Dear Chuck Norris,
You may want to watch that video again and note a few important things.
1. The roles of attacker and defender are reversed from what our discussion was, hence, the runner is picking the time and place to initiate. That provides that provides them ~1 sec of free time.
2. In all of those clips, the runner is catching a bullet, albeit possibly harming the shooter in a few of them.
3. As demonstrated in the video, the shooter is not a static target. Once the runner is at speed, a simple sidestep defeats them and allows for more shots.
So let’s go back to the attacker turning around with a pistol already out and pointed at you, which was my situation. How much ground can you cover before the trigger is pulled?
With due respect to your knungfu skills, until you’ve looked down that barrel, you are the one talking out your ass.
This is what I said ...
"Actually the disarm distance is average 26 feet ... if you are ready and the gun is holstered. Gotta be aware of your surroundings at all times"
1. I said that a ready martial artist could disarm someone with a holstered gun at an average of 26 feet.
2. In the second clip the runner is past the shooter before the first shot
3. The next clip shows how to train not to be disarmed so yes the shooter is learning how not to be disarmed AND the attacker is NOT a trained martial artist. I was speaking about a well trained martial artist against an untrained shooter with a holstered gun.
I would not try to disarm a ready gun that was not within arms reach ... I NEVER said that I would charge a ready gun. The whole purpose of my post was to explain why I carry without one "in the pipe".
If you would like further demonstration of the techniques I have mentioned ... I suggest you go down to your local dojo with the attitude and courtesy you have shown me. I'm sure someone there would be happy to "educate" you
Lastly I don't practice Kung Fu and neither does Chuck Norris.
Oh and BTW ... I HAVE looked down the barrel
