Training Tips for Defending Against Rifles

Video Transcript

"My name is Tres Tew. I'm an instructor here at Yeshua' Ryu martial arts. On behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to be showing you how to defend yourself with open hands against either rifles or shotguns. Now I'm going to talk a little bit about the training gear you're going to need. A very good idea is eye-training gear. When you're training with an Airsoft rifle, there are small plastic beads that go into the magazine here. And when it's cocked, you can kind of simulate, you know, at least with a gun to the back. You can kind of have a protector. Also eye gear on your deflection speed, when you're blocking the barrel of the gun out of the way. So when you're training with that, you're going to need some kind of padding for your back, as well as eye gear. And you're probably going to want something that's going to stop the pellet from continuing on, some kind of blanket or a wall or something of that nature. So that's a little bit of the training gear you're going to need. Also, you will need some kind of working knowledge of guns or someone who does. Maybe find a self-defense class that teaches gun self-defense. Again, if you're really serious about gun self-defense, you want to delve into the subject of guns. In order to defend against something, you really have to understand it. Understand the gear you're going to be training with and that's the training gear that you'll need for training with defense against a gun."
