FIREARM DISARMING TECHNIQUES

The vast majority of contact professionals are not armed with firearms and carry limited intermediate weapons. In today's age of violence and gang activity the risk of being confronted by a subject with a firearm is increasing.  This session is designed to teach simple yet extremely effective techniques of eliminating the threat presented by guns produced at close ranges.  At the end of this 4-hour session students will be able to:

  • Explain the relationship between action and reaction time and how this works to their benefit.

  • Demonstrate effective counter strikes to incapacitate the subject.
  • Demonstrate proper disengagement techniques to obtain distance, time and options.
