Gun disarming at Be Formidable is built on one standard: it must work against a resisting, violent attacker under extreme stress. Techniques are pressure tested repeatedly and have been for decades. We constantly evolve, innovate and pressure test to meet new threats emerging from around the globe.

Our training is generations ahead, accounting for real variables; handguns and long guns, slippery hands, unstable footing, pulling, striking, weapon retention attempts, and the inevitable loss of fine motor skills caused by adrenaline.

Any technique that fails under these conditions is eliminated. What remains are simple, aggressive, and battle‑proven methods designed to function when everything is going wrong.
