@@kozmo7 I responded to a domestic violence call in 2021. When I told the suspect he was under arrest, he tried to fight me. I pulled out my baton. My co worker tazed him. I responded to a 5150 call. A crazy dude wouldn’t leave the grocery store I was called to go help. I pulled my baton out and defended myself. Some fat chick tried to impale me with a chair at another call. She beat her mom up.

I grew up in a "High Risk" community where frequent drive by shootings & assaults occured on an almost daily basis. I'm a student in various combative martial arts including Arnis/Kali before being educated on the drawbacks of castle doctrine in my state, i typically carried a variety of lethal instruments on my person at all times. With that being said, I can attest from my own personal experiences that a well landed strike to a shallow bone target such as the clavical, forearm, or knee caps area's will almost always succeed in either disarming or immobilizing your attacker. Obviously you'll want to adjust your fighting system to work with your instrument & it's weight, it's range & it's mechanism. 👍

[@shugyoforyou211]

I'd be interested in your thoughts regarding weight versus maneuverability. A piece of rattan moves a lot faster than an expandable or fixed length baton. And another factor is what is the target? Are you going for a hand that's holding a knife or stick, or are you trying to take the legs out? I was with animal control so I preferred using a piece of bamboo that was split like a shinai but not wrapped at the striking end and I would be going for the legs so as not to seriously injure the nice pit-bull(s). that raises another issue for law enforcement. That dog has a head like a football helmet. I've seen a .308 round go through the scalp, graze the skull, come out the other end and the dog was still running around☠️ so go for the legs.I always appreciated how PD and the sheriffs department (OCSD) backed us up with the agency assist every time. Stay safe out there 💙

[@wicklowabby7977]

I'm certain that you meant .380 or perhaps .38 ACP bouncing off the skull... I can assure you that the .308 (7.62) round would easily penetrate the skull of a rhino (or the equally thick trump supporter) out past 100yds.

[@lawdogkyle1850]

Currently carry an ASP 21” air weight on my belt. I’ve never had a situation where I’ve had to use it. I must say, the training made me lose faith immediately, mostly because of the politics of how it’s allowed to be used really limit it’s potential effectiveness.

[@jonathanchark5291]

Nice work. How did you attach the pipe cap?

[@stubbornone1189]

@@jonathanchark5291 I drilled a hole in the end of the cap and used a fairly thick screw to secure it. I intended to use a smaller gauge screw, but I went with a larger one to cause the end of the stake to widen so it would make the cap more snug. If you use a screw with a rounded head, you can take a file and remove most of the screw's head when you're done so it looks like a rivet.

These people who say that sticks aren't effective in physical altercations, would they let their kids swing sticks at each other; on account of how "ineffective" they are? Stick = best tool ever. They literally grow on trees! Though, rocks deserve an honorable mention.

[@adriantepes4355]

If used properly everything can be a weapon

[@themadscientest]

Can we stop calling a baton a "less lethal" option? How is a baton a less lethal tool in a cops hands but if I swing it at someone it is "assault with a deadly weapon"? A baton is a hand to hand weapon.

[@RustyShackleford556]

The difference is that cops don't use them to kill people, it's a control and subduement weapon. A civilian using a baton, given that they're not in a situation in which they're expecting to be subduing a riot, is using a baton as a deadly weapon.

[@themadscientest]

@@RustyShackleford556 Tell that to Rodney King.

[@RustyShackleford556]

@@themadscientest You are naive. Intended purpose and actual purpose are two different things, both of which vary greatly between civilian and LE use. As for your example, cops beat the shiiiit out of that guy. BUT, they didn't kill him because they weren't trying to. If they wanted to kill him they would've just caved his damn skull in with those batons, which is what happens when a civilian is using a baton on someone: a deadly assault, not restricted by doctrine or training. Just move to Texas and you can carry (and use) whatever you want :)

[@williamforsythe5850]

@@RustyShackleford556 Yeah right, American cops use batons like they smacking a bear trying to eat them on young women and nonviolent protestors. They act like they get a free pass to torture people while pretending they are morally superior. I've seen a cop continually hit a handcuffed sitting man in the knee until his kneecap exploded into little chunks. It's a deadly weapon and they use it like one.

[@charlesholliday8600]

Not to say a baton is right for you and any given person; However, you can choose how hard to hit a person. A gun is not able to be modulated in how hard it hits. A knife is harder than a baton to use to deter only. The baton is not the problem, the depth of training is. There should be an end to people, especially those who don’t have any training, claiming what weapons I can use. Those freedoms remain even when someone else doesn’t understand my use of it. As far as Rodney King goes: what happened was wrong, but his example shows how they can be used less-than-lethally. Even so, what the cops did was wrong. Just like throwing his name out as if it somehow added to the conversation.

yeah the police carries those light aluminium battons... you have taken a mace essentially and took away its greatest factor for effectiveness, its weight. Then cannot expect it to be effective. there are companies that make them in steel, that has great hardness and weight and they are very effective.

[@MrBryanHack]

Unfortunately I had to use mine a couple of years ago, and literally broke my attacker's forearm in half, its made of steel pretty heavy, i didnt know they made them of aluminum i just couldnt wrap my mind around it not being effective with the experience i had, i imagine aluminum is trash for this

[@OldManPaxusYT]

Surprised i'm at 6:20 mins in (about ½ way) and he's not mentioned what was the whole point of baton use in law enforcement - that the priority is WHERE u hit and that the 1st priority is the outside of the knee.. . . So even though an extendable baton isn't heavy on the end, it doesn't need to be... (2nd priority would be collar bone... but u want to avoid that in case u miss) - All because you DON'T want to end in a situation where ur repeatedly hitting someone who's ramped up on drugs, alcohol or adrenaline or mentally ill... You don't want to resort to hitting someone in the head, ever... and anywhere other than outside of knee or collar bone isn't as pain-complying.... One thing i actually found with extendable baton is the *psychological effect!...* When they HEAR THAT HEAVY METAL CLICK of it extending, they usually drop their weapon!

[@harryrivers3191]

"Less lethal" unless used across a skull.

[@stubbornone1189]

There are more lethal targets than the hard skull. Imagine a strike to the side/back of the neck.

[@EgaoKage]

14:08 Another reason to practice your techniques slowly is to "reverse engineer" the effects of adrenaline. When real threats are present, and dying is an immediate possibility, adrenaline will speed you up beyond your body's built-in safety limits (whether you like it or not). And not just your physical speed; your mind will speed up too. If you do train at full speed, and then find yourself in a real threat situation, you'll probably find that your techniques aren't as effective as you expected them to be; everything will feel "off". How often have you heard it: _"it was like everything moved in slow motion, but I was at normal speed."_ Well, time is a constant. It didn't slow down. You sped up! So train slowly to account for this factor. :)

Working security I used both the wooden batons with electrical tape wrapped around as a baton stop instead of the thicker rubber ones. Tho I wished I could have gotten the type one cop I new used. It was some sort of thick thread that was weaved to roll up when put into the baton ring. But unroll and lay flat when you take it out . Making it as if you had just the wood with nothing on it. Sadly it was sent to him and he had not idea where that person had gotten it. Also carried an ASP for awhile. Est thing about it was being compact on my duty belt. Did not like the balance of it. Best thing on it was extending it usually got everyone's attention real quick. Surprised you did not mention the Rapid Rotation Baton( check youtube for demo about it.), Wished I had know about it back when I was still working security.

[@saygoodnight2010]

I have an RRB and carried it for a year. It's great for close quarters when utilizing the 3 striking heads but lacks weight when used for traditional strikes.

More often than not I have to account for overly zealous meat heads bull-rushing into a situation and using excessive force when they could have easily deescalated with verbal skills. Seems these same officers are the same ones that can’t hit the broadside of a barn with their projectile weapons either.

Have you seen a woman fight on mma? physically weak doesnt necesarily means vulnerable. Cops are taught some self maneuvers that dont rely purely on your raw strenght, and those are pretty efective. Plus with other non lethal weapons, like tasers and the like, its good enough. Better to have 1000 thousands normal cops in a city than 500 hyper muscular and strong ones.

[@shadown5757]

It all boils down to certified training. An officer is trained to use a baton as a less lethal tool and is certified periodically on its use while a civilian might not be unless he/she takes this type of training and is certified on its use. That’s why any type of weapon in the hands of a civilian that potentially can cause death is looked as a deadly weapon since at the time of the incident it cannot be assessed if the civilian is trained or not 🤷🏻‍♂️. Still regardless of who you are the presence of a baton that is being used by anyone could be assessed as a lethal mean that requires an escalation of force or show of force 🤷🏻‍♂️
