Is this good self defense?

[shongo]

Some self defense instructor say: if you can escape, escape. If they have a knife or a gun, give your money.

Most important self-defence skill in the world is situational awareness. Spotting trouble early and dipping before you're in the middle of it is way easier than actually fighting.

If they have a knife: Obey their orders
If they have a gun: Obey their orders
If they have a crab stance: Easy Pick

That guy is from what I remember the fastest disarmer

[TheLionsGuild]

So I’d like to point out the guy in the clip is ex-special forces, who trained really hard to be able to do just that. The average guy isn’t going to be able to achieve that level of skill without specific dedicated training.

If they have a knife : Obey
If they have a gun : Obey
If they somehow pull up a tank from their pockets : Obey

So i am not the only one expecting a back kick 💀

Best self defense technique ever used in nature and everywhere is RUN

[Sidra-bo]

This is true self defense 👍

Remember your life isn’t worth those things and you aren’t John wick

I saw the guy in the clip explain why he does that. Apparently he had a very abusive father/step father who used to pull a gun on him and point it at him all the time. He swore not let anyone be able to do that again so he trained specifically to do what he does in the clip. It was a while i saw him explain so if anyone can correct anything please do.

I don't think most people realize that the time it takes for one to pull the trigger is much less than for a person to disarm the gunman. It's a flipping gun. That's going to get your life file deleted just like that. Instead, you give them what they want. Part of martial arts is defense and practicality. So, pretty much the easiest way to keep yourself alive and the safest move to make in these situations. If you know you can't win, you at least keep yourself alive. Don't do what the guy at the beginning did. No one's just going to patiently wait for you to set up your counter. Give them your money.

the best self defense technique is not to get yourself in such a situation in the first place

[Mohammed-dodi]

Gun: obey
Knife: run
Hands: run, spare or fight!

"Practice makes a man perfect"💪

[julonkrutor]

A guy that knows a bit about guns - no chance.

But, if he holds the gun with one hand and comes that close ... I give myself a fair chance against one.

We tried this with painball guns and ppl that were trained. The only mistake they made on purpose was comeing so close. 9 out of 10 i had the gun. And those ppl know i would try it 😂

Running away is the best self defence, or one punch and run
Great videoo!

To anyone who may be needing this, if you feel like your life is lacking joy, know that you are not alone. You are the reason someone smiles every day, and you are doing a great job staying up so far. Congratulations brother/sister, I am proud of you. Don't give up, no matter what happens. And remember that above all, God loves you. So much. Jesus in a single second, loves you more than a person could in a entire lifetime. He died for you, for your sins and mine. So get closer to Him, because that is what He wants, and it's thanks to Him that I can spread this message.
Take care of yourself, because even though life has its difficulties, it is also very beautiful. So don't waste it but enjoy every second as much as you can (:
Whenever you find yourself having negative thoughts, remember this message.

Honestly, if you are 100% confident on your reflexes and had proper training, it could work. Best bet if you arent trained, just cooperate. Most violent altercations will only want material stuff. The only case on which a normal person should fight back is if they are in danger (such as the case of kidnappings, assaults or the like). On those cases, scream, scratch, bite, do whatever it takes to safeguard yourself.
