I agree to disagree Mikey. I somewhat agree upon the aspect of seeking to find that balance between emotional and mental. However I believe that fighting and training is ninety percent mental so by constantly obsessing and thinking in an analytical mind frame as well as prepping the body through physical repetition the mind and body will work as one, especially when it’s time to respond to a certain situation. As far as responding to a situation where a person is pointing a gun in your face, unless you are training a particular weapons retention martial art such as krav maga or nin-jitsu there really is no practicality with Brazilian jiu-jitsu for purposes of responding to a situation like that unless you incorporate that into your training. Back in the Pride days Rickson and Royler Gracie put on quite the impressive demonstration in the Pride FC ring in front of ninety thousand plus fan, revealing to the world the necessary skills that they added into their arsenal. As far as us average joes who train on a regular basis, there’s always that chance that you could get a hold of that person’s arm before he or she is able to pull the trigger and turn it into a grappling struggle for the weapon but other than that if you’re not trained to respond for that, I highly recommend not to react when someone is pointing a gun in your face. Unless you know without a doubt that this person is going to kill you whether you comply or not than you have to go for it and let the body and mind find that balance and respond as one from the jiu-jitsu.
