THE BEST Martial Art for Gun and Knife Fighting

This video, presented by an expert instructor from Tenicor, demonstrates how a reverse edge knife can be a critical tool to overcome superior grapplers in a self-defense scenario. It highlights the utility of such blades in close-quarters combat when wrestling skills alone are insufficient, emphasizing the need to create an opening by forcing the opponent to disengage.

This video explains the 'muzzle thump' technique, a non-lethal force option using a rifle's muzzle to strike an opponent's sternum. It's intended for ambiguous threats in close proximity to create space and time for threat assessment before resorting to lethal force. The technique emphasizes striking the sternum hard and suddenly, avoiding the face, to incapacitate and clear a path.

This video simulates a 'knife vs gun' combat scenario between a UFC fighter and a firearms instructor. It highlights that entangled gunfights are complex, requiring integrated skills beyond just drawing a firearm. Success in close-quarters combat necessitates proficiency in grappling, striking, and weapon retention, as demonstrated by the varied outcomes of the three rounds.

This video demonstrates a close-quarters gun disarm technique taught by Craig Douglas (SouthNarc) of ShivWorks. The method focuses on realistic scenarios where an attacker uses a firearm as an extension of power at close range. Key elements include using verbal agility, feigned supplication, and a specific physical maneuver to move the weapon off-muzzle and then 'cut' it from the attacker's grip using the wrist as a fulcrum. This technique is highlighted as being particularly effective in confined spaces.

This video demonstrates a controlled, low-stress introduction to firearms for an 'anti-gunner' named Hannah.

This video challenges the notion that shooting stance is irrelevant, demonstrating that while static accuracy might be achievable with poor form, stability and recoil management are crucial for practical application. John Lovell highlights how a compromised stance leads to instability and potential falls, emphasizing its importance in real-world scenarios. The content underscores that fundamental techniques are vital for effective firearms handling.

Avoid gripping vertical foregrips like a handle; instead, use your back fingers on the grip and your palm on the rail to pull the rifle into your shoulder for better recoil control. This technique also allows for effective bracing against obstacles to create a stable shooting platform, enabling faster target transitions.
