Well thats why you're thinking about it ahead of time.

I distinctly recall the instructors commenting they'd rather face an idiot who gets too close to you with a gun than an idiot who gets too close to you with a knife, the knife will still cut you if you grab it.

They also suggested you comply with anyone who has a weapon unless you have good reason to think they'll kill you anyway.

I Really should take Krav up again, was good stuff.

Yeah, I'm only a yellow belt at my school (Krav Maga Canada has a belt system even though the international org. doesn't) so we haven't gotten into weapon disarms much yet, but I think the general idea is it's easier to give up your wallet than successfully perform a gun disarm or redirect a knife.

Either way, it's a hell of a work out.
