What form of self-defense can be more instinctive than using any ordinary objects around you to protect yourself from the attacker? Objects that were otherwise designed with a view to self-defense, and were not specifically charged for this purpose by you. Objects that also raise suspicion of law enforcement, and will not take on any extra room, since you could still have them on your face or in the environment and in the environment.
A person who has the right motivation, talent and desire to survive, can use almost any object as a weapon.
Everything can become a weapon when your mind becomes a real weapon. Governments cannot ban it, customs cannot confiscate it, and the only time you don’t have it is when you sleep. This is a KEY lesson that you should remove from this article.
In modern anti-piracy climate many times and in many places it is impossible to carry a gun or knife (courts, airports, etc.). Even in your home during a violent invasion, you cannot be near your weapon or even with a knife.
Sometimes all you have left is your tactical creativity, your motivation and ability to think outside the box.
Your mind will always be your greatest weapon, not least because with your intellect and ingenuity you can find the most effective objects for using duels to use as a weapon during an attack. Your mind is a weapon, and with it you are never armed. Wherever you are, I guarantee you that you are surrounded by many potential weapons. Learn to effectively identify them.
Although the desire to use an improvised weapon is often instinctive for an experienced fighter, the effectiveness of such an improvised weapon may depend on how well you need to not only quickly find and select your improvised “weapon”, but also your ability to use this object that effectively disables your attacker. (or will allow you to avoid the threat). And it is this ability that will increase only with the right training.
First, a few thoughts about natural reactions:
Think of the battles you may have seen yourself. What are the first natural reactions that a person experiences when attacking? First, a person raises his hands to block any attack, then they instinctively seize any object that can multiply the expediency of their own “god” of the given weapon (their body and limbs). Often, one of the first such items grabbed a chair, and it is used as a shield. If not a chair, it will be another object that can be used as a weapon or shield. This is an instinctive and natural reaction manifested by experienced fighters and people who do not have the experience of self-defense.
Often the way in which the attacked will use the object depends on their thinking and / or level of aggression and the situation itself. For example, some people attacked will grab a chair and use it only as a shield. Other more aggressive fighters will instinctively start hitting their attacker with the same chair, and then use him as a bright weapon, not a shield. Using a chair or other object as a bright weapon will disrupt your attacker's ability to gain direction, control and control the attack. When using a chair or other object, since the shield can often be useful initially (especially when a sudden attack), you need to quickly gain supremacy and control it with the help of overwhelming force and aggression.
Often, not so much is thought of such a divided second decision in terms of which object you want to strive for. There is simply not enough time for those who are being attacked to weigh the potential effectiveness of one object over another. It will come with experience.
In the end, although almost any object can be used as a weapon or at least a shield, some objects that I am sure you would never have thought about weapons or even shields. Obviously, some objects are more efficient than others.
Below is a list of several possible objects that you could well have in your environment, which could be used as improvised weapons or shields:
Flashlight:
Loved among many self-defense practitioners for many years. Wrap around 550 paracds around it and make a Coppo-type weapon or use it by yourself. In any case, this is a popular alternative weapon (and flashlight!). Can be used for an instant blind attacker or as a strike weapon. Learn how to use it most effectively.
Car antenna:
Listen, especially women who walk alone in car parks! You can quickly break the metal antenna of the car and use it to fight off one or more attackers as a result of beating. Strikes can be very painful and effective, and at the very least, they will stun and prevent the attack from continuing. Remember, often these predators are looking for easy prey. If you prove to the attacker that you will have more problems than your value, he will most likely stop the attack and look for someone who will give him less problems.
Keys:
Not the easiest or most effective option in reality, regularly regularly recommended by protective tools. It should not be your first choice, however, if you have nothing else, it is better than nothing. Hold the key between the middle fingers and use to strike with great effect. Or it can be used to clean the attacker's face.
Steel caps:
Often overlooked, but a very painful alternative weapon is very legal everywhere. Attack the attacker in the shin or groin. A real battle with a good goal.
Pens:
As the saying goes, "the feather is stronger than the sword." Well, of course, it meant figuratively. In any case, when you wear a sword during your daily business, this is not a reasonable option (and I can’t imagine it for most people), the pen makes a rather powerful alternative weapon. Another favorite among seasonal action movies. It can be used as a temporary implementation or as a temporary Kubaton. Hold the handle with a thumb on the clicker or with a blunt end and repeatedly hit or sideways with the pointed end out. Hit the liver, other soft appendages and neck for maximum effect. If you know how to use Kubaton, you know how to use a pen as a weapon. Choose a hefty durable metal handle like the now-discontinued Rotring 600, a muscular hexagonal handle made from chrome-plated brass. Always legal, always useful for an intelligent and competent person, not only for self-defense, but also for a good alternative weapon for the appropriate self-defender.
Beer bottle or other glass bottle:
Be careful with this. Unlike movies, NEVER ever break a bottle on the table, thinking that you will have a sharp knife that looks like a weapon. You will not. In fact, what you will have left is a small piece of a bottle.
This is true. Nothing sharp, sticking out in any length, and nothing that can be effectively used as a weapon.
In fact, for that matter, most of what you see on TV does not work, it was never meant to work, and if you try, you are likely to be in big trouble.
You can still use a glass bottle as a weapon, but first do not break it on the table, do not break it directly on the face of your attacker! It is preferable to use a glass bottle filled with liquids, since an empty one will be much less effective.
Coffee mug or glass or ceramic cup:
Break it on the face of your attacker just like a glass bottle.
If you have hot coffee inside at that time, obviously splash it on your face. Suddenly you will not regret that McDonalds makes your coffee too hot. The hotter the better, as an alternative weapon.
If you have alcohol in your glass, throw it on the attacker's face. Direct your eyes to the sting effect.
Carbine:
Old military stunt. Use a large, as temporary "knuckleduster". Works good. Punch and punch the head and face of the attacker. It is advisable that you have steel, but the aluminum type will work well enough if required.
Armchair:
A chair, not only to keep lions at bay, they can also keep your attacker at bay or protect you from a knife attack. They also make good larger improvised percussion devices, although they are mostly best used as a shield.
Basket cover:
Another big improvised shield. Garbage itself can be thrown into the BG and can at least give you time to escape or use the best weapons.
Chest drawer:
That's right, if you are attacked in your bedroom, immediately take and pull the drawer out of the dresser. It can be used as a shield or even as a strike weapon, like a laptop or a book. Check your drawers right now and see if they come out completely and easily. If they don't, try changing them.
Reed Cane:
One of the best alternative weapons. Huge amazing power. Easy to use and especially effective when using modern methods of dealing with the runes of Arnis Filipino. Always legally, always with you, always in your hand, ready to strike, to disarm or block the attack. However, this may make you seem to be the creator or partially disabled, and this may make you a more desirable victim or target for the attacker. Remember that predators target the weakest people, or, in other words, people who, in their opinion, will fight with the least amount of battles. Remember this and decide for yourself whether the cane is suitable. Of course, in any case, if you are wearing a cane, then look for a combat stick training session.
Castle:
Destructive weapons, you can only hope lucky to have one convenient. Slide the middle finger inside the steel hinge with the rest of the lock in the fist. Use as a temporary fist or fist. Or swing the lock at your attacker, holding it with one finger, and the rest of the lock out. Direct your head, as the lock will be too small to cause damage to the body.
Ashtray:
Usually it is a powerful solid weapon. Take him like a frisbee, and hit him in the attacker's head, face, or stick him in the neck or throat. Throw cigarette butts and ashes in the face, as a distraction.
Journal:
When rolled up, it can be a great strike weapon. It is most effective with the use of fast, strong, short blows repeatedly on the attacker's face and on other more sensitive areas due to the inherent lack of mass of the magazine.
Tie:
If you are a business man in a suit, you have a great flexible weapon or possible garrote as part of your wardrobe. If your attacker is actually the one who wears a tie, you can use it to control or disorientation. Take his tie and pull it down tight.
Please note: this is one of the reasons why I usually advise people not to wear anything that breaks easily around the neck. It’s too easy for someone to use it to control you during an attack, just as you can use the same tactic for someone else.
A laptop:
As recently reported, a celebrity used him as a weapon against the annoying paparazzi with great effect. Hold with both hands and slam your striker in the face with full force or push him out and press his face, neck or middle with the sides / edges of a closed laptop. Can also be used against a shield against an attacker weapon or strike.
clipboard:
Used the same way as a laptop. It has thinner and sharper edges, however, on the other hand, it also has less weight and may be less painful due to this.
Book:
Not only good for reading and learning. It is used in the same way as a laptop and clipboard, although a book will have more than a clipboard.
Portfolio:
You already hold it, and it has a secure descriptor. Paste it into the attacker's face / head or use it as a shield. Move it off with the briefcase and run. Open the briefcase and pick up another alternative weapon that was mentioned here, such as a magazine, pen, etc.
Lamp:
You usually have a lamp near your home. Take it and break it on the face of your attacker. Use the cord as a flexible weapon.
Fire extinguisher:
Previously used with great effect. Destructive force. Aim for head / face. Makes a great shield too. Also spray the contents directly on the attacker. It at least confuses him, he will often even hide your way out from behind a cloud of white dust.
Put in the car. In any case, you should have one in your car for fire safety, but it can even save your life if you need to use it as a weapon.
Scotch:
Not a weapon as such, but makes good handcuffs to hold your attacker until the police arrive. Large zippers are a good alternative to adhesive tape.
Switch:
Darkness is a brilliant weapon under the right circumstances. If you are attacked at night, the light switch can be the best “weapon” for protection without being really a weapon as such. Just turn off the lights. Darkness is a tactical advantage for you, because you know the layout of your own house, while your attacker does not. You also know where you have other weapons and escape routes. Darkness can also just give you the time it takes to escape. In addition, the darkness will increase the blinding effect of the flashlight, if you carry it.
Clothing:
Do you wear a coat or scarf? A coat or jacket can be used to protect against an attacker’s knife or other weapon. Wrap it around your weak arm and strike and protect yourself with a strong hand and feet.
Long sleeves can also be used as a flexible weapon to choke or entangle limbs.
If on your bike:
Your helmet, tire pump and flexible bicycle locks are potential shock devices.
Even the bike itself can act as an effective shield against the attacker. This will be a good obstacle between you and you, giving you time to escape. If necessary, it can even be thrown at the attacker.
Belt buckle:
Heavy brass or steel. Can strike a big impact weapon. It may even be swung to the attacker, as it is attached to your belt.
Belt:
Even without a heavy buckle, your belt may be one of the best flexible arms available.
Sprays:
Any spray will do brilliantly. Think what kind of spray do you have? Hair spray? Deodorant? Air freshener? Silicone spray? I personally have everything and all these sprays right here when I type it, away from the spray of hair. All of these sprays will blind your attacker in much the same way as pepper spray. If you smoke, you probably will be easier. Add a lighter before spray and you have a great flamethrower. I'm sure we all tried it when we were kids.
At the very least, the spray can be used as a strike weapon, if nothing else.
Crest:
Especially metal comb.
With success, you can rake the attacker's face.
Umbrella:
Always another favorite. The big ones make good strike weapons and improvised weapons to fight the stick. Also open a large shield a la Roman style. Some of the full-sized ones have a pointed bit, sometimes 2 to 3 inches in length, so when you protect yourself, you can also push the open umbrella forward into the attacker's face and body.
Smaller umbrellas are also good, but, of course, they are less durable and have less power due to lack of size.
Iron:
Excellent overall home device. It can cause a lot of damage from being used as a bright weapon, and again most irons have an electrical cord, which also creates a good flexible weapon.
Broom or mop:
Another long percussion device. Can be used as a long stick to fight a stick. It can also be used to keep an attacker at a distance.
Your car:
Although this does not always justify the use of lethal force in this way, since it can be argued that if you are inside your car, you can safely, if a gang of hooligans or an angry crowd of the middle east surround your car, you have an effective 3000 pound weapon. From time to time, lethal force can be justified depending on the situation, including any disparity of force between you and the attacker (s) and the resulting danger that you face at that time. Your main goal should be to escape in this case, but if necessary, start a bully to affect your escape.
Phone:
Excellent impact device, very convenient. Telephone cord also provides a good flexible weapon if you know how to use it effectively.
Телефоны использовались много раз в качестве ударных устройств.
Монеты:
Бросьте монетки из кармана в лицо атакующему. Еще одна хорошая диверсионная тактика.
Упакованный рулон монет также может сделать хорошую кулачную нагрузку и использовался много раз как таковой.
Спортивный инвентарь:
Теннисная ракетка, гольф-клуб, пул для бассейна, очевидная и часто используемая бейсбольная бита, гантели и т. Д. Все это отличные ударные устройства. Держите несколько гольф-клубов и мячей в своем автомобиле, даже если вы не играете. Или бейсбольная бита и перчатка, а может быть, и несколько мячей, чтобы не поднять подозрение в LEO.
Смотреть:
Предпочтительно тяжелые стальные погружные часы. Снимите часы с запястья и оберните их вокруг кулака, с которым вы стреляете (сильная рука). Первый удар должен сломать стекло, и последующие удары могут сократить вашего атакующего. Даже если стекло не сломается и не разрезает его, оно, тем не менее, будет хорошим импровизированным ударным устройством.
Браслет:
Стиль а-ля Фред Перрин. Работает только с твердым цельным браслетом, а не с гибким типом. Сняв металлический браслет и держи его в кулак. Используйте как ударное устройство для удара.
Твой голос:
Ваш голос может быть отличным импровизированным оружием, где бы вы ни находились.
Устно можно часто останавливать, контролировать или, по крайней мере, влиять на направление атаки. Здесь слишком обширный предмет, чтобы войти сюда. Узнайте о вербальных командах и навыках общения в защитных целях / перенаправлении агрессивного поведения атакующего к вам. Иногда известен как словесный дзюдо. Любое хорошее боевое искусство или система самообороны должны решать эту тему.
---- Одна нота об использовании гибкого оружия:
Как вы можете видеть, многие потенциальные вооружения, о которых я упоминал в этом небольшом списке, являются гибкими, например, электрический шнур и одежда. Имейте в виду, что, как и в случае с самым гибким оружием, для наиболее эффективного использования необходимы специальные знания в рукопашном бою. Гибкое оружие просто не так прямолинейно, как пусть стул или даже книга, которая будет инстинктивно использоваться в качестве щита часто даже людьми с небольшим опытом или без опыта самообороны.
Это, конечно, небольшая выборка возможностей. Было бы невозможно перечислить для вас все возможное альтернативное использование «оружия» / объектов, с которыми вы могли столкнуться, которые могут быть очень полезны при атаке. Список будет слишком большим, и никто не сможет узнать, что будет доступно вам в вашей конкретной среде в то время. Очевидно, что некоторые среды богаче потенциальным альтернативным оружием, чем другие. Это ваша работа, чтобы тренировать себя, чтобы идентифицировать это потенциальное оружие из любых объектов вокруг вас.
С этого момента взгляните на объекты вокруг вас с другим глазом. Посмотрите на объекты в своем окружении через своего рода «оружие». В частности спросите себя, какие из них могут стать эффективным оружием? Как бы вы его использовали? Будет ли этот объект действительно причинять вред вашему злоумышленнику и отключить его, или это просто пустая трата времени? Иногда объект создавал бы такое плохое оружие, что лучше сражаться с невооруженным. Научитесь точно оценивать потенциальное оружие в своей среде.
Никто не может на самом деле проинструктировать вас или показать вам каждый объект, который может быть использован в качестве оружия. Прежде всего, это образ мышления, который вам нужно будет развивать. Подготовка и обучение - лучший способ помочь обеспечить лучший шанс для успеха в случае самообороны. Но как только вы разберетесь с этим ситуационным сознанием и мышлением выживания, вы будете гораздо лучше подготовлены к защите себя в любой ситуации, чем когда-либо прежде, потому что у вас будет инстинктивное понимание и применение самообороны в качестве образа жизни.
Подумайте, вне поля, подумайте, как боец, как кто-то, кто привержен самосохранению и защите близких от социальных хищников.
Потенциальное оружие вокруг вас.
Теперь просто вопрос идентификации.
