Taekwondo Pistol Disarming Technique

@ Clearly you need a good laugh too. I guarantee after being shot in the nuts with a paintball gun just once you will seriously reevaluate your skill at martial arts. After a 2nd time, you'll be lucky if you can stand, breathe or function at all. I've been trained in both armed and unarmed techniques by people that know what they are doing, so I'm not exactly worried. And one can draw their firearm keep at the ready up and close to a threat as well. A trained person with a firearm would shove their offhand right into your throat or nose while pumping your gut full of rounds with their sidearm at the ready postion, but what do I know? That's why everyone is laughing at this video and you.
The funniest thing in the world will always be the martial artist that shows up in his pajamas at a gunfight.

@ Really Youtube? Okay I see guys standing their with plastic guns in the face of their "guru" waiting to be disarmed. They don't fight back, they don't have a trigger to pull, and they aren't even pretending or even participating. I can disarm a mannequin too....
Why don't you get educated about it? I've done all these drills with people who are actually fighting back, but you know we did silly shit like that in the military. If I have a pistol and push the heel of my offhand into your throat or neck or better yet stab you with a knife in the neck and have my pistol at the ready by my hip and pump you full of lead in your guts, no martial arts technique can save you.
So if you want to come to Dallas and try your awesome disarming techniques on me, I promise to not stand around like a mannequin. I'll use a paintball gun, and you can let me know how paintballs in the groin feel repeatedly. I can pull a trigger far faster than you can do any martial arts disarming move.
Conclusion: Staged training videos are staged training videos and are totally worthless.
Brigadier is an officer rank, so do yourself a big favor and leave the fighting to the working men there bud. As a former working man that did some training with marines and seals after 9/11, I can assure you that a bad guy with a gun, intent, and a small amount of training and intelligence is not someone to be trifled with. That person sure as hell isn't going to be disarmed like a mannequin posing with a plastic pistol in some idiotic look at me martial arts training video.
You know the reason why this drill is always conducted with a martial arts newbie with no weapons knowledge and a plastic gun? Because the "expert" doesn't want to get shot in the face.

@Anthony Smallwood I tend to agree with you. Having been active in martial arts for many years and a police officer for almost 30 I've had my share of violent encounters. These types of moves just aren't real world at all.
I have disarmed an armed robbery suspect but my reaction was very different from what you see in the video. I was standing to close so when the gun was pulled from an old small camera bag I pinned him against a car and grabbed his wrist and gun and kept him pinned while the second officer used a flashlight to convince him to release his grip on the gun. There was just no time to draw and fire without one of us being shot by the suspect.

@Phil W "Associate Editor TFB" Phil I'm happy you and the other officer were not hurt. My hands on training in the military taught me that no one technique or method will be perfect, and no one is predictable. Someone with a weapon and INTENT is very different from a training video.
