Darren Levine’s Krav Maga Tactical Training Tip of the Day

Handgun Threats from the Back/Side

When threatened from the back/side, it’s often hard or impossible to see the weapon without first turning. In all of the defenses from the back or side, where possible, it is advised to look and see which hand holds the weapon before deciding a course of action.
