The technique shown below is
illustrated in my book Modern Self Defense for
the 21st WARNING Techniques against weapons, especially firearms should only be attempted by experienced martial artists who have practiced these techniques for many years, or when you are certain that your life is in imminent mortal danger. The following is only a sample of one Jujitsu weapon defense technique. I encourage you to further study under a qualified instructor.Note: All techniques should be learned under the guidance of a qualified Jujitsu instructor. Care must be taken to ensure that Tori does not strike Uke. Kicks, and strikes must stop 6 inches short of the target. Additionally, only throw Uke onto a surface specifically designed to absorb such impact and only after proper break falls have been learned.
FirearmsSelf-defense against firearms is the most dangerous situation. I suggest that you follow instructions except in the case where the attacker plans to take you to an isolated area (secondary crime scene). Statistically you have a better chance of surviving by trying to escape, running into a crowded area such as a parking lot. Even if wounded, you will draw attention to yourself and have a better chance to get assistance. When the firearm is placed against your body, there are Jujitsu techniques that involve the use of jamming the gun's chamber or hammer while at the same time quickly moving your body away from the guns line of fire.
Uke applies the gun to the mid chest of Tori. Tori moves the upper torso counter clockwise and places the right hand on top of the gun and the gun hammer. Securing the gun from underneath with the left hand, Tori turns the gun counter clockwise. Stepping inward Tori throws Uke with O-Soto-Gari and removes the gun from Uke.
Remember, without safety, there can be no Jujitsu. |
