@@hard2hurtIt’s awesome I mean like aren’t you teaching self defence and KM also teaches how to move your gun away from it being snatched.

I’m a Krav Maga Instructor and I hate teaching disarms. Most of it is theoretical and we don’t have anyone that’s lived to say any technique worked. KMMA and KMWW have essentially turned this into katas, false hope, and BS. The best way to teach this is to teach aggression. The student has to understand that you have to become the most aggressive, evil SOB in the world, at that moment, to make the technique work. Your technique may absolutely suck, but aggression can make up for that. Aggression is really too mild a word for how barbaric you have to become in that moment to win the fight. If you have the mentality of “surviving” the fight- you’re dead. Victory at all costs is what you should striving for. If you hit them with the gun you swing it like you’re trying to bury it in their skull. Aggression is the element nearly all Krav schools neglect and aggression wasn’t even talked about in this video.

Not worth it. You don't need to compromise your morals to survive a fight. With enough training you can remain calm and under control of yourself during a fight. There is no defense against a gun pointed at your head. Now if you're smart, you're wearing a vest, then you can grab the gun and aim it at your vest location because it will most likely go off while you are wrestling it away from them. You don't need to be "evil" to survive, just smart, prepared, and quick. After you pull the gun away from them, you don't have to then shoot them dead. That is "evil" and would definitely end the fight asap. You could shoot them in the leg then aim it at a non lethal part of their body to show them you will shoot them, but you don't have to kill them. Once a gun is in the picture, it's all about who has the gun that has the power to kill instantly. Gun-fu is bullshit Keanu Reaves dog-shit John Wick stuff. The moment you lunge for a gun, you better be ready to die, because it is a 50/50 possibility the guy is willing to shoot you or will accidentally shoot you because you surprised him.

I was an unarmed security guard at a unnamed shopping area about a decade ago. I carried a couple pocket knives even though I wasn’t supposed to. A tiny can of pepper spray that worked occasionally. I had a flex baton and a two AA mini mag light. A guy tried to rob a “women’s undergarments” store that his ex girlfriend was working at. He had a 6 inch barrel six shot 357 magnum pointed at his “twig and berries” in his sweatpants. I was behind him and he did not know I was there. I threw my Mag light onto the counter next to him so he turned and looked at it. Cracked him in the back of the head with the flex baton. And managed to wrestle the gun away. I cracked him with the butt of the revolver. And stepped back to “ create distance” and see if it was loaded, because “now I had superior fire power.” While I was checking the cylinder. He produced a snubnose 38 five shot. And pulled the trigger on me five times. It was not loaded. I then held him on the ground with the “superior fire power”. With piss running down my leg. Until the big boys got there. Shit happens.

The hitting after the disarm also plays an important part in the psicological aspect. Is being the aggressor instead of the victim and putting the assailant in the victim roll. If you take the gun away and instantly try to create distance the attacker will keep his attack and rush you. If you decide to take action against an armed attacker you shouldn’t be thinking defensively. You should be trying to KILL the guy. I think this mindset part was left out in the análisis.

you guys are fracking amazing and hilarious. Thank you for sharing. I am a self-defense instructor, sharing totally the same concerns, and refused to teach the " striking with the gun thing " as a systematic response every time you decide to react toward a threat with a gun. But...it is an option. We are faced with a problem when it s about knife or gun " counter-measures" . Yes, as instructors, we are trained, and often in multi-disciplines, including shooting. We still train hard every day. But when it s about your students, you know they won't be there for years. Should you show them the very low chance of success technique or should you let them figure it out by themselves (which they probably won't) / or by someone with fewer skills than you? Personally the more I know about knives and guns the more it terrifies me. But I also feel I have a responsibility toward my students. I decided to share what I know. In the best manner, I could. Even if the chances they fully deeply understand the techniques and their risks are not certain. I just remain honest about it. Fantastic video thank you guys, you pumped my mood!

This is a really good collaboration and what this channel is really the best at. The real problem with Krav Maga is that it (when I dipped my toe in at least) doesn't train against resistance. It was essentially "self-defense" like we'd do in traditional martial arts. As a tangent, does anyone reading in the comments remember "Shock Knives"? They allow you to adjust the voltage and back in the day, I thought they'd take off as a training tool. I guess they didn't. I would *love* to see a video from this channel about them!

The Dynamic application of an untrained but justifiable technique is essential to be prepared for! Never limit yourself and always examine what happened and what you did to learn a lesson after every encounter. Hate to use "always" and "never" but we have to learn from ourselves and others ..

Excellent observations.

I'm going to be annoying and pedantic for a second... What you did in your cop story was a muzzle strike, which I would argue is different than pistol whipping because the strike comes while the gun is still being held in the shooting grip in a way that maintains coverage of the target with the gun's primary function (ie, shooting). A muzzle strike comes out of gun handling fundamentals and becomes a point blank headshot very easily if it comes to that. As you showed, pistol whipping happens with the gun in whatever grip you happen to have it in and you're hitting in whatever motion -- the gun is essentially just a blunt object the same as whatever else you might pick up. I'd argue there's a lot more utility in teaching muzzle strikes than pistol whipping.

I've practiced knife disarms with wooden knives, and I can see why all these disarm techniques are problematic. Some techniques act like the attacker has one arm. Or like you can disarm someone without needing a weapon yourself. When we do our disarms, we're always using the weapon. Even with a stick, it's better to disarm the person with a weapon yourself, because reaching for the weapon is a really dumb idea.

Knife disarms make me very uncomfortable because some of them involve grabbing along the spine of the blade..but if it's double edged, you're about to drag that hand down the blade.

This is so good. In my training we practice running away, several jumps away with the gun. And an action loading a round into the chamber. One of the black belts I trained with actually got into a situation. A gun pulled on him. He started the disarm, he didn't follow through. It became basically 2 guys trying to not let the other have the gun. He believes that he probably could have taken it. But when a bullet can actually fire into your body the calculation becomes different. It was a stalemate. But the fact is, the is form, and there is application. He reacted, no one got shot. His training may have saved his life also maybe the criminal.

Had no limitations on space. But when reality happened to him, the training still counted. The main goal was to not have the barrel pointed at you. He was able to control the gun enough to keep the barrel away from him. He did not have the goal of using the gun against his assailant. Only to prevent it from being used on him. I remember him saying to me, humbly, "dude I just didn't wanna get shot." And I'm really proud of his action. He acted decisively. No one was wounded in any real way. It was ugly, and scary. But in the end the goals of self defence were met in a very really way.

Oh the flinch you made when you booped him is legendary. I had a similar moment, I work as a S/O at a hospital and we had a guy punching the window on the 6th floor and I have picked him up from behind and slammed him back onto his bed for us to restrain him. I didn't realize he had a broken leg (unsure if it was broken it was in a cast) but I reacted the same way you did here haha! I felt terrible.

I'm really impressed by this. I see many things that just seem bad on their face, then worse when I practice them. These techniques look solid, lots of keeping the elbows in, down, and retaining control of the weapon and opponent.

The only issues I have is that anyone who has any sort of training with a firearm knows not to get so close to avoid getting disarmed. And with a knife chances are you would not even get the chance to see it. Always good skills to have, but be aware they may not save your life should it depend on it.

I'm a huge advocate for humility when it comes to people being critical about your art. People will argue until the end of time about which art is better than which. But the reality is that no art is immune to criticism, and being able to respond to that feedback positively is just as important as being skilled in your practice.

It depends on how you disarmed the gun; hitting him like that could make sense. The strikes are meant to distract and/or stun so you can better your chances at making distance, rack the slide & wield the gun. Maybe just 1 or 2 strikes, then move back, etc. Otherwise, if you were still too close after the disarm, they can attempt to disarm you => constant fighting for the gun.

I train and teach Classic Krav Maga in Finland. And we NEVER do that. Secure the weapon, make space and if needed hit with it but we never do that jackhammer thing. And always hold the weapon the way it's supposed the be held and not sideways. Solid video and ideas. Definitely will take this to my teaching.

Aaron was my 1st Krav instructor and a great instructor he is! Now that I'm an instructor of a Krav hybrid I like to try and run as many possible scenarios as I can think of. Make it as realistic as possible. Cuz the assailant is definitely try and keep their weapon!

Another story which involved is that I went to a week long training class put on by a very well known police instructor. Each morning we did 2 or more hours working on weapon retention and weapon recovery. The goal was that once you got loose with your gun still in the holster or recovered your from the other guy was to create distance. A lot of distance, like running away distance. Of course this course was geared more to civilians were a cop might not have that option but I think creating distance would still be important for an officer.

All good points! Self defence is tricky at best. For beginners you need to give them some set tools to use. Then they have to be confident enough with then to use under pressure so you cant overload them with ifs and buts. In situations not involving weapons any swift and confident response is better than no response. And even with knife defence (if the attacker is hell bent on stabby stabby) an aggressive coherent response is better than none.

Picked up those trainers. Thanks for the info Mike!

You should try doing a larp of a home defense situation. Make safe versions of weapons in your home and place them where they would truthfully be. Get some friends to be your bad guys and have them draw different realistic scenarios out of a hat and you draw a random room to start in. Then defend yourself.

@diveforknowledge

Dont ever try to do a Kempo defense technique IRL. I've seen enough of them to consider it more a suicide attempt than anything else.

Really the biggest problem with Krav instructors teaching disarms is that they are not required to be shooters in order to get that qualification for teaching disarms. That leads to them either completely overeastimating the effects of a shot going off while you are fighting over the gun and saying crazy stuff like "the slide will rip your hand off" etc. or to them completely underestimating the effects of a shot going off while fighting over the gun. If you are gripping the slide and are not gripping hard enough, the front sight will cut you. If you are gripping it hard enough, it will still hurt, especially if you are doing any of the grips that put your hand not over and around the slide but have you hook behind it. Its not going to break your hand, but it will be a stiff hit to your palm or fingers. The muzzle blast into the face from holding the gun probably pretty tight to you when it goes off is also something to consider. If you havent experienced those things, especially if you are not a shooter at all, you could easily get spooked and let go off the gun like you touched a hot stove. In my opinion to properly teach gun disarms a range day has to be included where basics of shooting a handgun are covered, then malfunctions and malfunction clearing/inducing and then you have the students one by one under your direct supervision actually fire the gun while doing the various disarm grips with the other hand on it. Probably one with a stupid long slide like a G34 to make it easier and faster to get people to grip it without digits spilling over the end in front of the muzzle and only one round loaded at a time in case they do drop it. Make them experience it and let them remember that it hurts, but does not cause real injuries. Then they will understand what it is that they are practicing.

My problems with gun disarms is that you aren't likely to disarm somebody that is brandishing from 20'+ away. You also aren't likely to disarm somebody that isn't alone, especially if their companion/gang is also armed. Travel in groups. Get CCWs.

Apparently in the military that’s pretty common to hit people with the muzzle of your rifle and all it does is make people bleed and cause a mess. He emphasized the importance of knowing how to control somebody and it made me start training bjj(and MMA)

"Do a tactical roll!" Mike 😂 joke or not that was a smooth transition 😎

For what it's worth Mike I think your scenario is justifiable. It could've gone worse and you shot someone on the ground but he only ended up with a cut.

The Krav maga feet part killed me! 😂 Anyway good advice in my opinion nicely done.

The foot shuffle cracks me up.

The intro! Priceless! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You need this guy in "Ultimate Self Defense Championship" ;)

For the simplest version of a gun disarm. Or literally to take anything off a guy. Aikido wrist lock then strip the weapon out through that thumb gap. For a gun or knife it points it back on the person. For a glass or bottle (which was my jam) it takes it out without throwing stuff everywhere. Otherwise it is a super handy trick if they are holding something you want to.

@02:55 he nailed the problem with most 'martial art' self-defense techniques (that the opponent will be 'cooperative'/passive/just stand there)...

Have you covered motocycle/tactical gloves with that armor on the knuckles sometimes the armor is made from carbon fiber oakly tactical versions were pretty popular back in the day. But i think motorcyclists were using them first only diffrence is the tactical ones are usual tan green or black where is the moto ones are colorful to match your leathers or bike.

Love your videos 👌

Where I trained we did muzzle strikes with the pistol, not hamburgers. Got to keep the barrel pointing in a safe direction and avoid muzzle sweeping yourself like Icy Mike did 50 times in this vid, right? Like at the bad guy. If it goes off it’s a case of “oh well”.

The Krav I trained in was real life simulation so we ALWAYS FOUGHT BACK at any capacity. Usually defense involved, getting the weapon and retreating to safe distance, clear the weapon.

*Boop* "Don't you do that!"

Those punch and kick counters from Kuk Sool Won are comical. Every time we practice any technique it was always with a completely compliant partner. I would love to see you talk more about KSW specifically, as someone who's wasted a lot of their time practicing it.

Gotta admit I was surprised to see IceyMike bust out the first technique from KSW. I'm curious why you say 'wasted' your time. I used to practice KSW and yes it has flaws but things like light/no-contact sparring were instrumental in teaching me control and distance management.

@@williamharvey8358 It was definitely excellent at teaching distance management and control when/if we ever sparred, though the judging was horrid every time. I say I wasted my time, mostly because of the hours upon hours of doing techniques of questionable efficacy against another person who is as resistant as a sack of potatoes.

You two are very funny together. You ever consider doing periodical cop story videos Mike? I dig your stories.

One thing that annoys me even more are the people who do the disarm, whatever it is, and soon as they take the gun, they stand straight and just hand the gun back almost in one motion. No follow action, no creating distance, no counter attack, nothing. They just take the gun and give it back in one fluid motion

"Boop! Don't you do that!" Classic. That was a very brief version of a terrifying story, but so funny.

That's true, that's why you should train under pressure. Some schools do that, and it automatically shows what works and what does not.

I've been training Krav Maga for 7 years now, and our club's response right after the disarm is to hold the gun in the back hand, close to belt in case of eventual witneses thinking we are the one with a gun, ofc gun prepared for dealing blunt damage and first hand mainly striking (often instantly leaving the place of action).

My previous comment written before I saw the demonstration of the front kick. To add: That was exactly what we were taught as a base technique. A person would do that base technique for about most of the class and in the end we would present the concept of the struggling threat. And then discuss what happened. Then next class we would continue from the base technique then again struggling threat and then switch the angle of the threat, or the hight of which the gun was held. We usually did two weeks of gun defenses. Then two weeks of knife defences, then two weeks of something else. So it was a cycle. Again, my experience from one gym, in Bulgaria, that might have been above average.

The hands aren't made to hold hamburgers very well.

Lol - Krav Maga is my training, and that leg joke was on point! Haha! Had me in tears!😂

Thanks

I've learned some krav maga in Israel (few different places), and never saw those gunslaps actually. It is either a hammer strike with the gun or (more often) punches, but all the teachers highlighted the point that you should adjust it to the situation and do what's right for the moment.

Same here. Actually I remember also stepping back and racking the slide immediately I believe, maybe only 1 hit after the disarm, but that was many years ago when I was only a kid.

I was given an aluminum training gun by an old time DT instructor. Thing probably weighs a pound and a half and scrapes a layer of skin off every time you put your finger in the trigger guard.

The problem with most martial arts gun disarm techniques is that you’ll probably get shot trying to do them.

He said "with their little Krav Maga feet" 😂😂

At around the 9 minute mark or shortly thereafter, there's a reference to some study about weapon failures in fights. Just curious, what is this study that's being referred to? How would I be able to look that up and read more on the subject?

Personally i like headbutting the shoulder when practicing disarming makes it easier especially when i am smaller than the opponent in muscle mass

I just noticed your statement at the end about arresting a guy with a headboard. And realized you posted the video telling that story not to long ago

Question for those more familiar with how guns work... At 5:05 when they're wrestling for the gun and the "defender" is holding the top of the gun, what would happen if the "attacker" pulled the trigger? I'm imagining significant hand injury from the heat of the weapon, the ejection of the shell, and from the movement of the slide. Is that accurate?

I look at self defense methods as a tree with branches. In any technique there is a start... but depending on what happens you may take a different branch. Never force a technique to be just one way and no matter what happens you must follow the technique through. Situations change in fractions of a second.

Question for Viewers: Legal or nah?

I think legal. He had just committed a bunch of gun crimes, then refusing to show his hands, then going for his shorts is all red flag "armed and dangerous" so you've got your reasonable fear for your life in which that's proportionate especially in light of how the guy pulling a gun would have lead to both you and the suspect being in the line of fire if the rookie had to start blasting. So I think legal, but probably wouldn't fly in the trial-by-media era "Officer Mike sadistically pistol whipped my poor little baby who would never hurt a fly" etc

Good point. I have seen this by alot of schools whereas they have no consideration of the student's safety because punching someone with a gun in your hand will hurt/break your hand or worse make you lose possesion of your gun. Lose your gun lose your life? I would reccomend when you have successfully disarmed them re-rack the gun, point the muzzle on your target while moving at an angle, i.e. 45 degree and increase distance away from the threat while telling them to show them to show their hands and checking your surroundings for other threats. Depending on your role of citizen, police officer, military be cognizant of your State laws or Military rules/regs and rules of engagment because real life gives no shorts. Imagine surviving an engagement only to be arrested because your did not follow your State's self defense laws, or your agencies use of force policies to the letter? Good video, keep posting

I recently found a video by budo Brothers about escaping a headlock and was curious if you would look at some of their stuff as you're a reliable source for self defense and you call it how it is

I was the guy Mike pistol whipped and my lawyer assures me it wasnt legal. Dont worry Mike, youll be hearing the details soon.

"With their little Krav Maga feet" 🤣

As a rookie, back in the 90s, I once chased down a robbery suspect at night in a residential alley. He started to stop and i jumped and put my knee in his back and he fell to the ground. I pistol whipped him with my 682 several times to the head and then...I placed my pistol to my side on the ground... so I could get my cuffs out to cuff him and pull his pistol out of his waistband. I was successful in this stupid technique, but the police helicopter that had arrived on the scene just before my takedown, later showed me the IR film where he stopped and took aim with his pistol (RG 22) in the darkness about 20 seconds before he finally started to stop and I put my knee in his back. The .22 cartridge in the pistol had been hit as evidenced by the indention in the rim. The SW 682 was the perfect pistol whipping weapon and was used many times by me in situations where I knew my physical techniques could save lives. Today's "police", as a rule, get scared and spray and pray. Pathetic.
