Krav Maga 411

Former UFC Champ Bas Rutten demonstrating how to defend against having a handgun pulled you. This is a Krav Maga technique he learned from Darren Levine and Amir Perets.

I’ve been traveling a lot around the United States with the Krav Maga people Amir Perets and Darren Levine. Those two people are the people who teach FBI, CIA, the Special Forces. They teach the people that guard the nukes. Those guys are phenomenal with weapons, and obviously I’ve picked some things up along the way.  So I’m going to show you only two gun defenses cause for the real gun defenses you have to go to them. Kravmaga.com okay, remember that, those guys know everything. You can put a gun here, here, here, on the back, anywhere you want, they going to take it away. I give you two of my favorites and the ones that I really know, because all of the other ones are not difficult but they know exactly how to explain it and I don’t. Okay.

One is the gun to the front. If somebody stands like this, it doesn’t really matter if he stands here, or here, or here as long as you can reach the gun. If he stands like this what’s the first move you’re going to do? You’re going to rearrange… redirect the line of fire. I’m standing right here. Most of the times they will probably say “put your hands up”. That’s exactly, he expects a movement, and see he already misses me. I show you from this angle. Watch this. You don’t see the gun right now, but you see I only have to do this, he’s already missing me. That’s a little movement, don’t do this. You don’t need it. Okay one more time from this side. He stands there, you go yup, he’s already missing you. Now you’re going to step in with force. With your left foot, you’re going to step in right next to his right foot. With your two knuckles you’re going to push the gun right here on his hips. Bang! You come in with a punch. You go underneath and you’re going to pull the gun out, like this. You step away like this. Now he is going to be the one to pay. Okay give me your wallet. (Laughing) Okay one more time…

The second one, he’s going to put a gun in my back. Now the word I’m going to tell you are the same words Darren Levine and Amir Perets are telling, are saying okay. I’m just repeating them cause they know everything one hundred percent to this. Okay first of all…
