I am willing to bet there are many with much less disability than you who also can't do it successfully. Thinking one can does not equate to doing it.oljames3 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 05, 2018 5:24 pmYes, many systems teach methods/techniques similar to those shown in OP's video. The question still remains; "Can I do it?"Paladin wrote: ↑Mon Nov 05, 2018 3:39 pmKrav Maga, Haganah, and many kinds of martial arts teach disarms just like they show in the video.oljames3 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 05, 2018 12:47 pmThis video seems to answser the question "Can it be done?"

I’m probably too old and slow to put any of these moves into action, but if I were able to, I’d see it as a last ditch measure....situational awareness and maintaining distance having failed me. Very cool stuff though.
I'm 66 years old and 70% disabled per the VA. The question remains; "Can I do it?" My answer is; "Probably not." Too old to fight, too tired to run. You know the rest.

Navy SEAL Mark Divine says that you win first in your mind.
His book, Unbeatable Mind is a must read.
We can't all be as physically fit as a Navy SEAL, but we can train our minds for success.
One of his slogans is "we do today what others won't so we can do tomorrow what others can't"
