I was teaching a martial arts class in a small town some years ago, and I had one student whose father dropped his son off, then sauntered over to the bar next door to enjoy himself while his son was getting healthy and strong. Class was just over one day, when the father staggered in and pointed a gun at me, and asked me what good my karate was now? I moved, he gaped at his gun suddenly appearing in my hand, and I grinned.
It is possible to take a gun away from somebody, even easy, and it doesn't even matter if they are pointing it into your face. I took that fellow's gun away from him, and I'm going to tell you how I did it. That said, and even considering what I am about to tell you in this article, I don't recommend risking your face against volatile discharge, and I do recommend giving your money to a fellow holding a gun on you.
The first and most important thing you must consider, when somebody points a gun at you, is which way his communication is going. Typically, a fellow steps steps out of a dark alley, is pointing a gun at you, and he says he will shoot. The intention of his communication is towards you.
Moving slowly so that he sees your total compliance, you put up your hands, and place them in a position that is best for what you are about to do. You should engage in a lot of intensive practice to know what position is best. It is crucially important, in this situation, that you relax your muscles utterly and entirely and make your mind icy calm.
Now, the fellow says to give him your money, and this is the point you have been waiting for. At this point the intent of the communication is towards him, and away from you. At this point he is not intending to shoot because he expects you to move towards him.
As I said, you must have muscles that are totally relaxed, and you must have an utterly calm mind. You are going to hit his wrist, and you must shift your head away from the direction the gun will move in and off the line of attack when you do so. Grab the barrel of the gun and twist it as you slap the inside of his wrist.
There may be a discharge of the weapon as you slap the inside of his wrist, but the gun should have angled so it will miss you. With tons of practice, and specifically of the technique and of the ability to be relaxed in one position in space, and then virtually instantaneously in another position in space, you can actually try different methods of controlling the gun and refine this technique.
Having written the preceding, let me say that the technique won't work if the fellow is not interested in getting your money, but rather in kidnapping you for purposes of domination, or if he is too far away, or if you just read this article and never practiced it...a few thousand times, I also want to say that the reason I wrote this article is for training purposes, for enlightenment of the individual in a life threatening situation, not to give you the idea that risking your life is more important than money. And, I want to let you know that it is going to be a lot of fun to go point a little laughter in his face when the fellow is caught and goes to trial.
