Defend Against a Handgun to the Side of the Head

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 you may encounter a situation where someone is holding their gun to the side of your head. Your hands are up. You just raise your hands up in a sign of "okay, I'm giving in." But what you are really going for is control of this gun. So what we are doing is we are moving out of the line of fire and using our hand to assist. From here, we can either grab and strike into the throat and recap the gun away, or we can push up with the tricep of our arm as we come in and trap the gun right here. From here, we can roll back into a shoulder crank and we have the gun here. You can also pinky fire at maybe another attacker here. So we are going to do that one more time. Pushing out of the way and striking. As long as we've got control of the gun, that's what we are going for."
