Some MMA promotions such as ONE Championship take a unique approach by including submission grappling, and Muay Thai matches during the MMA events but this Brazilian MMA organization has taken it to a whole new level.
Last weekend at the Goiana Vale Tudo event, the crowd was treated to a self defense demonstration focused on gun and knives disarms.
This video shows two people. One is wearing some kind of martial arts attire and another of him is probably wearing his attire on the street practicing various disarming techniques for the crowd.
Wether these techniques are relaistic or effective in a real street situation remains to be seen…
The problem with so many knife and gun disarm techniques is that an unqualified instructor has probably never faced a true knife or gun attack in real life, so take everything you see with a grain of salt. Don’t try to be a hero if someone robs you at gunpoint. Give them your belongings and stay alive.
