can this be you if you're traveling abroad this can be in kidnappings happen around the world in all the countries that business people visitors people who are just tourist it happens everywhere south america asia the middle east this is really going on in two thousand and sixteen there's even such a thing as kidnappers insurance i am vivienne gas for the host of stop my crisis and here with me today i have experienced martial arts instructor and several levels but most importantly today we're here to talk about sam because this as the owner and operator of rockaway faith center sam thank you for coming and giving us some demonstrations on how you can stay safe in not just being abroad and another practical situations thank you for having me is going to be a great afternoon today with us well so if you do find yourself in this position say i'm so what you're going to be doing with any firearm you're going to have to worry about a line of going to start to stand up excellent reference position here you can come into a need to the growing and you going to yank the rifle backwards like that and to escape and then you try to turn on the person and then from there you go to turn the rifle and of course you put your finger right inside the trigger guard and of course if you're in the execution position you're going to neutralize the threat so make sure he's somebody who went to kill you you want to turn the tables because odds are they're not alone correct absolutely so you're managed to get here you want to take care of any threat that surrounding you because they're going to get to you next correct any threat that you receive especially at gunpoint or execution then your chances of dying are greater so all it's either going to be you or them at that point and i choose me every little would absolutely so i do have some other techniques i want to go over with you so we can lead the way sir so also employ me put this on a side and i will grab another pistol people around anywhere whether it's at home or perhaps a burglar or what if someone on the street is trying to mike you so this is where we encounter with a handgun right sir yes and a hang used weapon for thievery and stuff like that so we're going to be working today is very simple gun threat to the chest so the same thing with any firearm the primary danger is a lot of fire so we got to get ourself out of a lot of fire and it is very similar to what we did with the rifle the only difference here is you're controlling the pistol so the threat will be from the chest you can bring your hands up nice and slow and you give a non threatening command hey man whatever you want and that's going to cause them to give you give you a sense of feeling give them a sense of calmness at the same time they're going to get their demand that they're asking for so right from here has come up nice and slow hey man whatever you want her i raise my hand with your hands are you going to use let's use your right hand is time you going to grab your gun under the trigger guard like this that's in squeeze it tight and you know stretch your arm straight out like this just like this ok so now right now if i pull the trigger the line of fire will be in that direction it doesn't kill me it doesn't kill you that's my primary objective do yes so now here are we going to have to now take the weapon away and how do we do that now we're going to do is lean forward with your right foot careful sorry i've just been stepped on that's the forward blunt object or project away so be the one so that is that the most common a threat to the chest or the other come there is a lot there's a lot of different kinds of threats we have threats from behind does the gun to way this park new jersey i'm pretty sure this happens yeah and you know where i grew up in happen quite often it happens a lot in paterson that's what town i grew up in iowa so that's where you can relate but i'm sure it happens in other parts of new jersey it happens a lot more frequently than people think you know so if i'm walking down the street and you have a gun stuck to your back oh yes give me your money now the same principle that we stablished already easy to bring in hands up about the same height as the gun ok of the response has a man whatever you want hey man and of course what if we're not traveling alone but if we have family around us that's very important now the situation if you have your kids with you or your wife with you or your husband and you get put in position of a gun threat then you have to worry about the line of fire according to your family of course so they're worried that they're not going to hit the people around you correct so let's go for example the first one that we did to the chest right so if we did in this position and i see your daughter was in that position or your son  wouldn't want the gun to travel to destruction you know accidently kill the phones we love all right so the great thing about this specific scenario you can actually use your left hand or your right hand depending on the circumstances environment around you know i have to ask what if my daughter's on this side of my son's on that that my head clears at the same time it goes up so i don't want to just ok good to know if you know that's up here and next life you could try again but i have nine lives like most right pinch to slide and then which you to do is you're going to push the frame forward and release the slide now i know a lot of people are very scared of guns i'm scared of guns and so what do we do just focus and let the adrenaline carious kno unfortunately that will not work you know actually have to go out in get some kind of training some formal training at least how to deal with certain weapons because the worst thing you can do to yourself is actually have a weapon and not know how to use it would be more dangerous to someone else but if you're taking someone else's gun like you just showed us how to do that correct and you've never touched a gun before in your life well most important thing is to stay everyone needs to stay calm take some instruction and i think better yet learn from a master helps you did bring one more assistance we have a knife so very similar to a gun threat the knife threat is the same thing there's a demand a request a person want so they're going to come up either to this position or this position is that the most common place for threatens you for the most part yes it is so there are no grabbing you're sure they're shoving your knife into your throw my god most people isn't going to cut you immediately or the way they're doing it might might not and may actually may so you want to prevent the knife from traveling at least an inch into the throat and how do you do that so here we go as we're going to do so my hands are going to come out the same thing because there is a man to ok a man when i think i can remember this so you perfect good fun here ok nice so now right from here you're going to fire another me with your right i mean the ladies go to where the men don't want to go yeah exactly and now from here because it is a nice threat and you don't have a gun you're going to choose one of three objectives that we there's some bigger knives and smaller nies but right now we mean the very large gun rights right handle a typical handgun regardless if it's a revolver or if it's a semiautomatic you know the typical nine millimeter or have any weapons it's just them hand the how do people threaten to hurt you with just your hands because let's face it here we're talking about the best violence today in addition to travel safety and regardless you can have agitated people wherever you go even if it's in your home own home or an act of violence from a complete stranger what is the typical act of violence well depending on who it is if it's a man versus a woman usually a man is going to be strangling a woman physical so all trying to deescalate it before it gets too physical is probably the best thing to do but sometimes there's no talking to people so you can't reason with them especially if someone's had some alcohol yeah and alcohol sometimes has a lot of a lot of well in my case a lot of people want to try to play this is difficult but nonetheless we're going to start with a straight punch so the primary danger here is actually the straight line of this is coming in so what i would want you to do is first of all you see somebody trying to throw a punch you want to put your hands out rights you hide yourself like this no you don't want to hide yourself behind it but you want to also present a present courage when you step into an engagement like this because the more fear you have the more fuel you give the other a knife there's levels of and gauging it right so we have to ambush somebody presenting the weapon to you or trying to hit you then doing your counterattack which now we're going to work on is actually punch and then we're going to that sort of flow break the ankle question then i won't step off it really happens right now afraid if i stay on you might get really hurt and i don't want my enemy you're too well trained to be my enemy and with those heels you can do some serious damage to you're going to do here is not panic hopefully not panic right most people do panic and the more you panic you end up losing time and you're in a pan sing out so if with women they have eight seconds before they pass  scary right and so what we're going to do here is you're going to work with both your hands ok to come up and you're grab my wrists ok pull them down let's get out of the goal here is not to pull the hand totally off is just to create space so you can still  we're going to do is you going to push with both your hands so you want my hand to go in one direction ok like that and then and then this should fall to the floor should hopefully are there in cause broken and i could just take off right you can take off my guess then as we somehow go running in the opposite direction of go opposite direction get to a cell phone or whatever you can cell phone or home phone and call nine one if anything if it's in a house a different want to get out of the house and go to a neighbor's house i have to tell you some many people have said to me that my hair looks like is we're going to do a situation where i grab your hair from the front so all this here you want to make sure that you have both hands controlled ok and you want to press down because if you pull you're going to lose hair ok there's quite a few of there's actually a few schools in new jersey that are start to open up to as well that are starting to come on board with our organization and i heard some little birdie told me that you actually helped teach this amazing form of self defense to some very important people i have i have taught many law enforcement i was actually very fortunate enough to be taught teach and help the founder of my canary teach new york police
