Human Weapon: Krav Maga - Pistol Disarm

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SUBSCRIBE!




Literally translated as close combat or contact combat, Krav Maga is one of the most lethally effective hand-to-hand combat techniques in the world. It was developed by Imi Lichtenfeld, a Czech-born former heavyweight boxing champion trained in self-defense tactics by his father, a police officer. In 1940, facing Nazi persecution, Lichtenfeld was forced to emigrate to what was then Palestine (now Israel). After the formation of an Israeli state in 1948, he was asked to develop self-defense and hand-to-hand combat techniques for the elite units of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

Over the next two decades, Lichtenfeld trained IDF fighters in what would become the Krav Maga system, a combat style featuring elements of boxing, judo, and jujitsu as well as stick- and knife-fighting techniques. After leaving the army, Lichtenfeld began teaching the system to civilians, and in 1978 he and some of his students founded the International Krav Maga Federation, a nonprofit organization aimed at promoting teaching of the fighting system in Israel and around the world. By the time Lichtenfeld died in 1998, Krav Magas popularity had spread among law enforcement and security officers, as well as civilians of all ages, both male and female, across Europe and the United States.

Due to Israels near-constant state of conflict with its neighbors, Krav Maga has continually been tested and refined over the years through actual combat situations. In Krav Maga training, the same lethal techniques developed on the battlefields of the Middle East are adapted for ordinary people who might face an attack or other aggressive encounter and need to defend themselves. Unlike many other martial arts, Krav Maga lacks a strict system of rules—a fighter is trained to use his or her fists, elbows, or shins in any way he can to inflict enough pain to break free from an opponent and, if necessary, disarm him. Blows are aimed at the opponents vulnerable areas, including his eyes, stomach, throat, and groin, in order to make the most impact. A crucial defensive technique of Krav Maga is to keep the body constantly moving, using the arms to deflect blows from all angles. The object is to be able to face multiple opponents from all sides, wielding multiple weapons, including knives, pistols, and even assault rifles.

Despite this no-holds-barred approach to self-defense, Krav Maga training centers endorse a system of values including personal integrity, non-violence, good citizenship, and humility. Its reputation as an excellent cardiovascular exercise has secured Krav Magas small but growing cult status, and it is now studied by some 10,000 people around the world.

@MrNathion The handgun was invented as a close range weapon, using it at long ranges is just stupid.

So what happens when you miss that wrist grab due to adrenaline, fear and lack of training? You think he'll be like, "kay nice try, but seriously give me your money" No he'll probably be pissed and end up shooting you. So always analyze the situation before acting. If the aggressor doesnt seem like he intends to shoot, then do as he says and you live another day. But if he seems more of the type that would shoot you and still sleep well at night, and looks like he'll shoot anyways, then do it.

when you face a guy with a gun, the best move you can do is to run like a bitch yelling... hopefully Batman will show up.

@elboricua123 when you go through the krav training half of it is recognizing viable life or death situations where these extreme techniques are necessary and after i learned to do this manuever a hundred times even at the point of collapse from exhaustion you can usually get a good enough grip to control the gun but your exactly right about the attack second observe first

Judos are trust throws.

Krav Maga is a bit of everything.What you saw above is basically Jiu Jitsu Move.We do boxing for punches,muay thai for kicking,jiu itsu wrist lock/disarm and judo for hip throws.
