for a clerk at a convenience store their
counter can actually be an excellent
asset thank you for joining us on
today's active sell protection lesson
I'm your host John Correa today's video
comes to us from Toledo Ohio in the US
the new Mantis x10 firearms performance
system has all the goodness of the
original Plus holster draw analysis and
recoil analysis it's a fantastic upgrade
and I recommend it highly
so this dudes gonna walk in and ask to
buy some cigarettes but not have the
right change for those cigarettes what
he doesn't know is the clerk behind the
counter has actually been robbed several
times according to the news story in the
description and he's tired of that crap
so when the guy says hey man I don't
have enough money for that he's like
well I'm not gonna sell it to you so the
guy pulls a gun on him and says give me
the money out of the till and give me
the cigarettes and our clerk is just
really not having it when he tries to
climb over our clerk actually grabs him
and starts a hand fight with him and
then reaches over grabs a gun now watch
the clerk's left foot and what you're
going to see is that he actually is
going to get the magazine to fall out of
the gun here so he gets the magazine out
and now our robber is all you know
rearend over teakettle here but he
finally gets over the counter and is
gonna get the guy off of him and go back
and try to get the till now our clerk is
actually gonna run off if you watch the
door on the top right you're gonna see
our clerk run out our bad guy got a
grand total of a pack of cigarettes is
all he got and ran off police are still
looking for him thankfully the clerk
wasn't hurt and that's whether this one
ends I love her there in the middle
while it looked like they were kind of
doing the tango for a little while that
one was kind of funny I you know if you
want to get better as a self defender
one of the best ways that you can do
that's go follow me on Instagram
Instagram is kind of like behind the
scenes it's it's just me living that
lifestyle putting pictures up of stuff
that I'm checking out targets from
shooting short videos just little things
of behind-the-scenes come follow me on
Instagram we I just go load up your
Instagram app and look for me active
self-protection
so as the good sane sober moral person
you are always working at an initiative
deficit this clerk doe had a fantastic
attitude because of his previous
robberies when this guy pulls a gun the
clerk has already decided what he's
going to do this is the what we call the
plan part of attitude skills and plan he
has decided I am NOT going to be a
victim and that's perfectly valid now if
you go read the news story again the
owner of this shop says hey man just
give them the stuff your life is worth
more than that whatever but our you know
our clerk is like nah man
not gonna have that I am gonna actually
defend myself against these guys every
time you should have that plan in
advance whether it's compliance or
resistance know that in advance that's
part of the planning that you should
build with the skill set you have in
your attitude so this guy's like no I
refuse to be a victim and I will stop
him from hurting me now let's look at
the counter here because the counter is
a really good tool for a clerk that
actually keeps bad people away for a
moment and you can use it as a force
multiplier because the bad guy has to
defeat that counter to get back where
the valuables are and that's generally
where they keep the high valuables if
you know what you're looking for you
might be able to use them getting and
defeating that counter to get over and
go from there now of course I would
rather the clerk have had his own
firearm on him here he's an immigrant to
the United States but not a prohibited
possessor is what it sounds like to me
so he should be legally armed in the
great state of Ohio but he doesn't have
that so instead he uses his empty-handed
skills and gets this guy off balance now
I will note this you know when we talk
about the five DS plus one that you
control the distance then you deflect
and dominate and one of the things that
we say is don't leave that gun out there
floating and you notice right now the
clerk he has closed the distance the
guns not pointed at him now he's
dominating the guy but that gun is way
out there so he could get that in the
fight so our clerk does a good job of
instead getting his hand over and
dominating that as well in order to
truly dominate the person you have to
dominate that hand with the gun in it as
well and control it because otherwise
it's out there loose and he can bring
that back around and use it against you
so make sure when you're practicing this
on the mat and if you do you'll see how
it fails when you don't is that if you
don't control that actual tool in the
hand with the tool in it man it'll come
around and bite you almost every time
that you have a determined bad guy now
he gets this gun to work and gets the
magazine dropped out of it I think
that's actually a really savvy move now
of course that might leave around in the
chamber and most firearms today will
still fire without a round in the
chamber
but at the very least you have made that
gun into a single shot handgun and I am
gonna say it might even be wise at that
point that you're fighting for your life
over a gun you might point that gun at
the bad guy and he'll press that last
shot off so then that way you know it is
not a valid gun at that point because
you've cooked off the only round that's
in there of course that's gonna take
some significant skill and knowing
various types of firearms it's a good
reason to be a competent generalist so
you know how to get the Maggie
to release now then dudes gonna get down
there and get finally up so you've got
to have some strong empty-handed skills
and I really see this all the time on
the real channel is I don't see a ton of
extended striking in non social violence
situations I don't see that but I do see
a lot of standing grappling I see a lot
of dirty boxing I don't see a lot of
punches thrown but I see a lot of
leveraging and a lot of standing dirty
grappling and so I really strongly
recommend that you get some grappling
experience and some some you know closed
entangled fighting both on your feet and
on the ground as you learn to be a self
defender now dude gets the the Clerc off
him and I love that the fact that the
clerk used that opportunity to get the
heck out of the danger zone now notice
that the clerk is running pell mell out
of the store and I bet just some people
are gonna think is that a wise idea you
know I would probably prefer that he get
into an enclosed environment maybe a
door he can lock or something like that
because you don't know if this guy has
any buddies outside and if he does you
might get yourself into a worse
situation but I love that he's willing
to abandon all this stuff I don't care
man if he takes the till take the till
if he takes the cigarettes take the
cigarettes this guy's got a gun I'm
getting the heck out of there using the
opportunity that you have to get the
heck out of the danger zone wise but
notice that the bad guy is going to use
that same egress route so I generally
don't recommend trying to jam up the
egress route that the bad guy has if
he's going to run off let him go and
that's fine so this guy runs off okay
great I think this clerk had an
incredible attitude I don't you know his
skill set was up to the task that day
did and of defending himself his plan
was set in stone ahead of time he did a
pretty darn good job here and I'd
encourage you to think about your plan
as well to combine it with your attitude
and your skills to cover your ass
