Anyone notice the first kid tries to check if it's loaded. Even after he was told it is fake he still checks (doesn't just assume he wanted to make sure). That's a kid that has real gun safety, and everyone should learn from that.
This technique is one that I use to gain the attention of youth who are incarcerated. After gaining their attention, I go on to give them hope and tell them my story.
Sir, Thank you for your comments and service through law Enforcement. This is but one technique. I have trained Law enforcement and military personnel for over 25 years. I would not try a disarm at an extended distance I would use my side arm and gain the tactical advantage through cover and use of necessary force. Please view other video I have. BE safe, Be smart and live with a small ego, it will keep you alive. - Semper Fi, Victor Marx
Everybody gets a choice. I'm just one beggar telling others where to find bread. If you get a chance, watch the documentary movie I did on my life (on TH-cam). You'll see how messed up my life was and the challenges I still face. Thank you for your honest comment :-)
When I gave my life to the Lord, I noticed that I had freedom from all of my wrong decisions in my life and I was able to forgive those who hurt me deeply. A true follower of Christ has a relationship with God and it is not simply a religion. I talk to him daily through prayer, meditate on his Word (the Bible), and he helps me navigate this crazy world. I encourage you to "go all in" and give God your life. (Part 2 of 3)
06:00 if you just want to see the gun disarm, but after you've seen it, go back and watch the rest - he's an interesting guy with disarming skills 😆 Thanks Victor, enjoyed watching.
Victor has made this very clear with his demonstrations. I had not realized before how effective a gun disarm can be within arms length of a hostile. Thank you, Victor, for enlightening us (in many ways).
Yeah it is all fun, giggles and games but look at the guy`s facial expression @ the 7:30 mark....this guy gets into a fully controlled,beast mode,amazingness realm in a matter of nanoseconds and then he switches out of it just like nothing , bet his guy has been in some heavy shit.
Victor Marx Just checked that post you are talking about, Thanks now I get a better picture of what I felt on the video....Hey, Sorry if I sounded disrespectful with the "heavy shit" part , it was not my intention . Best to you too.
Thank you. Stay strong, ingnore those whom put this down. They fail to realize you are out there teaching far more than how to disarm a person. Thanks for the reply. Good to know guys like you are out there.
7:12 they are aiming at him then he says "shoot each other" and walks out of the middle of them and they were aiming at each other. I laughed so hard , the kids were like oh crap we are aiming at each other
I have a passion for children also Victor. I lost my 15 year old boy to a pedestrian accident 6 years ago and regret all that I did not do. I think your a class act.
I don't identify as christian, but I like the metaphors that you use about life. Applies well to non christians because it's life. Your story is a heart rending one, but as a fellow martial artist, I'm pleased to see how it has give you so much discipline and direction. Good on you. Keep up the good work!
I'm a staunch believer in the Lord and was a martial artist for many years as well. This man is doing God's work. He is an obedient disciple of the Lord. God is proud of this man as am I. Carry on the good work my friend and God bless.
Hello Mr. Marx, My name is Joshua Cranmore. I am from Chattanooga, Tn and currently in Atl, Ga. I recently ran across a TH-cam video titled the fast gun disarm. I clicked to watch and was amazed but that's not why I'm writing. After about a minute in I realized that not only are you a martial artist which is one of my passions ( been training Gracie Jiu Jitsu for 6years) along with guns, but you are a minister I believe. I grew up with Jehovah's witnesses on my moms side and baptist on my dads side. My whole life I have been torn on religion because my mom side would say dads religion is false religion and vise versa so I just never went to either. You seem to be the kind of person that is right with the lord that I have been looking for. You have inspired me to try to find God in my life. I believe in God and I prey and talk to him but I don't attend any church. I guess I'm just wanting to thank you for opening my eyes to the possibility's and to ask if the is one of you ministries here in Ga I could attend, thank you for your time and God bless. Sincerely Joshua Cranmore
Hello Joshua, Thank you for your comment and I glad I could share a few things that have helped you on your journey through the email you sent me. God bless you ! - Mr. Marx
Clutch 83 Hi Josh . Don`t forget to read up on some science on your journey , so you know that when people tell you that Noah`s Ark was real ,and evolution isn`t a fact , you are able to make an informed decision as to whether to believe them . PS That gun disarm was cool . I like Mr Marx Regards ILZ 5th Degree Taekwondo
I've been in martial arts since I was three, tae kwon do until he closed down when I was ten, now tang soo do with the WTSDA. It took nearly a decade to get a black belt (in tae kwon do studio shut down about a week before testing and an average of 5 years in WTSDA) it is the greatest choice I ever made to join so many years ago.
Depends on the Theology . It is a bit of a mixed bag . Providing you accept that Science clearly establishes that evolution is a fact , the Earth is billions of years old , there was never a global flood , no evidence of supernatural intervention has been recorded , Jesus doesn`t love you ,and when you die , you come out of a worm`s arse , your theology is going to match the observational data. Doesn`t mean that wasn`t a slick disarm however . I would not care to spill his beer .....
Love your story my friend. Btw that disarmament was really amazing. I posted it on my tiktok. You blow peoples minds. Thank you for sharing your story with us. God bless
hi victor may i say i just watched your movie on your life and it was so incredibly moving ,i am humbled to have seen your story .,imfrom the uk london england im 39 year old male and im not ashamed to say i shed many a tear while watching your story,not only from the bad things but what you have become and the happiness you have given to so many and the strength to carry on.god bless my friend and i thank you again.kind regards and all the very best .
Recently, I haven't had time with all of my traveling and speaking obligations, but I have a handful of black belt instructors that teach Keichu-do in southern California.
I appreciate the fun aspect of the techniques, gets it very loose and fun and a lot of attention, but I'd like to see a lot more practical/ break down techniques from this guy
I will never understand you internet trolls. Frankly, I'm not going to waste my time & energy on trying. It was a demonstration for Pete sake. The purpose was in the verbal content not the demo. Of course, there are so many things anyone could nit pic about the "moves". There is mindset, circumstance, intent & countless other facets to a true violent encounter. If some of you feel like you have to tear someone else down to build yourself up perhaps you should take a look at why that is & address it.
Watch closely. Before he disarms, he also readjusts his glasses. So, when he reaches up the same way the second time, he catches the guys naturally off-guard. I am impressed by his speed and accuracy, but this is a canned situation. I have serious doubts about whether this is a practical solution to a real world scenario.
notsophil he disarms the one guy and push the gun on his back away with his back at the same time moving so ur right he didnt get off line but he moved the line. This would not work if the gun was higher up or the gun was on the other side of his back or maybe if one of the guy was using the other hand lol so yeah it can work but you better make sure everything is set up just right for it to work lol in the end if it did fail he would sill have killed the 2. and taken a hit to his side. That far low would have not done much to him in and out hit
***** That's also assuming their reactions are as fast as physically possible, and that they react the exact moment he goes for the gun. There are other factors too.
Quite impressive but he seems cavalier(showing a lack of proper concern; offhand.) (when a gun disarm is not taken lightly). Stage presence I suppose ...
HE IS SO AMAZING! Not just this video, but I've seen that movie he did, and wow. I had to start a playlist on my channel just for it. I'd say, that it's important to watch it. His movie. Thank You Victor Marx! And thank God for people like you.
The goofy little noise and squirming motion he makes before the disarm is actually necessary for that move to work. The enemy is distracted by seemingly non-threatening behavior and is disarmed before he can react.
Wow, amazing story, and so inspiring. I also did martial arts as a younger person with a lot of anger to resolve. After a while, the need to express myself through a well placed side kick, round house, uppercut whatever diminished as I realised with this skill came responsibility. And then Jesus also came into my life, and provided me the answers to the many questions I was seeking. God bless you Victor and hope to see you in Australia one day
Mr. Marx this is the first time I have learned of you. One word, WOW! Whats cool is that you and I are brothers in Him. I hope to meet you one day. God bless you and thank you for what you do.
Michael Shtudiner Manners literally stemming from "the hand" and eventually meaning "behaviors" (socially meant) he probably has very little use for your version of them. So his mommy needn't come into it....
I was wrong. He definitely needs better manners. Particularly in regards to the ad hominem douche. I was agreeing with the mythical aspect of Christianity. Nothing more really.
eacher you are the maximum and that way of teaching so spontaneous and with your jokes of truth you are a great teacher. May God always bless you with health and your loved ones. Greetings from Mexico
Very good... I liked your FB and ordered your book (out of print?) and dvd.. I will get both my boys (14 & 12) to read and watch.. I appreciate your service for our country as well.. God Bless you Sir!
Most Christians don't realize the techniques he's using (Aikido) rely mostly on the attacker's actions... it's a pure defensive art. You have to make an aggressive motion toward the person for most of the techniques to work. Christ taught pacifism but never said to lay there and take a beating or be murdered (in line with traditional Jewish teaching). With Christ it is to be peaceful and non-aggressive but should one be attacked or witness an attack on others, they have every right to use whatever force is needed to stop that attack. "Let him who is without a sword sell his garments to buy one" remember that from Matthew? I can name a dozen other scripture on self-defense. Victor Marx is one of those "been there, done that, fought my way out to tell the story" kind of people. His teachings of self-defense are valued and should be respected and learned. There is nothing "Christian" about being a victim! Backing you all the way brother Marx!
I like Matthew a lot, it gets really good right around 5:39. You're not wrong, but you're also not correct. Pick nearly any verse in the Bible and there's one that contradicts it. It's not bulletproof, it was written by men. If God's out there, he'll treat us like adults. I don't believe that we'd be spoonfed through a convenient little book in every motel nightstand drawer. Religion and spirituality are a far deeper experience than an ambiguously-worded instruction manual.
@Luke LB You are correct, sir. That's why you look beyond the Bible/Torah and look to nature... does the Gazelle simply lay down and accept death when a Cheetah attacks or does he run and fight back if caught? What if ancient man had simply given in to any and all predator attacks... would we have evolved to this point? Self-preservation is instinct #1. It's the "fight or flight" instinct and no intelligent animal on this planet simply lays down to die when attacked... we either run or fight back.
"Christ taught pacifism but never said to lay there and take a beating or be murdered" Except that little crucifixion part, where he took a beating and was murdered. "Self-preservation is instinct #1. It's the "fight or flight" instinct and no intelligent animal on this planet simply lays down to die when attacked... we either run or fight back." Except that little crucifixion part, where he took a beating and was murdered.
Cute... but you missed the point. He SACRIFICED himself for humanity. Read Matthew, "Let him without a sword sell his garments to buy one" Next bus will arrive in a few moments.
Oh wow, i originally came to this video JUST for the disarm. I forgot it was even in there cuz i liked his speech alot. Great metaphors and well timed humor.
+MASS HYSTERIA Christianity isn't analogous to sword forging though, it is analogous to cooking spaghetti. Whatever strength you started with is slowly cooked out of you until you can no longer think for yourself.
Do you see how his demeanor changes and the look on his face when he has the gun to the neck of second perp. Even though its an exercise he goes into and this might be an incorrect way of describing it, but goes into kill mode, he almost looks angry even though its a drill!! Just awesome!!
Thank you, Be tough but never let your heart get hard warrior. This world has a way of making people that way. The faith aspect of my mind, body and spirit training does help me. Thanks for your comment.
I only came to see the fastest disarm but ended up watching the full video, I really enjoyed his presentation and how his life changed a lot... I really want to read your book.... thank you for the words of the lord amen 🙏
People saying this will never work. Trust me people when it is a do or die situation, this disarming technique might be useful, specially if you know your gonna die anyway. Why not try fighting back.
You’re right and this is where psychological-manipulation training comes in.. Yeah I really liked this vid and its intent as we all know is more of a motivational type vid than anything. In a real-world situation you can be 10 feet or more away from me and I am still going to TAKE your weapon from you!
Its true what you are saying but think about this, most criminals have their guns onto your head and touches you with it, like holds it onto your face or onto your back to scare you. And when they do that if it was a guy that knew how to disarm them good like this guy would have more of a chance to do it. I mean ofc it wont work on everyone so i mean if you see the oportunity that you can do it without getting killed you could do it, but the best thing to do is to give them your money.
Man, I saw you in an instagram video named:"people best at things". I saw you and this blew my mind, how can a man be so fast? How can a man be so focused and strong? You're the best man, much love. By the way, I'm 8 years late. Sorry 🙃
I love his education on disarmament. I liked the video. Guns aren't normally used at close distance; although there are an infinite amount of possibilities. Usually, if there is someone pointing a gun at you, they know the distance benefit of having the weapon. That being said, show a video on how to carry your own weapon in defense of an attacker; I feel that is much more useful and appropriate to deter an attacker with any weapon.
7:25
Anyone notice the first kid tries to check if it's loaded. Even after he was told it is fake he still checks (doesn't just assume he wanted to make sure). That's a kid that has real gun safety, and everyone should learn from that.
I'm glad you enjoyed it...and I'm not offended :-) Thank you for your comment.
7:30 the guy’s reaction is priceless
7:22 in slow motion. It looks so cool!
This technique is one that I use to gain the attention of youth who are incarcerated. After gaining their attention, I go on to give them hope and tell them my story.
This guy would be the best undercover officer ever..who would ever think a super laid back talking dude like him would be this badass.
it's weird to see a video 14 mnts long for the fastest disarm ..
lol
There's more to the video than just the disarm.
IKR, RT, RS I THOUGHT THE SAME EXACT THING !!!
That's church for you.
Drew LoConte and there more to the joke than what you understood

He will never die to a close range gunshot.

I am so undoubtedly happy to see my uncle's Small Circle Ju-Jitsu being used in a demo like this. God bless

Love that you build humor into the lesson. Makes it fun to watch and I'm sure it helps keep people interested.

Recently, I haven't had time with all of my traveling and speaking obligations, but I have a handful of black belt instructors that teach Keichu-do in southern California.
Everybody has those moments where they say " oops ", which is why I would never let someone use a sword on my gut to slice up something.
I appreciate the fun aspect of the techniques, gets it very loose and fun and a lot of attention, but I'd like to see a lot more practical/ break down techniques from this guy
I will never understand you internet trolls. Frankly, I'm not going to waste my time & energy on trying. It was a demonstration for Pete sake. The purpose was in the verbal content not the demo. Of course, there are so many things anyone could nit pic about the "moves". There is mindset, circumstance, intent & countless other facets to a true violent encounter.

I am impressed by his speed and accuracy, but this is a canned situation. I have serious doubts about whether this is a practical solution to a real world scenario.
Trust me it wouldn't be.He is even doing the disarm incorrectly.Sure it looks cool and flashy but he fails to get out of lane of fire.
***** Action is always faster than reaction.
notsophil he disarms the one guy and push the gun on his back away with his back at the same time moving

"Self-preservation is instinct #1. It's the "fight or flight" instinct and no intelligent animal on this planet simply lays down to die when attacked... we either run or fight back."
Except that little crucifixion part, where he took a beating and was murdered.
Cute... but you missed the point. He SACRIFICED himself for humanity.
Read Matthew, "Let him without a sword sell his garments to buy one"
Next bus will arrive in a few moments.
Oh wow, i originally came to this video JUST for the disarm. I forgot it was even in there cuz i liked his speech alot. Great metaphors and well timed humor.
The video was cool, but what i really liked the most was the talk about the sword forging.
Yeah I liked that part too! So many people dont get the purpose of this vid and thats sad!
I'm going thru some stuff and was thinking the exact same thing one day when I watched a video of making Damascus steel blades for knifes.
+MASS HYSTERIA Christianity isn't analogous to sword forging though, it is analogous to cooking spaghetti. Whatever strength you started with is slowly cooked out of you until you can no longer think for yourself.
Do you see how his demeanor changes and the look on his face when he has the gun to the neck of second perp. Even though its an exercise he goes into and this might be an incorrect way of describing it, but goes into kill mode, he almost looks angry even though its a drill!! Just awesome!!
This is awesome!!
Thank you, Be tough but never let your heart get hard warrior. This world has a way of making people that way. The faith aspect of my mind, body and spirit training does help me. Thanks for your comment.
7:23 Gun disarm
I only came to see the fastest disarm but ended up watching the full video, I really enjoyed his presentation and how his life changed a lot... I really want to read your book.... thank you for the words of the lord amen 🙏
How can a video of 14:27 min lenght be the WORLD`S FASTEST GUN DISARMENT???
Hola! Many blessings from Puerto Rico for you and your family brother Marx!
He's so gift it guys. So gift it.
Lol I know I was just making a joke
+Tekk Solstice lol
+Tekk Solstice Good joke. lol. we must strive to be gift it too.
People saying this will never work. Trust me people when it is a do or die situation, this disarming technique might be useful, specially if you know your gonna die anyway. Why not try fighting back.
In a real like scenario the attackers are probably going to be moving around and moving the gun around.
Sure is easy to disarm folks when you've placed them perfectly and know exactly where the guns are, isn't it?
You’re right and this is where psychological-manipulation training comes in..
Yeah I really liked this vid and its intent as we all know is more of a motivational type vid than anything.
In a real-world situation you can be 10 feet or more away from me and I am still going to TAKE your weapon from you!
Its true what you are saying but think about this, most criminals have their guns onto your head and touches you with it, like holds it onto your face or onto your back to scare you. And when they do that if it was a guy that knew how to disarm them good like this guy would have more of a chance to do it. I mean ofc it wont work on everyone so i mean if you see the oportunity that you can do it without getting killed you could do it, but the best thing to do is to give them your money.
*****
No, they don't. Its not like the movies.
Dranksta ... Most criminals do... some are smarter then others but most aint, so yeah they do.
I aspire to be to be like you. Forged from something basic into something truly special.. Subbed!
Man, I saw you in an instagram video named:"people best at things".
I saw you and this blew my mind, how can a man be so fast?
How can a man be so focused and strong?
You're the best man, much love.
By the way, I'm 8 years late. Sorry 🙃
Same here
Victor,you are one terrific person.

As a Christian I was plesently surprised to find your video. God bless you.
I didn't expect to watch this whole video but the message was really nice
5:02 WTF is that sound ? 😂
I love his education on disarmament. I liked the video. Guns aren't normally used at close distance; although there are an infinite amount of possibilities. Usually, if there is someone pointing a gun at you, they know the distance benefit of having the weapon. That being said, show a video on how to carry your own weapon in defense of an attacker; I feel that is much more useful and appropriate to deter an attacker with any weapon.
Deserved a way better reaction 🤌🏼
Victor I get inspired by you! your enthusiasm and worship using martial art to empower our youth is just phenomenal!
Osu!
"D'at look marshallarty?" Lmao
God bless you and your family, Victor.
