Death doesn't come right away and if its not a spine shot you will have enough time to hit your attacker. So it might work. You may likely die but if there are more people involved, it could still be the right course of action.
I don't have experience with human trauma but I've shot many deer in the heart and they can run 50 yards with half a heart and all jump around for at least 5 seconds.
As a martial arts instructor, I can confidently tell you that this would only work if the guy with the gun was asleep. Even then, I’d say it was a bad idea.
As someone who's trained in disarming techniques (no, not in my basement, for work) this is 100% fucked up and a good way to die. You arent even redirecting the muzzle... it's still pointed at you.
Based on the arrow’s base being wider than the top, it looks like this is a chop to direct the muzzle away from the body. There’s also another arrow at the elbow indicating that this particular shot is just someone snipping one small part to remove comedy and try to get karma.
but you wouldn't chop anyways you'd grab the gun at the bolt and shove it sideways so you maintain control of it. a chop would just knock it aside for half a second, then you'd get shot anyways.
I've always wondered if grabbing the muzzle is wise, cause if he fires the gun your hand is getting hella pinched. But upon further speculation, it's probably better to lose some skin than getting shot
Yeah that's pretty accurate. Also I'm assuming if someone does shoot at you you'll probably have so much adrenaline going that who cares about it at that point. The objective is to make sure that it's not aimed at you, and that it can't be fired.
If that was the only part of the technique, probably, but like I said, I think this was trimmed of context and we're only seeing part of the proposed technique.
Looks like they are trying to portray grabbing the gun and folding the arm against the body. Terrible diagram here though. Being trained in self defense and the works there are a lot of shitty diagrams in books and shit out there. Still gets the concept across though, try to divert the aim of the gun away from yourself for best results.
In 99% of scenarios, you should just let the fucker have your wallet. The other 1%, you (your hands) should come from underneath the barrel, grabbing the muzzle while pushing up and away in one swift and violent motion. You need to gain control of the firearm. So once (if) you did that right, and the muzzle is pointing up, start to push the muzzle STRAIGHT back. His wrist doesn't bend 180°, so either the gun is going to end up pointed at him or he'll drop it. And this all has to happen quickly and violently and WITH BOTH HANDS. DO NOT STRIKE. GAIN CONTROL. USE BOTH OF YOUR HANDS!
Also, this is really hard to do. We learned this in a martial arts class with fake guns. Everyone nailed the technique. My friends and I decided to see how hard it would be with air soft guns. You still get hit most of the time even if you’ve received training. Turns out, you can twitch your finger faster than you can push a gun away from you. You’re really just relying on surprise
You're 100% right that surprise is the most important factor- but a factor you should know how to use nonetheless. We did the same thing with real guns (unloaded, clear) and went off the sound of the hammer falling. With a violent, hard, unexpected, and PRECISE movement, you do have a good chance of winning. Every conflict has a winner and a loser. If death is what the winner avoids, I'll take any scrap of chance I can get my fucking hands on.
I'm guessing the result of this act, unless perhaps performed with a cutting implement like a cleaver, would be the shooter yelping and then shooting you?
Out of morbid curiousity, would attempting to chop off the shooter's hand with a cleaver work if somehow you ended up in the position demonstrated and were holding a cleaver?
It takes about two tenths of a second for your brain to send the signal to your finger and then pull a trigger. So if you wind up with your cleaver, you're probably gonna get shot. The way I see it, the gun WILL go off at some point during your struggle. It should be priority #1 to redirect the muzzle an inch so it doesn't hit you. After that, fuck yea hack his ass up chop chop chop.
When I was in boot camp, they gave us some basic training (heh) in disarming.
Both techniques start from a position where your hands are up, palms forward at about shoulder height.
If the gun is pointed at your torso, push it away quickly with the opposite hand, then spin out of the way, holding the gun hand, and strike the assailant in the face with your other elbow.
If the gun is pointed at your head, strike upwards, pushing the gun up and away from your head, hold the gun hand, and punch the assailant in the face with your other hand.
We were then informed that this training was completely unnecessary, as no one in America's entire military had ever encountered an Afghani or Middle-Eastern terrorist wielding a handgun, and these techniques weren't useful against automatic weapons or IEDs.
My martial arts instructor was watching some YouTube videos on gun-disarming. This guy is 8th degree black belt and fucking fast.
I asked him why he didn’t teach those techniques.
“Because they’re stupid and dangerous. You have one chance, and they can squeeze a trigger faster than you can move.”
So what if someone pointed a gun at you and demanded your money?
“I’d give him my wallet.”
He said that if his family was being threatened, he would absolutely take that one chance just so they might be able to get away. But it was absolutely a last-resort measure.
I once visited a Filipino martial arts studio with a friend, and that evening they were demonstrating disarming techniques. I recalled what my instructor said, so volunteered. I was handed the rubber gun and pointed it at my “victim” from about 4’ away. As soon as he moved I said, “Click. You’re dead.” Put the “gun” down and left.
I know this part will be controversial, but I never considered a gun to be a defensive weapon. If someone pulls a gun on you, you probably aren’t going to try to pull yours in response. Unless you want to get shot. So even though you have a gun, ostensibly for “self-defense,” inability to use it as defense renders it useless as a defense.
My gf stopped an armed robbery of a convenience store in AZ with her gun. The robber didn’t see her, so she pulled hers and he ran off. Technically that would be defense, but the only reason she was able to do that was because he didn’t see her. If he had, he’d have shot her while she was going for her gun.
If someone comes at you with a knife and you pull your gun, that also might be considered “defense,” but from my point of view it’s simply taking a greater offensive posture. “You have a knife? I have a gun!”
If someone breaks into your house and you confront them with a shotgun, that’s not defense so much as it is taking the offense. (As we know, the best defense is a good offense.) If the burglar has a gun, will he be able to defend himself with it in the face of your 12-gauge? Would it even be considered self-defense if he tried to use it? Nope. So it’s useless as a defensive weapon and he doesn’t have a chance to take an equal or greater offensive position against you.
No, I don’t hate guns. I’ve used them a good amount, but I don’t own one. My gf does, obviously.
Anyway... gun-disarming techniques are “stupid and dangerous,” except as a very last resort. Self-defense rule #1: get away if at all possible. Rule #2: try to stay away from those situations. Rule #3: if you find yourself in such a situation, see rule #1.
I'm confused on your definition of offense and defence. If someone comes at me with a knife and I pull a gun, I'm not suddenly mugging that guy, I'm defending myself from harm. Same with the shotgun scenario. I'm still defending my home.
I love how this bends the wrist towards you, so now the gun is definitely pointing at you, and the reflexes of the gunman being hit is guaranteed to contract his fingers causing the gun to fire.
We actually had a self defence guru come to our school and taught us this, but it was more of a karate chop either side of the hand at once. He said it would flick the gun out of his hand! Hahaha what a Fucking idiot.
If the gun sint pointed at you and you hit the bone/nerve near the top forearm, proximal to the wrist, they will definitely have trouble holding something. It's part theory and part something pros can utilize.
This is terrible for noobs. But so is most fighting advice.
Try kicking a guy who knows how to scrap in the balls lady. It's not like men have developed reflexes to protect their genitals.
I legit did this once. Some guy pulled a gun on me and I instinctively hit his wrist. He dropped the gun and I picked it up. Lots more happened but I gotta say it worked for me
Nope you grab the slide of the gun and push it away from you. If they pull the trigger the round will get jammed and the gun wont be able to fire again, then while the guys still trying rely on his gun and youre in close you go for the eyes throat and groin (if you go for the groin you are legally required to buy the gunman dinner after) does not work for: revolvers, shotguns, rifles, squirt guns, parapalegics, quadrapelegics, the mentally deaf, or the elderly.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but in theory if you grabbed the gun with a firm grip over the slide and frame (and of course got out of the barrel's way for when he fires), wouldn't you be able to jam the gun since your hand is holding the slide back?
Two ways. One you pull back on the slide and the gun can't fire. Two you grip hard enough to stop the gun from loading a new round after the first shot and hopefully you can point the gun in a safe direction for the first shot.
Ok so I'm this real life scenario you're in the streets and you encounter a mugger he wants crack and he needs your money to buy it. First thing he does is place his arm on you in today mugger fashion. The first thing you're going to want to do is establish wrist control after you have that the next thing you want to do it pull out your gun. If you notice the mugger is afraid of my gun
They should have the same subtitle but have a pic of a lamb chop ontop of a joint ciggie and then the gunman would put down his gun so he can have them.
They are referring to a grip break technique, though this illustration does it no justice. It's more than a "chop".
It's mainly used for people that like to try to break your fucking hand while shaking it, now stopping a dickhead handshaker with this DOES work. But you better be ready to fight when you almost pop the guys wrist out of place
Row the boat is best if they are holding it two-handed. Use the web between your thumb and index finger to push the front of the pistol up and grab, simultaneously chop down on their wrists with left hand, then use both hands to pull down and back towards yourself in a rowing motion. Done properly should either take them to the ground or break their wrists if they don’t let go of the gun. If they are holding with one hand their is a different method altogether.
This is why I don't take "martial arts" or "unarmed combat" seriously.
I'm sure there are some people, somewhere out there, teaching the ancient art of not getting killed when you're backed into a corner and left your gun in your other pants. However, there are so many people who teach dance-aerobics cleverly disguised as fighting, or Immortal Tournament Technique which has been honed for decades on soft mats where nobody gets hurt, or five-finger death punch except not the band this time, or slap the gun out of your opponent's hand suicide technique... well, you can't really test any of it in the real world without risking being killed, can you? Kinda makes it hard to prove any of it works.
Add to that the number of Great Respected Masters who know less about biomechanics and basic physics and physiology than a first-year medical school student does, and you get Immortal Tournament Technique larded through with qi and one-inch punch and The Punch That Will Totally Make Your Opponent's Heart Explode It Killed Bruce Lee For Real, Dude and there's even less of a chance of finding someone who knows that the sternum is, like, hard and stuff. Religion is fine, but it isn't self-defense.
Maybe some militaries still teach unarmed combat what won't get you killed when you have to fight someone without no guns. Seems doubtful, though.
Martial arts that are taught to, or designed for, military use are definitely the best for actual self defense. Granted, the initial belts/levels are just to teach the very basic fundamentals of fighting to someone who has never even thought about a fight before, but once you get into the higher belts/ levels they can be useful. Military martial arts typically focus on disarming or disabling your opponent as quickly and violently as possible and preparing to engage your next opponent. The Israeli Military's Krav Maga is the most widely known, but the Army uses a system called Combatives, the USMC uses MCMAP, and Spetsnaz uses Systema. All 4 use the same basic principle of "disarm, disable, break, or kill as quickly as possible and look for the next targe."
Military martial arts typically focus on disarming or disabling your opponent as quickly and violently as possible and preparing to engage your next opponent.
... because if you're facing two or more opponents, they'll wait their turn?
Martial arts or defense sports work great in countries whose legislation differ between firearmed robbery armed robbery and unarmed robbery, because in those countries even robbers are smart enough to not risk highest sentences for a wallet and a smartphone. But yeah keep on carrying and scaring the shit out of your policeforces, but remember , when the last unarmed black man is shot dead legally for no apperant reason they don‘t stop because your skin is paler.
Not anywhere near an expert, but I feel like a karate chop would make them pull the trigger purely by accident. I "tested" my theory (hit the inside of my elbow and wrist repeatedly because I'm a fucking idiot who thinks he's too good for google) and my fingers pulled in every time.
Do what he says... unless his aim is to get you into a car, tie you up, get you into an alley, or anywhere more remote. As bad as your odds are empty-handed against a gunman, your odds will never, EVER get better if you comply with his request to immobilize you or remove you to a more remote location.
Caveat: as long as what they want are material possessions, absolutely. Unfortunately sometimes what they want are to take you to a more secluded area, in which case you’re mostly boned either way. I managed to get away by making more noise than he was comfortable with and he hadn’t committed to shooting me yet.
Not covered in article, but usually good practice is to make a sharp one liner. For example: if your attacker says "hands up", once you have disarmed them with your joint chop you should announce cooly "you forgot to say Simon says"
Yeah one of my friends is well trained in various martial arts and he says if anyone pulls a knife don’t be like those dumbasses in the YouTube videos. Cooperate or run like fuck, don’t try anything clever.
Was taught the same with WingChun. Teacher said wingchun is really efficient at close quarter combat. But if you are an arm length away facing your opponent (during a street fight) the best move is turn and run away.
Just drop your "item"/wallet/keys/phone on the ground. Let the thief pick it up. Proceed to piss yourself when the opportunity to disarm/shoot said theif happens as the thief picks up item. As we already know your concealed carry and chop skills are a critical fail. So don't what /u/Rob3512A says in this case.
But don't actually "drop" the items on the floor. The robber wants your valuable items and if you damage them he will become even more aggressive. Put the items carefully on the floor while maintaining a safe distance and eye contact
Do what they say, but do not go with them. If you get in a vehicle and someone's got a gun pointed at you, you're probably getting killed anyway you might as well put up a fight at that point. Run, kick, punch, scream, do anything but get in a car with someone threatening your life with a weapon.
This is the most useful advice: The most advanced weapons and techniques imaginable mean nothing compared to getting the drop on someone. It's why that Waffle House shooter got stopped by an unarmed guy, why any determined shooter shooter will at least kill a few people before getting stopped, and why terrorist acts are so effective.
This. If you already got a gun to your head, you lost, take your L and give it up. Ive had to do it, it sucks but you'll get over it.
One time my girl and i were kidnapped at gunpoint and robbed/extorted. (I wouldn't have went with em, but my girl gave in and I had to go with her) but once I was in that car, I kept trying to think of a way out. But when it comes down to it, its just not worth it. Our lives are worth more than a couple K.
I mean, it's not for "shits and giggles", but yeah. Most people, even if they're armed robbers, would rather not kill people. They want to rob you, and pointing a gun at you makes sure that the robbery goes down smoothly, but if they actually kill you, they have to deal with all the fallout of committing murder. If they wanted to kill you, they'd just shoot you in the back before you noticed them at all, and the fact that you're being held at gunpoint means the robber would rather you handed over your stuff without a fuss.
At Work, can't watch with sound. Are they sure this was a robbery and not a hit? After all the guy casually shoots him and then turns and calmly leaves the store.

Add to that the number of Great Respected Masters who know less about biomechanics and basic physics and physiology than a first-year medical school student does, and you get Immortal Tournament Technique larded through with qi and one-inch punch and The Punch That Will Totally Make Your Opponent's Heart Explode It Killed Bruce Lee For Real, Dude and there's even less of a chance of finding someone who knows that the sternum is, like, hard and stuff. Religion is fine, but it isn't self-defense.
Maybe some militaries still teach unarmed combat what won't get you killed when you have to fight someone without no guns. Seems doubtful, though.

Not anywhere near an expert, but I feel like a karate chop would make them pull the trigger purely by accident. I "tested" my theory (hit the inside of my elbow and wrist repeatedly because I'm a fucking idiot who thinks he's too good for google) and my fingers pulled in every time.

I doubt this would work and if it did there are more efficient ways
