What Is the most versatile weapon on the planet? The stick of course! A three foot long by one inch diameter stick in the hands of the right person can be more leathal than all other weapons combined and and best of all this weapon is always readily available.
Jabbing the tip end of your stick into the Solar Plexus of your attacker will double him over in pain and put a quick ending to his threat. He will not be able to breath correctly for a few seconds because you have disrupted one of the largest central nerve stations in the body causing the natural rhythm of the heart and lungs to go haywire. He will double over in mind numbing pain and begin to try and regain his breath, but before he does you grab the other end of your stick with both hands, like a sword, and swing it down in a wide arch slamming it into the base of his skull. The threat will now be ended and your attacker will be left unconcious and in critical condition. Now the only thing left to do is to pull out your cell phone and make a few calls, first for an ambulance for your would be attacker and second to the cops to make a police report of the incident.
This is just one of the many thousands of simple ways that you can protect yourself with just a little old stick. It does'nt matter what age you are, if your a man or woman, or how strong you are. Anyone can learn to use a stick effectively for the purpose of self defence. Sticks are lightweight and easy to handle. You dont have to have the swinging arm of a major league baseball player to hurt someone very badly with them. In the demonsration above there are only two moves to dropping your attacker. The first requires that you simply hold the stick in both hands (one hand at each end of the stick) and then slide the stick through the forehand into the midsection of your attacker. You did'nt even move your body to do this! Then when he doubles over you simply step back a bit to gain a little distance and wack him in the back of the head. You will hardly break a sweat, but you will nearly break your attackers head wide open!
The best thing about learning to defend yourself with a stick is that you can be assured that your weapon will always be close to you. In nature sticks will be lying around everywhere you look. In a store there will be all kinds of things that you can pick up and utilize as a stick weapon. I read an article recently about a little girl who was malested in a department store. The article featured a still frame from the stores security cameras of the little girl and her attacker not more than five foot from the clothing section racks. If only the little girl would have known the concepts of this art she could have snatched one of the racks top rungs off and beat the cold living hell out of that guy! Would'nt that have been a sight to behold?
There are also a great many elderly men and women who have to carry a cane to aid them in walking. There is no better sefl defense weapon than a cane. So you think that little old lady is the perfect target for a would be attacker. Well, watch out! With very little sefl defense training and a good walking cane grandma becomes one mean *#@! She does'nt have to be an athelete to take down her attacker. She only needs to raise the tip end of that cane off the floor while he's advancing on her. He will literally run into the cane tip and the pressure caused by that advancing movement is enough to double him over. All granny's gotta do now is lift the cane up and drop the heavy end of it (the end that is use to hold onto while walking) into the base of his skull. The fights over and grandma is free once again to continue her peacful little walk.
I urge everyone who is concerned about self defense to begin paying more attention to their surroundins everywhere they go. Look for these stick weapons everywhere and learn how to use them. Buy books and videos on the subject and get the whole family envolved. Take a peaceful weakend and get everyone together in the back yard for a little stick fighting practice. There are also foam rubber sticks available at martial arts suppliers for the purpose of practice or you can even use a few of those foam floats that they sell in department stores for use in the pool. Wrap 'em up with a little black duct tape to make them more sturdy and have a ball.
