Best self defense advice I was ever given...Try to remain composed enough to determine if you are defending your safety or your pride..One will heal much faster than the other❤️ A bruised ego Will suck... But a sucking chest wound sucks a LOT WORSE if things go south.

Wow Kyle! Really good and pertinent content in this video! When I had my shop, I used to make the kitty puncher for lady friends on my 3D printer. Never saw the shark bite key chain. Really cool! The thing about these is that you always have your key chain in your hand intentionally. These are very close range if you’re ever grabbed. I believe that there are stages of self defense weapons like the samurai had. When the big sword was disabled then one brought out the short sword and then the knife etc. I believe people today need to do the same thing. Pepper spray, if they keep coming use the knuckle weapons and if grabbed use the small stun gun. It is a scary time around the world and people need to think about that. Thanx again Brother!!!!

I completely agree John! I wish I could have said it that well in my video, but I really just try to record quickly without thinking too much.

Do not diss the plastic stuff. G10/fibreglass blades have a place. Hide such a blade in the pot plant at the front door. It does not rust. It does not set off any metal detectors. You can also turn the shark tool around and the tail can do damage on the downward stroke of your fist.

SUGGESTION: * The "Cat Spike" key-chains should actually be marketed as "jewelry" worn around your neck with a very flimsy chain so you can grab it quickly by putting your fingers in the holes and "yanking" it off your neck and then used for defense. * Because we've labeled it as "jewelry" (because it looks like a cat), it's easier to explain to "you know who" if you're ever questioned! Amen Retired, Veteran
@Karatemart Жыл бұрын
I wish it were that easy, Brad, but just like trying to market knuckle dusters as belt buckles, the authorities are wise to that. We just do our best to only sell them to places where they are legal, but because laws change constantly and the laws pertain to not only the State, but the County, City and Municipality as well, it’s nearly impossible to keep up with the laws. That’s why it’s important for people to check their local laws before purchasing anything. Thanks so much for your suggestion. I think hanging one on a necklace would make it very easy to utilize the self-defense keychain if necessary. Have an awesome weekend!
