Another problem with Krav Maga and other martial arts vs. the SDTS in weapon scenarios is they focus too much on the weapon or the hand holding the weapon instead of just clearing the weapon and attacking the man. You can only really do one thing effectively at a time and that’s either attempting to control or manipulate the weapon arm or actually fighting back and striking your attacker and gaining ground and stacking the odds in your favor. The attacker isn’t going to just stand there and let you hold onto or twist their arm or wrist into some kind of joint lock to disarm them without using their other free limbs to strike you and this again puts you in a defensive instead of offensive position. A gun, knife, or any other weapon is only a danger if the person holding it is physically able to use it, if you render them dead, unconscious, or disabled then the weapon nor the individual is no longer a threat.
