" I am Steve “The Dragon” Jimenez along with Heath Jones with Fit and Fearless Krav Maga. In this segment we are going to go over hostage situation with the weapon. Now from here the first thing I want to do is I don’t want to bring my hands right up here I don’t want to move make a large movement. So what I am going to do while we train is bring your hands here kind of touchy feely here. While we are doing is we are actually calming ourselves down too because it were a kind of focusing out something else just a little bit. At the same time just waiting to see but you can also talk to your assailant “look take it easy its going to be alright man, its going to be alright,” and then from here make defense. Once I redirect the weapon here it is coming straight up I am going to bring this hand here into the back of the weapon because its going to make me stronger. Its going to be harder for him to pull it back from here I am going to make myself long and extend the weapon away from here and I flatten the weapon out. Once I do that I hold on to the weapon and while I am delivering these strikes I am going to make sure I keep the line of fire away from me right here. One two (boom here) from there step off, back kick. If you are law enforcement, tap, rack, “get down on the ground.” If you are not in law enforcement, you don’t know the mechanics of the weapon run, run with the weapon do not drop it. "
