  • looks like last tango in beijing

  • I had to stop it at 1:49.Why why why do so called instructors continue with these control techniques.Once the gun is gone and the person is on the floor just kick or stomp the shit out of them.Then run.

  • Why is he showing this on a girl? That's not much of a gentleman...

  • best in this kinda stuff is no doubt still krav maga, chinnese application is pretty complex still ok though.

  • this is actually gonna work if the guy with a gun is tryin to threaten you in some way....really good technique

  • if i have a weapon and you dont why would i have that weapon out there were you had a chance of even getting close to it.

  • Guys, this technique does not work. I was walking down the street yesterday, and a random guy tried to kill me, he had a glock 19, so I thought about trying this technique. Unfortunately, he was faster than me and pulled the trigger. Now I'm in heaven writing this comment. jk lol it's great technique XD

  • @siasiasiad, ENGRLISH?

  • @ZombiesFIVE, Then your in real trouble and not Hollywood trouble. ;)

  • Shitty technique BTW and I'd love to see how that works on a hammerless firearm dipshit.

  • with a knife or gun that's just the signal for RUN, unless you got a bigger gun or chainsaw

  • this is the most complicated disarming move i've ever seen, I'd get shot trying this. Lets hope all attackers shoot right-handed and carry pistol with external hammers.

  • @Fluke72459 Most people are right handed buddy boy. Come back from fantasy land. Ive met like 2 other people my whole life who were left handed like me.

  • @Mider999 That does not address my concerns in any way.

  • and pls remember, your enemey is not a statue

  • I wouldn't attempt to fire a gun I hadn't either inspected or seen working. That would be foolish.

  • Remember I was here.Thai

  • Instead of all that shit , run to the left and tackle the fuck out of him , grab the gun and take his head off......

  • @anihilatore I think you'll get shot doing that

  • instead of twisting his arm when you pivot your body, i would just elbow his head and knock him the fuck out

  • I used to always watch these in fast motion but I always thought that when u grab the gun ur hand wud mess up badly when he inevitably fires. Then u wud be screaming in pain and then beaten up. And now I know that u push back the hammer, I doubt that in the in real speed I would be able to successfully comfortably push back a small piece of metal.

  • If u don't toss the gun away hold it up to his head and threaten him :D

  • @revick Or hit him with it...

  • pan tu es mort que de la theorie en reel c sest autre chose

  • =/ I'm looking for an actual usefull video on how to self-defend myself from an armed oponent, but so far the 3 vids I've seen show the same flaw on their technique:

    Grabing the gun by the slide, and assuming the atacker is 1-handed.

    I wish there were any vids that show how to actually disarm a perp, without grabing the gun by the slide, and taking care of both hands simultaneously.

    THAT'S the kind of information that can save lives.

    this one only looks cool, but is not very usefull.

  • When its a two handed grab on the weapon its done similar but the right hand would go between the hands holding the gun as the left hand is on the gun (think a karate x-block position). Then the right hand pulls back and downward on the wrists and the left hand applies the twisting force away from you striping the gun out of their hands.

    Hope that helps.

  • Aikido

  • @Shakduhn Since when does a mugger use two hands? There not policemen or trained you know. Everytime i hear a comment like this i kinda roll my eyes. Oh he can block the kick to the groin he can block a round house kick thats all crap most people in the street are just wild animals and end up fighting carelessly and sadly thats why Kimbo Slice does so badly in an MMA ring cause its so hard to move from a street fighter only mentality to the ring were you use grappling

  • @Mider999 If the guy can block this and block that then he must be a trained fighter and its gonna become a fight and you better have good techinque to take him down. If you think you know better disarms then why dont you invent them. The same types of disarms with a few variations are used by the Isreal commando's and for sure they have to make sure it works especially since they have to fight so much.

  • @Mider999 u're forgetting one very important detail, most muggers don't just point their guns foward like that, they keep them at waist level, concealed, the way that gunman was holding his gun would call too much attention.

    when the arm is folded and the gun is held near your waist, is near imposible to put this to use.

    besides during the entire technique you're assuming that your foe would not use his other hand, or his feet, wich is the type of mistake that can cost your life

  • @Shakduhn Its only one gun disarm from this school though. Anyway if i was in L.A. learning martial arts I would probably wanna train with someone like Paul Vunak or Dan Inosanto they were in the army i believe. Vunak still teaches the Navy Seals doesnt he? There's students of Dennis Hanover there also they teach Krav Maga. Its better to just give your cash up the disarm is the last resort. You can find better disarms in Krav Maga that were thought up for the army

  • @Shakduhn I dont like Jim Wagner because he has so many fraud complaints im not sure if there real or not but Black Belt magazine did toss his article out. He said that today martial arts are good for hand to hand if there proper arts but you dont need to learn how to defend against a spear or arrow you gotta learn how to defend against a freaking gun or baseball bat. I think like i said above Inosanto teaches gun disarms didnt Denzel Washington use those techinques in Book Of Eli

  • @Shakduhn There's alot more to self defense then just hurting your opponent. If you hear from guys like Marc Macyoung he'll tell you that the scenario may be a psycho hiding iwth a shotgun. There are ways to avoid the fight. Like someone who's arguing with someone else is basically perhaps asking to get hurt especially if there smaller. There has to be some psychology in self defense and alot of teaches wont teach you that.

  • @Mider999 my main point of concern in this paticular thecnique is how it all starts by holding the gun by the slide.

    trained combatants are taugth to keep their cool during combat, but most untrained attackers will often panic when their victim tries to disarm them and WILL shoot the moment you make a sudden move.

    if they open fire while your hand is on the slide, it doesn't matter if you redirect the weapon in another direction, you WILL recieve heavy lacerations on your hand

  • @Mider999 after recieving a heavy laceration on your hand, the pain is severe enough to incapacitate YOU rather than your oponent, giving him or her a high advantage to either recover their weapon, or otherwise subdue you.

    a technicque with such a high-risk of self-injury to yourself is hardly something I'd call effective

  • @Shakduhn sorry, but, how is one getting a laceration by doing this?

  • just hope they use one hand if someone attacks u wit a gun.

  • most ppl who use sidearms use two hands...not not one..

  • If I was in that situation, I wouldn't need martial arts, the gunman would be quickly disarmed by the smell of the shit that would fill my trousers the instant I felt the slightest hint of danger.

  • You cannot grab an auto pistol with your hand! The slide moves too fast, too much pressure, heat, and the perp will be pulling the weapon striaght back at the time. They will discharge the waepon out of pure shock. This techinque would only work on a revovler. As martial artists, we owe it to our students to practice these techniques with paintball or airsoft type guns. It might work in the dojo, but does it work at full speed with semi-live guns?

  • good point, never thought of that.

  • true i thought of that and also what if the gunman is lefthanded why would you move to the left i mean wouldnt that just benfit him ?

  • apparently u can because ive seen it done, the gun will fire only one time and after that the force of your grip will usually be more then enough to jam the gun redering it damn near harmless

  • @mrdouglasrm5

    Assuming that you have removed your vital targets from their line of fire, grabbing the slide will most likely result in you having a cut up hand, and them having a gun that is jammed. Not a great trade, but it does beat getting shot.

    That said, I have to agree completely with the use of airsoft guns in training.

  • Whatever you have to use to preserve your life is important to use instead of being killed by a gun man. But the only thing you have to be able to demonstrate is courageousness for doing that kind of technique..

  • I think that grabbing with the right hand telegraphs the defense in an impractical way. an assailant would see the defense and pull the trigger before you can get yourself off the line of fire. better to slide left and block/grab the gun with the left hand and employ the technique which looks similar to Kotegaeshi in Aikido. that way you're always offline, and the gun is pointing either toward the sky or back in their face. this looks like a very problematic technique in a practical scenario

  • Looks great in the movies in real life its bullshit.

  • this would only work if the gun is not hammerless

  • This was good until people started watching karate movies not to mention this isn't the 80's im from detroit its curtains cats shoot you from a far

  • i don t understand the technique. i think i will stay with the basic krav technique :)

  • @dreamers24 Beign shot :)

  • funny how in mma, this move won't work, and not to mention REAL gun owners even criminals, hold the gun with two hand and usually don't have a gun three inches from your face, even then, it's a 50/50. this could get people killed. carry mace, take him down, spray a load down his throat and fucking RUN morons! Geez....

  • The guy has a Glock ... no external hammer to grab ... BANG! You are dead.

  • Seems a bit risky turning your back to your opponent like that.

  • The technique takes long and is risky. You could get your head blown off if he moves the gun with you.

  • Excellent video

  • honestly one I had the gun I'd just shoot his ass but good tactics.

  • This is a really good technique - thank you ^_^

    The instructions were nicely done too - easy to learn from. :) 5 stars from me...

  • great video, I just started training this system. Awesome, thanks for uploading

  • Nice, well done

  • Great video my friend. post some more! ^_^

  • lol who wud wanna toss the gun lol ill take it wudnt u

  • @jimron924

    Tossing the gun is a pretty good option unless you are very familiar with the particular weapon in question. Different guns have different safeties and it takes time to figure a new one out. Also. this type of disarm often leads to jammed weapons (and cut up fingers) and clearing a jam takes time. It is generally a bad idea to take time out of a fight when you have the upper hand.

  • Using the near hand (left) seems like a more likely entrance. You could get the same effect. I don't think I'd want to bother going for the hammer or the gun when moving the wrist will change the aim even more, with less chance of getting hit with a cycling slide. There are several guns on the market now that have no exposed hammer. As for running, it may not always be an option. If the attacker is more interested in raping your wife or killing you, what are you gonna do?

  • This vid made me sOOoOoOo wet LOL 7

  • good defance

  • 1:53 = gay

  • Trust you.

    We see what we want to see.

  • if your that close your pretty much fucked regardless, and if you come up behind him, open palm smack the bitch in the ear then punch him in the throat and uppercut his nose. no guy with a gun will do shit after that beating.

  • WOW! So fast! this looks like it would really work. great video. I hope to see more.

  • Great video my friend. Much respect to ya!

  • RETARD!! This is crap!!!! Besides only Black Gangbangers and dumbasses would hold a gun with only one hand. And Gangbangers can't shoot anyway, they are too stupid. All that shit goes out the window when someone points a gun at you, let alone shoots at you.

  • i completely agree. i am a martial artist who has practiced gun defense. when i was held up at gunpoint i had to make desicion...i can try to disarm this guy or just give him the 14 dollars in my pocket...i decided the $150 a month tuition was not worth my life and gave him the cash. even the most trained martial artist will shit their pants when it comes to it.

  • The bigger problem is that people are learning the technique, they should be learning the SKILL. Eg. The technique is disarming the gun but the skill is reacting to the situation. Bruce Lee talks about how many people want to learn the technique but technique without skill is useless. In krav maga they put u under that sort of pressure and fear. This skill vs technique dilemma applies to all learned things. In magic people wanna learn the trick but they dont have the skill ete etc

  • that was awesome now i can possibly defend my self against someone with a gun . also i live in detroit michigan which is a bad area

  • Because people DO try to shoot you. We live in a world where, when kids get pissed, you have them bringing guns to school and shooting people. In real life, people don't always want to shoot first if they can't get what they want right away. This is a general rule and doesn't apply to everyone, but its true.

    Also, some people CAN move faster than the person can respond to shoot. Wouldn't you rather know that you have a defense against that situation than knowing that you don't?

  • How freak'in jerky is that? I luv it! But my Dad has a better technique.....stay tuned for restful skimmers video!!!!!

  • if hes waving the gun all over the place, how the fuck you gonna grab the gun etc what if hes 10 yards and pointing the gun. this is bullshit. what if the guy is holding the gun at the waist? there are so many anomilies..if someone points the gun, just fucking give him what he wants and go home alive.

  • if hes waving the gun all over the place, then he's not even aiming at u, and who the hell would do that?

    these techniques r just for specific conditions for someone who has no alternate choice, e.g. a policeman against an armed criminal.

    Nothing is 100%, but at least you're giving yourself a chance.

  • ok hititandguitit, id like to see you try that and then get your fucking ass beaten.

  • now THAT i wud pay big money to see :)

  • wow, yeah that some good shit

  • wow, yeah that some good shit

  • Dodge left then swift kick to balls. No shame in dirty fighting when your life is on the life. Too many movements to remember. Stamp on their feet.

  • this is straight up serious. u can make somebodys shoulder touch theyre neck if you do it hard enough after that theyre need soft tissue reconstruction.

  • This is to complicated to pull off under stress. People dont seem to factor in the fear factor. In times like this fine motor functions fail you. Easier to go with something simpler and less wasted movement. Way to much motion. It's pretty and complicated but those things get you killed in tense situations. All this is is a Hollywood technique: flashy but not practical.

  • Chinese police is one of the most effective forces on earth, this is not stunt shit, this is real.

  • dude asians r good and if u practice u can get blocked from a gun

    stupid it works my mom did it she survived from a bank robbery

  • this is noob shit, watch jim wagner or bas rutten, learn mma, this is seriously shit and i hope none believes this crap

  • you cannot grab a gun in real life! there is no faster move than pulling the trigger!

  • At that range? Sure there is. Try it yourself with a airgun/softgun or something. You would be amazed how easy it is. The real problem comes after you have gotten out of the line of fire. But still. A knife is way more dangerous at that range than a gun is. Anyway, nobody who knows what they're doing would hold their gun so close to you.

  • You are right. It depend from who is using gun. If is some moron than a kid can disarm him.

  • When facing somebody who is committed to shooting and isnt mentally retarded, you need to have lightning quick reflexes or catch them off guard to have a chance at not getting shot.

    On the subject of knifes, cutting somebody can be quite difficult. It takes a decent amount of force to penetrate somebody and cause damage (Depending on what type of clothing you are wearing and what type of knife the attacker is using). Not everybody is trained on how to effectively use a knife either.

  • Cutting somebody can indeed be difficult, that's why people stabbs. Stabbs do a lot more damage than cuts. You should also know that people who gets stabbed/cut with on the streets don't understand what have happened before they see all the blood. anybody understands that if a guy wears a thick leather jacket, you stabb the thigh or gut the neck. Both knife and gun defence require very fast reflexes. No doubt about that. But a gun is more visible than a knife is. Unless you're Rambo. I'm Rambo=)

  • There is one thing that my teacher once said... (this second to giving your wallet up/run away and all that)

    If they point a gun at you means they don't want to shoot you. If they wanted to shoot you they would have done it already. The pointing means they hesitate, and means you have a chance and the ball is in your court.

  • Not wanting to shoot you doesn't mean they won't shoot you.

    Trying to avoid a murder charge if you don't resist doesn't mean they won't risk a murder charge if you do.

    And their trigger fingers can move a lot faster than anything you can move.

    The guys with the guns in these vids are allowing themselves be taken down, not trying to pull the triggers.

    And anyway, if you think they don't want to shoot you, why do something that might change their minds?

  • i don't get what you are saying sorry..

  • Of course. Like I said in my first sentence, attempting the grab the gun is pretty far down the list. You give up your wallet, you run, you negotiate, you beg, then MAYBE think about grabbing it. Just saying: a 10% chance of success is better than resigning yourself to die; also that when someone points a gun and doesn't shoot right away, it means it is time for you to make a decision on what to do next.

  • Here in Memphis Tennessee they will shoot a person for fun and I'm not exaggerating.

    So I agree.

    I believe they would shoot me.

    So I would probably go for the distraction and then the gun.

  • I should clarify something.

    I would go for the distraction, then the wrist of the hand holding the gun, then the groin or the foot or the shin and then the gun.

  • fingers move faster but they have to react to your movement and if you move precisely they cannot react fast enough to shoot you try it with an airsoft gun. Its not speed against speed it's reaction against movement

  • damn... you are so stupid

    u kno a shit about real life

  • ya but the enemy gets stunned stupid

  • THIS is stupid the guy didnt use his other hand by the time this instructor is dead

  • RAkra... hmmm... the guy ddnt use the other hand coz if he tried to, the instructor would snap his hands and break it... the problem here is that ur just looking at it... u dont know wat the guy with the gun s experiencng.. its not just grabbing... hes applying Joint and bone manipulation...

    for u to know that... try practicing aikido/jujutsu(jujitsu) for u to know.... i know it hurts alot... coz i do aikido...

    for all u know.. the instructor is already breaking that guys hand..

  • man.... feeling the pressure on your hand you can´t use anything

  • Doesn't that depend on who is holding the gun? You might risk it on a little old lady firing at the paper boy with her pearl handled pistol, or a suicidal teenager with barely the energy to hold a handgun to his head.

  • Is it stating the obvious that before you consider snatching handguns away from folks you got to know how they work? I can take the wooden dummy gun, but if I got a real one I'd have to stand screaming like a ninny until someone came to put the safety on and unload it for me. My NYRes is to take all the firearm safety classes I can find. The more you hate guns, the more you got to know them. Otherwise, the guy who waves one has all the power.

  • Oh my god.. If you put your finger on the hammer of a gun as long as the hammer isnt cocked back it cant fire and if the gun has a slide it only slides because the hammer already hit the bullet and its the force moving the slide.

  • This is a retarded technique. A lot of wasted movement....and what about putting your thumb in the hammer? What if it's an automatic?

    It's way too complicated and would never work. There are simple techniques that are much more effective.

    This one is a joke...

  • 2/3rds of street robberies occur with a revolver (or any handgun for that matter)most of which have a hammer...

  • If its just a robbery, the best thing to do is give the guy your wallet...not try to take the gun away....

    And if you do take it away, these techniques on the video contain a lot of wasted movement. He grabs the gun in the wrong direction too..

    If you grab it the other way, you can break the guys finger in the trigger guard...

  • Not retarded. What's retarded is waving a handgun around with one hand, for the psychological impact on naive people. Someone relying on a handgun in that way is going to lose it fast and go down easy.

  • if u put ur finger on the hammer ud be a silly idiot, if the giuy pulls the trigger the slide would smack back and break your finger and ud look a twat.

  • this is because this techniquee was made in 120 b.c., when china invented the first gun

  • That looks like it would take a lot of practice. Check out the haganah method.

  • Hodjie doesn't have a pistol. Hodjie has a bomb belt. Disarm that! AHHHHHH!

  • kool, but if i tried this, i would proably be shot in the prosess of taking the gun away. lol

  • LOL...

  • thats why you need to train alot

  • nice moves, if he is holding a fuckin ice cream cone. he couldnt pull that gun from me no matter how hard he tried. i wouldnt be stupid enough to point it straight out like that to begin with. Self defense 101, keep your gun at your side so it cant be taken away. Who the hell is going to stand still while this guy is trying to disarm you...not a BG and not me! 2 in his chest the minute he reaches for it!

  • well maybe this could work if you distract yourself for an instant, imagine that youre robbing a bank or something like that, you have to wath out for everyone and everywhere

  • i guess if there was something going on and the BG would be distracted, it is a good technique. Your point makes sense but usually a BG wouldnt attempt to rob you at gun point when there are other people or things around. Your best defense is pretend to reach for your wallet and draw your CCW and put 2 in his gut and run.

  • hahaha that should work best hahaha

  • cool but risky

  • this is pretty cool but they had a better way to do this on the show Human Weapon

  • Yes, it is very risky, especially if you cannot act fast enough, or the dude with the gun is fast and pulls the trigger

  • as all disarming techniques

  • knowing this is better than knowing nothing.

  • well it's a good way but it needs some practice

  • only on movies of jacki chan

  • I know a better way from mgs3.

    (be4 volgin catchs you)

  • That's great if the guy is right on top of you and you're physically fit and fast.  I still think the best defense is having a gun. If you are being mugged, turn your strong side away from the attacker to block his view and reach back as if to get your wallet. Hold your weak hand up and out in front of you as a distraction. Instead of handing over the wallet, you draw your gun and put a few in his chest.

  • awsum...

  • I'll tell you ...never react in a situation like that.hehehehehhe

  • OK THE FIRST THING YOU NEED TO DO IN THIS SITUATION IS GET WRIST CONTROL..THIS GUY IS A MUGGER AND HE WANTS YOUR MONEY TO BUY CRACK.. GET WRIST CONTROL THEN... PULL OUT YOUR GUN...HE IS SCARED NOW...HE IS SCARED THAT YOUR GOING TO SHOOT HIM IN THE HEAD end of scenario

  • lol

  • it works..if u would like private lessons i teach on the weekends for 11 easy payments of only 49.95 ;)

  • LOL your mugger is at the trunk of your car. She is mugging you with her bound hands!

  • Comment removed

  • lol

  • I hate "false" defense vids... a simple turn of the body, a step forward, ANYTHING besides standing still would screw up this move (let alone the "attacker" was offering no resistance and the thumb is too weak to keep the hammer down)

  • This is bullshit..It wont work

  • Why dont you try it.

  • best self defence ..buy a gun!!!

  • I AGREE WITH PRITHWIN

  • No one will get that close to you with a gun? Actually a lot of armed robbers get that close so that it would be easier to shoot the person if the person decides to run away.

  • This is just one of several ways to disarm someone with a gun. Obviously if the person with the gun is far away this won't work nor if the gun doesn't have an external hammer will this work. Nor if the person has an oozie. This technique is specifically geared to disarm that particular gun if the gunman is close distance to you.

  • what if i have a gun in both hands?

  • hmm...

  • show him your boobs

  • Er, what if you have a Y chromosome?

  • then your fucked

  • OR... hope hes gay

  • ..what?!? lol

  • Erm, a knife from 21 feet away can still get to a gun,

  • Or Som'n like that...

  • Bwahahahahaha! someone holding a gun will NOT get that close to you...! he'l be som maybe 19 feet away from you.

  • This would not work with a Glock pistol because it has an internal hammer.Martial arts is highly over rated and only the truely best can stand up against an armed attacker but if the gun is a glock or they are too far of reach they are helpless.A knife or baseball bat is more realistic and easier to disarm than a gun but I would rather shoot back instead of risking it big time trying to disarm a thug with fancy martial arts moves.

  • then you prolly' have to just get the gun away from you fast, then use your strong hand, to attack, and dissarm

  • You'll get someone killed teaching this technique. Moving off line without changing the distance is a big problem. With a finger on the trigger, the attacker has only to follow your movement and shoot. Grabbing the gun is extremely risky. Also, if a shot goes off you'll get burned grabbing it that way.

  • U wouldnt get that close to me motherfucker

  • shoot from the hip

  • bombard boy and hardrockfan911... wouldn't you rather deal with the attacker (since you would have ability) than let you and the bystander get shot? You're suggesting that you just stand there and get shot so the guy who might be somewhere behind you is ok?

  • I tried this on my 3 year old. It really works.

  • ^^^ hahahaha lmao

  • haha i agree with bombard boy

  • bombardboy,

    Isn't that all the more reason to deal with the attacker quickly?

  • what if there r innocent civilians around u? if u dodge left, it might kill the person behind u

  • sucks for da civilians doesnt it

  • fuck the civils save ur ass

  • i mean how many movies hav u seen ppl care bout civilians, they're prtty much just in the scene to die lol
