Razor was very popular in Brazilian underworld in the first half of past century. It was not held this manner: the blade is open at right angle and kept between index and middle finger, edge upward. There was a popular myth that a silk handkerchief wrapped around the neck protects the wearer against razor cuts.

[@conger34]

Razor: i think the duster grip might work. But anything else is so-so dangerous for the User. This blade has almost no handle at all..,

[@stephenstocks1074]

You haven’t mentioned the use of the belt and belt muckel?

[@kz11377]

I expected to see the use of cane maybe also a stiletto

[@davidroeder7299]

My resource officer in middle school got slashed with a straight razor, needed like 200 stitches. Big Red!

[@toddellner5283]

Heh. My teachers have always said "Assume there are more of them. They're bigger, faster, stronger, armed, and on better drugs than you are."

[@jeffmoore4940]

"Better drugs" 😄

[@gratefulape12]

Fascinating!

[@hcecena]

Thank you Mr Moore!

[@bambatchew]

Is that a sap in your pocket or.... If a woman says that to you, marry her.

[@andrewgatenby9007]

Surely if you're hitting someone by surprise on the back of the head, it's not self defence?

[@billyjohnson2495]

I have carried lots of sap's here in America. It seems very unnatural to me that an Englishman doesn't have the right to defend himself.

[@danielkeizer4174]

Not just England. In half of Europe it's also the same. Holland, Germany, Belgium, Scandinavian countries have different weapon laws. In most your not allowed to use anything to hurt another human being. You know. Because criminals always follow the law and civilians are never their victims.

[@chiefslief1886]

Hi there, are there any videos about a old school colapsible flexible spring cosh baton? I can't find any reviews or videos of that item. Anyway, thanks for these batitsu videos 👍🏻✌🏻

[@billyjohnson2495]

More people should study Bartitsu, its practical and needed badly these days.

[@rowneorees3395]

Can you explain the thing about breaking the collar bone and rendering that arm useless? Is that a thing?

[@jamesdiver2183]

with that small sap at the start, is there a risk of breaking your fingers when hitting the target if your off slightly.

[@warrenraven6729]

Would the psshht sound be a give away?

[@petersmith8968]

all right, that made me smile .

[@rowneorees3395]

Nice video. Do you know . Like when or if, breaking the collar bone. The arm is rendered useless?

[@connorlammin8189]

I've broken both collar bones so I can guarantee your arms won't move if theu are broken

[@connorlammin8189]

The collar bone fucks your shoulder nerves up when it breaks depending on how it breaks cos I broke both of my by getting run over at 40mph and couldn't move either if of my arms at all. So I guess depends on the severity of the injury cos my pal broke his collar beine after falling off his bike but could still move his arm but turns out it was fracture not a break. Literally it depends in the severity of the injury

[@connorlammin8189]

Well the sap is just really assault init if you're going behind someone?

[@greeneyedlunatic7473]

I haven’t seen this video but I always carry a asp baton and a knife or a pepperspray and a brassknukle, I Cary always two sets of weapons one left pocket and outher right pocket. When I got disarmed or my arm has being controlled then secondary weapon will come out.

[@hmldjr]

pepper spray and brass knuckle is my favorite combo too.

[@stephenstocks1074]

You didn’t say anything about fist loads ?

[@TommyMooreww2combatives]

Have a whole video on that on the channel fella 👍

[@sandrodvalishvili3977]

sir can i do to buy this blackjack weapot from you?

[@zlinky1113]

I think you might have watched too much Peaky Blinders, fella.....and maybe had one too many pints before you came up with a martial art containing the word 'T*ts' 🤣🤣🤣
