The NRA has one of the worst trainings for firearm retention. I've shut this down so many times, I can't count them. The move they show is to bend over and lunge in with their shoulder just above your hip and wrap their arms around you as if to trap your arms. Here is what your left with: They are off balance; I am not. Their back is to me; Their entire spine neck and head is exposed to me to attack without protection. Their feet are planted, exposing their knees and ankles to attack. Their hands are tied up around me, mine are free - regardless if they think they've trapped them...that's a false understanding on their part. They literally expose themselves to the absolute worst outcome. Please don't do this, even though the guy showing you has an official NRA badge and whatever credentials he has otherwise. He has no idea what he's doing and is only showing you techniques that he can pull off in a studio with compliant students.
