Im Looking For A Particular Self Defence "weapon", Can Anyone Help?

[iGuest 3]

I live in the states. I own many otherwise legal "weapons". Remember a weapon isnt a weapon until you use it as such. A kubaton is something that I have been training with for years. I MADE MY OWN out of wood. And until I take it out of my pocket and apply it to a pressure point, limb lock, jab etc. It is perfectly legal. However, I wouldnt recommend using it unless you absolutely have to (though I do recommend carrying one just in case). When being mugged, the things in your pockets and jwelery you wear. Its all replacable. Human life is not. Do not wield it unless you know what your doing AND have absolutely no more options.

I myself, am a vulnerable guy, 16 and 5ft 3 not the best height! anyways to socialise and that with friends go to the movies blah blah I'm always in town, I have already been jumped twice, so I went through a phase of carrying a knife, not too clever on my part, as KKKred said, the government cares more about the safety of the attackers than ours! so now I carry a lynx bullet, basically its a small canister of deodorant that fits in your pocket, I also carry a sturdy pen, just like I Guest said, so generally the plan is, spray them with the lynx bullet aiming for the eyes, try to get them on the side of the head with the pen then seeing as I'm already at the advantage now, either run or use my pen hand or elbows to finish the job, but the UK is seriously becoming biased towards that of the attackers, so should you put them on the ground, feel free to run away because if you continue to strike, then you can easily be done for GBH (my friend's brother found out the hard way!)

Ha! I don't need weapons to protect myself. Try jerking a knife at me and you will see your arms twisted and the knife on the floor. I learnt Taekwondo, and Muay Thai. Those two together lets you have almost complete defence on yourself. Taekwondo lets you defend yourself and Muay Thai strengthens your attacking.

You should definitively try a shotgun. No one can break your personal security when you have a shotgun. Or if you like to get to a course I would prefer boxing, because you gain strength.

Let me make myself clear. After years of experience of Security/law enforcement/Martial arts(sparring) I have come to an interesting conclusion. You already posses the most powerful weapons of legal nature in the world. Your Head, and your will to survive an attack. All others fail beacause ANYTHING, yes ANYTHING you use other than those two can be used against you. Physical weapons are not a substitute for common sense and self preservation. That being said, if you insist on using pressure points, I recomend a course called PPCT (Pressure Point Control Tactics) It is a 3 day course that focuses on not only pressure points and takedowns (since you seem to be itching to fight) but use of force, powers of arrest (citizens arrest included) as well as verbal direction techniques and handcuffing procedures.PPCT is an Internationally recognised self defense/security/law enforcement program designed mainly around Judo, and has BEEN DESIGNED for "Legal, Medical and Tactical coverage" in the event your attacker should get hurt, and decide to sue you. Yes it happens, you as the "victim" CAN be sued for liability. If used properly and in accordance with training and local laws, PPCT will do anything possible including providing precident documents to defend you. This course is used by Law Enforcement agencies across north america as a STANDARD program. although I am not 100% on its availability in the UK. So to sum everything up, weapons or tools of self defense are idiotic unless you have gone thru several programs or Dojo's to learn how to do unarmed THEN armed. A KUBATON CAN AND WILL KILL! and you will be held liable self defense or not, in accordance with local laws. General rule for self defense cases is as such: EQUAL/LAWFUL/NECESSARY/JUSTIFIABLE FORCE ONLY. "Force+1" as it is known (being the theory of using just over the force being used against you) only applies in certain situations such as "an agent of property" or a "peace officer during the execution of his/her duties" Dont get me wrong there are excellent tools available to assist with self defense but there is no substitute for common sense and prevention. If confronted with a "fight or flight" situation, and no ready escape is available, use any available opportunity to strike "soft tissue" usually best to aim for the face (eyes, nose, throat) or just under the rib cage with a flat palm directing force upwards... This should be IMMEDIATELY followed by RUNNING away and contacting the authorities. Dont try to be a hero, because guess what, you arent one... In my line of work I have been stabbed, clubbed and had firearms pointed at me, its not worth whatever is in your wallet to be stupid and trying to look tough for a girl/guy or trying to be a savior... PS a swift kick to the bollocks usually works just fine. PPS I have been doing this for years, and I dont jump to fight unless im cornered or working and breaking one up.

PS: I dont want any "you shouldnt carry weapons blah blah blah" Maybe i shouldnt but this isnt just a weapon, its not illegal, its virtually impossible to turn back on myself because it will need practice and its not as if i could ever use it to mug someone but its perfect for defending myself.

as for this, If you ever pulled this on me I would take it from you and beat you half to death with it just to prove a point.

From time to time i wear my steal capped sneakers (originally purchased for work). Although i don't seek out trouble, i often think if trouble came my way on the occasion that i wear these, i could deal with it adequately without personal legal risks.

Try attending to Taekwondo and Muay Thai lessons. Both of the Lessons combined together gives you the perfect advantage when your being attacked. Taekwondo teaches you how to defend and reverse the hit the attacker threw at you. Muay Thai is simply Just Attack, attending to Muay thai lessons is a good way of training both your arms, legs and mind. Google it for more info and you can see videos of Muay Thai put to defence, its really cool.

Hmm... I agree ... The shotgun should be enough to prevent you from a fight. I'm not sure if it will prevent you from being arrested though. /txtmngr/images/smileys/smiley4.Gif

China to Attack USAIm Looking For A Particular Self Defence "weapon", Can Anyone Help?

I am probably alot younger than most people on this post, but I have grew up in a very tough part of the uk and had to defend myself alot. I find that the police very rarely will search you for a weapon unless you look very gulty in the first place. I tend to carry a sawed down cricket stump slid up my sleeve with a strap in the bottom so it will not get took off me by a "would be" asailent this is good as it is easy to conseal up a jacket or jumper as you can still bend your arm from the elbow without looking suspicious. But if you are still worried about getting searched you can clench your fist around a lighter in a simalar way to one of the ways a kubatan is used. This will vastly increase your punching power, you will be suprised by how much this works. Another option would be to forget about karate because I went to jui jitsu for 4 years and although some of it seems good, majority of the time you are full of adrenalin and can not use it in a real situaton, just be ruthless and evil and smash **** out of the guy, they wont come back if you **** them up enough. The lighter idea works very well by the way I use that alot.

I work late in the evenings and the crime rate is rising at a rapid rate! The government seems to be more on the side of the attacker these days. We, the good guys are the ones who get prosecuted for defending ourselves against an attacker who has willingly put him/her self in a dangerous position. I'm trying to find something that is legal should I need to proyect myself. My neighbour had to pay out thousands of pounds because a burglar trying to break into her house fell through her conservatory and cut himself on the glass. She should have realised the danger apparently. He walked away with a �60 fine for damage to her property and she paid out over �4000 to him. Wheres the justice in that.

You guys don't get it every thing set up UK is on the side of the attaquers for the governement gain more strenght they want to persuit and take off many of the humanitairian rights. do you think the crisis in UK is not set up?they want to put 2 categories of people:

1-Verry riche.

2-Verry Poor.

they want to take off the working categorie ,why?

Of course this categorie is known as "the thinking categorie" is there we're intelligent people,scientist ,humanitairiens ,engineers ,etc.... come from so they want to delete it for the governement take on the power.

i know it will seem hard to be true but believe me i know many resource's everything in this world is set up every war,every attack.

example's:the 11Septembre tower attack its not a terrorist attack is set up by the U.S.A governement,why?because those towers got important bureau's with a high sensetive files wich they want to get off, and also the towers were bought ` week befor the tower explosed, for 7.5Billion rent for 99years thats another reason so if the dude bought that tower, he will get infinite knowledge ,and also i have a 100% proof you cannot discusss with.

just Email me anytime ill show you how the real world is.

Also as a weopen if you want one i know some good one "Respect" not some kids respect but real respect in crime local area you need respect for every one don't dare to even stare at you of course i dont mean give chocolate to get respect but show that you are serious and some time's be tough physicly and mentally not always.

P.S: all those gangsters stuff etc.. are mentally kids its not how life works.
