Step one, step two, step three, now we are ready for step four, the actual disarm. From here and this is just a particular one. You have to be very careful when you are training, if your partner keep his finger inside the trigger because when you strip the gun quite often what will happen is people can get injured, so you have to be very careful. You can do this one of two ways, you can do the disarm very slowly with their finger in the trigger, so you can get a feel for what that does or if you want to practice the disarm a little quicker, make sure your partner has his finger outside that trigger guard, so that you can just practice the strip a little quicker.
Now a couple of things you have to keep in mind when you are actually doing the disarm. You are inside the circle and you need to stay there very, very important and his way to picture this as you pivot that you stay in the center of the circle around which the gun travels, index your hands to your body so you gain strength and then when turn, you make sure that you stay at the center of the circle around which the gun pivots. That way you are always inside the circle and at some point your attacker will be on the outside of the circle. You could do some indexing, pin your arms to your body, twist with your whole body, that way let's say your attacker is bigger and stronger than you, you can gain a little bit more strength advantage back.
But you have to make sure that you are the center of the circle around which the gun travels. If you can see that motion I will just -- as I turn I keep my arms pinned to my body and I make sure that I am the center now, the circle itself can move around, and it can go to different places, but the bottom line is you can see that I am still the center, the gun muzzle is the outside and as it pivots I stay in the center and the gun travels, alright .
You can see what that does. At some point in this whole exercise, the muzzle will pass your attacker body, he is outside the circle, I am inside. Here is where it starts and it goes from here out. Don't make the mistake of stepping off and leaving the gun here, even now if you are twisting it with your wrist. Again you can get away with that as long as when you move this way you keep pushing the gun ahead of you but when you do something like that you typically only use your wrist and your hands okay and if he is stronger than you are and if he starts to bring in that other hand into play pretty soon your muscling against him and you have put yourself back outside the circle. Again that increases the chance that at some point during this whole thing he may get that gun to pass back and point at you.
You will find that as you practice this disarms from the 18 positions you will end up doing three of the same basic disarms. For instance you may start from here and you are going to find yourself here. Now you may get there that way, you may get in that same position by doing this point okay. But when you find yourself on the outside of their arm on the inside of that danger circle and again you can deliver whatever strikes that match your assistant best, you will find yourself in this position here. Their finger is up, some of you may even have arm bar that looks like this, an empty handed arm bar version that looks like this. Once you are up in this position with the fingers up what you want to do is grab that gun with your right hand, holding their wrist with the left, index in the arms as I mention, staying the center of the circle, pivoting the gun and the disarm goes like this. Again be very careful when you are practicing this with your partner's finger in the trigger and you have seen some systems where you can actually make the gun fire into the attacker, you are going to end up breaking their finger here, you are going to have to release that. If you just keep twisting and pull their fingers is binding the gun in there. So to get the release, you are going to have to -- after you have broken their finger, you are going to roll it out in this direction. So that's one of the basic disarm that you will find yourself in.
Second basic position you will find yourself in is on the inside. You have done step one, your deflection, step two, your are grabbing. You can see I am well inside that danger circle, step three devastate your attacker, couple of strikes. Here is your disarm right here, gun pivots this way again be careful of the finger on the trigger.
