I think it's funny to watch how they do fights on television shows. Do I even need to bring up the old cheesy star trek fights? Anyways. I was watching True Blood with my girlfriend. (At least it's not twilight and these vampires don't glitter)

Jason Stackhouse a main character was facing someone who had a knife. His reaction was to do a double leg tackle. Then, he went into a flurry of strikes basically.

My girlfriend goes, "Jason Stackhouse really knows how to fight!"

I'm looking at the move he did thinking, "Dipshit. He had a knife!"

I explain to my gf about how you don't want to expose your back, neck or sides like that if the person has a knife.

Anyhow. Cheesy television fights. Anyone else got some favorite examples?

i see this in alot of movies where there is a situation where a person has a gun being held to there head or body and what they all seem to do is they pull the gun into their body rather than away. i got into a conflict with my cousin who is an orange belt "silly orange belts think they know everything" he starts saying that "ohh you want to do that cause it points the gun down and you can dismantle it quickly" >.> last i checked dismantling a gun isnt exactly so quick. i then demonstrated several examples of weapon disarming given there is many different ways but most cover the basics of getting the weapon out of your threat zone,red zone, whatever area you know it by.
then i showed him why his method and the one in the movie isnt so smart the gun being pointed at the head is now down at the body and the attacker still has his finger on the trigger along side of that "military tactic 101" aim for the body its a bigger target this isnt a video game shooting the head wont get you an extra 150 points."

Actually, a simple gun disarm is one of the easier weapon disarms. IF you're in range. If the person has range on you, and they have a gun. You're dead. As for gun disarms being quick, they can happen pretty fast, after lots of repetition of course.

But, trying to disarm a gun, you most DEFINITELY want to get it the ******** away from your body xD Unless, y'know, you kind of LIKE getting potentially fatally shot. rofl
