Gun Disarm: Survive A Gun To Your Head – Self Defense
 

[h=1]Gun Disarm: Survive A Gun To Your Head – Self Defense[/h]
This self defense technique is designed to be used as a last resort. If you are held at gun point your first goal should be giving the attacker what he wants. This usually means your wallet, car keys, and any jewelry you have on you. If this is the case, give the guy what he wants and consider yourself lucky.
We all know that there are some circumstances where an attacker wants something we are not willing to give up. For example, if you are with a loved one (wife, child, etc.) and it is clear the attacker wants more than your money you may be forced to act.
The self defense gun disarm technique in this video is designed for these last resort situations. Every gun disarming technique taught by Bob Taylor has been rigorously tested using simunition (& wax bullets in the early days). He and his training partner Randy Warner ran all the self defense gun disarming techniques they could find through their gauntlet of tests. The result is a package containing gun disarm techniques that have the highest probability of success.
This video shows how to deal with an attacker who has put a hand gun to the back of your head. In this self defense scenario it is crucial that the barrel of the hand gun be touching your head. If it is touching your head don’t pull away, instead put more pressure on it. It you know the gun is close but not touching your head slowly move so that it is touching your head.

This may seem strange but having pressure on the gun gives you two distinct advantages. First, it lets you know exactly where the gun is. Second, it allows you to more quickly and efficiently roll your body off the target line and move inside the weapon. Both of these are crucial if you want this self defense disarm technique to work.
As Bob shows in this video when you roll to the inside of the gunman’s shooting arm you must simultaneously bring your inside arm up and over the attackers arm. Continue by wrapping your arm underneath his. His forearm will be locked into your armpit while you drive his elbow joint upward extending his shoulder joint past its range of motion.
At this point you have the attacker in a joint lock but depending on his strength and size this may or may not cause him to lose control of the weapon. The final move is to use your outside arm to drive the attackers elbow upward. This final step will damage the shoulder joint causing the release of the weapon even in large strong attackers.

Your job doesn’t stop there. Once the weapon has been dropped it is best to follow up by maintaining the joint lock and striking the attacker with whatever self defense tools you’ve got. This includes eye gouges, ridge hand to the throat, a leg sweep, or a strike to any other target that presents itself.
Once you’ve distracted him with a sufficient amount of pain your goal is to gain control of the weapon and create distance so that you are not disarmed by him.
There are a couple extra points to consider about this self defense gun disarm technique. First, when disarming a gun there will usually be at least one round discarded from the weapon. This usually happens as you are turning to clear your own body from the target line. It’s your job to make sure an innocent bystander will not be in danger from the stray bullet (this is especially important if you are with loved ones). If necessary you may be able to slowly move in such a way that you position any bystanders off the target line before you attempt the disarm technique.
The second consideration is that for this particular self defense disarm technique to work the attacker must be carrying the weapon with one hand. Bob’s Video Advanced Weapon Disarmament goes over dozens of individual scenarios this is simply one example. It’s not a universal solution to weapon disarming.
