В реальной драке практически бесполезен,испробовано опытом.Прямой удар малоэффективен,зато есть большая вероятность сломать пальцы,особенно если зажимать между ними маленький..))Сразу видно,что этот человек мало дрался на улице и не сидел в тюрьме или служил в армии..хотя в какой армии?У них в армии боевые пидарасы наверное дамскими сумочками дерутся...))

That is a beautiful shillelagh , well done finding it

First murder was committed with a rock.

Great video Matt. I need a cane due to severe arthritis . 50 + years in the martial arts, thank you for the instruction.

Good advice, but... never take brass knuckles to a gun fight.

You can damage your fingers. You need to wear a glove.

More likely to break your fingers. Complete nonsense.

👍😍

Thank you this helped me defend my mom today😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

But you say wrap -cord around the inside/pivoting side of the tool, that negates it’s legitimate purpose rendering it solely a weapon. In the uk it is at least

Thanks Matt. Your videos are very much appreciated. My cane is the equalizer I've always needed. I practice with mine at least 3 days a week. It's a great self defense workout, it's fun and helps me keep my weight down.

Great video...

This is a really good way to break your fingers, firstly that’s not how you hold knuckles. You hold them lower to take advantage of the brace. Secondly, this doesn’t have a brace. It’s going to move around if you’re really trying to strike and you WILL break your finger(s). Thirdly, all of this is obviously suspect to have on your person if you get searched. Just carry an OTF assisted opening knife (basically a switch but legal) or if you really are worried get a short punch dagger and ankle strap or get a clip for the sheath and hide it in your pants concealing the clip with a belt.

I'm buying some! Very informative thank you.

Absolutely Top advice, as a shaolin martial artist, having reached the age of 63 , I'm about to take up Irish stick fighting, iv bought a blackthorn shillaghly, like yourself n the video, and I just know already I will include these exercises in my practice, thanks shifu matt 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 happy healthy peace ✌️

I don't like this guy. Never gives bruce lee credit. What have you been telling Michael jai white? You never even knew bruce lee

Hi Matt, interesting techniques especially for me as a classical smallsword-fencer. I liked your video! What about, if the attacker manages to grab the point-end of your stick?

I EDC the large climbing carabiner for their versatility here in the UK. With some paracord I could lower my daughter out of a burning building in a pinch. I train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu but in the UK where knife-crime is so high, the last thing I'd want to do on the street is get into a scramble with someone potentially weilding a blade. These large biners are great and the one I have fits so nicely in the hand that I dont feel I'm at risk of breaking fingers etc if I needed to use it. It would most likely be used to stun an attacker and I'd most likely put them to sleep once I've established a dominant position. I discovered this carabiner idea through one of Alex Wanders urban survival videos.

Dont do that, you will break your hand !!!

Thank you sir. How Long has to be the bo?

This is awesome :D

VERY GOOD INFORMATION

Because of this 10 PM video, I can remind myself to keep it simple. I feel better about improving my 65 year old self

Very interesting, thank you Mat. When it comes to potential multiple contexts and unanticipated changes in a self-defense situation, it's "Smart" to be aware of all viable personal protection options. FYI, as a side note, in one of the Biblical texts, it's written that David picked-up 5 stones as he prepared to face Goliath. A Biblical scholar said David did this, because Goliath had 4 brothers.

To prevent hurting or damaging your knuckles, I'd suggest using two tied together (using heavy weavers thread but not too tight!) or loose in "reverse position." You will notice the difference as the two opposite loops do provide better protection and are much deadlier on impact and will hurt the uncivilized bandit! Another option that I frequently carry on subways is two U Type Racing Shackle Tow Hooks with or without the pin! Now we talking moaning, groaning, foaming, praying, begging, pleading i.e I'm sorry Sah, "pleeze", no mo; if you haven't knocked them out cold. Peace, then again!

First time watching my son feels that I should start to learn to protection course. He is a martial art and Niceville Florida his website of school of combat arts by Michael GIoe

I love Brazilian jiu-jitsu

You can break your fingers, hitting hard.. There's no support in your fist like the real stuff!! Take care🤔

Urgent: Also Matt, I've been trying to share critical information with someone who can make a difference in national security by letting the right people know. I know you're well connected and I hope what I share can make a difference and save lives. I finally shared info about what I saw and heard in 2021 around the sewers in the woods in MD in the last message I did on my YT channel. What I heard and going on was literally ALL summer from sunset to sun up. Even the neighbors in the apartment were hearing it. There was an accidental explosion once ( I use the word accidental because it did not do any damage) and at the end of my observing this, it ended with 6 gun shots in the air as a warning to me. Please let me know if you are interested in hearing the whole thing. It's been a great concern for our nation.

Right on brother! Thanks for sharing your info about your pain management. By the grace of God, I'm able to still do so much and the pain has reduced drastically. I was very physically active til I was 40 when everything hit my body. I drummed about 20 thousand hours in my life as a profession drummer and singer. So, I still have lots of strength, praise Jesus! You're right about the stretches too. I did full time outpatient physical therapy for several years off and on, and I kept those stretches from head to toe daily for about 3 years. I have to begin those again. We all have to be spiritually and physically prepared and work with what we are able to do and do that well. 🙂

Thanks Matt. Here's something on that note. You can put gravel in a sock to store the gravel for the wrist rocket, and the ROCKS IN A LONG SOCK, would be extremely efficient to swing and smash target. The sock stretches from the weight of about 50 pieces of gravel as it swings giving a further reach and the weight with that force is extraordinary. 🙂 Of course, the sock would stay tightly gripped in your hand. Plus, you mentioned arthritis. Being someone who deals with that, elbows and anything else is doable. Avoiding hand injuries. Also, I deal with RA and chronic inflammation , and neuropathy. Lots going on. I still try to do everything I can to be prepped and trained , walking a lot with my dog when weather permits. With serious health issues and managing pain for 15 years, it's important to keep the body moving. - I try to avoid sugar, and acidic foods.....alkaline diet is important to avoid serious flare ups. God bless you brother

What do I do if someone grabs it? :)

Remember the pet rocks

Another that's an old weapon and has modern uses...sound

Wtf I literally did the spin at 5 min without knowing it as a move or spin😅

Ÿou mentioned lasers. Some people use laser pointers, but some can cause permanent injury. Take collagen, silica and ĥyluronic acid, for arthris. I'm 70 and have no arthritis.

Rock in a sock

Hate to see when governments force law-abiding citizens to get creative, while criminals with big kitchen knives stab little kids in parks and spit on our society. Things are getting crazy here in Germany, so I always carry a screwdriver and pointy pliers in my backpack, but I'll add a carabiner now. Thanks! It's not only my safety, some day someone needs help and I don't want to get into a fight barehanded against combat knives, machetes or metal rods. Crazy that I even have to think about situations like that..

STOP INVASIÓN STOP ISLAM ORGANIZACIÓN Y RESISTENCIA STOP

I feel so bad because I’m practicing against a tree and the poor soul can’t even defend himself TwT

Can I use a stick with different width on both ends? It’s not much of a difference but it IS heavier on one side. It’s the right length though.

😂😂😂

MATT I have seen stones PAINTED with writing on one side saying ‘please turn over’ and on the other side ‘ah, that’s better’ it’s a joke but it would be a great excuse for carrying the rock!

Cro Magnon and Neanderthal camp sites are littered with baseball sized stone... Go figure
