A lot of martial arts incorporates firearms and disarming when you get to higher belts. So depending on where you train if you stick with it long enough to learn the foundation you’ll get to learn a lot of these techniques

You may only need empty hand combative skills, or you may only need your gun, but people have been wrestling around with weapons for millennia. A handgun may be a projectile/range weapon, but we live in a face to face contact world. Civilians aren’t walking around on red alert in a war zone. Even the military is finding itself fighting in urban structures and such on the modern battlefield. Regardless, as CCW permit holders, we should all know the stats on the ranges that shootings occur at. It’s probably a good idea to know how to access/defend from weapons in a tussle, and not just train martial arts *or* shooting. Craig’s the man for that kind of material-thanks for the video, looking forward to more!

Can't recommend his classes enough. If you can get to his classes, or even better, he's even remotely close to your area, take the class. I've had numerous friends new to the world of realizing you are responsible for your own safety and those you love. No one will be there to help you if someone starts some dumb fight. I've told all of them that taking Craig's class is a huge eye opener and will put them down a good path. Even if you aren't a "gun guy" Craig's classes are invaluable.

I attended one of Craig's Amis classes (armed movement in structures). Learned sooooo much, I'm so glad I had the opportunity to attend. And Craig is a funny and cool guy to chat with. being the new guy and they all thought I was 19.. I was 27-30 don't exactly recall, but i look young. They gave me the tinted face mask, during the second half of the class where we had to sweep a structure in the dark. They all got kick out of it. needless to say I shot at every silhouette, which sadly included my mock wife who was hostage in that scenario, dead between the eyes.

@angrychickin4 жыл бұрын
First of all I have to say that I love his mentality and really appreciate his approach. However, I also have to say from over a decade of experience (and anyone who has wrestled will agree) that a tie-up with anyone close to your skill level and strength is really exhausting. This is why you have to have to have to know how to insert hits from any of those positions. They literally and figuratively knock your adversary down a few pegs (depending on how good you are and how many hits you land). It makes everything so much easier. I love wrestling but I don't love constricting myself (or anyone) to a singular platform.

The problem is that if you attempt a strike you may sacrifice control and allow them to get a knife or gun.

And that includes giving them access to your own weapons. As shown in some other videos in close quarters the assailant has nearly as much access you your weapon as you do. More access if they know how to grapple and you don't.

@@pahwraith When dealing with someone who has a knife you have to close distance and wrestle. Greco-Roman is the best for this because it is simple movements and allows you to control a standing opponent. People throw out wrestling, but it is the basics of all MMA. Mau thai is great and all. But 75% of it is thrown out in a street fight. You should look at combatives to get a better idea of why.

This was a very informative video though I did have one main issue throughout. I do understand there was probably info left out as this is a public forum. but if someone actually did reach for and was able to get their hand on your weapon is there anything to block or prevent them from simply pulling the trigger as opposed to trying to directly remove it from you? To clarify I would imagine if someone did try to take your weapon they would try just that, to take it, and I would imagine they could get their hand on it and possibly move it a little before you can do that arm block, so before you get their arm locked or even just after why wouldn't the person simply try firing the weapon, with the intent of hitting your leg, etc? Anyway, great vid. Thanks....

Well this is a gun fight. You suffocate and control a gun. With a knife you’d want to circle away from sharpened side the blade, if both sides are sharp or it’s a double ended weapon you back away facing the assailant while turning to one side or the other. This of course, is generalizing the attack. But my point is, gun shoots far... get close and either take it away, control the hand or force them to empty the clip on the ground/sky... knives stab and slice, stay away and if you find yourself perpendicular or behind... hit them with combative until the threat is neutralized. Neutral being integral, bc if you hit unnecessarily hard or too many times you can incur legal ramifications.

I'm by no means crapping on the Greco-Roman wrestling, it certainly works, especially with someone that knows how to use it. But I will suggest also taking a look at how the samurai would work in a similar situation. They didn't have the benefit of moving like wrestlers, seeing as they were wearing armor that weighed as much as they did, but the most successful methods that survived the warfare was getting the opponent where they couldn't do anything, and then killing them. There are actually lineages that had sword draws, while the opponent was already falling to the ground, and broken.
