons not point plank hand to hand combat weapons.

[DaBlindKungFuMastuh]

@BeauStinsonDotCom as of which a knife is an extremely effective point blank in-ur-face weapon...a knife is more handy in a hand to hand combat situation

[666Misery666]

Very good point explained and displayed.



[Simon8051]

"alright move over dere"

[DTOMUSA74]

@Simon8051 OK, get over there please, thank you.

Alright, against the wall. Seriously move it!

[LANO500]

I just pull a Chuck Norris stunn and it's over..

[TheLOLReally]

I still think you might want to check you insurance about lead poisoning

[scienceofseth]

Been a prison guard for 23 years in 3 of the worst prisons in the nation. This guy has never been in a real fight. Against an armed OR unarmed person. Jesus.

[MrKeefuh]

...or you could just buy your own gun. where's the tutorial video on how to stay strapped?

[BobbyMagnuma]

Gentlemen, the worst part of all this is that nobody presents a handgun singlehandedly, except actors. If he do so, it will probebly be close to his ribs. There is all kinds of walk and talk, disorientate and disarm techniques, but they are extremely desperate and they usually fails, except for demonstration purposes. Your best answer woud be your conceal carry weapon and soft armuored vest. Dont give'em jack shit, cos you'll encouraging them and they will attack again.Shootuntillthethreatisdo­wn

[daspense]

if someone pulls a gun on you, no matter how much training you have, best bet is to go into the fetal position, and do whatever he wants.\

70% percent of the time, if someone is planning on shooting you, they will within 5 seconds of pulling the gun.

if you stay calm, you'll be alright

[Yauzu16]

I love how you do alot of talking in your videos then do the actual defense. most of a fight is the mental aspect that cant be seen.

[LiveFreeOrDie1985]

Try that on someone who wont let you get ten within 10 feet of you and wont wave there weapon like an idiot. I hope this video doesnt get people killed.

Btw when you that close you dont fight with a gun you use a knife.

[LiveFreeOrDie1985]

This is a joke. Hey pull the hammer back on that revolver and see how confident he is.

[KangarooOpus]

Makes scenes

[UnderBarrelOfficalUK]

14 people got shot

[xChuckNorrisKickx]

What a complete crock of bullshit. And why is this guy wearing bdu's? Who is he trying to pose as? Give me a fucking break; just another bullshido scam.

[psyco94550]

Good advice but psychology is more dominant in creating good timing than just techniques in my opinion. Asking questions while emulating a fearful tone opens up a pretty good window; not only distracting them while they form an answer but "massaging their ego" by showing fear puts them at ease in the sense that they feel that they have control over the situation and let their guard down. Maintain zen like patience and watch for eyes drifting out of contact while answered or relaxing muscles

[eingraham81]

You seem to knock the flinch response a lot. However, research shows us it is natural, and therefore the best. The systems out there that use it, ie, SPEAR, Emerson Combat, all have put tons of research into it. You mention several times in this video about the adrenaline, yet you teach trying to grab the gun. Trying to grab a specific target in a real situation doesn't work. That is where the natural, and involuntary flinch response comes in, and you just take what you can get.

[BlackValkyire]

Pistol Disarms require point blank range, otherwise you're pretty much dead

[12pussylicka]

i can tell you that move wont work. what if the gunman has a 45

[ConnorMercury]

Also consider the fact that many of the people you encounter on the street don't see this kind of stuff coming whenever they go to hold somebody up. Their point isn't just to randomly going around shooting people but rather obtain something so in this situation knowing how to defend yourself is more useful than knowing nothing at all. I found this to be useful.

[thedukeboxx]

too much talk, sir.

your advice is more of probability...

[sexxykelly]

102 gun men watched this

[parispalatis]

the guy talks toooooo much....

[armydude162]

here's a scenario hes 6feet away holding a brand new colt M1911 gov. issue, and you have you hands in the air, he is holding the gun in a two hand sturdy grip, and he has sufficient training with this weapon, then what?

[num7panther]

@armydude162 your fucking screwed

[emiller0098]

not a bad technique. we at krav maga and muay boran practice with airsoft guns. alot. it works

[MrApollo12321]

Dear cqctraining im 32 and live in new york city ive been mugged several times with a man with a knife and i gave them all my money and they walked away but i now carry a colt m1911 45. i havent found a video yet on how to draw your weapon while at gun point plz make one i have fired a shot at someone just to scare him away but still the gun is useless unless used by a trained man so plz help me with this thank you

[BlindPacemaker]

This is awful advice. Someone pointing a gun at you is either going to shoot you, or they are using it to rob you. If they are going to shoot you, they wont wait and stand around, they will shoot you as soon as they can. If they just want your stuff, hand over everything and be thankful that's all they wanted. This stuff could get someone killed.

[cqctraining]

@BlindPacemaker - Unfortunately, the advice you just gave isn't based on "what if's". I totally agree with you that your first move is to give them what they want. But what do you do when you've given them the money and then they say "get in the car...walk down that alley...come with me...etc"? The scenarios where you WILL have to disarm this person are countless so your advice only places unnecessary limitations on your survival mindset and may get you killed. Rethink your position.

[nd4spd325]

@cqctraining WELL SAID SIR!!!

[DaBlindKungFuMastuh]

@cqctraining this is last resort if you think hes gonna shoot you

[brokcraftable]

@BlindPacemaker ur a closed minded retard ive seen someone defend themselves against retards with guns and no they dont just shoot they like to talk shit with a gun in ur face so this is some damn good advice ! keep up good work cqc tell these queers to fuck off!

[Antithropocentric]

@BlindPacemaker, that's simplistic armchair-quarterback analysis. There are any number of situations where the gun-wielder is nervous and doesn't necessarily have a plan. This video is just a general concept of what to do if a certain situation arises. Obviously if the gunman is too far away to grab, etc., this wouldn't be useful. One of the best bets is to simply run away if you get a window of opportunity. Same with a knife fight scenario, which tends to be lose-lose.

[MadeInOregon27]

@BlindPacemaker

Yeah lets all give up our money and possessions to thugs w/out a fight and be thankful... That will show this world. NOT, TAKE THAT MOTHER FUCKERS ARM OFF.

[Orvellrednbacer]

@BlindPacemaker How about take advantage of the situation and kill the fucker before he kills you.....If you are trained to do so that is.

[fosoriori29]

@BlindPacemaker

he states that there is a possibility that with movement he might shoot. He has a slight knowledge on human psychology. There's two kinds of people the ones that will die without a fight and the ones that prefer to die trying. If somebody wants to rob you and they feel paranoid about you recognizing them guess what you are dead or shot anyways. Having a slight knowledge on these things is better than to remain ignorant or be submissive towards any situation like you suggest

[BeauStinsonDotCom]

I don't like this, you have to have stronger upper body strength than them or you are so fucked, better off going for a kick in the nuts, a shot to bring the biggest mother fuckers to tears.

[marcsbiceps]

@BlindPacemaker someone who can stay calm may seize an opportunity to dissarm the gunmen s ass, its 1 man vs another man, if your legs are shaking and you cant think clear because you fear for your life, you giveaway the money you worked so hard to get and then be thankful, is that what you are trying to say? let him go? there are better ways to dissarm i agree, like philipino kali or krav magav.

[MrByaeger]

i really like this information and it reinforces what i have been taught and have read from other sources though not when it comes to handguns. in fact watch the movie "spartan", when he walks into a house full of bad guys and starts saying odd things. i teach my students to hit while talking. thanks for sharing, i plan to watch more of your videos. this worked for me in the classic " you throw the first punch !" exchange. to bad i had a poor follow up plan, live and learn..

[mclovin1JB]

nice video but i just wanna point out that you used a mexican guy to hold the gun lol

[MySaviorservant]

i appreciate your videos. they bring up some good points. thank you

[TheJesushatesyou]

What happens when you're tying to disarm a dolphin?

[rattfink17]

what about disarming tiny pocket pistols?

[what2put2put]

what is the scenario ? How do you know he isn't just going to shoot you ?

[GlennFalconiVEVO]

This is a perfect tutorial on how to get shot by a gunman.

[cqctraining]

@GlennFalconiVEVO - Would you like to explain your reasoning?

[GlennFalconiVEVO]

@cqctraining Well what if you aren't fast enough? What my point is that there isn't 100% safety guaranteed. I mean it might work on the most people. But there are people that are trigger friendly. This is not meant as any offence.

[cqctraining]

@GlennFalconiVEVO - No offense taken. Just looking for valuable conversation around these handgun disarm techniques. That being said...when it comes to street fighting, nothing is 100%. But when it comes to handgun disarms, timing is crticial. Your options are to not attempt a disarm and hope for the best, or go for the disarm if you must. If you must disarm, "trigger happy" shots can happen by mistake and his flinch. But if you time right (like this video), your chances are much better.

[Southpark124]

What if he is a good distance away from you? Such as like 7-10 feet, and then pointing you where you need to go? If you go after him then he will figure out you are trying to retaliate...

[cqctraining]

@Southpark124 - As soon as you have some sort of cover (like a car next to you), then insert a psychological "break state" by asking him something that makes no sense whatsoever (like "how many udders does a cow have?") I know it sounds stupid...but his brain says "WTF?".

Then run like hell, using cover to get as much distance as possible. Even a relaxed shooter aiming at a target can't hit very well from up close. An adrenalized felon is an even worse shooter.

[what2put2put]

@cqctraining

So you hoping for the best ??? This technique like all the others on youtube are pointless because you don't know how to get close enough to the gun to use them. There is a way to get to the gun but you can't see it.

[bamafighter21]

@Southpark124 My friend is a close quarter combat trainer here in Atlanta and has been for 12+ years. He tells everyone he trains if you have more than 5 ft of distance run. Unless you are military or police trained then the average person only has about 15% accuracy at that distance and it drops more when combined with movement ex. ducking, running in a zig zag pattern.

[TheCoolshortguy]

@Southpark124 gun disarms are only good at close range so wat you can do is if they want your money get your wallet out act like your giving him the money but wen you get the chance do the disarm wen you get close to give it to him

[fightingfrenchman]

i think its more about instructors than styles. in km i was taught the 1 hand deflect an grab goin to the dead side.but usin a2 hand deflct goin to the live side to avoid some one standin next to me from gettin shot DEPENDIN on what hand its in.whats inerestin isafter deflection @ grab attack@takeaway.in ckm moni isac teaches only deflect grab @ takeaway usin a 2 hand grab .WHEN YOU HAVE THE GUN QUICKLY MOVE OFF TO AN ANGLE.HAVE DONE BOTH 2 ADMIT THAT THE 2 HANDE GRAB@TAKEAWAY IS MORE RLIABLE

[CQB32]

While I have to admit he has poor exicution he has the concept right on. Change the field of fire, gain control of the weapon WITH 2 HANDS and disarm. Those claiming who would do this and using Krav Maga as an example may want to re-think where they are training. Remember there are lots of different Krav Maga types its like Karate. You could see many different Krav styles based on the instructors and the needs of the students. Anything can work some have less chance of failing.

[bladedweapons]

you should never point a firearm at someone even if unloaded (this is because the guy in black is pointing a handgun at him.

[JosiahWarren]

GREAT ANALYSIS

[didyouseethatshit777]

in this situation you run like heck

[Southpark124]

Its a handgun... Its called range.... Unless they suck horribly at shooting (which you don't know that), even though he might suck, he has more than one round....

[IGNsucks]

Damn dude with that shirt and those arms Im sure the attacker would be distracted anyways..........WINK WINK.

[G1b23]

@IGNsucks he will tell you to move over and thats when you get closer

if not you can always keep talking to him and slowly aproach

[MrHacity32]

terrible



[kikook222]

I'd rather disarm a gun than a knife; guns have one application, unlike a knife. Which is why it's stupid to get close with one, if a gun is at arms lenght, it's impossible to control the gun if someone tries something before you have time to shoot them.

[LONE14SKIN88EAD]

1, put your hands up to the same height as the weapon.(natural reaction) they wont shoot you for it and your closer to the gun. 2 do whatever the guy with the gun tells you to, give him everything he wants, as long as he isnt going to shoot you, dont take the risk of getting shot by trying to disarm. 3 fs he is going to kill you(many reasons), you ask him a question(stupid one) so hel be less focust on the weapon, then disarm(if he has the weapon close to you and is responding to your question)

[Eorvig]

only good if you are just as or more experienced than your "attacker" most likely a robber an remember how cheap life can be

[bushin64]

Great commentary. There is are so many videos on technique. This video really addresses an important part of the disarm that is often not discussed.

[jimjimthehumanbin]

these are good instructionals in the psychology of handling attackers. well worth watching in addition to the classes you should be attending.

[iTziiSpacey]

PIT STAINS!!

[tredub91]

he didnt even show how to fully disarm!!

[kingofthehornets]

Excellent vid. I like the psycological aspect. With any of the training I've done and having to perform a disarm once while doing security work I never heard or thought of that. I look forward to seeing more of your stuff. Good presentation.

[SammyDiversified]

lmaoo the guy in the black, is he ok ??!!

[zaraki9661]

thanks that was very helpfull

if you coulde post more it will be great

thanks again

[Jonste24]

Are you using a real gun in this video?

[yin0625]

greatest handgun disarm video i have ever seen on youtube

[masterweeds1]

Great information on the how the body mind connection plays in self defense...Excellent job. ivegotammnesia is a bone head

[cqctraining]

@masterweeds1 - Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated!

[alanoasiss]

@mentholman702 I noted that too. xD Nice, another person sees the small details too.

[ivegotamnesia]

LOL who grabs the gun with 2 hands, second ur supposed to MOVE OUT OF THE LINE OF FIRE. Krav Maga is BY FAR better than w/e the fuck this is. I bet wen u disarm someone with a knife u grab the blade with both hands too lolol

[cqctraining]

@ivegotamnesia - I'm thinking you really do have amnesia. You're asking "who grabs the gun with 2 hands" but are claiming krav maga is better? I train in Krav Maga and we use two hands for disarms.

The point is that you must know how to use 1 and 2 hands for your disarms. 2 hands gives you leverage to disarm the gun and have control to clear and lock on target. But there are also methods for 1 hand "push and strike" moves.

Finally, as you twist the gun, you ARE out of the line of fire.

[brmarines123]

@ivegotamnesia u r first supposed to move out of the line of fire and if u grab the gun with both hands u have better control

[leapingcat]

Hia brain is not engaged and he wont fire the weapon. How the hell does he know what the attacker is thinking? This is the shit that will get YOU KILLED!!!

[cqctraining]

@leapingcat - Even though your input is unprofessional, I'm willing to school you a little bit here...

Pulling a trigger takes conscious thought and action (aside from an accidental pull from flinching or poor handgun disarm). It's not about "reading his mind" - it's about how the brain functions. It's incapable of consciously enacting split second timing on thought/speech and trigger pull in the split second that you perform your handgun disarm. Think about it and you'll realize it's true

[vafanculo85]

@leapingcat hey bud, I'm a former marine and have been trained in pistol and knife disarming. I have been taught different motions, but I can assure you what he has shown here will work.

[laz120]

the day after i almost got robbed really

[chadley6916]

This is joke right? I hope so!

[Ancavge]

Harry: “You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?”

punk: *grab gun* "what were you saying?"

[cjrush1009]

This would work great on a really stupid criminal

[ColonelMarksman]

You can wrench the gun away from him, step back, and cock the weapon faster than the human brain can perceive there is a threat in the first place. Moving when he waved the gun is the best moment because the gun's barrel is not facing your body; the only time it's dangerous. Step in, wrench it towards his body, he will break his finger and shoot himself. 2:45 -- he can pull the trigger but he's not hurting you. The number of seconds you're talking about in a disconnect is really minuscule.

[mrcmacc]

that's impossible, you can't think about the right moment to strike when you're on the pressure of a real gun, this guy even have his finger on the trigger.

[cqctraining]

@mrcmacc - what? You can't think about when to strike when someone's pointing a gun at you?

Let me answer this a different way...

You'd damn well BETTER think about when to strike when some guy's pointing a gun at you! Timing is CRITICAL in executing a handgun disarm technique if you don't want to get shot. That's the whole point of this self defense video. Watch it again (and again - and again).

I appreciate you commenting mrcmacc, but next time, please explain your opinion further, ok?

[mrcmacc]

@cqctraining Well man, sorry if I was misunderstood. I just said I prefer to not react. It's better than risk my life, I think.

[TheMacSan]

@mrcmacc If your instinct is passive. then you can't do this.

Keep in mind, these things are for self defense.. a mugger may want your money, but a rapist or murderer...

sometimes, to be passive IS giving your life.

I started learning a long time ago, not for my own safety, but to teach and protect others.

[TheMacSan]

@mrcmacc YOU yourself, might not be able to think when you have a gun pointed at you. But if you're not afraid of pain, and not afraid of death. What's stopping you from focusing? I have had a loaded weapon pointed at me... It doesn't hurt. Don't give it a chance to.

I don't agree with cqctraining's statement completely. Timing should influence action, not dictate it. Martial arts training becomes instinctive, if not, you are wasting time and money.

[mrcmacc]

@TheMacSan Well, you have your opinion and I have mine. But I think it's better hand my watch or my wallet than risk my life.

[TheMacSan]

@mrcmacc Sorry for the late reply here but:

You're putting too much faith in the ethical conduct of a mugger. You know his face; from his point of view, (when he gets what he wants from you,) you're a liability. He may very well shoot you anyway.

But regardless of your chosen COA, good luck.

[kontknager]

@mrcmacc

You can, but with lots and lots of routine.

[cardiacthapoet]

@mrcmacc you're a moron. timing is key when disarming a gun. smh

[TRUTH707]

A little to much chatter...

[L1ONFIRE]

@TRUTH707 but thats the point. its telling you what to think in that situation. and how to execute.

[cqctraining]

@TRUTH707 Yeah...L1ONFIRE is right. This is more of a "concept" video so the...um..."chatter" is kind of necessary.

You're more than welcome to comment on the concept of this self defense principle and your professional opinion on any of the videos is always appreciated, even should they disagree.

Thanks!

~ Jeff

[adasacat]

this is actually very good video

[TheChaves11b]

Very informative-5 stars!!

[cjrush1009]

I don't see the instructor stepping out of the line of fire. and not every assailant is going do a limp wristed gun wave.

[TheMacSan]

@cjrush1009 No school of thought is exactly the same on close muggings. I learned "pull the weapon-arm to safe direction, followed by joint manipulation. Wrist strength and practice are paramount."

But I wholly advocate concealed firearm carrying. Because hand-to-hand and non-cowardice are becoming antique. (Tragedy.)

[cqctraining]

@TheMacSan - you'll definitely find many schools of thought on handgun disarmament out there. While this self defense video isn't about the mechanics of how to disarm a gun, speed, leverage, and field of fire are paramount in whatever technique you decide to train with.

I also advocate concealed carry (though my state feels otherwise). Why should gangbangers be the only ones with a gun? ;-)

Thanks for commenting MacSan!

~ Jeff

[TheMacSan]

@cqctraining There are too many. Individually none better than the rest. It's a matter of what works consistently from person to person. In real life, you can't afford elaborate moves that you learned in steps. It all has to be instinctive to work. We LEARN in steps, but it should always be one action.

It's a shame. That we pass laws to punish and not inhibit.

[ColonelMarksman]

@cjrush1009 I agree, that was the last thing I noticed, but he also attacked when the gun was being waved away from the body. As soon as you see that barrel move away, the time to act is then. Another time a disconnect is made is when you're handing him your wallet. Of course, not many criminals are smart enough to tell you to put it on the ground or whatever, but they have to walk away at some point too.

[youknownoyuno]

@cjrush1009 This is just a demo...

[dcasanovax]

nice....and can you tell me if hi is at distasnce? how can i go closer in what situations?

[TheMacSan]

@dcasanovax At distance, the smart thing to do is run and use cover. It's very unlikely that the someone trying to shoot you from a distance (in the civilian world) is a competition shooter with handguns.

The military used to use smoke to get closer on the battlefield. But for an unarmed civilian to try to advance on say.. a posted rifleman? This is just an all-around bad hypothetical. Haha.

[bathiya01]

@dcasanovax in that situation u also have to use a gun. u got a shoot down the kid before he blows ur head off :)

[stmcmillan]

between the upper lip and eyebrow hits the Medulla and pons= instant shut down not even able to pull the trigger. But gotta have some skillz to execute that shot!

[cqctraining]

Great feedback!  Thanks for chiming in and leaving a comment!

[etocadet]

you know them scenes in films where a guy holds a hostage as a shield with a gun to the head if he cant be reasoned with and has to be shot whats the best option, ive heard the legs if u hit the hostage or the bad guy it splits them up leaving him open tho preferably u dont want to hit the hostage, ive also heard in the mouth cause it hits the nervous system but as its a movie they could just be speaking bullshit. my queston is in what situation if i shot him would \wouldnt he shoot the hostage

[picassopainter2]

If the old human shield thing comes up in real life a police sniper will shoot at a very specific spot in the head (not sure exactly where) and it shuts down all function instantly and they can't pull the trigger. Thar ya go.

[ColonelMarksman]

@picassopainter2 People pulling the trigger after they're dying or dead is a Hollywood stunt. If you shoot someone and they're still alive enough to think about pulling the trigger they will, but not if you hit them in the head. Rifle rounds impact the head with enough force to knock them down at least.

[picassopainter2]

@ColonelMarksman And I'm thinking of Hollywood. Bullets impacting people like trains is a hollywood thing too. They go so fast that the punch through it like a BB gun through paper. I don't even remember what comment you replied to but ok.

[ColonelMarksman]

@etocadet I agree with picasso here, but you also have to understand pulling the trigger on a gun takes considerable, purposeful force (on most handguns). If you're dead and slumping to the ground, your trigger finger isn't going to be pulling on it enough.
