How Attacker Distance Determines Defense

Video Transcript

"My name is Tres Tew; I am an instructor here at Yu Shasasru 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 when your attacker is at a distance from you and you're unable to get any type of technique because he's so far away. This is, this is probably the worst situation you can be in with a gun because he has the range. If he tells you to walk closer, you can do so and that's pretty much a gift from God if he tells you to do that. If not, hope for some type of distraction or wait until he's least aware and focused and you go for some type of cover that's close by. Anything that could either hide you or shield you form an immediate gun shot and then you use the tactic of surprise. You know, you wait and then you get control of the gun when he's looking for you. Again when he's at a distance this is a very bad situation to be in, if you can, close the distance but don't just run at him; but just close the distance or find cover. That's pretty much the only things you can do."
