Self Defense Training - Part III:

The use of Concealed Weapons in Combat..

This section will teach you how to use disguised, concealed weapons that an enemy will not even recognize AS weapons. This deceiving your enemy is one of the core tenets of effective self defense and martial arts instruction and training.

  The weapons you will learn about in this section should be part of any good martial arts or self defense instruction course.. and so, here they are...

Using Medium range Weapons to deal with a Hostile Situation.

  This Self Defense section will teach you to use some effective medium range weapons to deal with hostile situations.

Important: You must read the previous sections on self defense before you study this one, as they will teach you the basics of dealing with a hostile situation...

• Dealing with Fear in Combat
• Basic Combat and Weapons

  Once you've worked on the basics, you can move on to this section, which will tell you how to make (and use) some effective medium range weapons.

  We hope that reading these pages and training at the techniques described here will help you be more confident, and keep you safe in the face of danger.

"Take care, and walk safe."

Now, your medium range weapon can be any one of three, and you can choose:

• Either a woman's leather handbag (or any strong bag with a strong strap), with a 5 pound weight in it;
• Or a knapsack with a one and a half foot long steel bar/metal pipe in it;
• Or a brief case with steel corners.

  More information about each weapon and how to use it is given in this section...

  You should practice with the weapon of your choice against a punching bag, at least twice a week, with at least 20 repetitions of each attack with each hand of all the possible strikes with that weapon.
