This guy has been teaching this for many years, it works. I went through a week long course with these two over 15yrs ago and it was fantastic.

[@tydeusson]

"pressure test". That is the mark of real combative science. That kind of training is exactly the process that produces real live world functional and effective techniques. Well done.

[@FunkerTactical]

tydeusson Absolutely.

[@blammblamm]

@D L So tell me, what's the alternative to MMA-style pressure testing, as in sparring as close to a self defense scenario without risking serious injury? I really can't think of any. Guys in this video should put on some mouthguard and MMA sparring gloves and see how this handle holds up when someone is throwing serious shots to the head. There are also some low profile headguards on the market. Intense MMA-based sparring will take your game way up. How do you "steal" stuff? One of the few things older in human history than armed conflict is unarmed conflict. All that shit has been discovered and rediscovered for milleniums. The human anatomy hasn't changed much and h2h combat isn't rocket science either, so it's kind of hard arguing that any one style invented anything.

[@irondog369]

I’m a former DT Instructor who taught pull the weapon side back and strike/defend with the lead support hand when the bad guy was in the extended arm (medium) range. If he was close range (forearm distance) then palm up “speed rock “ off the hip or a couple of other extreme options. All of these were done in the “mid” phase of the draw. ...and I thought I was the s*#t amongst the old guard DT instructors. But I have to give respect and credit where it is due. BRILLIANT!!! I’m so glad to see we are still evolving. Take it from me, THESE ARE THE BEST TECHNIQUES BEING DONE TODAY. Logical, sound, easy to learn and assimilate into officers skill set, and effective. Proven through fire and all of the “what if” scrutiny of the armchair critics and real operators. Thank you, sir. You just made my year and renewed my faith that we ARE moving forward and getting better than the last generation. -Steven K. former TCLEOSE instructor, former DPS level4 PPO instructor, etc, etc....it ain’t about me, this instructor deserves all of our attention and praise. Respect.

[@ronthompson2366]

Key words ... real life ... the target [at the range] doesn't fight back... practice practice practice... This is great.

[@docnightfall]

If one gets surprised with an attack while the gun still in holster, it seems more sensible to deal with the problem with a full arsenal of emty-handed techniques first to create an opportunity for a safe draw, rather than handicapping yourself by limiting yourself to just elbows and shoving. Then discharge multiple rounds in quick succession until an adequate positive effect is achieved. However, if you get surprised by an attempt at a disarm when you thought you were safe to draw without being interrupted, the G-wrap seems like a useful instinctive response to develop.

[@jakezadorski8323]

The main reason would be a lack of knowledge of openhanded techniques. Plus if your way smaller or weaker than your opponent in an all out brawl even the best BJJ Or martial art wont save you. Force Amplifiers, for when you need to put out more than you can naturally

[@benbraceletspurple9108]

Yes I also believe in strapped gunning and not using a hip holster.

[@anthonyjohnson4734]

docnightfall totally agree

[@pictishbynature1522]

The fun will be popping off which will do more damage that any hand to hand. As soon as space is created all he have to do is drive the gun up and your ready to put rounds down. Also this could work in combination with firing up from cintrolled grio getring rounds in from full control the extended arms. Although it would have to be drilled and drilled. Obviously hand to hand skills are important.

[@pictishbynature1522]

This is interesting. That last bit, about using it to control the weapon on a super close-range shot, kind of reminds me of half-swording techniques that were used to control the blade for more precise attacks to visors and armor joints a long time ago. Weird how weapon usage can be so cyclical...

[@stansenter2660]

Basic unarmed fundamentals used in a sophisticated manner. Close grip baton, staff, half-swording. Not to forget, winding take/strike downs. YOU are the weapon, everything else is an extension thereof.

This is great for simiautos but there still a few of old guys who strap on a 357 at every shift and if I tried this with it it would not fire and if I had the gun hammer back in single action in losing finger or at least mangling them to hell and that takes me out of the fight because now I have so much blood on the weapon it's like it's covered in oil. You will not find a single gun take away on here involving a revolver.

[@user-nh5kf2jg8d]

You guy did a great job on your video. You got to the point and got us into it. Each time you got to a part in your explanation where you show something, your assistant steps right in for the demonstration then back out seamlessly right on que. Like you were being "suddenly attacked" in a casual way for demonstration purposes. I like the way he peeled that stovepipe out before racking.

[@michaelcavener8975]

I am confident that this technique has shown me something that might save my own life. Like the congruence concept . Thanks.

[@davidapple9549]

When it comes to “take always” everything is on the table because your fighting for your life. This is good information on gun retention and worth incorporating into your own close quarter work

[@LoneWarrior.]

As martial artist, boxer and self defense instructor, every time a friend or someone I meet goes to a krav maga class or some other "master" shows them how to take a gun from someone- I show them this video. As an example of how to keep your gun and that taking a gun from someone isn't as easy as the dojo zombies hanging the gun out letting you take it. It also kills me to see firearm instructors trying to teach gun retention when they have ZERO hand to hand combat/self defense experience. This is very good. About the only thing I would add is to really focus on foot work. Many gun wrestling tug of wars end up with the defender on their back from running backwards til they stumble. Or if they are dealing with a larger opponent and get over powered. These guys are a good example. Big dudes who aren't going to respect that line and go toe to toe. You will get run over. Foot work can keep you in the fight. Work on incorporating a pivot after a few steps backwards. Don't run backwards into infinity or you trip or get pinned against something. Pivot, redirect, chamber. Pivot off an elbow strike, chamber. You can still fight on your knees and retain some power in your elbow strikes. But you cant stay there long. This technique will not last long on your back. You remove all elbow strike power and evasiveness from turning your body. Also why you don't want to get pinned against a wall. Keep your feet. Keep your base if on knees. Keep the elbows moving. Think Tasmanian devil of elbows. For everyone, more advantageous for weaker- smaller people, pivot absorbing incoming momentum. The gentlemen in this video were big. They aren't thinking about pivot and evade. Look at the assistant in the video. Big boy. Hes a hammer. All he's thinking is hammer type thoughts. In his mind he's going to be as strong or stronger than most average people. He's coming in straight at you with full force til he gets the gun or you go down. Then he has you. Use that. A few steps back, absorb, quick pivot off an elbow strike to hit or shake him off. Over and over til someone is dead or big boy gets tired. They usually do. No disrespect. Its common. They get winded easily. Lots of real estate to move. Take advantage of that. Anyhow, I could go on. Its such a great video I never get tired of re-visiting. Thank you.

[@Caldor101]

I've seen this method of handling a firearm with Rener Gracie a few years ago. I worked up to shooting live fire and found you might get a minor burn from the election port (no big deal) I learned a bit more by watching this video. When I heard the officer explaining that the gun might be pushed out of battery, I never ran into that and immediately paused the video, unloaded my handgun and found it is true, realistic if you're pushing into the guy or the other guy is pushing into you. Doesn't take much

[@TomasSab3D]

It's like fighting with a spear... the sharp tip is pointed at the opponent using both hands... As long as the tip is pointing at his chest - he can't do anything to win. Just "push it in", with both hands. And shoulders are quite good at blocking the chin. While the forehead itself can break some knuckles...

[@alexandercardozasanchez9964]

In close combat, with a enemy breathing on you This tecnique is absolutly VALID !

[@alexandercardozasanchez9964]

Excelent, part of that tecnique I learned from the US Marshalls back in 1986 at Camp Beauregard, we were taught to complement with kicks but adding the hand and elbows, it's simply wonderful in a matter of weapon retention and self integrity ! Costa Rica Law Enforcement commander .

[@lowkicker1971]

really interesting! would like to see how the concept deals with it if the bad guy decides to take the gunman down... his both hands are strongly bound to the gun and the position of the forearms in relation to each other are pretty ununseful for a good sprawl so chances are he will go down hard. there might be a good chance to separate the hands and get a chance to go for the gun...

[@TheHairOfElendil]

👍👍 The push kick is an under utilized tool as well. I've found it to be very effective in creating the distance needed to draw.

I was in a similiar situation one time during my Law Enforcement career. Obviously, I won, but it was the longest, most draining minute and a half in my life. I honestly thought that the fight lasted at least five minutes. I didn't have this training, but I did have enough training, and fear, to come out on top. Most of all, don't panic.

[@XoJOHNoX96]

Problem I see with this, is still in that heat of the moment, one small mistake, you shoot your hand regardless.

[@EphemeralF]

Agreed. You are also still stopping the slide in chambering another round. Soo same problems on either method. None are really improving in regards to handlers dafety in my opinion.

Better you just graze your hand than the first method they abandoned by shooting the bones. Affecting the structure of your hand

Love the videos from Funker Tactical! Gotta say, as someone who has taught weapon retention and defensive tactics for many years, this "G-Wrap" looked pretty good. Aggressive, forward motion to defeat an ambush is how I was taught in the Army. This is the same thing. I like it, a lot. Thanks, Sgt Gulla! The bonus features were great, also. Common sense techniques that keep you balanced and in tight, controlling your movement. I'm going to do some experimentation and see how it works 2 on 1, also.

[@j.v.7451]

What about that center axis relock. This is the situation it was designed for and has the same elbow defence this uses. Also allows for multiple shots instead of one. I know it's all John Wick cool and whatnot but you don't run the risk of shooting yourself in the hand with it, which was the first thing I thought when I saw this demo.

[@brianstramel9499]

I agree that a passive retention position is asking for trouble. I use a higher pec-index combined with offensive striking. That said, this technique looks sound and they did a great job presenting it, something for me to explore further...

[@10laws2liveby]

Well thought out.

[@zshakur]

Interesting concept. One glaring problem with the technique is how high the elbow of the muzzle grabbing arm is. Gives some one with some knowledge too much leverage to attack your posture. That being said, I REALLY like the idea. I'm sure you guys are still tweaking things here and there but it seems pretty effective. That live sparring in the beginning was very convincing. Great video gentlemen.

[@MrXUndeadNinja]

I think thats why he said pull with the firing arm so you keep the weapon in battery in case if you need to react with a shot if you deploy this technique on someone and they start doing work on your core you still have a 9 in their mouth but he pointed out that one draw back is time to react and possible light injury (burning/removing a finger) so yeah if you were fighting someone who is really fast and skilled in leverage fighting then hopefully your partner is in a position to help (provided you have one)

Excellent advice n technique n video. Makes so much sense IMHO as that's a critical area that has always endangered LEOs n CCW holders. Very similar to what method we were taught while with as IDF paratrooper n weapon retention. Only difference being a throat strike or grab, but this technique is proven to work practical in most situations. Every LEOs should know these techniques IMHO. Without training n practice, you'll only use under stress what n how you were trained. Most officers n soldiers will fight n resist how they were trained.

[@benjaminhiggs4740]

Good stuff guys! Thanks!

[@Forwardoperationbase]

very interesting .

[@Raunadraug]

Seems like a solid tool. But it's just that: one tool. I wouldn't rely on it solely. If your gun isn't already in play when shit gets physical, you're more likely to lose it on the draw. If you've got no choice and the dude's on top of you and you gotta go for the gun to stop them from ending you - this looks like a good plan A. I still feel like responding to violence with greater force and then trying to put distance between you before drawing is your best case scenario.

[@FunkerTactical]

Raunadraug One tool. Agreed.

[@mfro4422]

I agree. I think that this technique needs to be tested in a few officer involved shootings (sadly) to really test it but it seems really well thought out. Just to be clear, I don't want any shootings but I think they're bound to occur.

[@machetecortez7938]

+ We did not count the fact that the enemy could have a knife or any other short melee weapon.

[@MrXUndeadNinja]

he touched on that when he was talking about being in an offensive position with your elbows if your smacking the bad guy in the side of the head with one elbow after another then hopefully your putting enough umph in it that he reacts and starts to worry about the elbows instead of your gut

[@artist_with_a_gun]

This is very interesting. He might be on to something. As far as i can tell this makes a lot of sense. The only thing i could say is that you'll only get 1 shot off at best. Racking a slide while under attack in close retention is gonna be super hard.

[@Chevron.Muskoka]

Jacob Carmona brings back the revolver argument too. in close quarters it sure doesnt take mich pressure to push a slide out of battary. this technique is the first strong argument for those concerns

[@johnnelson4440]

Marty Ross The flip side of that coin is that a good grip on a revolver can keep you from even getting one shot off. The trigger mechanism doesn’t have a lot of leverage to turn the cylinder. It can easily be stopped. Try it.

[@stonewall-mz7yl]

Don’t forget shooting your own hand by trying to grab the barrel while being shoved, punched, or kicked. I urge everyone to take some basic jiujitsu/Judo (no gi) self defense stand up. It helps get you off line of an assault.

[@charlesratcliff2016]

Thank you for this wisdom!!! This is a must watch

[@thforres]

To be honest, my first reaction to a fight is not to go to my gun. Having a grappling background (Judo, BJJ, Aikido, Wrestling) I want to make space, even my striking background (Karate, Kenpo, Muay Thai) says to control the distance. I'm going to be very careful about drawing my firearm until I can get some space to do so. Still, it's good to be prepared for the possibility that I might have to fight for my gun, so this is good to know. I might need to practice this with my airsoft pistol and a partner.

[@WarGrrl3]

I'm a tactical guy and a lot of tac guys never touch on the impractical stuff I love this thanks

[@FightHACKS]

I couldn't get past the first scenario, because I fail to see why he's drawing at danger close distance? What is the threat? The example he's gives is the fight is in and the attacker goes for his gun, therefore he draws it? That doesn't make any sense. The safest place for your gun in that situation is in the holster. You fight, until you create enough of a gap to get your gun in the fight safely.The only thing that might change this is the introduction of a weapon on the attackers end, but even then, fighting to control and disarm at that distance is probably the better option.

[@FunkerTactical]

FightHACKS ---- Now try commenting after you've watched the ENTIRE video. -GN

[@FightHACKS]

Funker Tactical - Fight Training Videos Watched the whole video, again, I fail to see why the officer is drawing his weapon at this distance against an unarmed attacker? The technique you guys actually criticize, the "rock and lock" is legitimate, given the proper scenario, where a suspect at close distance presents a weapon. Another aspect of the technique is getting your shots off simultaneously creating distance or better yet, if possible, create distance before deploying your weapon. I'm not saying that the technique in this video isn't valid, but the scenario presented lacks the proper level of force and sound tactical decision making.

[@imbackihope]

FightHACKS Most officers rely on their firearm than their empty hand skills under stress when that adrenaline starts pumping. A firearm is looked at as the ultimate survival tool with the least amount of effort to end a threat, and the best tool to prevent a threat from attacking in some situations. And also the least risky tool to use to save you. As in Your more Willing To Get Involved to save someone or yourself, If You Know you Have a firearm on your person. But I agree. I wouldn't draw my firearm or make an attempt to draw it if I'm that close to my attacker. Especially if the attacker has a knife. But then again, an actual knife holding threat isn't gonna present his knife. He's gonna keep it hidden until he decides to start stabbing with it. All the more reason I'll trust my hands over my gun within that close range.

[@roninpride]

FightHACKS exactly I'm not a martial artist or a police officer by why take your safely holstered weapon out and introduce into a risky environment where it has a 50/50 chance of getting taken. I would rather use the baton technique he showed. Or better yet draw your fixed blade knife/ice pick and put it the homicidal maniac's eye, ear or throat.

[@miniapplesun]

What if that had been a woman or officer of smaller stature? They may not have the skill, power or size to make space and fight him (or them) off. I've seen dashcam vids of officers getting totally over-run by determined attackers even when getting shot. Think of it as a skill rather than a tactic.

edi I noticed this to. I was training with my buddy with this new tactic. We both noticed if the attacker is just purely trying to grab the gun, he is NEVER gonna get it with this tactic. But then we decided how would we defend against this? To find its weak points and maybe work on them to help build this new tactic even further. Well what we both would do often is as u said, once the elbows started flying, we both parried the elbows and got behind each other back pretty quick. if the elbows was committed. We used the forearm to block the elbow then used the free hand to grab behind the arm that's throwing the elbow by going over the elbow arm and just pulled and backed up a bit.

[@andrewgelpump]

interesting. without a training partner, or even having trained this technique, i'd imagine you could either turn back towards your opponent, once turned, to recover your guard. if grabbed from behind, you could bring the firearm across the body for a shot to the person on the back. but overall, this is a fight for the weapon. if you're unarmed and give space to someone with the gun, you'd better run. if you take his back, what control do you have over his firearm?

[@EXECUTIVE_LUCKY]

As long as your footwork is sound, your driving forward while elbowing, and bench pressing the grabs, you should effectively control the weapon until space to effectively dispatch is made.

Good stuff

[@paulkucia187]

Excellent new tactics. I Love the way you change tactics as your people learn what's happening on the street. Great job Guys. Keep up the good work. What about adding knees to this technique?

[@paulkucia187]

If you use your right knee it would in theory bring the aggressors head down and allow a slight movement forward with lead elbow leading to a shot. Correct or incorrect?

[@ChaBarry]

I wouldn't know. Maybe the person in charge of this tactical channel would be able to give you the answer.

[@DrTech-pw2cu]

This looks like a good idea to me.

What if the opponent grabs both wrists or if you go down/fall over, receive a strike with an object over the hands/wrists Also, multiple opponents or civilians in proximity? I'm not hatin' on it, I'm intrigued and wish for it to be pushed to the limits of its concept.

[@leozanna2861]

Nicklas Törngren If a person grabs your wrists that means they are in front of you. Guess where the gun is pointing and guess the result.

[@nicklastorngren5456]

i'm guessing the direction of the wrist which means they probably just fired a weapon sideways, in an unknown direction and might have killed or injured an innocent bystander or colleague?

[@YuLiQigong]

Question: If there is a front sight on the pistol, would firing the weapon cause it to damage the grasping hand?

[@Tvis666]

Since you hold the slide tight, it should not move, therefor you should not injure your hand with a front sight. Depending on the gun you might burn your hand though.

[@timmason2556]

YuLiQigong i have used a sim tec my self and i keep grip tape on the top of my slide bc while your fighting you might not get a good grip and sight will chew you up. that said your fighting for your life. whats a cut compared to death

[@fusagatan]

I have been doing somthing like this for years, but i place the hand below the barrel. Its part of the CAR system, taught by Paul Castle. We learned to use our elbows and also did exercises in control and clearing jams.

[@Pennconst101]

We actually use this technique at the krav club i train at. It's very effective as long as you are aggressive as hell with your elbows and are fighting. I have the hardest time retaining the weapon when I'm in a more defensive/ getaway mindset. The other thing that's very important keep in mind is if they are determined to get that weapon there's a good chance you're going to the ground. I really recommend training on that point alone if you're timid about the ground or if you have any afraid to fall issues. I needed to train keeping my retention while actively falling how best to position my body to fall and then what is my game plan on the ground. Great video

[@MegaRgallardo]

Learn how to fight, putting hands on people should be just as important as carrying a firearm. MMA, Muay Thai, BJJ and stay in decent shape.

[@eko2633]

Best comment. Where i came from nearly nobody carry fire arm. Even more Important to learn how to fight

[@codyjamessingleton5098]

The entire point is that a single bullet will completely invalidate whatever training you think makes you a badass. So this is strictly the method of staying on the smart side of a firestick

[@MegaRgallardo]

@@codyjamessingleton5098 Still rather Thai clinch give them the knees that keep on giving or some elbows disengage create space then present firearm. If they are that close drawing to me feels like a bad idea especially if they are unarmed. Just my two cents

@@codyjamessingleton5098 your Right. Gun is gun. But as you can see in the video you can not draw it Allways. You can not carry it with you where ever you go. Gun is a gun but your hands are allways everywhere you will ever go or be. So make them to a weapon not as deadly as a gun but could be dangerous as hell with right Training.

You don’t want to go forward with elbows once u created separation. Create more space. Give him commands to stand down if he doesn’t comply then asta la vista baby.

This structure is called the "jade ring" used in weapon retention among late Ming dynasty martial arts in China. Whether its a sword, crossbow, or pistol, this is not only sound, but has historic basis as well. What works is universal.
