Going to Vegas, but I'm not going un protected, need a wearable baton. The Internet sucks for a simple solution, I'd prefer none lethal, not saying I want the chance to go full throttle on someone who threatens me or my girl but I'm not going to be empty handed submitted by /u/asdf4g1981 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

18 years old 1-1 record in fights both by KO. Both times I was just throwing fists and hoping for the best. What form of martial arts will help me the most in a street fight? submitted by /u/TankSinatra4 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Backstory. Got framed that supposedly I cussed out someone. He confronted me, punched me and I pushed him. Now him, his older brother and at least 30 teenagers, of which most may have knives (This might be racist but from my personal experience, almost every teenager their nationality has knives in my country and make problems for no reason). What the fuck do I do? I'm honestly on the verge of exploding myself and killing them in the middle of classes. submitted by /u/Snickersnook [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I’d like some self defense tips for defending myself and property in a situation like this. Canada seems very limited in terms of options. submitted by /u/civildrivel [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

A few years ago I had an individual attempt to attack me in a parking lot. I’m ok and since have brushed it off since it was assumed the guy was on drugs or drunk. I since have been carrying Sabre Gel on me since it doesn’t have a strong blow back, is sticky, and contains a UV dye for suspect identification. I have been told that I need to test spray it (which I have), and if I haven’t been sprayed with it before to see how I react should not be carrying it. Problem is I am a student pilot, I value my vision a lot and last thing I need to have is damage to my eyes from testing out if my peppe ..read more

I am a 26Y Female who carries mace with me at all times. However I’ve recently heard about the stinger whip and wanted to make sure I’m educated on carrying it additionally to my mace. I mainly walk my dog and although I carry my mace I wonder if it could potentially get on my dog in case of an emergency. Which is why I have been gravitating on carrying a stinger whip. I’ve heard lots of great things and thought this is a great for my lifestyle. I was thinking of potentially connecting it to my dog walk bag - but I don’t want to be irresponsible in carrying a self defense tool. I’m trying to ..read more

Hello. My wife just started a new job, and she gets off work when it's dark. She has to walk a few city streets to the parking lot, and the location isn't the safest. There is a high chance she will be robbed or attacked at least once in the next 10 years. (I work for the same company, but in a different area, and there are often safety emails about robberies of employees in her work area.) I want to buy her a pepper spray that works without fail and won't leak. I'm thinking aerosol makes more sense than gel so her aim does not need to be precise. I've been checking out this subreddit and see ..read more

So my friends and I will be wrestling against each other tomorrow for fun. I’m usually picked on for being the shortest one in the group and this will be a good opportunity to prove them wrong. They all have no wrestling knowledge so their only advantage on me is a few inches of height. I played kick boxing and karate growing up but i have no wrestling experience. What are some last minute tips I could use? Thanks!! No punching involved. Just seeing who can take the other person down quicker and I think make them tap out. submitted by /u/thebitcoinboyy [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I'm a 40 yo male, married with father of two children and to be honest I'm just so sick and tired of being afraid all the time whenever I go outside. It's ridiculous. I hear people shouting or cursing and my heartrate immediately goes up, I withdraw and make myself small. I never make eye contact, I always try to avoid any confrontation. I fcking hate it. Now that I am a father I despise myself because I am worried I won't be able to defend my children or my wife if necessary. I've even noticed I start hushing my son (7 yo) in public if I feel anyone might take offense if he says something co ..read more
