As an audio engineer, I purchased a 4D LED Maglite and it's been great! With an output of over 1000 lumens, it's dizzying to get shined in the face with, battery life is several days, completely water proof, and tough as nails! We also get hurricanes where I live, so it definitely has a spot in my emergency kit. I'd be reluctant to strike anyone with it, but I wouldn't hesitate to use it to block a bladed weapon if I needed to.

Or the skills of a Jedi Knight? Actually own a bigger version of this. Never thought about it as a _defensive_ weapon. It could of helped me, or not. When you're unwittingly lost in the cavernous streets of a downtown, it's too easy to walk down a wrong street. Often there are more than one stalker following. And I know the diff. between being stalked or paranoid; if the people around you change pace and position based on my deliberate want to not be near these people without seeming to appear as if I'm a prejudiced bigot...

Good demo! I do 'black out' trainings with all my gear set ups (from EDC to home defense) to get used to self defense in the dark. It helps with maintaining balance and navigation in the dark, low vision gear manipulation, getting to know how my eyes react to my own flaslight, identifying objects and targets with it and blind-strike-move drills.

Couldn't agree more about the value of a flashlight. I worked in security for years and having a flashlight is great I'd also say particularly when its cold get yourself some good quality gloves as you are far less likely to walk around with your hands in your pockets, if someone bites you in a clinch their less likely to break the skin and punching is less likely to break the skin.

That size is a great fist-load, (I used to carry a roll of Nickels) so another great thing about it is not only does it re-enforce your fist, but Mike's a boxer. I'm sure you picked up on that, but he doesn't have to change up his style. At all, he can hammerfist, bring it right back up into the attacker's eyes, bob, and weave... You know the Maglite. Not the Min-maglite, but the one cops, and security guards tap on your window, then shine in your eyes when they ask you why you're stopped there? Those guys train with a Baton, and they don't want to load up their belt (Any more) with a baton, AND a light. Now, look at the nylon sheathe that comes with the mini-maglite, slip it on your belt, and drop a collapsible Baton into it. Yes, that's intentional, by design. My point is that not only do multi-function tools make better weapons (Than weapons make multi-tools) but whatever you're trained in, drilled in, or experienced in. A weapon that fits right into that like the flashlight in Mike's fist is at least 1 less thing to carry.

Before he could say anything else, I asked him if seniors need to show their ID. This is where my pharmacist starts laughing, because she seems to know where this story is headed. Back on tangent: And so I thank the young man for his assistance, drop a senior citizen's worth of change into the collection receptacle at the ticket both, and slowlw and calmly walked away as if no crime was committed. The moral of the story: always assume people are younger than the lack of melatonin what's of their cranial hair.

I think self defence channels should aways make the assumption that the attacker is stronger faster and a better fighter then the person defending because if the strategy works then then it will almost aways work and people looking to attack for whatever reason don't usually attack the strongest most dangerous person around there usually going for someone smaller then they are and this video is good because it would work on anybody especially at night when a attack is more common imagine if your a man attacking a girl at night there's very little she could do to hurt you your eyes have adjusted to the dark as it's dark and she pulls out a powerful bright torch and strobes it in your eyes this also works everywhere even in country's like England that would usually punish you for defending yourself no one is gonna punsh you for a torch another one in that case Is a can of deodorant. spray that in an attackers eyes and run you can carry a deodorant can and a torch anywhere.

I saw a martial arts video of the problems with using a "fist load" It causes your knuckles below your top knuckles to engage the opponent. Those knuckles are much weaker than the top, and so you can break those knuckles during a fist-load and strong strike. Now, as a "hammer blow" with a loaded fist you're good to go. Search "hard2hurt" here. One of their vids explains all this.

I was a MSU varsity fencer and from that training could employ other object as defensive weapons such as a curtain rod. Now, at 84, with bum knees, sparing with my fists is simply not practical. However, blinding with the high lumen light an attacker and blasting him with MACE seems like a good plan. Or, instead of jabbing with one's fist, why not poke the blinded attacker with a flipper knife?

Weaponize your light output and take it to the next level bumping up your lumen output to above 5000 real lumens. Thrunite, Acebeam, Emisar, Imalent, and Astrolux to name a few. Keep your LED range nice and hot above 6k. The biggest baddest out there right now is the Imalent MS18 at 100,000 lumens. This might permanently blind an opponent but if your life is in danger...

In many Australian cities, we're now in the position where the kids literally have no fear of the law - and that includes Police. We're talking juveniles who will assault paramedics, Police and anyone else who gets in the way of their 'fun ' - sounds like something straight out of a movie, but sadly that's where we're at. If, as an adult, I'm caught carrying a knife or anything else that can be construed as a weapon, the Police and the courts will come down very hard on me but the exact same weapon in the hands of someone under 18 would get them a slap on the wrist UNLESS they actually stab someone. Even then, a jail sentence is the last resort. My point is that this light could easily get you stabbed on our streets - the obvious exception being if you can use it to get far eoough away to start running while your knife-wielding opponent is blinded. Thanks for the video.

As a military guy, the only white like is attached to my primary weapon on a thumb switch, if I have a stoppage I drop my rifle, it's slung, grab my pistol, if he is too close grab my knife, let him try to punch my head or body, I'm wearing armour.

Yeh I realise I'm two years late... They are both useful and effective, and both have their place. I more commonly have my Fenix 1600 lumen torch outside of my house, but my 6cell Maglite for home defence. There are numerous stories of Maglites saving lives. It is a perfect, lawful, defense weapon that gels with my skillset. The small torch does too but that's not the point here. It can block weapons and strike effectively. I know a guy who was ambushed with a hockey stick, the Maglite saving his life. I also know a friend who used one in a melee with some street kids, who had already stabbed one friend of mine. My mate cracked the guys skull and nearly killed him. Yes potentially deadly, but doesn't have to be, and so is an opponent with a knife. If you buy an aftermarket bevelled edge it can also become a formidable two handed weapon.

Reason to get a big Maglite is for the use of a bigger battery giving you longer runtime.

Thanks dude. I'm pretty new to martial arts, and these videos are helping me a lot. Also, I heard going hand-to-hand knife defense is not practical. With that said, in your opinion, what's a good weapon to counter a knife? Of course, the Obvious answer is a gun, but are there any alternatives?

I'm actually not qualified to teach knife defense, I'm not really experienced with kt... I've got a guy I plan to consult on it, but the pro answer is basically wrestling, while conscientious of the knife.

@fightormon
@fightormon 6 жыл бұрын
not an instructor but safe to assume the knife comes out two likely scenarios one as a threat and is seen and two when its not and your close enough to be stabbed. Grappling is probably for that best case scenario of two where he is already gotten close enough to stab you and you cant make space. Even with that odds seem to be greatly against you but low chance better than no chance.
