when trying to disarm an armed attacker
that deflect
is critically important
[Music]
i'm john korea your host and i welcome
you to today's lesson on active
self-protection
it comes to us out of russia at the top
of the screen apparently got drunk at
this bar and got kicked out and from
what he says a news story linked in the
description he wandered off
found a shotgun lying about is what he
said and took it back to get these guys
when they grab a hold of the shotgun
he fires it once there and now they are
going to hold
that gun and try to keep him at bay and
you can see them
wrestling with him over the gun and it's
a pretty good fight you see this other
lady come in and start wrestling with
him as well and now a whole bunch a
couple more guys are going to come in
one guy i think ran off second guy in
the white there is trying to hold the
barrel of the gun as well and keep this
guy from getting it
now it's a family affair it's a big
party as these guys are all getting in
there
watch out though because again they're
not able to get this guy away from this
gun
and watch the muzzle just kind of go
around and around as it gets pointed at
different places
ostensibly safely but watch here at the
end as it shoots again
they held him for the cops and he's
facing a bunch of charges man
grateful that nothing worse happened
there and that they got that guy
into custody if you want to get better

so please come and join i'm giving away
education seven days a week there
let's talk about lessons from today's
video so let's think about this one at
the beginning
that the guy was kicked out of this bar
for being drunk and his response to that
is i'm gonna go get a sawed-off shotgun
and teach these guys a lesson or two so
listen just defending boundaries some
guy gets drunk and you're like hey man
get out of here or whatever can lead to
some significant stuff which is why as a
good saint sober moral person
a you better be ready uh to defend
yourself b i think having some uh
you know disarming skills some empty
handed skills very important
i think it's pretty rare that somebody
in russia carries a firearm i think here
in the u.s much more commonly but now
this guy's going to come in here
and watch what goes down as he shows the
guys the firearm i notice here that our
bouncer
just doesn't hesitate at all he
immediately grabs a hold of that gun
and gets it deflected away from him and
dominated so we talk about the five d's
plus one all the time you gotta control
distance first that's a plus one
then we deflect because this one is a
very obvious case why otherwise you get
shot
then dominate once you've dominated the
tool and he can't get it back from you
then we are going to distract
disarm and disable and by distract
normally we mean
you know hurt him break something on and
make him not think about the gun so this
is why we deflect very quickly because
otherwise bad
juju comes down but then the dominate
happens
notice here he's got a hold of the gun
by the whole diani part and we've got a
hold of the gun by the shooty part
and so instead what you got to do is you
got to dominate that gun so much the
hand with the gun the arm with the gun
that he can't pull it back
they did a pretty good job of that here
even though the bad guy's trying to use
a leveraging arm in order to stay on it
but notice here this is why we have to
maintain that deflect because this gun
went off and it went off just
inches from the head of our second good
guy so
the deflect here incredibly important
once we we close the distance
we want to get that muzzle away from us
so then that way we don't eat one of
those
in the face then we dominate then we
distract then we disarm then we disable
and that's why we talk about doing them
in order on the channel all the time
because of the importance of this now
that they're gonna you know
get this dominated pretty well and
they've got a pretty good job of
domination here but notice he still got
a hold of the handle of the gun he's
still got a hold of the pistol grip
and that gives him incredible advantage
so now you got to think about distract
here you got to think about the fact
that somebody has to deal with him so
the gun doesn't feel pain
you got to make him feel pain so he
stops thinking about the gun otherwise
it's a strength contest
and that's exactly what we see here it's
a strength contest trying to get the gun
away from him
and he has got a good grip on the gun
notice our guy here is actually talking
to him
and and again maybe working together
with your other good guy and say you got
this
so that i can go work on him now that
might be something as
easy as your scottish martial arts here
and head butting that guy
in the face so then that way he's not
thinking about the gun but
is instead thinking about his hurting
nose and face
will give you the opportunity then to
take that gun away from him otherwise
it's a strength contest
and that's a pretty significant problem
and that's what went down the whole rest
of the time here
guy's drunk he doesn't care he is gonna
hold on to this and they don't know how
to take the gun away from him
somebody here of all these people has to
get on this guy and this is why i think
having some kind of grappling skills
standing grappling skills are great you
can choke a guy out while you're
standing get behind him get him you know
around his neck
and get that gun away from him the
reason you want to get it away quickly
is look at what's happening to the
muzzle
if this had gone off at any of these
times somebody is badly wounded
in this particular case now thankfully
that didn't happen
and thankfully they were able to hold
the guy and kind of keep him back there
but notice here
we have two holes one in the wall and
one on the floor from this so let's use
this one as a reminder to practice those
five d's plus one in order make sure you
work on that in your training
so that when the time comes you can do
it in the real world
