I was engaged in teaching a martial arts class, and I had one student whose father liked to go to the bar next door and enjoy himself while his son was getting healthy and strong. After class one day, the father staggered in and pulled out a gun and pointed it at me, and he made the remark that karate isn't any good if a guy has a gun. I took the pistol from him, held it in my hand, looked at him, and grinned.
It is possible to take a gun away from somebody, even if they are aiming it directly at you. I'm going to tell you how I took that fellow's gun away from him.. That said, I don't recommend risking your face against volatile discharge, and I do recommend giving your money to a fellow holding a gun on you, even considering what I am about to tell you in this article.
The first and most important thing you must consider, when somebody points a gun at you, is which way his communication is going. Typically, a fellow steps steps out of a dark alley, is pointing a gun at you, and he says he will shoot. The intention of his communication is towards you.
Moving at a speed, and in a way, that demonstrates total compliance, you raise your hands, and put them in a position that is best for what you are about to do. I have to tell you that you will have to decide what position is best, and you should do this through extensive practice. The most important point, however, is that you relax your muscles entirely and utterly and calm your mind.
Wait for the fellow to demand your money. The intention of the communication is now going away from you, and it is going towards him. He expects you to move now, and towards him, an therefore his intention is not to shoot, but to receive.
The trick behind this exercise, as I said, is to have totally relaxed muscles and an utterly calm mind. Shift your head away from the direction the gun will move in when you hit his wrist and off the line of attack. Using both hands you grab the gun as you slap the inside of his wrist.
Be aware that the gun may go off when you do this, but the gun should have angled so the bullet will miss you. To make this work you must practice the technique, and you must learn how to be relaxed in one position in space, and then virtually instantaneously in another position in space, and then you can actually try different methods of controlling the gun and refining the technique.
Having said all the above, let me say that the technique won't work if the fellow is too far away, if he is not interested in getting your money, but rather kidnapping you for purposes of domination, or if you just read this article and never practiced it...a few thousand times, I also want to say that the reason I wrote this article is for purposes of enlightenment in dire situation, for training purposes, not to give you the idea that risking your life is more important than money. And, I want to let you know that when the fellow is caught and goes to trial, it is going to be a lot of fun to go point a little laughter in his face.
