Krav Maga Weapon Defenses. David Kahn

       Figure 1.06a

Figures 1.06a–c. This control hold can be used when you have achieved dead-side position. Secure the assailant’s wrist and use strong leverage to armbar the assailant to the ground. In addition, this control hold can be used as a strike to dislocate the assailant’s elbow. You need to position yourself slightly behind and to the assailant’s side. Assuming you are positioned to the assailant’s right side, secure the assailant’s right wrist with your right wrist. Pull his arm slightly outward and using your left forearm or ulna, exert strong pressure just above the assailant’s right elbow while taking a left step and leaning your weight forward deep into his armpit. This will take the assailant face down to put you in a dominant control position. You can place a knee on his triceps to exert even greater compliance.

Face and Weapon Control Hold

      Control of the assailant’s head can work against any weapon; however, a handgun could be redirected at you, so you must be both diligent and careful to control the weapon as well.

       Figure 1.07a

Figures 1.07a–c. Controlling the assailant’s head creates dominant control. Generally, if you control his head, you control his body. As with all weapon defenses, you must control the weapon and move to the assailant’s deadside. Once you have achieved deadside position, reach around the assailant’s head to secure his chin and head tight against your torso. Use your body combined with a one-hundred-eighty-degree (tsai-bake) step to take him down while maintaining strict control of the weapon.

Defense When the Handgun is Visible in the Front Waistband

      An assailant could threaten you without deploying a handgun but by indicating or revealing its presence.

      20

      The defense resembles Frontal Handgun Defense #1. When you recognize the threat, react immediately.

       Figure 1.08a

Figures 1.8a–c. Decisively pin the handgun to the assailant’s body controlling it at the rear of the slide while delivering multiple counterattacks. To remove the handgun, keep your weight pressed against the rear of the slide while sliding the handgun out and modify the removal process as learned in Frontal Handgun Defense #1. Note the importance of strong effective combatives to disable the assailant prior to removing the weapon.

Defense When the Handgun is in the Rear Waistband

      You may be threatened by an assailant reaching behind his back to retrieve a firearm (or other weapon) from his rear waistband.

      21

      If the handgun (or anything else) is hidden in the rear of his waistband, one defensive option is to kick the would-be assailant in the groin and then close on him.

       Figure 1.09a

Figures 1.9a–d. A second option (as depicted) is to close the distance with a knee strike to the groin or midsection while securing his reach arm with Control Hold B, a police hold often known as a kimura hold. You can also add a strong knee combative to take his level down.
