[@yamiyomizuki]

so when fighting baton vs knife, the one using the baton should be trying to defend by attacking the arm holding the knife, not by praying the knife blade since the knife is to short. it's also a good idea to use superior range to strike at the head and ribs with the baton. if you want to really do this test properly you need to get the person with the knife in protective gear and test those things.

[@gerym341]

Excellent point.

Pretty sure they are testing the usefulness of the guard in specific. Obviously the baton outranges the knife and would win if used aggressively.

[@VTPSTTU]

I'm not a big fan of the collapsing batons. I'd rather have a weapon that I can use to thrust, and batons are made to collapse when they strike something hard in a thrusting motion. However, the idea of a guard on a baton is interesting. Maybe they could add something that would lock the baton open when the guard is turned into place. That would be a very nice weapon.

[@stuffguru]

Locking batons have been a thing for years now if you don't know

[@Ilyas-ty6cy]

Well, the issue is, weapon that good for thrust motion mostly is not versatile to hide and carry around. But there's already baton with feature with automatic system in locking mode that exist more than decade ago. So when it's lengthed even showly it just locked automatically and permanently, and you just need to press the button on the bottom of the baton if you want to shorten it again. Usually these type of baton can be quite expensive. Also these type of baton is also already common to use by the Cops in many countries. But still, this type of baton with automatic lock feature, still can end up fail to handle something over-pressure thrust, so if you try to thrust object or person too hard than the lock can handle, sometimes the baton lock feature will unlocked it self because the lock can't handle pressure when it's too great. but that still much better than your typical classic manual baton that rely on friction to get locked. Also basically still the best thing you can get now as versatile combat stick.

[@VTPSTTU]

@@stuffguru None of the batons that I've seen advertised have had a locking mechanism. All of them would close with a sharp axial tap on the end of the baton. I know that the "lock" in place when they are extended, but they unlock and collapse when struck hard on the end.

[@VTPSTTU]

@@Ilyas-ty6cy Thanks, I have never seen this type of baton advertised. All of the ones I've seen have been without the button on the bottom that would hold the baton locked until released. I would consider the button to be a big improvement, but I understand how designing that system would add to the cost. Knowing that the lock system might still fail would discourage me from buying one.

[@Ilyas-ty6cy]

@@VTPSTTU Well, I mean, these equipment are mean to use by officer or special unit police. Of course you will never hear or see advertisement about it. But base on my experience since I also own that type of baton, the lock actually still strong enough to be used for thrust in level to actually hurt person, even yes just to make sure just not overly hard especially to hard object, even with casual strength it's actually enough to hurt person especially when hit on the chest. Also just said you did it overly hard and the baton lock collapse, then no issue, you can just lengthed again, it's locked and it's ready for another thrust. Usually a known brand that sell this baton are, ASP Monadnock, Bonowi, and NEX. But for myself I basically have some connection to buy a subsidied version that used as standard equipment for a Cops in my country. So I can get it with cheaper price with no needed to pay for imported delivery cost and extra tax.

In concept, I like it, but I think a redesign is warranted. Rotating the guard open should act like a 'forward assist' and push the baton into the fully extended and fully locked position, and you should not be able to collapse the baton without folding the guard.

[@wanderingcalamity360]

Agreed.

[@submijiru]

This. I also assumed it would lock the baton. As the weakness of baton is that it might collapses when you use it to lunge or riposte to keep your opponent at bay; which is also why one would need a guard.

[@pyronic120120]

I was thinking the same when watching the video. Why not make a mechanism that locks the batton in the open position when rotating the guard. In fact this is exactly what I thought when I first watched the video and then disappointed when I found out it wasnt as such.

[@Jason-Moon]

I have been looking at videos of these, and I also thought the baton locked when the guard was opened until I saw this video. It's really begging for that to be the design. Why in the world is that NOT the design? Not having the baton lock creates danger for the wielder through unpredictability, shifting weight, and inaccuracy! It boggles my mind that it isn't actually designed the way it's clearly meant to be designed.

[@rickeyleon3812]

[@nathanhelmburger]

Probably 90% of the value would be from looking intimidating and causing the assailant to decide it wasn't worth messing with you. For that purpose, I think a flashlight with surprise taser arc setting is even better. Plus, it's just so reasonable to already be carrying the flashlight at night. Having a reason to have it out already is a big plus. That's also why the sturdy umbrella is a good option.

[@kaoskronostyche9939]

If you want them to get close enough so you can use a non-projecting tazer you are already dead. If it is a projecting tazer, what if you miss or they have a thick leather jacket on. If you are willing to trade a steel rod for an umbrella, you clearly don't know what you are talking about. When I am out at night, I have a 1500 Lumen headlamp on tight focus with a baton deployable to one hand and a pepper spray or stabby-pointy thing to the other ... depending on my mood.

I really fail to see how you can implicate you are evaluating the self defense capability of a weapon when your evaluation style is so severely biased by what I have no doubt is your very well exercised practice of kenjutsu. The way the knife is being wielded would make any army instructor from any nation cringe to see the base grip flailing slice style. And to see a baton used to defend against that flailing with range mauling side parries is completely unbelievable. I understand that you were attempting to demonstrate the weapon only in a defensive role but sadly I believe you have enfolded how those weapons are more commonly used into the confines of the body motions more reflective of your sport and woefully negligent of actual self defense maneuvers. I believe a little research and practice of knife use as well as baton use in self defense scenarios would make for a far more realistic demonstration and evaluation of the efficacy of the weapon(s).

I've found a baton to be one of the most effective LE weapons for combat scenarios within arms reach. When I used two I employ them as I would two short swords or w/one folded along my support-side forearm while the strong-side is poised to strike....two expandable PR-24's would be ideal but w/ Tactical Batons the support-side holds one in "reverse grip".

of course it is hard to block a small knife with a large bulky object. harder to swing and counter for one, the knife wielder can move faster and stop and change directions much easier and faster. hence why they train you to go after the arm rather then try to stop the knife or deflect it as 99.99% of the time you get cut if you do, where as dodge the knife attack and going after arm lowers risk of being cut. may still get cut but you then have a high chance of disarming them and ending the fight before more cuts/stabs that put you down take place. best bet is to keep your distance against a knife if you don't have a firearm or ranged taster/prepper spray. using a baton best to also go for the arm to get them to drop the knife. a good hit to the arm anywhere really will cause almost anyone to drop the knife and attempt to shield the wounded arm. unless you go around wearing gauntlets and gloves that cannot be cut/stabbed through try to avoid knifes, go for arm if you cannot avoid.

I think having this Baton defend against a knife is a big ask, as you can just be more agile with a knife. A weapon like a baton that is going to be less agile in the hand, but afford more reach than most weapons an assailant will use against you, demands that you use it pro-actively to beat an attacker back or batter their weapon aside, rather than fending attacks off, which does make the guard somewhat pointless. I think a more standard and less complicated design like you find in a Sai or Jitte would be more ideal if you really felt like you needed this feature in the design. Something that isn't going to add a lot of bulk and weight to the baton to make it more unwieldy, but with a rising parallel guard to the weapon for weapon captures and limb manipulation. Similarly with defending against the Kendo, it's again probably much lighter in the hand, with the added advantage of having two leverage points to give even more control to get around the defense of a baton in a flash. I don't know how you could have defended against her with that at all. I do like the idea of carrying a baton for defense, but in the telescoping design of how they deploy and retract, they are a little inconvenient and unreliable. I've never seen one that I felt too happy about.

Nice video, you guy should try looking up Arnis, eskrima or any of the other southeastern Asian styles.

[@johncartwright8154]

Illegal to possess one here in England!

[@Raycheetah]

Perhaps surprisingly, also illegal (to carry) in many municipalities in the US. ='[.]'=

[@myname-mz3lo]

if an untrained person hits someone on the head with these they die ... and since lethal weapons are illegal that makes sense ... use a strong flashlight tazer and its waaaay better than a batton .

[@lloydlego6088]

Gov does not want us to have fun. At least in the USA we have the second amendment. I think it should apply to swords, batons and knives. If we can carry a gun, restricting knives is just being a killjoy.

Hola, saludos como puedo comprar este Bastón Táctico, para Chile

[@redpillcommando]

Where would I find one of these?

[@reka10]

I think they just have a major skill disparity. Dude wasn't even trying to counter attack.

[@charlesbenoitthomad]

Where to get that super long sword baton with out guard?

[@paulcanfield4157]

Attacking without fear of a counter allowed her to make attacks she couldn't otherwise make without sacrificing her own defense. I understand the point was to show how the guard allowed for several more blocks/deflections than the unguarded baton. It's improbable that someone with a knife would see the person with a baton and continue the fight. The double baton and kendo swords... well in Japan it'd make sense but not in Texas. 🥷🦯🔫🤠

Boa noite Tenho interesse em adquirir esse produto. Como fazer pra comprar?

[@robertroelofs7131]

Any self defense is great, but the best self defense in a knife fight, is just to run away!

[@Jamesnebula]

If I had to choose a weapon to defend myself, which I never would. I would choose something that causes pain but no lasting injury. So if it was taken off me, I would have to endure pain but it wouldn't break my head in.

[@shadowolverine]

Brand? Where to buy?

[@celestialnubian]

He definitely was not using the Baton properly. If I had that baton there is no way she could've closed the distance to use her knife.

[@nelson0922]

How can I purchase one of these batons

[@WakingDreamer01]

That's the issue with the test for these batons...you were only testing it for defense. And the knife wielder knows in this test that the baton is NEVER going to strike back - hence she was fearless and always slashing non-stop. If she was told that baton user can strike back at ANY / EVERYTIME. The knife wielder is already beat psychologically as the batons have much better reach.

What i learned from Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! is that 2 crowbars works far better as a defence weapon and you can hide them pretty easly
