I'm your host John Korea

good people like you protect yourself
and your family more effectively today's
video comes to us out of Idaho Falls
Idaho in the United States and it shows
us a home invasion that has some
underlying stuff but some excellent
lessons right on the surface as well
want to take your knowledge beyond the
narrated videos join us on active
self-protection extra and subscribe for
multiple videos every week to help you
get better in your defensive skills go
read the news story on this one there
are significant details there it's late
at night the intruder here has said that
he's going and looking because he says
he knew that there were drugs in the
house there's audio here let's listen to
it happens quickly then we'll come back
walk through it one more time
[Music]
so quickly again you're going to see
here that the intruder breaks in the
original is in a really wide frame you
know cinematic format you could actually
see the door busts down comes up with
the 12-gauge shotgun and starts ordering
people around and the manor house just
grabs a hold of that shotgun twists it
around but now the fight ensues for the
gun does a good job of dominating it
there and now notice that the man the
owner of the house is fiance is just
kind of sitting around oh no what do I
do as the bad guy drags him out of the
house and she's gonna run off and call
9-1-1 and that's where the video ends if
you go and read the news stories you'll
hear that the confrontation lasted quite
a bit longer they had a couple of
roommates those guys came out and helped
as well but I got eventually got away
but cops caught him a short time later
and he's facing a whole host of charges
scary stuff indeed and maybe preventible
got a question for you out of this one
for the comment section he leave me a
comment let me know what you think and
that is if you ever worked on disarming
someone with a long gun you ever you
know gone on the Matt used blue guns or
brooms or sticks or whatever to work on
disarms of a long gun wielding opponent
let me know what you've trained in in
the comments I have some it's definitely
something after this one I'm gonna work
on a little bit more out of today's
video I want to talk about preventing
these types of crimes to begin with via
home security and with lifestyle choices
secondly I want to talk about the
incredible importance of empty handed
skills and third talking to your nan
defending family about what their
responsibility is in a defensive
encounter let's start with a couple of
obvious lessons here number one the bad
guy came into the house because he knew
there were drugs there said he was going
in for drugs and money so the lesson
here as always stay away from drug
culture stay away from that kind of life
and your chances of having these
problems go down significantly
second thing from here regardless of
that reinforce the door of your home
make sure that whether or not you buy a
particular kit or you have a reinforced
metal screen door or whatever at the
very least take some 30-inch
case-hardened screws and replace all of
the bolts you know all the screws rather
in your door and how it's housed so then
that way it's much much much harder to
kick in also might think about an
underwear gun
or in the house gun here and and folks
you know that's a give or take whether
or not that's something that you want to
do however if we know how fast this goes
down you recognize that he didn't have
time to go get anything he only had what
was available to him now bad guy comes
up he has a gun pointed at you a
12-gauge shotgun that was loaded and a
dis pointed at you even if you were
wearing a home gun you you know you're
carrying your firearm at home you cannot
draw from the drop and this guy has the
drop on you right now gun up and on you
and attention on you you have to wait
your turn so even if you had a gun on
him can't do anything about it here
however I think there's some interesting
lessons here that what we're gonna see
is how long it takes him here as he
turns around and sees what else is going
on to come back so if we look right now
as he turns and looks if you were gonna
go that was the time to go so if you
were carrying a firearm at home that
would have been your opportunity to get
that firearm out and in the fight and
get it going at this guy now I talk
about all the time especially on active
self-protection extra about the
importance of your draw to first shot
and how that needs to be in a particular
time when we say the standard of a
concealed carrier is two seconds and
there's a reason for that
the reason that we say two seconds is
that if the bad guy turns in this
particular instance what you can see is
the amount of time that it takes for him
to turn and then turn back into our good
guy which is going to take place right
now is one point four seconds it took
him one point four seconds from the time
that he started turning over to his
right seeing what was on the other side
and then came back now then if you have
that one point four seconds plus the
point three five seconds that it takes
him to decide oh no I need to shoot this
guy because he's drawing a gun on me and
then 0.25 seconds in order to encode
that that idea and then press the
trigger what you have there is you have
two seconds to get a draw to first shot
on target before the bad guy could
possibly shoot you first and so
therefore that's why we say a two second
draw two first shots important now our
good guy here our home our homeowner
does not have a firearm on him and so
now he has to deal with the 5d s plus
one and because he has to have those
empty handed skills I always say very
important for all firearms carriers to
have empty handed skills for all people
because now he's gonna have to practice
those so first yesterday to cover the
distance you launch a counter-attack
from too far you'll get shots you have
to cover the distance and then deflect
is the first day after that plus one and
then
dominate
so you deflect and dominate the best
path is to distract to give him
something like pain and suffering
breaking things on him hurting him to
give him thinking about things other
than holding on to his tool then we once
we've distracted then we disarm and then
we disable and keep him from hurting us
again but if we don't do those in order
we just focus on the disarmament we
don't do the distract first then we're
in a fight for the tool and we're in a
strength battle and that's exactly what
happens here you see our homeowner it
takes and he's just about the disarmed
but doesn't think about the distraction
think about getting this guy to think
about something else he grabs a hold of
it dominates the tool pretty well but
because otherwise he's not what we have
instead is we have a strength battle for
the tool this is why you got to do this
stuff and have the empty-handed skills
and go on the mat because notice here
that our bad guy gets the gun back away
from him for a second and actually uses
a leveraging arm here so if you're not
focused on grappling skills you know if
you're not focused on some kind of
contact distance martial art and I'm not
necessarily talking about standing up
squaring up in a fight like a boxing
match but I'm talking about grappling
jujitsu you know any kind of judo those
kind of arts something that you are in
contact with her standing or on the
ground very very helpful because you see
the guy needs it hear that scent and
recognize the fact that if he had
distracted if he had done that and
obviously gone after the guy recognized
he had to distract him would have been
better now finally I do want to think
about the fiance here what do you do
with those who are not self defenders
those who are not going to be part of
the solution teach them what they need
to do as well I think his his fiancee
here did a good job of staying out of
the fight now I would of course
preferred if she was a defender to get
in there and help him for gracious sakes
but if you're not you teach them to get
the heck out of the danger zone as fast
as humanly possible and get on the phone
with 911 that's what she did here that
got the cops on the way and that's the
second best thing instead of sitting
there and doing nothing oh no what's
going on get out of the danger zone
yourself so you're not part of the
problem that he doesn't have to defend
you as well get on the phone with 911 or
at least go wake the the roommates up or
whatever so then that way you can you
know get some help into the fight far
better of course to train your
significant other to be a defender as
well and come to your aid so we see some
interesting stuff here about home
defense about reinforcing doors about
waiting your turn about human
performance factors and if you're
carrying a gun in the home
what it would have taken in order to get
a shot off on this guy before he can
shoot you we also learn about the
incredible importance of the five DS
plus one so in an overall sense I think
our homeowner had a great attitude had
enough skills how to plan to get it done
and covered his ass
