How to Defend a Shotgun Fired From Hip

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 we're going to be over how to defend yourself when someone is hip firing toward you, they're holding you at gun point. Now from here you want to rest your hands about right here, and the key motion right here is that right there before they're able to pull the trigger. At this point they may have pulled the trigger but at least if it goes out, it going to go out that way. From here I'm going to snake across, strike the inside of the arm, strike the side of the face as we step in, and then we're going to wrench down and kick the inside of the leg, and butt across the face; at this point we're able to hold them at gun point until the police arrive. So we're going to go over that one more time, slow. Now this is the key movement right here, out of the way, striking, striking, in step, back, across with the stock of the weapon, with the butt, and then we're resetting until the police arrive. And that's how to defend yourself against someone who's hip firing with a shotgun."
