They're designed to disarm attackers from in front and behind

It's a dangerous world out there, but this video from Dailymail.com might help make it a little safer for you.

We spoke to Rhon Mizrachi, New York-based grandmaster of the Krav Maga Federation, to find out how to deal with gun-toting muggers at close range.

Whether you're approached from in front or behind, this video will show you how to turn the tables on your mugger.

Backing up: Finally, twist the gun out of the attacker's hands and back up, keeping it trained on them

If approached from behind, Mizrachi says, the first thing to do is turn around, so that you can see your attacker and 'clear the line of fire'.

You then grasp the gun between your forearm and shoulder before hitting them in the face with your free elbow.

A knee to the groin follows, and while the attacker doubles up in pain, you twist the gun from his hands, smack him in the face with the barrel and back up, keeping the weapon trained on him.

For gunmen approaching from the front, it's a similar technique - get your body out of the line of fire, grab the gun and twist it around so the villain can't fire.

Front: If approached from the front, you must again move out of the line of fire before again grabbing the gun and twisting it downward

Gunpoint: Once you've got the gun out of the attacker's hands, back up swiftly while pointing it at them

At the same time, put weight on the gun and punch the attacker in the chest, then twist the gun from his grip before backing up and pointing it at him.
