Vaush, I took martial arts for several years, and the number one rule that I was taught when fighting against someone with a gun, was "DONT"

[@DaveGrean]

I've watched self-defense videos online for several hours, and I was taught the same thing. Same with knives, actually. The universal sentiment seemed to be 'In a real life fight, if the other person has a knife, you WILL get seriously hurt regardless of how much more skilled you are than your opponent, so fleeing is always the best option.' So basically my self-defense technique is having a knife on me at all times and hoping any possible assailant agrees with the guys from the videos, lmao And hope they're unarmed, I guess At any rate here in Europe I don't have to worry too much about guns. I've never even seen a gun in real life except in a cop's holster. And luckily cops aren't as trigger happy here as overseas, either

[@dishonoredundead]

Police/professionals/I don't know FBI whoever made these claims that sound about right to me; if you think someone is going to abduct you, or kill you, don't let them put you in the car. You're better off dying, or taking your best shot there, because once you're in the car you have no chance. There is some chance they wont fire at you in front of witnesses, and it would make the whole point unnecessary to just kill you beforehand and might let you go to minimize emergency response. But once you're in their car, or worse, you stand no chance. I will also state that this guy is built for grappling, ask anyone who did wrestling these body types are sob's because you can't get their arms away from their stubby bodies.

Doubt you're a 2nd degree blackbelt of any school of actual quality, maybe a mcdojo with some kids.

@@atticuspappin2504 You would definitely shoot yourself before that finger was broken though, almost positive.

I think this is taking the pistol vs knife engagement problem to a whole different level, where you need so much time and so much distance in order to react and have a chance. But in this case being the gunman is just much faster than being unnarmed 9 out of 10 times in these close quarter scenarios.

Rarely do they follow the steps in the video properly, and their clear objective is to make it look super dumb, so they put in no actual effort.

​@@jirkazalabak1514 - I know it's not an effort problem as far as the technique working or not, but it is an effort problem as far as the objective of the video goes. Like someone could demonstrate in a video how to kick a ball. Then I try to recreate it, but in a way that's lazy and making fun of it, so I put the ball down, and then the ball rolls away, and then I do a goofy sideways kick and only just skim the ball and it all goes terribly. I think a number of viewers could see it like that. They're wondering if more effort was put in and if they followed the steps correctly, maybe it would work... In reality I know the techniques are ridiculous 99.9999% of the time, though not everyone does. The videos don't fulfil their objective. Putting in more effort also just makes the video more entertaining. It's fun to see people actually trying, to pull something off that just doesn't work lol.

[@lucythebrazen]

I mean in military training I did learn how to disarm someone that points a pistol at you at close range, as we had about 40h of training on how to disarm people carrying handguns/knives. The point of all of this is doing that in less than a few hundred milliseconds, since human reaction time, in instances like that is 200+ ms. You gotta place one hand at his wrist, and slap at the gun with the other hand as hard as you can. If you are fast and well trained you might also manage to grab it in the process. But the most important part is getting yourself out of the trajectory. And in that case the highest goal is to get the gun out of their hands, getting it yourself is absolutely secondary. That's why you don't want to be in arms reach of someone you try to subdue. The biggest issue with training like this is that you either can make it realistic enough that you learn how to do it, while risking injury, or you do it like it is shown in the video where it might look badass, but won't help you much. But in the end, this isn't much more than a neat party trick you can pull of with friends to show off.

[@edscmidt5193]

Being in military combat is the only time to try it, since you are going to get shot either way probably

[@lnplum]

Let's be realistic. If you're in the military and in a situation where you can actually use this training, it's probably your last ditch attempt to not be executed because you fucked up so badly you ended up in this situation. So it doesn't matter if it works 5% of the time or 95% of the time because the alternative is the same as failure.

I actually got choked out by it during a sparring session by mistake, so I have absolutely no doubt that it works. As for biting, it really depends. If you bite in a symbolic way, not even penetrating the skin, most people won´t let go. If you actually manage to tear out a piece of flesh though, most people will let go at least a little bit.

[@cammiescorner]

So I was looking at the kidnapping one closer and I thought for a moment they were using an actual technique for breaking someone's grip at the thumb... and no, no they weren't. Their fingers were nowhere near the part of the hand you would press down on to break a grip. The proper spot to press on to break someone's grip on something is just above the webbing between the index finger and thumb. If you press there, you can completely restrict the thumb's movement as well as straightening it, allowing you to break the grip. This, of course, would not prevent someone from punching you with their other hand, or just coming back in for round 2. It's a cool party trick, but rarely useful for self-defence.

Then I'll whip the gun right out of his hands before he can get a shot off. Then to fully subdue him I'll.......I'll........wait.......why am I on the ground? And why am I bleeding?"

[@luismurillo5855]

LOL OMG I bet anything this guy just watched the CQC from the Metal Gear Solid games and decided to make an entire channel about it

[@everise3439]

I’m probably a real nerd, but we actually practice similar gun self defences in karate. You should never use them if the person holding the gun is farther than a foot from you. The self defences are also a last resort. Always give them your possessions etcetera first.

[@everise3439]

Addendum: I don’t think anyone can learn a self defence from a KZbin video. We practice the movements over and over hundreds of times. They become second nature and very fast. We are told never to use these defences unless the situation is life or death. Always give them your wallet keys etc. first. I would never use one of these techniques unless I believed my life or my child’s or loved one’s life was at stake. Also the best self defence is not to be there in the first place.

[@chocolatedoughnut1305]

This guy is how 13 y/o me thought I would react if I got attacked

[@frocco7125]

These guys have a brilliant business model. They can't get many negative reviews, cuz all the people who the "training" didn't work for are dead.

[@NexusLives]

It's like he's a failed action movie choreographer.

[@Ostnizdasht206]

This is some Steven Seagal level shit right here.

[@MarkSoupial]

Make sure your disarm stat is at least 17, and always circle-strafe

[@syndipirate2598]

I legitimately thought his insignia was the scp symbol 🤣

[@hannajung7512]

They should do this with water pustoles filled with paint... Only if you get out without a spot you survived. But probably then people would realize that none of this works

[@thejudge1728]

You're actually not supposed to be stretching your arms out towards the target with a gun, your best option is keeping it close to your body. There are ways to disarm people that have a marginal chance of you not dying (though, you probably shouldn't try that without a bulletproof vest) that rely on the other person doing that.

[@Nerobyrne]

so basically this is "step 1: find a moron"

[@fentonmulley5895]

Sorry gun disarms are all bs. Try some real martial arts bro. If your sensei is out of shape, he is full of crap. Muai Thai and judo(jiu jitsu) are the only functional martial arts.

[@leviathan0232]

I immediately subbed to this guy when I saw the video of him grabbing the slide. Fucking hours of comedic content 🤣

[@claytoncook731]

The ol' Fight, Flight, Freeze, Cry, or Cringe response

[@samwilson7044]

you see my self defence tactic is flawless works every-time for every situation, I simply have snipers trained at various positions through out the city that track my movements and watch me from afar so in the instance of a mugging i give a subtle signal to eliminate the threat

[@justinholliday9979]

You ever watched Kung Pow: Enter the Fist? "I can grab the claw and knock him out with a spinning back kick or I can take the claw to the face, roll around on the ground and die."

[@DigitalWraith]

I actually successfully disarmed someone who held me at gunpoint. It was the most terrifying thing I've ever done. And any mistake on my part could have definitely ended differently. Vaush is right, the best thing you should do is comply. But there were certain reasons why I fought back. Though, with a clear mind, now I think those reasons weren't really justified or valid.

[@curvingfyre6810]

Thats the sort of story worth hearing, if youre willing to tell it

[@aloreantherogue4439]

I like to imagine that the reason why the channel has just so many subscribers but so low views is that everyone is getting killed trying to do these shit defensive tactics.

[@aidanwarren4980]

Would love to see any of these disarms tried with a paintball gun, and the guy holding the gun actually trying to shoot you.

[@ArgaJacint]

A Nerf gun would be better for testing. Paintball guns would cause serious damage up close, potentially even bleeding.

[@aintsleptinninetyyears3621]

Personally, my favored self defense strategy is to paint a tunnel on a wall and wait for my aggressor to ram himself into it.

[@Baelor-Breakspear]

It’s the fingerless gloves that really make me believe this guy is legit.

[@kaziem]

This was my favorite stun lock ever. I need a tactical solution to laughing my ass of for half an hour now.

[@tionodese8110]

The kidnapping thing is also weird because like, where is he planning to take that kid? All the kid has to do is go limp while the mom attacks the kidnapper, no need to break his grip or whatever he's literally got nowhere to go.

[@RudeGamer1988]

It's the way that these guys are falling over after being pushed in the face a little bit that gets me!

[@fedos]

I was going to say that it's OK to try this if you're Neo, but then I remembered that Neo doesn't have to dodge bullets.

He has the power of God and Anime on his side.

Definitely God because it's damn miracle he hasn't been injured from his own advice.

[@biskitboi2476]

"I lay corrected" lmao

[@stuartsmith4369]

The loose grip on the gun might be to keep from getting fingers broken by the disarm. Even if it wouldn't work in real life, it could still cause a sprain or dislocation when the gun is a prop.

[@officechairpotato]

Vaush endorses the Captain America strategy. ("Can you pull over, I think i'm going to be sick." -> steals car.).

[@darthmaulification215]

There's actually some truth to the whole "Tactical Pants Shitting" (Can't believe that's a real sentence I've typed out), but in the context of a kidnapping, I read somewhere that pissing yourself is an option when it comes to dissuading a potential kidnapper. Or at least grossing them out enough to run away lol. Regardless, the Bodily Fluid Weaponization seems like a solid way to perform any type of defense maneuver.

[@jasminecats1370]

This was so hilarious and I really needed a good laugh

[@DigGil3]

"Are those throwing knives? If you've got one just throw it my way."

[@15walkingaway]

Vaush Daddy needs to make more reaction videos like this. He's pretty funny

[@bibsp3556]

I saw "shit pants and discombobulate" and i'm dying thinking of it as part of that sequence.

[@bastmode882]

This was a really great video. Gave me some big laughs.

[@mikeyahl7363]

That Forgotten Firearms meme is just golden. The RPG warhead is just as good.

[@thcrimsnfckr9704]

20:20 forgotten weapons and vaush never thought I'd see the day

[@tionodese8110]

The idea that you can pull a gun out of someone's hand using your armpit is hilarious.

[@ASolidSnack]

"I'll call you a hearse. This is for Cody."

[@LDIndustries]

Jamming your finger between the hammer and where it strikes is a surefire method to DESTROY whichever finger you jammed in there.

[@Robb3636]

True, but if it stops you from being shot in the head/chest it might be better

[@LDIndustries]

@@Robb3636 That's the thing, it's not guaranteed to. That's the whole point of this!!! NONE OF THESE THINGS HAVE A HIGHER THAN LIKE 1 IN 100 CHANCE OF ACTUALLY HELPING! They're far more likely to just escalate violence and then you die.

[@EmmaSpAce111]

that guy watched like ONE gunslinger anime and thought "This isn't exaggerated for cinematic purposes"

[@Cartman4wesome]

4:41 somebody actually did that once when at the bank in Brazil. He whimpered, dropped his valuables, went behind cover and then immediately began shooting the robber dead.

[@jaren12072]

Moist Critical and some of his pals actually met with this guy. They did a bunch of scenarios with him, and his techniques actually worked most of the time. He also said they should be your last option and if the attacker wants something to give it to them instead. He's actually a really nice dude and responded well to the criticism.

[@Korvmannen]

I see a major issue here with these disarms... People unconsciously and reflexively tighten their fists when adrenaline is pumping, and trying to disarm the gun from someone might actually make them shoot accidentally just because it caused them to clench their finger on the trigger. And to add to that, the brain does treat things that you are using as a tool basically like it's an extension of your body, and the mugger's brain will try to pull the gun back as if it was his hand almost. We would be kinda bad in hunting situations and warfare if we instantly loosened our grip of weapons as soon as we got startled. Even though they may not consciously have the time to react, the subconscious motor system doesn't need thoughtful intention to act, and rather just follow "basic programming" and reacts before you even are aware of what is going on (there's a considerable lag between seeing/feeling something and it entering your mind, I saw some estimate of ~120 ms between seeing and being able to act consciously). When you get startled you react before you know what's going on, that's the unconscious and faster type of motor reactions that we have. Fun anecdote about that though, once in the school cafeteria a fight broke out between me and another person as I was putting butter on a sandwich (standing up, both of us). She grabbed my hair from behind before I could react, and in that situation it was quite panicked and I tried to throw whatever punch I could. The principal eventually came to break up the fight, and as he pulled myself and her in our clothes out of the cafeteria I realized, "Oh, lol, I had the [plastic] butter knife in my hand the whole time" and tried to, as discreetly as I could, place it down on a bench on the way out. Her line of defense was something like "I just defended myself! He started it! I have butter all over my clothes now!" I sort of lose the ability to speak when in tense situations, but she had other issues so the principal understood the situation and just replied to her "Do you think he thinks it's fun? He also has butter on him." The only consequence for me after that was only that my father got notified that I had been in a fight, but nothing else, the next day everything was just back to normal... With clean clothes of course. If someone is robbing you, just concede. That's the sigma move anyway. Trying to act macho is what betas do.

[@fentonmulley5895]

The ultimate secret techniques are stored in the belly. Bigger bunt more secret moves.

[@fishandwhistle1516]

14:40 Interestingly enough I remember seeing a video of police being trained in jiu jitsu by the Gracies, and they talked about wrapping your non-dominant hand around the slide of a gun to keep someone from taking it from you, since you can still fire at least one round before having to back up and rack the slide again

[@greatesthits8293]

The fingerless gloves are tactical AF

[@arp2303]

Remember when running someone’s pockets; knees straight, arm as far out as possible, limp wristed, and always have reaction time of a 15.5 yo blind and deaf dog

[@neco9590]

Also, TIL: Guns can only be used in close combat, within the range of my hands. If someone threatens me with a gun from a distance of more than 1 m, I am legally allowed to leave!

[@patrickpanda8374]

22:11 this is called the Anthrax technique- basically just pretend you are in a mosh pit.

[@raccoonking7566]

I see my tactical self defense style failed... It's only because I forgot my pocket carry Oerlikon cannon chambered in 7.65 French Long.

[@pssurvivor]

reminds of that funny self defense video where the man grabs the chin of his attacker to disarm him and that one got memed so hard

[@DaveGrean]

this whole time i was laughing thinking 'shouldn't they focus on more realistic things, like knives and bludgeons? they're only doing things with guns, when the fuck are you ever going have a gun pointed at you in real life? so ridiculous' then i remembered oh wait these people live in the us

[@dolores111]

Mugging is like rock paper scissors. If they have a gun you loose

[@logichaver5642]

Finally Vaush and I completely agree about something

[@Anon-dh7pg]

Every one of thes turns to mad flailing if the person with a gun takes a step back

[@redlightmax]

5:35 "The other opportunity is you have to make them laugh with bravado." Bruce Willis' character does that in The Last Boy Scout. "So now where you want it? In the chest or in the head?" "Yeah, that's what your wife said."

[@themenagerie5247]

14:40 the dude literally gets a shot off before he grabs the slide! even if grabbing the slide stopped it from firing he still got shot lol.
