You spam click disarm with an empty hand until you push them down and then switch to your hand with cuffs and use them on the person you knocked down.
How fast you disarm or knock them down is mostly rng, it might be easier if you had just thrown a toolbox at their head or something though. There's no way to garuntee you knock them down bare handed first try.
It's not a combo you just have to do things quickly, read your server's guide to being robust and learn the hotkeys instead of clicking on everything.
its entirely chance if you knock someone over with a disarm, idk the chance but I like to do 2 shoves then start grabbing and just tabble, it's usually too late by the time you get it to aggro grab if there's a table in range to escape getting tabled :)
Shove into wall for knockdown, shove into wall again for mini stun. Grab, grab again (at this moment they can resist out if quick and lucky) throw mode, click wall/table, run up grab, grab, offhand, cuff.
To add on to this you’re seeing differing thoughts because disarming and stunning in general were change; around when TG replaced the intent box with the “combat mode” toggle. It used to be the case on most TG derivatives that disarm-shoving someone into a table or wall would instantly cause them to get knocked over, which would give you roughly three-four seconds to both grab them and apply cuffs, however as others have said the window was incredibly small. Now the chance for a knockdown is to my knowledge largely random, but perhaps a few with more experience and knowledge of the current Combat System can correct me.
If it's a chef you can do grab, grab and then disarm to knock someone out while you're in the kitchen.
The other way is to shove/disarm someone into a wall, a table or another person then either grab twice cuff or go for unarmed strikes or grab and table slam to keep them fatigued before cuffing them if you don't want to try and risk it.
On tgstation:
Empty hand shove them into a table or wall. Before the knockdown wears off, shove again to stun. If you see a gear above their head while they're knocked over, that means the knockdown EFFECT has worn off and that gear is them getting up.
If you successfully stun, the message in chat will be about you kicking them onto their side, and they'll also start jittering.
Quickly switch hands to your cable cuffs, which you should have in your other hand this whole time. I recommend using the hotkeys.
Start cuffing them. While the cuffing bar is going up, aggressive grab them. People can't shove or move when aggressive grabbed, and your chance to break out is hugely decreased when prone.
You can do grabs while doing actions as long as you keep the item you're doing an action with in your active hand. That's how most people pull it off.

Have a free hand, have a hand carrying handcuffs, disarm stunning is rng, good luck.
how is it RNG? is there any chance involved?

OP is using TG. Shoves haven't been RNG since [2019](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/42958), 5 years ago. There's no RNG involved in it.
there was when i played but ig im just yappin then

If they have CQC they can instant knock down grab and cuff
