SouthNarc’s Favorite GUN DISARM | Craig Douglas of ShivWorks

[@maxwhitman1878]

“Are you stupid!?” “I am... that’s why I’m getting robbed”. LOL 😂 😂. That’s the best part of this video.

[@adambrackston3471]

Best way: Hand over your wallet and when the thief is shocked at how little money is in it go for the disarm.

[@Hibernicus1968]

@@drg4664 In most cases, you are correct. If I were suddenly in this situation, I'd give the guy my money. However in some scenarios, you might have to try it. For example, if the bad guy tries to force you to go somwhere, you are probably better off trying something like this. Or if he knows you are armed (because you are carrying openly -- not something I think is wise, but that's another debate), and he is attempting to disarm you, you may need to try it. Or if he is threatening your family, you may need to try it. Attempting a disarm when someone is pointing a gun at you is really a last resort, when you are reasonably certain he's going to kill you anyway at some point. If he just wants your money, give him your money, it's not worth your life.

This is the only close encounter teacher I take serious on KZbin (I do not claim to know all of them). That gun retention was great and this is too. He looks slow and is fast and has the timing. And not in a Bruce Lee way we can never reach but like it makes sense to learn that too.

[@Wisechannel12]

I was basically raised on Craig’s systems in my law Enforcement career. Made those teachings part my permanent toolbox collection. He teaches simplicity and efficiency. Glad to see he’s getting out there and spreading his know how. Informative video. Thank you for your time.

[@davewolf8869]

"I am! That's why I'm getting robbed!" Love you guys XD

[@SwordFighterPKN]

Good to see someone teaching the old ways of doing this stuff. This is the type of stuff I was taught almost 30 years ago from old cops and martial artist. John it was good to see you kept your finger out of that trigger, having one broken via a disarm is bad.

Hi Kim!!

[@jblewis8061]

This is great content Im glad to see you guys collaborating. My wife and I attended Craig's ecqc class. I love his teaching and training. Very real and practical and extremely effective no fluff. Im 6 2" 250 during the course of the class Craig used me alot for demonstrations. Being the strongest there didn't matter. Craig flung me around like a rag doll and my wife agrees. Size or strength doesn't matter with His training technique any one will be very effective, it just "WORKS" !!! Everything flows together seamlessly. My wife and I highly recommend anyone who's seriouse about protecting themselves and loved ones take his ECQC course. I promise you WILL NOT REGRET IT! Thanks John for the video Im looking forward to training with you very soon. And attending what ever you and Craig will be doing in the future.

[@simplycargo4187]

He’s a little... TOO good at playing the “bad guy”...

[@bobsmith9261]

Just found this channel and what I love about John is that as a newbie to this sort of topic (i.e. I live in Canada and have never been "gun lover" but always a supporter of gun rights) is that even with John's wealth of knowledge, experience and skills, he looks and sounds like somebody like me or somebody that I would normally hang out with. I am sorry if that generalizes or plays on stereotypes, but, the reality is that those who claim to be in support of super strict gun regulations do generalize and play to a stereotype that is clearly NOT the reality. More individuals like John can certainly make a difference to people's perception of gun rights and where they should be/stay. Keep it up...I will be watching!

Great video John I've never commented on any of your videos but I've seen and watched every one of them and you're the only one I take to heart and I practice and train with, I absolutely believe in your skills and believe as a martial artist that your skills are the best life-saving skills anybody can learn by watching a video.. you keep it simple straight and to the poin, no shit involved nothing to weed through just straight advice to The Watcher and you leave it up to them to use or to excuse.. I personally use your advice in training all the way down to the simplest aspect of combat whether it be how to transition your rifle sling to your off hand or properly pulling out your sidearm and how to properly transition into utilizing your secondary blaster ....great video brother as always, your videos are unlike any others on KZbin I'll follow you to hell and back. Because I truly believe you'll get us there and back in one piece your advice is one in a million keep it up brother you're not only doing the regular man a favor but you're doing God's work by giving life-saving advice with no thrills... may God bless you and your family stay safe out there brother

The gun will fire once, then be jammed and need to be cleared. Hopefully that shot is not into your head!

I did some digging out of curiosity - channel memberships do not yet work on iOS devices. Here is the workaround: Become a channel member Join a participating channel membership on the main KZbin site and app. Visit youtube.com or open the KZbin app. Go to the channel of, or a video uploaded by, the creator you'd like to support and see if they have enabled memberships on their channel. Click or tap Join. Follow the prompts to enter your payment information. Click or tap Buy. You’ll see a welcome announcement once your transaction is complete. When you have an active paid membership, you will be automatically charged at the start of each monthly billing cycle. Currently, you cannot become a member on the KZbin iOS app. However, all of the features will be visible on iOS once your membership is activated on the KZbin desktop or KZbin app on other devices.

well most robbers aren't good robbers, so i think i see what he was going for and trying to simulate what you would likely come across in the real world. but yeah i agree, a good robber would probably do exactly what john said in the intro a robber won't do and keep some distance (assuming he is armed with a pistol in that scenario)

[@jaredkarns6663]

I have been through ecqc with Craig, and yes he can. Have trained it up exactly like you said and it is doable. But training is the key. Well worth the time and money.

[@TTGLL]

Craig is legit, had some of his training second hand admittedly but still solid gold. The hand is quicker than the eyes and actions beat reactions every time. The shooters 00DA loop must close on your movement before his brain can send a signal to pull the trigger on you by then if done correctly he has lost control of the situation and your gone with a new gun😀

[@bryanw4582]

Minnesota Guy he did make the point the guy wasn’t a murderer or he would have already shot you. Given that, you should be able to get offline well before his brain switches from robber to murderer

very good a principle to run with, move out of the line of fire as you grab the gun. get your hands close to the gun while you are talking pure brillance.

[@johnnyk3ma948]

I love the realistic approach. The first 2 disarms would absolutely work. The 3rd is possible. There’s a high risk of getting back into the line of Fire. Redirecting the gun going RIGHT with the grip palm facing inward and his left hand pulling the arm with the gun to the LEFT when he’s still in the middle isn’t the best thing to do. It’s contradicting movements. 4:24. If the threat were to his side or behind him would work. Again first 2 solid on delivery and explanation.
