  • why would i have a knife with me?

  • @lilbici I personally keep a knife with me usually..

  • I wouldnt reccomend this guys...

  • That's why I carry my .45

  • This is sort of good, but states dont allow for people to conceal knives that have blades of 3" or higher. This technique wont work if you have a folding knife.

  • Looks like a good way to get shot.

  • would this work with a pen/pencil I always carry one in my pocket never know when ya need to write something

  • @mahleprechaunflute he put this gun to my back so I turned around slit his arm then stabbed him in the arm twice lol (u asked I told

  • Just keep in mind, they are live rounds when dealing with a real gun. Reaally?!

  • Sorry but this is unusefull beacause when your in a real kill or be killed fight. u cant use sutch tricks when you are a NORMAL person ,. its just to difficult and dangerous i say.. give the money when the robber is turning he's back to you cut him.

  • Comment removed

  • man ineed a knife because i have gotten attacked before and teh cops seemed to brush it off and this angered me alot. So now im going to take thing into my own hands if I ever get attacked again. I need a suggestion for a knife. Anyonoe got a good suggestion ?

  • @Phoenixblood23 Get a knife that's easy to conceal, that has a sharp point and that it's capable of stopping the agressor acording to the situation.

    For example: you can use the knife's handle to beat the atacker, if he's disarmed or dont represent a high risk.

    If he DOES represent a high risk, just stab him lol. Try to get a small dagger with two edges like the Mtech dagger (about 12cm blade). And remember: CONCEAL IT!

    Sorry for the bad english.

    See your sate's laws about knives.

  • Make sure you try to put your finger on the trigger, so you can blow your brains out before they do

  • what if the pistol doesnt hav a hammer?

    

  • @money96plyr

    If it's a revolver a good thing to do is hold the cylinder tight, it will stop him from shooting.

    If it's a glock type pistol, then you got nothing to do!

    Anyway, keep in mind that resisting a crime/robbery is dangerous, that what will make the bad guy shoot/not shoot the gun is your luck.

    Better give him your cellphone, as soon as he turns his back to you and starts running, throw your knive on him (it would be easier if you have a gun!).

  • @8048838 If you're really lucky, you can push the slide back, out of battery. Obviously chances of that happening before he gets the trigger pulled are pretty slim.

  • @acethedisturbed Just wait till he gets distracted, pretend to see something behind him or "accidentaly" drop something from your pocket.

    If he has a revolver just do this and grab strong the cilinder.

  • guy goes to the pearly gates and the angel says: "Let me guess, Expert Village?"

  • @mahleprechaunflute self defense bro

  • What if you grab the gun but completely forget about his other arm? He can just smack your or punch you and disarm you also maybe kill you :P

  • Till your able to call the cops or something? who else are you gonna call dumbass Ghostbusters?

  • Good way to get killed

  • This is a highly irresponsible video. Number one, the best thing you can do is be complaint. There are no second chances with this. If you fail, you die. That should be mentioned.

    Number two, most people are not going to be able to grab the gun. I know only about 3 or 4 people who are quick enough to grab the gun and break the grip.

    The human arm is a lever system. Small movements at the shoulder = big movements at the wrist. If you grab at the gun, it takes little effort to make you miss.

  • Goodidea, but most gun men arent so close

  • dont do that... the bad guy will be aiming at your backhead...

  • Never put your hand on the back of the slide, because it moves, and it doesn't care what is in the way.

  • um the funny thing is if you grab the slide of the gun and he fires what you think is going to happan to your hand 0.o boo boo

  • epic knife finishing flip at the end

  • TBH comply as much as possible like.. giving your wallet.. wallet<Life

    if that person intends to kill you... ya last resort

  • A mugger can pull that trigger in the time it takes to blink and most muggers wouldn't be stupid enough to stand withing grabbing distance. Also if it dose work just like this guy shows and you grab the gun slashing the muggers arms & neck then I wouldn't recommend waiting around for the police like a big hero because the guy would be fucking dead withing minutes & it's your ass thats going to jail.

  • @kingsman565 No it's not because it's considered self-defense. You have a case to stand on because there's probably security tapes somewhere in your vicinity. You might get fined or marked for illegal weapons possession (the knife), but you DO have a case to stand on.

    I wouldn't try this against a mugger, but if you have some psychopath who hates you or something, then this is something that you should know.

  • I like your vids, but you can`t trust the gun if it has a hammer or not. Let`s say he has a glock. This gun dont have a hammer so if you are grabbing after the hammer he can just pull of the shot and dammage your hand.

  • I think it's posible to grab the gun,you need a lot of training,but if the guy with the gun stands far from you...you don't stand a chance.

  • ez egy idiota

  • @luvthevols09 so its like search and destroy??

  • @TheGnomePoker u kno cod

  • The basis of this defense would be effective with alot of training. Contrary to popular belief it is actually quite possible for a normal human to turn and grab the gun before they shoot. You have to consider that they are not expecting it, but even when Ive trained and they KNEW i was going to, they could never pull the trigger fast enough. However, this guy sucks at demo and explanation as not to sound like a twit.

  • turn Lol? isnt that a bit obvious and they would shoot your ass by that time when you supposedly knock it out the way!

  • I see alot of Arm chair warriors here that play way to much COD. First off what the instructor is demonstrating is a valid defense. The key is to be self aware at all times of not only yourself but the badguy with the gun. If he does place against it your body at any time or perhaps prod you along you can grab it. The " oh " the gunman is not that stupid or what they would do have plainly not be in this situation anything to any number of things can happen this is just one of them

  •  cool move

  • yeah this is the type of thing you dont post up on the net. If they have you at gun point just give them your wallet or what ever and then call the cops when they leave.

  • 0:59 - 1:04 MGS3 Sanke eater LOL ^^

  • That "shoulder turn" would probably make the gunman fire off his round by reflex lol.

  • Dude,we want to defend ourselfs,but without going to jail or dieing.

  • never bring a knife to a gun fight! how old are you? 13 , 14 maybe. why are you explaining this and not the instructor? is he shy? 

  • never bring a knife to a gun fight!

  • two things are likely to happen listening to morons like this. 1: Death or 2: Prison

    This nutball watches waaaay to much TV. Typical American idiot...

  • you wuld forget every thing when your in stress mode

  • @nightwolfLt true my stepgrandpa thought it would be funny to put an ak to my face

  • If you put your fingeron the hammer he can shoot the gun and injure you horribly thus causing your reaction to wince back in pain then he will shoot you.

  • @jasonsand No.. Chuck norris was changed by god

  • why stab the arm, go for the neck, if he is trying to kill you with that gun.

  • @lordmat666 because then u wont get a life sentence

  • Why would the assailant stick the gun that far out and touch his back with it? Would it not be kept low tucked near the waist, where it is harder to grab?

    This technique would get someone killed in the real world. the guy would jump back and start firing.

  • I have a Marine issued OKC-3S and i carry it on my at all times, its not a small knife by any means and honestly most random people who pull out a gun only do it for the scare tactic and aren't actually prepared or ready to shoot someone, especially if they seem unarmed, so the shoulder roll if actually done right is completely possible, it would confuse and frighten any random guy with a gun if in one motion you had deflected the gun and had an 8 inch blade at his throat.

  • @Bobmarlyzfriend what do you mean?????

  • OH!! so someone just randomly puts a gun to my back, and says "HI! IM GOING TO SHOOT YOU NOW!"

    and i just happen to be carrying a huge ass knife in my pocket!

  • Never bring a knife to a gunfight.......

  • Never bring a knife to a gunfight.

  • compliant? whts that mean?

  • Yeah, after you slashed a guy with a knife you should hold the dude at gunpoint untill the police comes. -_-".

  • @goldengun5980 You call the police??? What do you think! Yes obviously you just go strolling up to him and you immediately slap him across the face and roll away. you mentally crippled too? i just wrote you a freakin essay on the subject. If you want to go punch someone in the face and get shot thats your problem. seriously more people like you should try this shit and see if it works, then there would be less idiots in the world. PS: You are not even close to being superman, stop thinking so.

  • @123123tbone LOL your a funny person!!! Are you a comedian? I would love to hear your bits! :)

  • I'm in the marine. They train us not to go for the weapon using our hands, but to turn around,push the gun away from u(if they pull the trigger, they miss you), then you will go for the kill point, the eyes and groin! Use your index and thumb, and press as hard as you can so u can injure his eyes, he then can't see u, and then dislocate his shoulder locking in his shoulder and disarm him.

  • Comment removed

  • @101tenkan Yeah its illegal to hold people at gunpoint too but people do it don't they?

  • @goldengun5980 Even if you managed to turn around and grab the gun, all he has to do now is walk backwards and he is free, he shoots you, you die, and he gets your money. DO NOT be stupid and try to disarm him, he simply has an advantage over you in every way.

    Im sorry but you cannot become a figher unless you are not physically handicapped. BUT YOU CAN DEFEND YOURSELF,

  • it will NOT be by way of martial arts or anthing close, the best you can do is have a projectile weapon, such as a gun, pepper spray, a tazer (if you don't mind sudden twitches of the attackers finger on the trigger) or something along those lines. but remember what is more important, LIVING and losing maybe a couple of 20's in your wallet, or having a VERY VERY high chance of being shot/killed and saving your precious money for the afterlife?

  • @theawakener7 Point taken.Like the reaction drills vid,nice one.

  • @suza1103 Since when was double edged weapons that are longer then your Handpalm* Average legaly ?? Unlocked carried ????

  • @theawakener7 you mean navy??? lol

  • i didnt see what u did :/

  • HAHAHA. WHAT? Did he just say to remove the magazine, then eject the round in the chamber, THEN hold the guy at gun point? Might as well just let him shoot you to begin with for being so stupid.

  • Inexperienced in actual combat. He’s an expert ? This guy is dangerous because he thinks that crap will work.

  • This isn't Modern warfare II

  • @paintballkid199 we are not talking about paintball... i dont say dont try, try it but 95% of chance you will get shot...

  • @aYglr Glad you not talking about paintball because neither am I. And if you just watched the video to criticize it then fuck off. this isn't a place for whinners and debaters, its a place for someone to learn how to protect themselves in the case and if the situation is right. Im not saying everytime you get mugged to try this, you should give up whatever you can, but if you give your stuff away and they still presses, then that is a life or death situation and that means using that 5% chance

  • @paintballkid199 you are an idiot dude.. actually ppl like you should try this shit, so world canl be idiot free place...

  • i dont carry a knife with me

  • nice!!! teaching students to wield knives at all times, dude that's useless!!!

    I assume your an instructor? if that's the case it dishonor you... it's time to let you out on the pasture, shot and laid to rest.

  • If someone is stupid enogh to get close to you while pointing a gun at you, you wont get shot if you move fast, he will miss for sure. If you just stand there chances that you will be shot is MUCH higher

  • If someone has a gun pointed at you and you're going to get shot, you can either do something or do nothing.

    If you do something, you might get shot.

    If you do nothing, you will.

    At a distance of 21 feet, a man with a knife can charge and stab a man with a holstered sidearm before they can draw and shoot.

    About 5 years ago, where I live, a guy got shot 4 times in the chest, pulled a knife and killed his assailant. He then walked to the hospital and survived.

    Food for thought.

  • didnt N. Dynamite wear a Sai in the goodwill just like that,and Yashura's ryu looks alot like the rex kwon do studio from that movie

  • havent you guys ever heard never bring a knife to a gun fight lol this video sucks

  • Yeah, do this if you want to get yourself shot in the spine and die! DO NOT do this, never bring a knife to a gun fight, it's not worth dying because you are getting robbed by some asshole. This guy is a martial arts fighter and possibly in the military, and he knows what he is doing. @x4qz I agree

  • @davidlysterxbl You can swing your body faster than he can pull the trigger. That's not the issue. The issue is that once the gun was out of the line of fire, he bothers to actually pull out a knife, back-handed style, and as his opponent stands there not doing anything, slits his arm and then stabs him in the throat. It's also very ignorant of how knife stabs work in law cases. It's extremely wasteful and dangerous.

  • as soon as you attack the gun man with a knife you are guily of not only consiling a deadly wepon but also assult with a deadly wepon. so you both go to jail if not worse and if he is quicker then you, that bullet is deffinetly going to do some serious damage

  • Bad Advice! There wasn't a qualifier or any warning Not to try this move unless highly skilled in martial arts or unless you know the attacker intends to shoot you right at the moment going beyond robbing you. This video is dangerous for that naive person who thinks watching a video is enough training.

  • @x4qz tell me about it, I got a better self-defense method: Do as they say and don't get shot!

  • i usualy carry pocket knives so how do i do this because ill get shot by the time i get the knife out of the slot..

  • @ranginggod dont do it

  • "you know what happends to people who carry knives? they get shot."

  • @outspokenreflex You know what happens to people who shoot? absolutely nothing, they just get more speeding tickets from the wonder police.

  • @outspokenreflex definitely not a rule without exception. You have to make the call at the moment it happens, you can get the upper edge in the right circumstances, but I couldn't do this excersise, when I see a gun I surrender, but more likely than not it's a knife at worst. If I have practiced why do I have to retreat. 2nd Amendment applies to knives too, along with the right to meet force with force.

  • I hear self-defence tells you how to slice someones throat like he just did. Good self defence, saving lives there- good job Tres Tew.

    +1 This if you think self-defence means slicing someones throat open (LAWL?)

  • you guys who think it wont work are retarded the person with the gun cant just stand there all day he will tell you at some point to get down or move and when that happens he wont be looking at shooting you at the first muscle movement that is when you can get away with a half turn hitting there arm

  • no no no as soon as u move a muscle he shoots!!

  • he holds the knife and gun snake-style

  • now, I want to see you do that in real situation not in set up submissive student just stands there.

  • A smart gun man knows not to have the gun in arms reach. This will only work if they are stupid and a lot of them aren't.

  • @Kaibo101 Did you just suggest that most gun men are smart? On what planet? If you're going to get a gun to your back it's probably going to be by some drug addict or gangster or something. It's not going to be some intelligent criminal, most criminals aren't intelligent.

  • @Knarf009 ; There's many intelligent criminals. But they are called politicians then. ^^

  • @Knarf009 No. I was trying to say that most people who have a gun and use it in the since they just did are not smart. But it doesn't take a genius to stay out of arms reach. Soon as people catch on to that fact then this video helps no one. And if people are going to use this in real life then speed and commitment are the key. A human will always be slower than a bullet.

  • Very well done

  • Don't grab the top of an automatic because if he fires off a round while your holding it YOU WILL BE INJURED.  Other than that Good Job!!!!

  • stupid

  • you should do exactly what he said but i would take the gun and point it at him and say 'give me your wallet'

  • Watch the video again. He uses a torso twist with his feet firmly planted. For this to have a snowballs chance in hell to work, he'd need to to move his right leg forward and to to his left while twisting. And he would need a large honking knife positioned just right on his belt. And he would need the gunman to blind. This would be a great move if Ray Charles ever tries tries to rob you. Other than that unlikely scenario, it's bullshit.

  • Comment removed

  • you are absolutely right but with a leaaasssssst mistake u can kill urself with a gun guy

  • outstanding 5/5 rating

  • I dunno. I wouldn't want to fuck with a guy that knew how to use a knife.

  • A knife is a lousy weapon to carry around for self-defense purposes. There are weapons easily available that have more stopping power and aren't as likely to get you in trouble with the law. A simple ball-peen hammer, for example, can be legally carried anywhere in public, and you can knock somebody into next week without being as likely to kill him as you would if you stabbed him.

  • @logik316 Oh yeah lemme just put a hammer in my back pocket next time I'm in the projects.

  • Why not? It's more appropriate for a coat pocket, but ball peen style hammers come in several different sizes you can choose from so you can just get one of the smaller ones. An old hobo trick you can also use is to remove the head from a hammer and put it in a sock, and tie a knot in the open end and use it like a sap. Bounce that off somebody's skull, and he's not getting up anytime soon.

  • Yeah but the knife can prove useful and necessary if you want more of a surprising technique. your not gonna be able to hide a friggin hammer. Where I live (near the border of mexico) theres this huge gang that just kill and kill (drug carts) so tell me, if i were to run into them and they have a gun, would you rather me have a hidden knife, easy for self defence, or a FREAKING hammer which is probably to heavy for me to fucking carry?

  • You're probably thinking of a typical claw hammer, which really is pretty much too heavy and bulky to be practical to carry around. Ball peens come in many sizes, and a medium one isn't any heavier than a retractable baton. The advantage is that all it takes is one hard smack to the head to stun somebody, whereas even a lethal blow from a knife will usually take several minutes to disable a person. And you know he's going to be screaming for his buddies in the meantime.

  • @fidgetingfinch damn right!

  • you could but it isnt as effective as other strikes you could do. you would wanna hit the groin the eyes the throat or under the chin to snap the neck back

  • No pro's

  • Watching this kids vid's is like a train wreck... I just cant stop looking ! so unbelievably bad !

  • I said that it's illegal to carry a FIXED blade in a lot of areas in CALIFORNIA. I actually carry a folding knife. My comment was on how impractical and irrelevant for someone to be carrying a fixed blade. And no, even in a BAR fight or as a law enforcement officer, you won't be carrying a fixed blade either.

  • @erictheboywonder

    Yeah, one would think there's a pretty good reason why cops don't have knives for dealing with violent suspects, yet you've got all these dojo darlings out there who think it's a good idea to carry one around in case of a confrontation.

  • It is 2 seconds. You're nervous when you're being held at gunpoint. Your mind is racing, your hands are shaking. It won't be so quick when you're that nervous.

  • That's where a fixed blade comes in handy. A folding knife, even a switchblade, can delay you about two seconds. In those two seconds, he can punch you and you can lose control of the situation. He would then shoot you.

  • Who carries a fixed blade knife on them? I saw some cops giving this guy a hard time for carrying one, even though it's legal in some areas in California.

  • i do....

  • @erictheboywonder

    Right. The knife laws in most states are so byzantine, even the cops often can't figure them out. Regulations can also vary by each county and town. Chances are they'll either take you in and let you sort the details out in front of a judge, or just confiscate your knife and make you have to sue to get it back (which is pretty unlikely to ever happen). Who needs that kind of shit?

  • why would you take out the magazine and eject the round out of the chamber then point the gun at him?

  • @callum154 he says "or you can keep it and hold him at gunpoint" as in keep the magazine and the rounds.

  • @callum154

    if you listen he says "or you can keep it" but he's chrisitan.

  • On a perfect world.

  • wait I know that Posture!

    is this the basics of CQC?

  • if you dont have a weapon with you just grab the arm quickly and snatch the gun. free gun. ftw.

  • is that a real knife

  • @NkeYBo

    Most likely not, since he put it to the kid's throat.

  • and what if u dont have a knife?

  • than find another video

  • Rather be tried by 12 then carried by 6, that's my sensei always says.

  • rather be carried by six than raped by any number of inmates.

  • what if i don't have aknife under my shirt

    then what's happend ?

  • And ho has a knife under his shirt like that? Rambo!!??

  • Well, I have. Shouldn't you too?

  • when you hold the wrist the gunman can easily move his hand in circular motion and shot

  • you should shoot him once....you dont know if its loaded or even real, so shoot him,it doesnt have to be a deadly shot does it..

  • well...while you're doing all that,

    How much time does the gunman have to just redirect the gun at you...? Think about it

  • you suck

  • when u get the gun shott them in the leg puts them down and you dont kill them

  • y would u have a knife on u on that moment tho?

  • Actually no. I see no reason to keep a violent person alive after he has threatened you. Yes I will be the violent person in turn but that is how it is supposed to be. Anyone who says different has seen too many dramatic movies where the good guy disarms the guy quickly and lets him live. Not realistic and not typical of what happens in the real world. Also not recommended by professionals when in a life threatening situation. Additionally because the justice system does not work.

  • i think i would do whatever the man with a gun says unless im wearing a bullet proof vest.. and NEVER drop the clip out and unchamber the round!! just drop him as soon as you get the gun.

  • When you take the gun from him why not just shoot him? Or slash his throat? If I am held up at gunpoint I will take that person as a threat if he is armed or disarmed. In an actual encounter you will not be thinking on how to save your attacker you will be thinking on how to eliminate the threat and save your own skin.

  • because you will go to jail.(in the us) Once the deadly threat has been removed i.e. u disarming him, deadly action is no longer permissible.

  • How can you be sure that once disarming him he will leave you alone? If the threat of serious bodily harm and/or death is what I feel that full fills the definition of self-defense. It does not matter if the attacker has no weapon. If the attacker is still willing to try and harm me I cannot imagine why anyone would still try to employ non-lethal force. I'd definitely try to kill whoever the threat is. Do you really think you are going to be calm enough to think about law anyway after THAT?

  • unless you have a reason to believe that he has another weapon and is attempting to use it, you will go to jail if you disarm and kill.

  • Yes and No. It all depends upon the jury and which side the jury "feels" is right. An unarmed person is still a threat if you feel that he can take away your weapon from you or simply kill you without a weapon. It just has to be realistic in your eyes as well as the jury's. The Definition of threat varies for everyone. If you are tiny and have no muscle and you are against someone huge you would be very afraid of having some type of horrible damage left from him hitting you.

  • In 1982 a suspect pulled a 9mm pistol on Sgt John MacAulay of the SFPD. MacAulay managed to twist the suspect's gunhand behind his back and was applying a chokehold to subdue him when the suspect pulled a .38 revolver from his waistband with his free hand and fired over his shoulder shoot MacAulay in the face, fatally wounding him. The deadly threat is not the weapon you see in an attacker's hand, but rather the attacker himself and his lethal intent.

  • THANK YOU!

  • @barbarydoll

    Suspect was thinking productively. I mean always leave with more than one gun. I don't condone using a gun. I am just stating how criminals are getting smarter and craftier.

  • I can see where they're coming from. They need better techniques than that to make it work. I mean comeon, so many factors come into play when you're held at gunpoint, you're not thinking about where you're going to strike them, how fast you are going to strike them, or with what you are going to strike them with. You just want to be safe, your safest bet is to leave the knife out of the equation, and just use bare hands to disarm the weapon from the offender.

  • I've been doing martial arts for 11 years.. you wanna know what I'm gonna do if someone pulls a gun?... I'm gonna hand over my wallet lol..

    seriously these videos are like taking swimming lessons from someone who can't swim lol

  • this is stupid! Look at his hand placement, it is all wrong. Someone really pointing a gun at you would easily be able to pull the gun away. And don't get me started with using a knife on a gun disarm. You really don't want to tale the time and effort to draw the knife in the middle of the gun disarm process. Learn how to do an actual gun disarm buddy!!!
