RE: SteemitBJJ | Hail Mary Gun Disarms!
Thanks! Much appreciated. You are right, the more familiar you are with the weapon, the higher rate of survival. I think there are many gun disarms out there, some work, some are garbage. I think the best way to look at it, is if you have an exit, take it. If they want something, give it to them. If you can run away, run! These are definitely last resorts. Your likelihood of being shot or stabbed during disarms is very likely.
The one we filmed is super basic. But I do plan to do quite a few of these. I have not trained weapons disarms much in my bjj career, but lately I feel like I want to begin focusing on gun and knife disarms. There are also quite a few non-bjj techniques that are worth taking a look at when it comes to weapon disarms.
As someone who has half or more of his lifetime training weapons... If your in a altercation with a weapon. It's now like a streetfight. This is life and death.
Should you be confronted with a knife or gun? Odds on your survival have just went down drastically and a disarm is a calculated risk. As is fighting back. You are most likely to be ambushed and have to choose the time to counter Ambush when the opponent is distracted.
I absolutely love Jiu-Jitsu and martial arts however it is only practical to train all types of Martial combat. Which does include disarms and weapons training.
