One reason I chose the key defender OC is it doubles as a kubaton and OC dispenser. Very effective.
I believe Krav Maga has been the most practical MA I have taken, but form the LE days Pressure Point Control Tactics is still uesful, and when I took Taekwondo my organization had licensed PPCT and we practiced it often.
We also practiced weapons like the Bahng Mahng EE (short stick or baton), and Jahng Bong (staff). Many everyday objects can be sued to emulate these weapons.

Kevin, you and I have our differences in thinking pretty often, so in case I have never made this clear; I have an enormous respect for what you do. There is high potential danger all of the time. I cannot imagine working in that environment.KBCraig wrote:I work in an environment that is technically --if somewhat euphemistically-- "weapons free". And of course, anything and everything can be a weapon in the hands of an assailant, so we're taught to use anything and everything as a weapon in self defense.
Staplers. Phones. Keyboards. Fire extinguishers. Mop wringers. Broom handles. Key rings. (A ring full of Folger-Adams keys can weight two or three pounds. On the end of a 24" choke collar, they make a darned effective flail.)
The official Bureau position is: "Anything you can lay hands on is a legitimate defensive tool in an immediate-use-of-force scenario."
Anyone who's ever been in an all-out fight knows that 30 seconds is a looooong fight, and will leave you utterly exhausted just in time to face the next wave of attackers. Don't dilly-dally. Bring the heavy guns out first (so to speak), and end the fight now!
Kevin
Stay safe in there.
