if you want to learn to disarm people u should learn krav maga,
im gonna start soon

hey if the opponent have a gun u allways want to get out of line of fire, u take ur left hand and grab the gun and then u take the right hand and grab it and twist, the gun is urs, if he try to hold the gun he will break his finger but if it is a knife i would just grab his hand and stab him with his own knife

You could do that.......if he was already dead.
No one is gonna just let you stab them. No one is gonna just let you grab the gun.

first tip: run run run
second: if you have absolutly no other choice, eg using an improvised weapon to keep the distance, try to grab the hand with your TWO hands, it will put you in a diffcult position but a safer. Maintain his wrist correctly with a v grip. Work him with headbutt, knee strike.. I have a blue belt in krav maga, its a good starting, but for disarming some of the technique are not safe.
I have learn this technique from a professional, and had to use it one time. No cut, my agressor had his nose broken, his groin hurted, and his agression stopped.

i've always been mildly talented with knives and other hand to hand weapons and i've never actually practiced this "technique" but i have always had a thoery on how to go about disarming someone with a knife. if it can't work please let me know but it goes something like this.

step one: keep you're eyes on the knife

step two: (if you're opponent holds the blade in their left hand simply reverse the hand and side step accordingly for this step)grab the opponents right wrist with you're right hand and step to their right side, extending the knife safely away from yourself

step three: smash you're left palm into their elbow until they drop the knife or their elbow is broken/dislocated.

i hear both a break and a dislocation are painful and assume they would then be forced to drop the blade

simply grab ur own weapon

I never broke my arm but I have dislocated my left arm twice. The first time I didn't know it was dislocated but I knew something was wrong. My arm just went completely numb. It wasn't pleasant to move it but I was able to and if I was fighting to control a knife I would most likely have been able to keep a hold of the blade. Unless your trained to dislocate it though you most likely won't be able to do it.

thanks for the useful hint, knowing this will definitely come in handy with my writing and it may even save my life a fight some day ;D
