sometimes you got to choose when to
fight but having the skill and plan to
back up that attitude is

crucial hi friends welcome to today's
lesson here at active self- protection
I'm your host John Korea I'm not 100%
sure where this one comes from I have
searched to no avail so if you know
would you put it in a comment so that I
can add it to the description I'd
appreciate it the Mantis X10 Firearms
performance system is an invaluable
training tool for Shooters of all levels
to make them better with their defensive
Firearms see these two guys just sitting
in the back office when Watch What
Happens door is going to open and an arm
robber is going to come in with a
firearm and he's going to point it at
the first guy and say okay man there's
an arm robbery and they are going to
comply now watch what goes down here I'm
going to speed this up just for the sake
of time they're going to start getting
on the ground and watch him get a bunch
of zip ties out from his back pocket you
can see that there's a second arm robber
she's got a gun pointed at him as well
he's going to tell him hey you know
start getting these people all tied up
and he's going to start tying this guy
up while he's trying to get other stuff
and the one guy who's tying up the
second guy is kind of showing him and
telling him what's going on where gets a
gun pointed at his head now we're going
to slow it back down to regular time
here and watch what happens with the guy
on the ground he's going to decide no I
can't be taken down like this and he's
going to reach for the gun doesn't do
that and doesn't help him there I think
that first shot missed him but the woman
came in and shot him dead right there
now watch what goes down she's going to
hit this other guy with the gun m
multiple times but our original bad guys
is going to turn around and shoot him as
well our dude that's on screen here
certainly did not make it I wouldn't be
surprised if the second guy didn't make
it as well though again I don't have a
news story on this one so if you do
please put it in the comments and I will
let everyone know man that one is
incredible if you want to get better as
a self- Defender consider joining us for
our monthly Deep dive online Zoom
classes we do one literally every single
month and I invite you to join us for
that for gold Patron members and
Firearms legal protection members
they're included in your memberships
anyone else is welcome to join us for a
few bucks hit the link in the
description allow me to say that I know
some people are going to say wow wow man
I don't like watching videos like this I
rather see the bad guys get beat and the
good guys win and listen I like showing
those a lot as well but if we only show
that we give people a false confidence
that whatever they do works and the
reality is this is the potential cost of
going after someone's gun and we must
see that and know the lessons and that's
why I do these kinds of videos so let's
learn those lessons and you see these
guys just chilling and and this is the
thing you're always at an initiative
deficit in an an arm robbery because
this guy comes in he points a gun at you
and what are you going to do if you draw
your firearm here you're going to get
shot this is drawing from the drop 101
and I don't think either of these guys
have a gun but at this point probably
purposeful compliance is your only bet
purposeful compliance and then looking
for the right opportunity to launch a
counter Ambush our our Defender here
tried to Launch bunch of counter Ambush
did so at the wrong time we're going to
talk about when the right time could be
and why it was the wrong time and that
timing error cost these guys their lives
now then notice here okay I'm just going
to comply bro whatever you want me to do
I'll do to get me in a better spot to
protect myself and I think that is
definitely the right answer here also I
want us to recognize oh okay everybody's
got to decide when they are going to
resist notice here we see the second
Armed robber come and stick a gun in
your face and go from there straight up
that bit of knowledge is important to
have because every time you add an
additional attacker you increase the
difficulty of success by an order of
magnitude that makes this one incredibly
difficult and in my opinion might well
change the calculus here that says hey
even though there are things here that I
could very definitely you know maybe
have timing to do that given that
there's a second attacker on the loose
and I don't know where she is it might
be smarter to just comply in this
particular instance now again we're
looking at for opportunities here she's
off doing some things for some other
people if the guy wanted to take the gun
away I think that that not the guy with
his back turn in the stripe shirt but
the guy in the white shirt this was his
opportunity because remember when we're
talking about the 5Ds plus one what we
see actually works in actual gun disarms
in real life the plus one is distance
you've got to start from the right
distance and not close try to close the
distance but have the distance already
that's why it's plus one it is a
qualifier so he has that here he's got
that right next to him he reaches up
grabs a hold of that gun with both hands
and the hand with the gun now we've got
a fight on our hands but that passes and
so you got to find that opportunity
especially because the guy wasn't paying
attention to him in the moment didn't
have his eyes on him so okay fine
continue to look for your opportunity
you missed the first one maybe another
one comes around maybe another one
doesn't but when we don't have that see
what happens here is notice that the guy
in the striped shirt launches his attack
number one when the guy's eyes are on
him number two when the gun is a long
way away so he has to try to close the
distance instead of have the distance
and when he does that of course you you
see these you know bullshito
practitioners that say oh look at my
fancy gun disarms but what we see
actually work in real life is what
exactly what we see here is bad guys
move and so he moves and moves the gun
away and then shoots now I think that
shot actually missed this Defender I if
it had shot and and given kind of where
the muzzle was the only place probably
would have hit him is in the head and I
think if he did hit him in the head this
would have been over over over so so I
think he still has a chance and hey once
you start going you got to go with
everything you have I get it but this is
the danger here and the reason that we
say you got to have the distance not try
to close the distance because the
attacker moves too he doesn't just stand
there and that's that bullshito move of
here's the gun in your face and then I'm
just going to stand there while you do
57 martial arts moves to you uh you know
that's just not reality so he closes the
distance here now it's two on one but I
do want you to notice here that our
attacker uses the leveraging arm too so
if you allow him to to get that gun back
he's using when he has a gun he uses
that leveraging arm the support hand to
push you off and keep you away where you
can't get a hold of the gun whereas when
he has a knife he'll use it to keep you
close so he can continue to attack you
with the knife so you got to be able to
defeat that leveraging arm which is why
you want the distance closed immediately
now I also want to say there's that
secondary attacker and she gets one shot
off with this gun now it's very rare
that we actually see solo female
attackers on the channel in fact I would
say it almost never happens that we see
a solo female attacker but we do see
females as uh you know accomplishes here
and just because she's female does not
mean that she is unwilling to uh do
deadly harm to you so that that
secondary attacker is really where all
the problems are and she's the one who
took the shot that ended this guy's life
so so when you launch that attack make
sure that you recognize hey I have to
know that I can be you know have a
chance to Prevail here and I think it's
a good reminder to always practice
spiritual Fitness because you don't know
the last day of your life these guys
didn't come to work to stay thinking oh
hey you know I'm going to end up in a
gunfight here and having to to you know
fight for my life so that means you make
sure you've said everything you need to
say to your loved ones that you've
solved all the conflicts you can that
you and Jesus have a strong relationship
because on that day you will need it
also worth noting here that her gun is
out of battery that she has a crappy gun
we see you know attackers have crappy
guns all the time so she was going to
turn and shoot this other guy as well so
so they were both dead if her gun worked
but it didn't so she shot once gun
malfunctions pretty common that we see
bad guys gun malfunctions here but that
doesn't mean they're out of the fight we
know that the guy who's got the other
gun is still in the fight his gun is
working as far as we know but this is a
good reminder for us as self- Defenders
to keep quality firearms on us that
don't malfunction when we shoot them one
time then and I'm glad for that in this
case but it didn't help our Defender
very much here because look what goes
down she's going to hit him in the head
a couple times actually think put her
gun back in battery but she lost it now
here's the problem is that because our
Defender did not dominate when we talk
about this in terms of self-defense we
talk about first part of this is deflect
and then dominate so once we've covered
the distance we have to deflect and then
Dominate and if we do not deflect and
then dominate the gun and the hand with
the gun and the arm with the gun we
leave it out into space and this is what
Ed Parker used to say if you if you let
a weapon orbit out into space it will
orbit back around you and that's exactly
what we saw happen here and because of
that because he tried to you know did
did the best he could but left the gun
out there in space the guy turns it
around and pulls the trigger while it's
in his guts and I think you could see
right here that he has been shot in the
side and in the high rib cage here and
that very easily could prove fatal and
and so again just because you know that
you've seen you know a successful disarm
attempts on the channel or even in real
life does not mean that you should
launch one if you don't launch one from
the right distance and you don't
practice the 5Ds plus one this is
exactly what happens and we see this
happen again and again and again so if
you think gosh man this is something
that I would try in that instance I
can't tell you enough get on the mat and
train for real life scenarios not for
stuff that you see on you know social
media of fancy Dancy gun disarms but
stuff that works in real life as
pressure tested against resisting
opposition with freedom of movement and
malevolent intent the reason that you
want to do that is so that you know the
technique Works Under Pressure because
otherwise this happens and I want you to
be able to cover your asp
