This clip was inspired by Module 11 of the Self Defense Training System titled "Old School Weapons and Tactics". In this clip Damian Ross of The Self Defense Company converts a few simple household items into a devastating impact weapon. Using a simple bandanna and a weighted object, in this case some steel nuts or a weight from a balloon display, you can have an incredibly effective impact weapon. We have used used everything from fishing weights, loose change to ball bearings and it all works well. Sure you can do this many other items like a sock for example. But it's a lot easier to explain why your carrying a bandanna easier than it is a sock. If you're in law enforcement it's a good idea to store this type of thinking in the back of your head.
Most times the best weapons aren't even weapons at all. In Module 8 of the SDTS "Weapons Defense" we show you a plethora (thank you "Three Amigos") of weapons that you can pick up at your local hardware store. It doesn't have to be "combat certified" to do severe damage. Any number of hand tools are extremely lethal if used in the correct manner. This is something to keep in mind when you're thinking of home defense. A lot of people will go through great lengths to secrete various weapons throughout their homes. This s fine, but many times they will pass perfectly good tools to get to the one they've hidden. One exercise you can do is when you walk into a room, look for something that can be used as a weapon. Mark it's location and imagine how that weapon could be implemented. It's real simple and takes only seconds.
There are many states and countries that outlaw certain types of weapons. If you live in a place that outlaws pepper spray, wasp and hornet repellent makes a great substitute. The point is, restricting weapons NEVER stops men from dong evil to one another. For every new law, the criminal has figured out 10 ways around it. Remember the "Club". That device that locked your car's steering wheel into position? It took the car jacking world 5 seconds to figure out that if you cut the car's steering wheel with a hack saw, the club popped right off.
Where there is a will, there is a way. It works for booth good and evil.
Stick with the Pepper Spray. Wasp spray will NOT work on those which cannot feel pain i.e. drugs and/or alcohol. Pepper spray is an inflammatory which will slam the eyes shut no matter the situation. That's why over 40,000 law enforcement agencies nationwide carry it.
Here's the deal "anonymous". First, if you comment and want to be taken seriously, please use your name. Here's the truth about pepper spray (it doesn't work all of the time). Here's another truth Mr. Helper (there are many states and countries that don't allow police or citizens to carry it). Here's another fact, if you were training in the SDTS you would know that pepper spray is only used as a distraction, not a fight-ender. But hey, you bring up a good point, the police always have the right tools, the ASP is a real life saver. And their tactics are NEVER liability based (I'm being sarcastic here).
