I am Steve “The Dragon” Jimenez along with Heath Jones with Fit and Fearless Krav Maga. In this segment we are going to go over hostage situation with the weapon. Now from here the first thing I want to do is I don’t want to bring my hands right up here I don’t want to move make a large movement. So what I am going to do while we train is bring your hands here kind of touchy feely here. While we are doing is we are actually calming ourselves down too because it were a kind of focusing out something else just a little bit. At the same time just waiting to see but you can also talk to your assailant “look take it easy its going to be alright man, its going to be alright,” and then from here make defense. Once I redirect the weapon here it is coming straight up I am going to bring this hand here into the back of the weapon because its going to make me stronger. Its going to be harder for him to pull it back from here I am going to make myself long and extend the weapon away from here and I flatten the weapon out. Once I do that I hold on to the weapon and while I am delivering these strikes I am going to make sure I keep the line of fire away from me right here. One two (boom here) from there step off, back kick. If you are law enforcement, tap, rack, “get down on the ground.” If you are not in law enforcement, you don’t know the mechanics of the weapon run, run with the weapon do not drop it.
As I understand the technique as shown here, the weapon will most likely discharge on move 2 "redirect" or 3 "elongate body". How do you account for the slide striking the hands or gases burning the hands, among other bad effects to the defender, on discharge? Obviously better than bullet striking head, but still could disrupt the defense. Overall, I think, a good technique.
Teacher, thank you for the insightful lesson.
i think that this guy is the real thing, the other people that put there opioun on what self defense, their stlyes never seem to work, but when i attempt to do exactly what steve Jimenez it works! You have to remeber to that these moves or actions have to be done with speed or they are not going to work because you give your attacker the chance to know your next move it you do it too slow
A defence against a possible hostage scenario. As long as your courage holds out you could pull this move off!
Nice gun defense move.
hey Steve my name is carlos and im 23 yrs old and had no clue of martial art and self defence cause i had never needed it until last week when me and my dad who is 74 yrs old with parkinson sum guy came and push my dad my dad fel on the ground and then took a knife out i did exacly in the video of how to counterattack and i broke the guys gaw i there was a man hole in the ground and kick the knife in it ! and the man ran my dad was not hurt and my dad told me he was verry proud of me and i kick his -- thanks alot your video save my and my dad life thank you verry much
this guys is not a krav maga expert. he makes many mistakes and does not take into consideration many different scenarios. it is clear he wasnt trained by i.d.f experts
I like krav maga, it shows that more cultures are adapting martial arts in order to survive. The advanced stuff is core. I found a kick -- place devoted to the study of chinese martial arts both internal and external, http://kungfu.f-sw.c om
wow this was really advising (sry 4 bad english^^)! now i know what to do!! thanx a lot
he makes good videos but he needs to replay the different moves that are carried out so that the person watching dosn't forget
