TACTICAL SELF-DEFENSE One Shot to Survive by Grandmaster Tom Patire One of the key EP defenses to learn is the ability to disarm an assailant who has a firearm locked and loaded on your client. Many systems preach different tactics for disarming a person with a gun, but most of those disarms were not made to disarm a gun that’s being held at a third party. When a weapon is pointed at or on another person and you have to intervene to disarm that weapon, many different factors come into play, such as getting to the weapon with precise movement, redirecting it out of the way, or getting your client out of the direct line of fire as you disarm the assailant, which can mean the difference between life and death. Should you get close enough to the weapon itself, the key to survival is to stop, or at least limit, the discharge of the firearm. So my philosophy is simple when it comes to in-close weapon disarms: you get one shot to survive, so make it count! It’s not impossible to redirect the weapon or stop the weapon from discharging. Most shooters that go after clients in the private sector target them because of work-related situations or obsessions, thus wanting to get up close and personal before firing their first shot. In certain situations, they want to vent and say what’s on their mind before blazing away. These types of shooters often miss their target completely from the first shots, and if they hit them, it’s usually in a nonvital area. With this being the framework for an assassination attempt, let’s look at the word GUN and break it down into a positive term so that the chances of your survival, as well as that of your client and team, increase. G is for GET GET the client or loved one out of harm’s way. GET your vitals out of the shooter’s direct line of fire. GET to the weapon as quickly as you can. GET your hands on the mass of the weapon and redirect it towards the ground or the gunman, but away from you and your client. GET control of the weapon as fast as you can. GET the shooter distracted and off balance. GET to the shooter and apply your disarm as quickly and precisely as you can so he doesn’t GET you or your client! GET the gun at all costs! U is for UNDERSTAND As the situation unfolds, you need to UNDERSTAND all the variables. UNDERSTAND that your mind will be racing and your body will be filling with adrenaline. UNDERSTAND that you ‘ve trained for this moment and are ready. UNDERSTAND your client is scared, surprised, and confused. UNDERSTAND that what you do will decide who may live or die. UNDERSTAND that you need to maintain focus and act out your skills. UNDERSTAND that the entire situation will feel like it’s in slow motion but will be over in a few seconds. UNDERSTAND you have what it takes, so do the deed and live on! N is for NOW! When a gunman appears, the time is NOW. Know the situation and act on it NOW. Make sure the client is out of the line of fire when you make your move to disarm or redirect NOW. NOW is the time your training has to take over. NOW is when speed counts and cooler heads prevail. NOW is the time to execute your ONE SHOT TO SURVIVE!
