Defend Against a Handgun to the Face with a Gansta Grip

Video Transcript

"Tres Tew here; I'm an instructor at Yeshua's Ryu Martial Arts and on behalf of Expert Village, we are going to be going over handgun self defense. Now I'm going to show you how to defend yourself when someone has a side grip on their pistol. You may encounter this. This is obviously someone who has not been trained in the use of a handgun. They are pretty much using it as an intimidation tool. So what you want to do is push it out of the way. Strike into the face, or strike simultaneously. You can push either this way as you strike, or that way and move it to the left hand. But what we are going to do, we are going to move this way and strike and with the wrist lock, push down to here. Now, at this point, he's got the gun to himself, so he's probably going to want to let go. So what we are going to do is take and slide it. Push into his face as we slide through. Just make sure your finger is off the trigger. So once he let's go here, we're just hooking in and smacking into the side of his face. When he is going back, we will hold him at gunpoint. So, we'll do that one more time. Right here, striking, pushing back to here, striking again, pushing and coming back to here. That's how to defend yourself when someone has a side grip on their pistol, just like this, using a wrist lock against them. "
