GUN FROM THE FRONT

Gun Defenses

Caution: In training, DO NOT let your partner put his finger on the trigger as it
may get broken.

STARTING POSITION: Neutral or passive stance.

1. As the attacker presents the gun with his right hand, smoothly send your left
hand to the weapon in a straight line, putting the side of your index finger at the
side of the weapon and pushing in a straight line to your right. The movement
should take the gun off your body parallel to the floor. Any diagonal movement

up or down means that the gun stays on your body for a longer period of time.
This movement also moves the weapon from vital areas (center of the chest) to
areas that are less vital, until the gun is completely off. Just as your hand reaches
the weapon and begins to redirect, make a body defense by allowing your left
shoulder to come forward. This has the added benefit of putting your motion and
weight toward the gunman even though your feet have not yet moved.
