  • Honestly he pulled the trigger BEFORE he was disarmed. Besides, anyone who knows anything about firearms knows you keep it out of reach of your opponent. This is basic common sense.

  • if that guy had a tighter grip on the gun and he did that he has more than a 50% chance it would have set off the trigger if this were a real scenario . stupid technique

  • @ATP - Instilling honor and real self-respect to criminals, ...or anyone, is not an easy task, and you do it in one of the few ways it matters today....to our young of mind who believe that respect is only theirs for the taking. Then again you are Delta. Bless you for your sacrifice, and thank you for continuing trying to make our nation better, I hope in the future more people can follow in your path, not to mention the fact that everyone already inherently knows self-defense is awesome.

  • @wakeupnowsean Thank you for your kind words. I do desire to bring hope, help and life change to those who most have given up on. I share what made the difference in my life by sharing through my book and now a film. Again, thanks for seeing the good we do. Clarification I have trained professional operators in special forces including D/F over the years, I myself was served in U.S. Marines. Semper Fi, Victor Marx

  • Good techniques, way too much text on it

  • @DrVoltage1 disagree, never knew it was his left hand that made initial contact until I read the description. Even still, I watched the video a few more times and can still barely tell where is first contact.

  • Still a bullet in the chamber :D

  • Black dude said ohhhhh?!? lol

  • @MrIwannafly21 yes, he was not expecting a strip of weapon. That why everyone was laughing and to his credit he laughed at himself in stead of bowing up and getting prideful. I never saw him again after we left that youth facility. I have prayed for him since then and hope he is doing well in his life now. It's been over 7 years now.

  • That's why I roll akimbo.

  • solution? shooter stands 6 ft away

  • That was pretty damn awesome!! :)

    

  • Shit, if you blinked....you totally missed it.

  • Nice move, notes say left hand but you use right for "main grab"?

    Also, I noticed the right hand does a "rotating" twist, doesn't this increase the possibility of fire?

  • Show us how to disarm a Sniper rifle XD

  • @TheMaTaTa212 lol i dont think a sniper would be up close at all =p he'd be hiding up high somewhere making it rain on you

  • @TheMaTaTa212 An Atomb bomb would do it. Maybe you should look at this dumb question again - then remove it - before lots of other people take the p*ss out of you......

  • @Factnotfictionpeople bahhawaaa! Thanks :-)

  • @ATPMINISTRIES I can't tell if your trying to be a sarcastic asshole or if it just came across that way. But I just thought this was a little humorous with all the stereotypes that the man (Or "Gang member") with the gun was black. Other then that great video and I really enjoyed watching it!

  • @TraxxasVXLRustler My bad, I apologize, sarcastic was the flavor of the moment. We get so many narrow minded viewed responses that. I interpreted your comment to say that we were not really in a youth prison facility with a "real gang member" See my top comment regarding black guy. Again, please accept my apology. victor marx

  • @ATPMINISTRIES It's perfectly fine! Just happy your a man and not a little youtube prick! I understand why it would have been taking the way you took the comment.

  • i like how the "gang member" is just a black guy from the audience

  • Thats so wrong, whoever LIKES this video is only impressed with the speed of his hands. THE PROPER WAY is to Move your head/body away from the line of fire AT THE SAME TIME with your hands. If the attacker pulls the triger at the same time Marx starts to move, he will be leaving him with a whole in the head. The choreographies of his defense are dead wrong lol. SEARCH KRAV MAGA GUN DISSARMAMENT

  • @Teo317The biggest critique is that my head does not move to get out of the line of fire. Here is the logic, the left hand comes up from the blind spot of the attacker holding the weapon, (IF) executed correctly the parry is the redirect which moves the line of fire from defenders head. 1. Best case scenario the strip works threat eliminated,

  • @ATPMINISTRIES2. most likely case the weapon fires intentionally or accidentally and powered blast and percussion of discharge temporarily deafens defender but he has control of weapon now. 3. worst case attacker keeps a 5 -8 ft distance and unloads a clip in defenders chest and head,

  • @ATPMINISTRIES KEEP SPREADING THE GOOD NEWS BROTHER! No person is beyond redemption! Thank you!

  • @TheBigLeeg Thank you brother!

    

  • That guy is greased lightning.

  • Why's he got to be a gang member?

  • @papernult1 that is what people that join gangs are called, just as if he chose to join the KKK he would have been a skinhead

  • Very cool!

  • I'm so impressed! The guy is quick as hell.

  • Holy.... I watched it like 10 times, still can't get it! LOL Black belts rule big time!!

  • That was something as a marine and a LINE instructor that if you have a RANGED weapon, utilized the RANGE. That aside, I understand this was a demo and meant to get attention, and I will say, very, VERY impressive.  However, if you ever find yourself in a situation were you are holding someone at gunpoint, GET SOME DISTANCE.

  • @JunFan777 agreed and Semper Fi! USMC 83'-86' PMI and competitive shooter 9th Com BN 1 st Marine DIV

  • Army's Delta Force, LT. General (Ret.) Jerry Boykin said,- "Victor Marx is one of the top martial artists in the country. I have never seen anybody with faster hands"

    Frank Shamrock - UFC Undefeated Champion, "Victor Marx is a true human being. His honesty and forthrightness are unquestionable. His belief and passion for our youth is honorable. I believe in Victor Marx and his mission. I hope that you will be touched by his commitment like I have."

  • Nice distraction with the talking.......but I will say.....dude is fast!

    

  • Ok so, next time I hold someone up. Stay away from the victim by at least 5 feet. - Thanks :-)

  • @deej1478 No, what this shows is that you should not try to hold someone at gunpoint from less than a few meters (yards) away. Go ahead and try this with an un-loaded airsoft or similar.

  • Thats some fast shit

  • i hate pop ups!!!!

  • wtf!!!i couldnt even see what happned! that some gnarly shit

  • Fast

  • I give up...you win...just one thing don't try this technique where i see it go down... in the Boogie down Bronx or Brooklyn North...you'll end up dead...Lol.

  • I love it!! Fantastic move! Great self defense mechanism!

  • Dayyyyum!!!! That was nice. If I tried some crap like that, I'd probably be 10 times slower, my sweaty palms would slip off the guys wrist, while losing grip on the gun with the other hand. I would akwardly scream and when I turned to take off running in fear i'd get 3 rounds to the back. That's just how I roll.

  • @mastrdanart No true, Only trained professionals know well enough to keep the weapon a good distance away from the target.

  • Am I the only one that re-watched it while repeatedly hitting the pause button?

  • @mastrdanart exactly. I have taken martial arts classes for years. Arm yourself. Its the best defense from all.

  • @mastrdanart tell that to the thief that tried to rob that one MMA fighter u should see his after pictures lmao of course it doesnt always work out but there is a reason people practice it it does work

  • It Just had to be a Beretta 92, that guy is quick like a Rattler.

  • Comment removed

  • I Love that they pick the black student to represent the robber.

  • People need to stop trying to bash this technique. This really works. In my opinion it uses element of surprise, technique and stun in order for this to work. But like any other thing, you can't just watch this and expect it to work after watching it. It will take practice in order for you to get it done the right way. Thanks for the video.

  • Comment removed

  • @mastrdanart Actually that is not usually the case. A mugger usually isn't a trained fighter, just a thug with a gun using the intimidation factor. From what I have seen, they like to put the gun right in your face. The technique works because action is always faster than reaction.

  • @mattxr2i thanks for your comment. There are always so many variables in muggings, random acts of violence, kidnappings etc. It is prudent that those who wish not to become victims be prepared for every range. My dealing with gang members is that of how you described. SO yes I agree with you more versus the statement from the other individual that it never happens.. never and always are words we should use sparingly especially in real self defense. Again thank you for your comment.VM

  • @ATPMINISTRIES Thanks for your reply. I agree 100%. Which is why I am training for close, medium, and long range attacks. I believe that reliance on only one skill or technique is a path to folly. I also think avoidance is best when possible. This is also why I like the word "usually". Because there can (and here is where the word fits) always the possibility of something unexpected. "Always" fits well with "possibility". :-)

  • @mattxr2i Y Yes it is the case...i wonder how many real armed Robberies you' ve seen(mugging went out in the 70's Btw) i ve seen my share in 20+ years in security and LEO work..trust me if a Robber does that he's inexperienced. If they r stupid enough to give you the gun it may work. but then maybe not. if the guy reads you and shoots first...you're done. its a risky technique.

  • @mastrdanart Your argument, while valid, is based on variables. An experienced robber won't afford me the opportunity to take his weapon. I know this. A trained fighter will not put his gun right in my face withing striking distance. However, when dealing with common thugs, most will have overconfidence in the fact that they have a gun and you do not. This overconfidence will lead them to make mistakes. After all. They have to be close enough for you to hand them your wallet.

  • @mastrdanart I tend to be concern when someone states "never" I had a student use this exact technique when he was held up at his vehicle. Held the guy, police arrested him.

  • @mastrdanart

    Sad but true

  • @mastrdanart Damn right. 

  • I blinked...I missed it.

  • i bet he learn that from jackie chan

  • Fast

  • Very Very Good ! Mr. Marx is very fast !

  • Extra points if you break his hand while removing gun. It's easy after you've practiced a few times.

  • Awesome!

    only an idiot will point gun at a "reach" distance... Gun works from much longer distances ;-)

  • Lol Jackie Chan can do it better in Rush Hour !

  • 90% of people that tried that in REAL LIFE got shot in the face...

  • Hey guy , thanks for your comment. I called BULL on this "Expert" for DISABLING the firearm and and NOT DISABLING the assailant. I have never heard anyone justify DISABLING the only weapon available, and in your hand, while leaving a fully ABLE assailant standing before you. Doesn't work. I NEVER said one must "shoot him" ..those remain your words, Reread the posts if you have forgotten. You CONTINUE to prevaricate about what you have clearly written. Sorry to ruffle your little scales.

  • Haha. The Black guy is the Gang Member

  • @OriginalMoTioNz I have seen a few others post the same comment, inferring as though we are somehow are profiling "Blacks." This is ridiculous. He had raised his hand and really wanted to try to beat me at this pistol demo. You can see afterwards we shook hands and hugged. He is a good young man. Truth Clarified, victor marx

  • WOW! That was fast!

  • WOW! That was fast!

  • Socialist States will condemn a woman to living hell by denying her the firearm to defend herself and instill fear of punishment by the judicial collective if she does defend herself with

    one. Those that say "jail everytime" for employing a gun in defense are LIARS! PERIOD Americans study and apply your Second Ammendment guarantee and if possible move to a State that does not view thugs as the victims and leave you helpless! Study Castle Doctrine-Stand Your Ground- and Curtelege law.

  • So the lesson here is....if you have a ranged weapon, don't ever stand near your target? If you have a knife, you better be damn good with it up close.

  • Gang members use the C.A.R. System of gun fighting nowadays obviusly This guy is no gangmember looking like he's pointing a remote control at a t.v.

  • i can disarm someone.... me my dad n my uncle n a few others were drinkin on the porch one night n he came up to me with a toy gun n he was like "hey bo..." n b4 he could say hey boy i did the jackie chan thing from rush hour n had the gun outta his hand n pointing back at him in like half a second... everyone that was sitting there was just like OOOOOOH!!! HE CUT U OFF!! hahaha good times..... i actually surprised myself hahaha when i did it i didnt think i was gonna do it so smoothly hahah

  • this video is pure bullshit im sorry... Ive been MMA before UFC went sour on SPIKE TV... true martial artists dont look to disarm the enemy but rather avoid them. End of the day in a REAL situation NO WAY in hell u have time to get the clip... BULLLSHIT

  • Sure he took out the magazine, but did he clear the gun?

  • that was awesome!

  • Looks like you were trained by Chuck Norris.

  • of course its a black dude again

  • @Sarpelia I have seen a few others post the same comment, inferring as though we are somehow are profiling "Blacks." This is ridiculous. He had raised his hand and really wanted to try to beat me at this pistol demo. You can see afterwards we shook hands and hugged. He is a good young man. Truth Clarified, victor marx

  • @ATPMINISTRIES It's good that you clarified this. I hate to say it but those who complain so much about racist and stereotyping are usually the ones you are racist themselves. Nothing should be taken to offense if it's not intended to be offensive. Just because he's a black guy in this situation, there is no indication in any case that he was chosen for the demonstration because he is black.

  • @ATPMINISTRIES What was the point of saying "Gang Member" in your title?

  • @acr08807 he was one

    

  • @acr08807 because chances are if you are walking down the street minding your own business and then you get a gun in your face, it's a gang member.

  • That was lightning quick disarm. nice.

  • OK... fine he disarms the bad-guy but why in heavens name did he disable the firearm?...Just

    absolute Hollywood foolishness!!!

  • @nametakenuse One on one shooting a now disarmed man would get you your ass handed to you in court. The only reason to have that weapon hot would be if he was planning to kill his attacker after disarming him. That's Hollywood foolishness...

  • @newwata wrote >The ONLY reason to have that weapon hot would be if he was planning to kill his attacker after disarming him."< You can find many combat experienced soldiers, law enforcement, and other private individuals who will disagree with you. Real situations remain fluid. The "attacker" here is disarmed not disabled and there may be others. BGs deescalate when staring down a pipe. It is now a deterent. Use if necessarry. Be willing to stand in court before judge and jury of your peers.

  • @nametakenuse Well you just said it. "combat" experienced. On the street stooting someone whom you have disarmed and is no longer showing agression with land you in jail every time. This demo did not involve multible attackers. It was one person. Even using a weapon on an unarmed violent attacked will put you behind bars. I've been in martial arts since I could walk. And in that time I have studied the applicable laws. You go ahead and do your thing on the streets, but it won't matter in prison.

  • @newwata You are the one who would use the gun to be "shooting" someone as indicated by your statement- Listen- firearms are used everyday in America to save lives- apparently you feel emboldened to spew more disinformation by this persons "concrats." "Using a weapon on unarmed violent attacker will not put you behind bars" but can save you or other lives in many states.You have studied applicable laws then study Castle Doctrine- Stand your Ground- Curtilage which is the Law in several states.

  • @newwata You and the demonstrator in this vid apparently think an unarmed 110 lb woman and a unarmed 200lb unarmed rapist is a fair fight... It is not, for the average woman it can never be but judging by your remarks you will condem her to living hell(if she lives)by denying here the physical tool (firearm)to defennd herself but you will also help intimidate her with fear as politicians and justice system of the judicial system to not effectively protect herself.

  • @nametakenuse You fool. I am not saying there are no just causes for using a weapon. And in this demo there is no 200 lb rapist or 110 lb woman. It's a trained man and a thug of equal size. I'm all for a wife beater taking a bullet to the head. But if you take the man's gun and shoot him in a situation that no longer calls for leathal force, that's your ass. Learning the amount of force rquired is as important as any block or strike. And someone apparantly forgot to teach you that lesson.

  • @newwata Well said and Congrats, someone knows what they are talking about. I seldom respond to folks on this video clip, however I agree with you. Most professionals experienced on rules of engagement understand. This was just an attention getter at a youth facility boys camp in central Ca.

  • The bad guy had to be black lol.

  • @MyBoogeryBooger I have seen a few others post the same comment, inferring as though we are somehow are profiling "Blacks." This is ridiculous. He had raised his hand and really wanted to try to beat me at this pistol demo. You can see afterwards we shook hands and hugged. He is a good young man. Truth Clarified, victor marx

  • @ATPMINISTRIES Yes, I'm sorry for the comment. It wasn't necessary...

  • @MyBoogeryBooger thanks for your correction. sincerely, vm

  • Really? A gang member with standard issue army boots? lol

  • @GenuineSoundsLtd Yes, He was incarcerated at a youth facility and that is what was issued to him

  • NO, I just want "Mr Joe Public" to know what is realistic, and what isn't.

    Martial arts is a POOR replacment for modern self-defence, and un-fortunatly most of these "teachers" teach full of shit moves that wind up endangering peopl instead of instructing them.

  • Another demo of a "pillar attack".

  • Sure...Just saying, you can spend thousands year after year on colored belts, and club due's, or you can take a 5 hour course, get a concealed carry license, and shoot the bastard in the ass when he tries to run off.

    Just consider it advice mate.

    I'll make you a bet though Karate kid, the next time somone asks for your wallet and they have a gun in your face, you'll come off that fucking wallet, or wind up with a bullet in your ass.

    Dumb ass...

  • @popceed You do know it's not self defense and becomes murder when you shoot someone in their back with a gun, right?

  • @popceed You mad bro?

  • FAKE, nobody sticks a gun in you FACE.

    this is why martial arts is bullshit.

  • He should've knocked the guys gun aside. Then shot him in the head with his own gun? That's what normal CCW/CPL people do.

    - Joe

  • Wow... That's fast!!!

  • I invented that move....

  • FAKE, nobody sticks a gun in you FACE.

    this is why martial arts is bullshit.

  • @popceed lol keep thinking that you have no clue. Go back to wearing tapout shirts.

  • @gift2uma Why? Do people from the "steets" have a quicker reaction time?

  • The best defense against a gun is to shoot first.

  • muy bonito y rapido pero hacia ese lado no se quita un arma, hace presion en el gatillo y se dispara

  • The assertion that someone "won't get close enough" is an extremely stupid one. The majority of armed robbers have no clue how to use a weapon, and this is not saying: BY ALL MEANS NECESSARY DISARM THEM. This is just to say that plenty of people do it -- even if it isn't a good idea.

  • @SocialDissimulation Yes...criminals do lack intelligence most of the time.

  • sorry about last post i blinked what happened

  • o blinked what happened

  • Just rob him with a hand grenade and see what happens. HA

  • He had to be black lol race fail

  • @WeSmashedUrRecord I have seen a few others post the same comment, inferring as though we are somehow are profiling "Blacks." This is ridiculous. He had raised his hand and really wanted to try to beat me at this pistol demo. You can see afterwards we shook hands and hugged. He is a good young man. Truth Clarified, victor marx

  • Sure the magazine is out, but there's still a bullet in the chamber. Negros don't just stand there super still waiting for you to take their gun. They jump around, wave it in the air, and fire off shots. It aint going to work like that in real life.

  • @4Firearms well, if you know to eject the magazine then if the guy fires the round in the chamber then it takes away the advantage. I myself would not risk something like trying to disarm someone with a semiautomatic pistol unless I knew he was a complete novice.

  • Try to do it in real it wont work believe me i have tried but i got enough time to run away !!

  • What the? How the? I wouldn't take the mag out, I would just aim at him and shoot him in the knee caps. Never walk again, bitch!

  • and if you don't get the gun, you die.

  • Your purpose seems wonderful, spiritually and socially. I would say that though this common disarm demo is exciting in a sense, it is a contrived setup. I can imagine SOME perpetrator getting close enough for you to reach his gun, but most wouldn't. As well, you bring the gun across your face in the reversal, and a live trigger is going to go off in most cases, given the perp having his finger on it. Bad news in the real situation.

  • @SeerTrulth Thanks for feedback ...watch again gun barrel does not cross defenders face. The video was not intended for instructional purposes

  • @ATPMINISTRIES The video says "for demo purpose only". DEMO OF A PIPE DREAM SITUATION. The so called "gang bangers" would have pulled the trigger the moment the barrel aligned with the head of the so called "self defense expert".

  • @longshot416 you sound very confident in your point of view. I can tell you appreciate firearms. I shot competitively for 9th comm Bn 1st Marine DIv Matches in Mid 80's. So we share an appreciation for long and short range. The last decade I have spent a hell of a lot of time with some of our nations most violent and chronic offenders ages 8-18 many representing every major gang. I would challenge your statement " the moment the barrel aligned." sincerely, "so called" SDE :-)

  • @ATPMINISTRIES It isn't during the reversal, it is during the initial grab. Head is not out of the way at the point of the snatch, but the assailant does have their finger on the trigger, for all you know squeezing, and like SeerTruth stated, that's more than likely very bad news bad news. I understand this a theory that needs incredible practice and enjoyed the video. Hopefully none of the viewers are ever put in that situation.

  • @jxsterlong The biggest critique is that my head does not move to get out of the line of fire. Here is the logic, the left hand comes up from the blind spot of the attacker holding the weapon, (IF) executed correctly the parry is the redirect which moves the line of fire from defenders head. 1. Best case scenario the strip works 2. most likely case weapon fires intentionally or accidentally and powered blast and percussion temporarily deafens defender but he has control of weapon.

  • @jxsterlong  3. worst case attacker keeps a 5 -8 ft distance and unloads a clip in defenders chest and head,

  • @ATPMINISTRIES yeah but some attackers want to instill fear so they get closer like that and they don't think they r against an expert like the guy on the left (defender)

  • @AntDX316 very true

  • Black man robbing white man. Go figure.

  • Well done. Love the hand speed. 

  • @AntiNubDevice You're just jealous you don't have it. =)

  • It is a shame that you cannot personally be with each person that you have influenced in a positive way. The children of the US are excessive by-products of their environment and media.

    Hope you can keep up what you are doing though!

  • umm i dont meen to offend but is there a reason why the blak guy was holding the gun or is it just instinct to pick him

  • Good stuff Victor, I used to teach this same gun technique before I retired, it's among the gun defense technuiques in my Century MA video (17) series.

    Very effective move, God bless!

  • Way cool. I want to learn that shit!

  • Why don't americans star living more "european"... like, without guns and lower crime rate. I mean damn, you guys shot each other all the time wtf?

  • @slopri Well, for starters, in Europe, and most other areas where gun bans have been put into effect, after the gun bans gun crime actually rised. The reason? Criminals still get guns because they don't care to get them legally. If we began to live like Europeans, we'd relinquish our best way of defending ourselves against these illegally armed criminals.

  • @slopri Considering that there are over 80 million gun owners in the US and over 250 million guns and that just recently a record 14 million guns were bought in one year by Americans, I think there is a relatively low number of firearms homicides.

    Now what Europeans would do with that level of personal freedom and responsibility I couldn't say but then.....can anyone?

  • I use to take guns away from people with Krav Magá and Aikido...Then I took a bullet to the knee.

  • your fast man but what if they were holding the gun harder with more strenght what situatuio would u be in?

  • @ rockstaer469 LLS!!! Exactly

  • That was a very nice trick...where's the self-defense lesson?

  • Blah

  • thats technic

  • Dam I blinked can you do that again?????

  • that was fast!

  • The guy at the right made me lmao!!! Thumbs Up if he made you laugh to.

  • That's seriously fast! I hit 4 over and over again. It gives you the Ooooo experience!

  • @ATPMINISTRIES I have no personal experience or insight into the mentality of the gang people like you have, so i take your word for it. However odd it stands in contrast to my practical thinking. I suppose everything they do is about intimidation and show of power.

  • That's definately not a superflous skill. Holy crap.

  • Comment removed

  • Lol amazing move, dont know if it would work in real life but it is a very cool thing to watch and nice to see there was no need for violence or aggression.

  • just another thing I want to add to the list of things I can do
