Most places I've lived it's way easier to explain away a medium sized pocket knife than brass knuckles. ”i use it for making sandwiches and opening packages at work ". Its camping equipment. Brass knuckles there's no legit explanation for why you're carrying it. Collapsible batons the same. Like a lightweight 4" blade flippy lockback can be a good option. Not illegal and plenty effective.

[@Krmyas]

Agreed. My wife is NEVER going to carry brass nucks (or even poly nucks). A small, light bear claw neck knife IMHO is a better option for a weaker person than a bludgeoning tool. Tactical pens are for TSA trips.

It kind of seems like the law is created to keep you reliant on a broken legal system, unless of course there are so many unarmed police everywhere that crime does not affect the citizens.

I believe that is why the medieval Japanese invented the 6" to 7" inch wooden Yawara stick and the Koreans invented the 12" dan bong wood stick for specifically self-defense. They wanted an object that would have been ridiculous to use as an offensive weapon, yet highly effective in personal self-defense and protection situations. The two sticks would be looked upon as completely harmless objects then and now.

I've read and seen similar boxing advice for self-defense. It follows the principle of KISS. Given a fundamental knowledge of boxing and some practice, I heard the following. Use left-hand jabs defensively, keeping an attacker at bay. Jab, jab, jab, and right cross to the chin. Purportedly this also works well against multiple assailants, quickly moving from one to another, taking the initiative against them. Of course this still takes instruction and practice. On the opposite side of the coin are those who do not recommend boxing punches as it takes too much skill and the unprotected fist can be easily damaged and the wrist is vulnerable to damage. Reportedly the great Mike Tyson broke a knuckle or finger in a brawl outside a Las Vegas casino back in the late 90s. These self-defense exponents recommend limiting hand strikes to: edge of hand, palm strikes, hammer fist strikes. Possibly consider the martial art slap, the open hand slightly cupped, fingers closed. The striking area is the slightly cupped palm preferring the outer edge of the palm. This slap strike can break a jaw or rupture an eardrum. It is used in Southern Mantis Kung Fu and original French Savate from the early 19th century as Napoleonic Law defined the use of the fist as the same as using a weapon like a club or rock. Disclaimer: I am not a martial artist nor self-defense expert. I am repeating advice I saw on the Internet and social media. You bear all responsibility for yourself and what you do to others.

Also another is get your own copy of the runners baton that is passed from runner to runner in relay races, i find a medium size maglight is about the right size ,then just tell cops you used to run track in school and you like thr feel of running with a baton.

[@m3photo726]

Good tip. However, you will find very few videos that tell you the absolute basics of how to engage when it’s a question of fight or flight. These guys are experts and so they can identify their targets and hit them with precision. This takes years of knowledge and practice but seems so easy on the screen. Almost all strikes are to the head and upper body and therefore also look impressive. These exercises are for the Dojo, not for street emergencies. Hitting others in the face is definitely not recommended - these days there are always those with phone cameras and that sort of evidence if the police turn up will always go against you initially - although it’s a natural instinct when we give in to our emotions instead of keeping focused on the main aim and that is to injure your opponent correctly so as to then go to the next phase which is flight. Dropping someone to the floor and then going down with them is also a no-no in the street, the most unsuspected individuals could join in and speed of execution is your goal. Now, the most important thing to keep in mind is that someone with an injured leg can’t run. This must be your priority: neutralize the leg. One leg is enough and the advantage is that there are two of them, versus one head, so you can choose whichever side suits you best. When confronted raise the arms as if to offer surrender. This catches the opponent off guard, keeps your head protected and also acts as an upper body stabilizer for the kick. Don’t kick with your toes out in front - much the same as with the hand; fingers and toes break with relative ease, that’s why punching isn’t recommended and open palm strikes are - use the heel instead. A sideways motion catching and displacing the kneecap is ideal. If you miss, you’ll at least have made the leg double sideways and if not breaking something is at least extremely painful; a straight blow to the knee will make the opponent feel sick and if hard enough will have them out of the game for long enough for you to get away. Also, on camera, it doesn’t show you to be either an expert or willing to inflict purposeful injury, rather a clumsy, spur of the moment way out. Now start practising at home so your “clumsiness” is highly effective. Like the man said, the more you do it, the better at it you are.

[@frankiecal3186]

🔫 is way better. Or pepper ball gun in states that dont allow you to have guns.

The things I've found best for self defense while running are:1. flashlight 2. whistle 3. mouthpiece... I put in a mouthpiece once and it stopped me from getting mugged! LOL I guess it makes you look like you're ready to fight!

[@frisc0strangler207]

Mouthpiece is crazy. And whistle? Bruh I sure hope you’re just joking

[@BMO_Creative]

I'm over 50 years old and have used these tools in the past to 1. get attention when needed 2. temporarily blind and stop both people and animals and 3. bluff my way out of fights... not joking. the telling someone to wait and then putting a mouthpiece in worked.

[@glennsammon4465]

running and carrying an arsenal of self defense weapons does not mean squat if you have ear buds in and are not paying attention to what is around you.

[@TimRHillard]

Running away as your defense? Okay. But... What is the natural response of a predator like a mountain lion or bear if you run? Usually, it is to attack. And, they can run faster than you can, and you've given your back. I know, just run faster than someone you are with, hahaha. Human predators as very similar. Not saying fight human predators every time. However please know, sometimes running might be the very worst answer. Talking your way out of things is probably a better answer than running in many instances. You run, you validate their belief they can take you. What about the next time you meet them????

[@stmartinhk]

wrt "you tend to want to avoid bone-on-bone collision", and hen you demoinstrate a punch to the head where you turn the fist over. When hitting to the side of the head and even to the skull or to the face, there is no need to throw that kind of punch. It is much safer and just as effective to strike using the inside of your fist, with the thumb held to the side of the fist. You may remember that was in fact the only way that a fighter was permotted to strike at the head in the old Pankration competition (see old Bas Rutten videos to watch those fights). Ofc, this kind of striking is not effective to the body, but it is by face the best and safest way to strike the boney parts of the head if using a fist. There are some technical points ot make about striking with the inside surfaces of the fist. 1. There are three potential contact points, the "knocking knuckles" (the knuckles you use when knocking on a door), the entirety of the surface of the inside of the fist, and the thenar muscles 2. The elbow of the striking arm always points down to the ground 3. Make sure you use contralateral rotation of the shoulders to get power (right hand strikes, left shoulder pulls back, kind of like starting a lawn mower) 4. While being a good way to strike at all distances, keep the scapula depressed at close distances (for stiffness of the blow at contact and for shplder stablity ) but you can extend the scapula for striking at longer distannces 5. Don't loop your punches. Again, power comes substantially from contralateral sholder rotation 6. These punches can be as straight as you like but you can also through straight and then hook at the end, bringing the inside of the fist onto the hitting surface with a whip at the end of the blow (for example, when striking the chin or jaw). 7. These punches become even more powerful if you change weight (from one leg to the other) as you hit. 8. These punches can also be thrown with a whipping or chopping action. For example, whipping the knocking knuckles into the face can damage the eyes, break the nose, knocl out teeth. It is very effective at short range por very close quarters. You might like to experiment with this. Cheers.

[@jaimemunoz5920]

So how much were you paid to promote these brass knuckles? I mean I find a lot wrong with what you're saying. Granted I find this type of weapon cool which is probably why KZbin recommended this video. But it's not really a practical self-defense weapon. You don't punch with them like a regular punch. You have to do kind of a short little kind of a Haymaker rabbit punch type thing. And you wear them along your lower Knuckles like you show the second time. You do mention legality and that's good brass knuckles are illegal a lot of places. Not where I live. But still I carry pepper spray which is a much better self-defense weapon than brass knuckles. It gets you away from the target you don't have to close in. And it takes very little training and body mechanics to use. My mom can use pepper spray she can't use brass knuckles. My mom could also use a gun but I'm sticking this to less lethal. You also mention knives and flashlights. And first the flashlight is not a weapon. It's a tool like you said but honestly you should be carrying something better for self-defense then just a flashlight. And expect to not blind the person and actually not do much damage when you're hitting them with it. Also expect to break your flashlight. On to the knife that's a pocket folding knife it's more of a tool than a weapon. It's still deadly don't get me wrong but it's not again a very good self-defense weapon because one it folds and so it's weaker than a fixed blade knife and two you need a good size blade on a knife. I recommend no shorter than 7 in for the blade. And I have concealed carried a kabar knife. It's very simple to do. I don't know this is kind of rambling. Tldr pepper spray is way better than brass knuckles.
