I dont care what anyone says, you get hit in the face or neck with one of those baton strikes hes throwing , its lights out. Batons are great I carry one as my regular carry defense tool

Finally someone who actually makes sense, many self defense channels will tell you that a Baton is not a good choice of self defense weapon and then they don't actually say how so.. I carry a knife and a Baton for my everyday defense. living in South Africa with crackheads on every street one can get robbed anytime if they so wish. A baton stands way better chance VS a knife wielding person

54 yrs old, STILL a boxing addict. I was curious about these, really didn't know much. this was the first vid I chose, no need for anymore. so well done! Thank you

The amount of force you use must parallel the amount of danger you're in, good words to live by.

I got one of them from my son when i had trouble with someone, but i never really thought of how to use it effectively, by resting it on the shoulder , exellent demonstration! you quite right if you are going to start swinging it wildly , you are open to counter strikes, concise and clear...thank you..looking forward to the next one! One question though,they tend to come apart,the front section flew out of mine,i had to improvise a repair,but i am not 100% certain of the reliability of it.

Depending on the baton and a few modifications to your sleeve you can carry one in the sleeve of a jacket and deploy it very, very fast and surprisingly. If you have space and the attacker has a knife "jump/glide" back while he advances and target the knifehand. Most knife attacks come in a stabbing/stitching machine motion. The icepickgrip was very common in the middle ages and is interestingly usually the "natural" way women stab.

Some great baton advice now i have a better idea of how to use it in a real situation great video.

Thank you! I use public transportation and I've seen a lot of crazy things on the Internet of people being attacked for no reason on buses and trains. Not taking any chances, thank you for this video!

It’s just the better video about the expendable baton, far away from the academic demonstrations that we can see on KZfaq. It’s the most realistic and effective way to use a telescopic baton.🙏🏻

What do you think about holding a pepper spray or a strobing flashlight in your left hand, in that scenario? Is it a good idea? I mean, spray&strike or blind&strike should be quite effective 🤔

In a survival fight you won’t always have the availability or capability of striking the intended target areas so attack with multiple blows to the vital areas. Remember real targets don’t stand still and allow you to hit strike them

Im here for *Aiden Pearce*

yes absolutely, nothing flashy here. just effective space control while dishing out the damage. much better thsis way

Tried it with my bully and he broke my nose but he ended up with a broken neck , thank you

Good video. I am certified to use a baton as a "non lethal intermediate weapon" as a law enforcement officer. Non lethal strikes are just like what Nick said. We taught the lower body strikes but not the arm strikes because the arm/forearm strikes have a greater risk of breaking the arm and causing serious damage and also missing your target and hitting something in the head or neck area. However like Nick said, you have to think of the baton as a range tool to use in a serious situation. I dont like the idea of a baton as a non lethal weapon. A taser or OC will not kill someone but a baton can easily cause serious damage or death. I would have never used a baton as a non lethal even though I am trained on it. I would have used it like Nick shows here as a deadly weapon to fight against a deadly weapon or potentially deadly weapon and use the range as the advantage. I will save the non lethal for taser and OC. I dont recommend the baton as a non lethal. If you end up using it improperly or you are not actually trained and certified on using it, you can easily get an assault with a deadly weapon charge and be liable for damages or death you cause if the situation didnt warrant using a weapon to defend yourself.

Great stuff man.

Nice video… I found it informative … great job

Good demo& it's a useful ' Self defence' weapon!

Striking the knee could permanently cripple the attacker. It might be justified against knife attack or multiple muggers but know where the green areas are---and that the knee isn't one of them.

Windup to full energy release force and hit the head at 140% strength. This is the best method, especially if the enemy is on drugs. 💥

No mention of hitting the hands. I find that odd. Your Assailant will need those to Hold a weapon or strike you.

States like Viginia allow baton carry. Tennessee also but requires instruction.

I have one. Still had no need to use it..

Next the unbrla vs the sucker punch he should test it

Permit, are you talking about a concealed carry permit?

I know most police need it but I also want to buy for self defense

Awesome video great work!!!!

Great video! May I ask what band and mode of the baton you had used in this video ? And what’s advantage of it ?

Love the videos bro

Hey nick can you do a video about common street fight techniques

Ok...now...How do I defend against an expandable baton if the one who uses this has watched this video?😂

To use a baton as selfdefence weapon, you must have a baton. In Germany it is since 2008 forbidden to carry a baton. So: Carrieing a flashlight in daylight? Carrieing an umbrella at a sunny day? Carrieing a cane as a young or midaged man?

Dont care what anyone says you get hit dead on the muscle or nerve with one of them its gonna fucking hurt. They're bloody metal for fucks sake you get hit with anything metal it will fucking hurt🤣

Awesome

I want that weapon so bad so i can train so hard everyday with it,

What retailers sell this?

It's super easy to cause a permanent disability with this. Drawing an x across the chest makes it survivable with debilitating from the collar bones

it's not illegal to carry those everywhere. check your local laws.

Technically illegal to carry one where?

100% legal to openly carry in Texas. That being said, be smart.

Who says they're illegal?

In California, thongs and loops on batons are illegal, even for the police. Why? Don't know.

No on Prop 27!!!!

1 hand to protect yourself from what? Flies? If guy is in close range, you can throw that shit away, and pray he is not some MMA/Boxing fighter.

I BOUGHT IT 31 EUROS IN GREECE, POSTAGE INCLUDED

I don't see how that works against a knife!

Velocity

다른나라에서는 인증을 받아야 소지할수 있다는데 korea는 누구나 살수있다 나도 소지하고 있지만 칼들고 나타난 사람이 아니라면 꺼내지 않을겁니다

It looks comical but imagine if that thing hits you in the mouth or jaw or worse the groin, oh man its gonna be game over real quick

So you're keeping the weapon protected by keeping it up there and close, and using the wrist. Interesting...though it means you can only ever strike one side. After a few hits you're going to become predictable aren't you? All they have to do is keep one hand up and suddenly you've got a tool that's much less effective, right?

Within 4 seconds he opens the weapon directly in front of him instead of behind and to the ground. Had to stop the video there and stop watching. Rename the video to "How to injure/kill pedestrians..."

terrible sound

This is a terrible technique. Never crack the wrist with the baton. People with weak wrists or who are untrained will break there wrists on impact.

Congratulations. You've shown the mannequin who is the boss :-)

Your audio is horrible. Vid is informative but you sound like your a mile away and in a tunnel.

Just another guy in love with his name and who thinks he is a tough guy

I prefer a glock
