Defense against a gunman intimidating you with a pistol at your stomach

  • Twist outside, off of the line-of-fire, grabbing the opponent’s wrist and the gun barrel.
    • Guns are essentially thrusting weapons; they can only attack what is directly in front of them.
  • Point the muzzle up and towards the opponent, using the gun barrel for leverage, to strip gun from the opponent’s hand.
    • This “gun stripping” technique appears in several waza.
