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.
Yes, it is possible to take a gun away from somebody, even when they are pointing it directly at your face. I did it, and I will tell you exactly how I did it in this article. That said, and even considering what I am about to tell you in this article, I recommend giving your money to an attacker, not risking your face against volatile discharge.
When somebody points a gun at you, you must consider which way the communication is flowing. The typical scenario is a fellow steps forward and points the gun at you, and he says he will shoot. The intent of the communication is towards you.
Moving slowly so that he sees your total compliance, you put up your hands, and place them in a position that is best for what you are about to do. You should engage in a lot of intensive practice to know what position is best. It is crucially important, in this situation, that you relax your muscles utterly and entirely and make your mind icy calm.
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.
As I said, you must have muscles that are totally relaxed, and you must have an utterly calm mind. You are going to hit his wrist, and you must shift your head away from the direction the gun will move in and off the line of attack when you do so. Grab the barrel of the gun and twist it as you slap the inside of his wrist.
Slapping the inside of his wrist will mess up his muscles, and there may be a discharge of the weapon, but the gun should have angled so it will miss you. With practice, and specifically practice of the technique and of the ability to be relaxed in one position in space, and then assume another position in space, you can actually refine your technique and try different methods of controlling the gun.
Having written the preceding, let me say that the technique won't work if the fellow is not interested in getting your money, but rather in kidnapping you for purposes of domination, or if he is too far away, 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 training purposes, for enlightenment of the individual in a life threatening situation, not to give you the idea that risking your life is more important than money. And, I want to let you know that it is going to be a lot of fun to go point a little laughter in his face when the fellow is caught and goes to trial.
