Re: Question about gun grab w/ choke from behind
As Brent said, the immediate danger is loosing the weapon, so securing that remains job 1. We’re doing a Level 1 and 4 class next week and I’m sure we’ll be testing this out!
Re: Question about gun grab w/ choke from behind
I’ll give the same disclaimer Sean did…I am not an LEO.
I think Brent is spot on with his analysis. To add a bit, it is very difficult to do two “real” attacks simultaneously, which is what seems to be suggested here. The “choke” is likely more of a control position, instead of a choke. If it is an actual choke, I think a pluck may be necessary, if you didn’t initially get your chin in and down, since capping the firearm won’t do much good if you go unconscious. Ultimately, I think making the retention and turning in immediately is the best course of action, since the opening in the “choke” would also be to the gun side.
Re: Question about gun grab w/ choke from behind
That’s spot on, Ryan. The attention of both parties is focused on the weapon, even in the drills. There is no “choke”, per se. It is the bad guy attempting to take the good guy off of his balance and to control him to facilitate the gun grab.
Re: Question about gun grab w/ choke from behind
Yes, I think balance is the real issue (with the “choke”, that is.) Turning and stepping gunside should help to maintain your footing.

Yup. Oneness and tried this out last month when we were working the guys and the one that I worked out seemed to work the best for us. It really does help going through it with a partner and various options.
