If you try that at full speed you will die every time. The shooter can always pull the trigger faster than you can knock the gun out of the way. Not even the Black Belts could get clear of the weapon. They all died. Shotgun blast to the kidney area...Forget about it dead guy. Give them your wallet and live to fight another day.

what if the gunman is 6'4 and built like a shithouse

[notfunny333]

@tech54delta Yea but this is like a last resort type thing. Not something to just do first. Like if he is going to kill you then you use this as last resort.

[wildernes84]

What if its a sawn-off? Like the barrel is cut down

[TheMazzeron]

I dont get why everyone is complaining...

this is one of many possible situations, and you learn how you could possibly get out of it, no one said that you should do that.

By the way, everyone who posts a comment like "this doesn´t work" must have been thinking it could work somehow, who would watch it otherwise...

In my oppinion, this would be more or less safe to do if your opponent doesn´t expect this, but even if you manage to turn his rifle away from you, you could hurt others

[RaphaelRelic]

After turning, you'll hear his boomstick go off and voila, a nice little potroast of kidney and abs.

[tjwfb88]

well if he's watched all of your videos, you'd want your finger on the trigger before he jackie chans your gun away

lets be serious, bang your dead that defensive manuever doesn't work. And if you resort to youtube to figure out how to best train yourself, and dont actually get away from the computer, dead.

and MOST cases where there's a shotgun to your back, you aren't going to have anyone around to instruct to call 911, who isn't already trying to kill you

[iBeansOnToasTi]

"This will cause him to bend over". Yeah, because you would like that.

But if your back is turned, how do you know he's got a rifle or shotgun and not a handgun?

[jaikala]

Please don't play with live guns, kids. You'll wind up with "pebblets" in your ass.

There are some serious flaws in this technique. When you first initiate this technique the shooter has 3 options that he can perform easily. 1. shoot you. 2. step back and pull away at 0:36 and shoot you. 3. combination, also at 0:36 pull away, butt stroke you, and then of course shoot you. Best advice I can give any one. Dont fight an armed suspect with your bare hands unless you know with out a doubt that you are going to die. In that case give em hell.

If I gained control of the gun without a hole through my back I would step away. Maybe it should be considered he might not politely lay still for you and he's probably much less likely to sweep your leg if you are 5 feet away. Giving him what he wants might be a good idea.
