  • Does anyone else know where I could get a good quality baton that can also close without having to slam it on the ground? I got a cheap chinese made one a long time ago more as a gag gift/toy etc. But I would like to get the real deal.

  • If I carried one of these batons with me, could I get arrested for carrying a concealed weapon?

  • @streamingmadly I think it really depends on local laws.

  • @streamingmadly That all depends on what state you live in. I live in IL and carry a tonfa style baton, and never have problems.

  • Is Officer Jared a Kiwi?

  • @davidbmason Yes, he originally was.

  • @davidbmason ...Kiwi?

  • @MrDocProfHe From New Zealand Kiwi is a rare bird from New Zealand and many Australians and other people from around the world use Kiwi to mean someone from New Zealand, in a nice way.

  • @davidbmason ...Well now I know, and knowing is half the battle. "G.I. JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOE!

  • Hey, it's Jared the Pekiti Tirsia kali instructor, I'm waiting to get the Browning knives he helped design!

  • @EntryStackEnthusiast I think he was also featured in the Shaolin vs Maori episode of Deadliest Warrior as well XD

  • I'd also use a flashlight in the non baton holding

    hand at night,to increase your tactical edge(strobe

    mode).

    Great video

  • Good stuff.

  • 2:29 LOL

  • Less Talking. More doing. bye @ 5:08

  • @tohottohoot You will not be missed.

  • ASP Airweight

  • Sweet video! Thanks for posting. Very important and interesting topic. Any possibilities in more of this type of martial arts or defensive home training things in the future?

  • Asp,Esp and Monadnock are the best batons I know of ,Azans are affordable copies of Asps and they are decent for the cash but not quite up there with the rest.

  • hey fancy could you do some vids for armed security officers cause we deal with some crazy people beleave i know i have. but like on duty gear.

  • Thank you for posting the videos. God bless you.

  • can somebody tell me! how to fold the baton back to the handle type after used?! i don't want to hit the baton to the ground, it's hard and noisy....

  • I want to see a collapsible bo staff

  • what is best baton ? not concern about price...what is it ?

  • @Jackyrick99 regarding the best baton, get an ASP or the one from the vid...the camlock

  • Cheers and Thankx for the vid. Good tips!

  • thanks nutnfancy and thankyou to the officers really great video

  • Love the KISS technique. Ye he is so right, more fancy more work and more to go wrong.  Learned a lot.

  • Shit that looks painful.

  • Just watching an episode of Deadliest Warrior from season 1 or 2 - Shaolin Monk vs. Maori Warrior, I just realized it's Officer Jarrod.

  • great video. very very helpful. keep it up!

  • Kali/Silat?

  • This is by far the best baton video I have seen. Better than the Federal Marshal vid even.

  • Decent vid - but you really do take your time getting to the point - don't you.

  • I read the state constitution and I am fairly certain that they are, but can anyone tell me if batons are legal in the state of New Hampshire?

  • @SuperR3volver should be legal everywhere.

  • I'm getting the ASP 21" baton in a couple of days... this was pretty helpful.

  • My oldman (ex-screw) taught me all this back when I was a kid. Taught me to take them down as fast as possible and break as many bone's as possible so they cant get back up. Main targets he taught me was wrists, knees and collar bone's. Very practicle knowledge

  • Are you still going to do a separate table-top review of the camlock baton??

  • ive looked every where cant find where to buy it?

  • i may have to trade in my 21'' asp for this.

  • cool...where can you buy this baton?? I've looked everywhere...

  • Outstanding job.

  • Thanks buddy, great techniques. Jimmy

  • Thanks a lot for this.

    I plan on buying either the baton in this video (bonawi/smartlock) or an the steel friction lock asp 21" for self defense, and this has helped. Tons.

    I do loads of biking and hiking locally and something like this would be terrific to have on my belt or in my pack along with pepper spray.

    Thanks again.

  • the new sword

  • Whats a great baton for a reasonable price, i really dont want to spend much.

  • Great video! OJ put a lot of good info. But as a CIV sheepdog there are some things that I would be liable for that OJ as an LEO will not. Disengaging vs. engaging is the honey that attracts the bee of lawsuits. It is a very fine line. I worked as a contracted FPO (Force Protection Officer) responsible for Access Control to US military installations in Germany. We had PR24 batons for static guards and ASP for vehicle mounted patrols. ASP are good for carrying but PR24 is my favorite.

  • Hey will there be anymore videos like this? I really enjoy them

  • I think OJ was on deadliest warrior. (Shaolin monk, and Maori)

  • And, in Australia we don't even need a licence for batons, yet ARs and Carbines, you need bullshit licences that cost like 5k a year. WTF?

  • Man, his hits on the bag sounded like a friggin shottie goin off!

  • @nutnfancy I really love the knowledge you are passing on to us nutn. Thanks

  • Its not retreating , it's advancing..., toward future victory!

  • dude i love batons but i got a question for you what do you prefer baton,pepper spray or a taser i prefer a baton cause more hits and its all one peice and this question isnt just for nutnfancy this is a question for everybody

  • love the content

  • AT 18:03 SOMEONE WAS CHECKING OUT OJS OTHER GEAR ;-)

  • Im interested in becoming certified in using an asp baton in baltimore, maryland

  • I was at Tyndall AFB and I saw a US Customs guy walk in that looked just like him. With the mark on the face and everything.

  • Man I don't want to get hit by that baton

  • Very cool--thanks for posting.

  • i live in CA just tried to buy one of these for an EDC self defence option guess what, they are illegal here...but yet the cops are walking around with them and "high cap" mags and ARs with detatacable 30rd mags, i have no respect for any CA cop who uses equipment that we as soverigns can not use our selfs for personal defense...

  • Was OJ on the Deadliest Warrior? He seems familiar...

  • @SuperUltra64 Yes, he was.

  • @SuperUltra64 he IS the deadliest warrior

  • Comment removed

  • @goodnightChesty1775 I agree after seeing some of his moves

  • @SuperUltra64

    I think he is. 

  • @jambi99 Stay off this channel, troll. -- Veri

  • I like how he points out that simple fundementals,are the starting point,and that 90 percent of the time,that simple fundementals are what even the experts use,(BECAUSE THEY WORK)Period.

  • Wow first time I have heard a guy tell it strait on batons and 'real fights'. I learned how to use baton in the SCA way back in the early 80s... this guy knows his stuff... the only crit I might point out is this... By picking up a baton type weapon I have already decided that my opponent must go down fast. therefore 80% of all strikes must go to the head. That way I force him to block or dodge my strike, forcing him to move or get hurt, and getting hurt is what I want him to do.

  • @norvman Striking someone in the head constitutes deadly force. If you are doing that just pull your gun.

  • @grunttwice2006

    Correct...

    But I would only reach for a baton in an instance that I did not have a fire arm available to me...

    I however cannot speak to the subject from a Policeman's perspective, where there might be some kind of legal restriction on the use of 'deadly force'

  • @norvman More than just police officers are restricted on the use of deadly force. :-)

    I'm just saying that the baton is being demonstrated as a less lethal weapon here and it's probably not a good idea to recommend caving people's heads in; especially in examples like this video where the attacker is unarmed.

  • good video nice ,,Baton

  • nice

  • I like this video I subscribe to u now subscribe to me and check this out

  • My Kung Fu is better than yours

  • There's a lot of reasons posting videos like this isn't a good Idea..

  • I am very excited about this Camlock system. I have own several collapsible batons through out the years and they do retract on their own from constant usage. So this locking system has me very excited. Nice job TNP!

  • Interesting to see that OJ employs a weak side lead, perhaps I'm not so familiar with his style base, but many armed/bladed martial arts and styles (like fencing) I've seen tend to employ a strong side lead.

    I'll start doing more research.

  • @jlunit416 N/m he explains the rationale for it 17 minutes in. Good job OJ.

  • @jlunit416 Strong side is usually employed when your opponent has a weapon. Weak side is usually employed when your opponent does not because you want to strike and keep your weapon so you keep it away from them until you need to strike with it. That is why he is using the weak side in this situation. Or so is my guess.

  • Foot work, stance and general principals look a lot like jkd. Good stuff.

  • @FalseShadowx That is because JKD got a lot of there stuff from different places like the Philippines, and other styles like Kali. They are both outstanding styles.

  • @Kinley1978 Yes I know that.  I just thought it was interesting that most of the practical styles are largely the same as far as the fundamentals go.

  • @FalseShadowx Ya in the core of most styles a block is a block and a kick is a kick and so fourth. However they are different enough that you can look at the subtle differences of one and know what it is when compared to others. Good point.

  • thanks, great information.

  • Good Job Nutnfancy, great instruction video on basics, but I realy believe that these tactics should only be shown to LE or Military, there is a bunch of crazy individuals out there that could use this to their advantage, tactics taught in a police academy or military setting are for recruits/trainee only, not to the public, just my opinion, but otherwise this is the real deal, pretty damn accurate.

  • @ashgrove07 I can understand your concern; however, the information shown in this video is already widely accessible to the public. Just search "Escrima", "Kali", or "Arnis" on YouTube, and a million of videos will pop up. Also, you will find escrima classes offered in every major city in the U.S. and the world.

    In the same way that bad guys have access to guns, knives, pepper spray, baseball bats, and explosives, they also have easy access to learning basic weapons techniques.

  • Officer Jared is such a badass

  • it is so retarded how batons are illegal in California! After watching this video i looked it up. Its a felony! even having a baseball bat or a blunt object in your truck can be a felony. using anything like that for defense in your home could be a felony. Makes me sick. Lets just let evil people walk all over us.

  • Great Stuff please keep these types of vids coming

  • @ 17:30 he is in a krav maga basic stance.

  • @sheyon1000 Krav maga is one of best martial arts out there for combat, atleast the real one, since like all martial arts theres the real one and the flashy version.

  • Another excellent baton video. Thanks OJ, Alan and Nutn. Hope to see more in the future.

    Nate

  • Nutn why don't you do the whole "Qwwtshh" thing anymore?

  • i carry an asp 21 inch everyday and have for the past 2 years cant wait to turn 18. in Vermont one can carry a concealed pistol at that age. (yes I have taken a ccw course)

  • Is this guy a kali practioner?

  • @OEFvet1986 OJ uses a few differrent forms but in short yes he dose.

  • Fight? What? Nowadays, people just blow you away with guns. Like to see that thing stop a bullet!

  • LOVE IT !!!

  • I look forward to seeing more baton vids. I thought OJ's presentation was excellent. Hope to see more of his tactics xD

  • *knuckle bump*

  • I liked the Hurricane metaphore. Either get out of the way, or get close.

  • Just finally got around to posting a review of the ASP baton after I saw this. If anyone is interested check it out. Thanks for the motivation Nutn

  • are these batons even available to non LEO's?

  • @otacon451 yes bro they are check profirearmstore(dot)com (PFIdudes store) for some of the best prices around.

  • @TheDishD And don't forget to use the "nutnfancy" discount code for 15% off! ;) -- Veri

  • @nutnfancy =] cheers Veri i forgot the discount! D'oh! haha hope all is good with u and urs Veri take care.

  • @nutnfancy how exactly does one get in contact with someone like that?

  • very helpful thax! keep up the good work!

  • Good video Nutn',  it's just another "wake up" lesson for being aware & prepared !

    Thanks...

  • Excellent video! And I agree 100% about training the fundamentals. I train with professional MMA fighters, and we constantly drill the basics. There is never a point where you can move beyond the basics.

  • The instructor is clearly skilled and I like his explanation of footwork. Too many people teach bizarre nonsense that is dangerous. Always move in a circle: you know what is in that area, you are "off-line" of the attack and it sets up the next strike. That having been said, police are constantly being taught to "wail on" suspects when it is simply not necessary. The idea that you are in a non-life-threatening situation and you are advocating breaking someone's arm?? Weak.

  • @kenfo0 Where did the idea come from that police should not be constantly training in "martial arts"? That it "takes too much time". Were it mandatory, you'd see far fewer "fatties" and far fewer complaints of brutality. Wailing on someone with a baton is VERY little "technique". If that's the purpose, the vid could have been a total of 4 minutes, including intros. I await all the flaming from fake conservatives and fake tough guys who think pounding on someone for jaywalking is fine...

  • @kenfo0

    Cops already know tons of martial arts. In Canada and the States many are taught the exact form of martial arts Fairbairn taught, called Defendu, and he was in hundreds of fights as a British police officer in Hong Kong's gang districts. He designed one of the best knives too, but the maker of it went out of business unfortunately.

  • @Grungadin with all due respect, we don't see this in practice, nor in this vid. The vid CLEARLY advocates "breaking an arm" over a non-lethal situation. This kind of fake macho b.s. is often seen in tasing old women and children. MEN were supposed to be policeMEN, not angry, undisciplined boys. All I am saying is there are plenty of techniques to control unruly suspects....breaking arms at the drop of a hat or calling wailing on someone a "technique" is unprofessional.

  • @kenfo0

    I've seen it in practice plenty of times. I don't agree with tasers in general, and I admit there are plenty of cops who shit their pants everytime they are confronted by even a kid who is aggressive, but most do know how to fight well enough. Attacking someone for no reason is always bullshit, but as soon as somebody attacks a cop the law usually states they must defend themselves, and ending a fight quickly is usually the cop's goal. They should have lassos or something.

  • @kenfo0

    A good example happened in my city a few years ago. Some crazy drunk chick was flailing around screaming and could have injured anyone she came near, a cop tried to arrest her and she went berserk, so he punched her once to stun her and she dropped down, then sued the department for police brutality even though the cop had stopped her from injuring herself even more, or other people on the street. By ending her rampage in one blow he really saved her from actual serious injuries.

  • @Grungadin You and I have more agreement than disagreement. I thank you for being civil...it is so rare. In the case you stated, were I on a jury, I'd not convict him of anything, if she was wildly out of control. A big part of the problem is an absurd society in which people have no understanding of the "real world" and are selfish, ugly people. Cops have a tough job. As long as they treat people with respect, and not like some bad movie, I am on their side. Best wishes.

  • @kenfo0 It depends on the level of force your subject is using. Department policies in the U.S. generally follow the force continuum (1. Officer Presence 2. Verbal Commands 3. Soft techniques 4. Hard Techniques 5. Deadly Force). If an officer needs to "wail" on a subject it's because they are acting in a violent/aggressive manner and they need to be controlled quickly and effectively before deadly force is needed. Bottom line is that there are times when strikes are warranted.

  • @gunsnammochannel I well understand escalation. We CONSTANTLY see police (local story) tasing 50yr women over and over, tasing children, the rodney king incident (he may well have needed a few cracks, but we all saw 5 guys wailing on a defenseless man, jerkoff that he may have been). My post is not "anti-police". It is anti-policy. Think of when the guy jumped over the WH fence in the 80's and was surrounded by SS. They had NO IDEA what to do when the guy struck a "karate" pose. TRAINING.

  • @kenfo0 I do agree that many American police academies lack ample defensive tactics training. However, I disagree that the use of force incidents you listed were a result of inadequate training. Officers who participate in those sort of acts are obviously acting OUT of policy, so those the issue here is not departmental policy (or lack thereof). The issue is UNAUTHORIZED use of force. I gurantee there is not one PD in the US whose general orders allow for any of the acts you just listed.

  • @guns you've agreed once more. the last part of your post is covered under the policy of "nah-ah", as "out of policy" events are too high to be vague HR problems. I don't recall the LAPD saying "out of policy" on the RK fiasco. the problem is "stated policy" vs. "actual policy". It's too common to be rogue behavior. I shit you not: a 50yr old lady was tasered by an officer, WHILE ANOTHER ARRIVED AND DID NOTHING, multiple times for DARING to not answer why she was walking her dog "too early".

  • @kenfo0 The United States has penal codes that are violated by thousands of citizens every day but that doesn't mean there is no law here because stated law is different from actual practice. You're making the assumption that most officers are "rogue" and do not follow departmental policy because of what you see on TV. The reality is that most officers go out of their way to stay within policy because they don't want to be seen by millions of people like you on the ten o'clock news.

  • @gunsnammochannel Your first sentence is absurd. We have laws, and they clearly do not apply to everyone equally, so yes, there is stated law and practiced law. A SUPER easy example: some states have laws on the books stating you must have a person walk in front of your car waving a red flag...see much of it? no, yet it is a law. Nowhere have I said "most cops are rogue". Why the need to make up strawmen? I have CLEARLY stated there is too little training, too much fake tough guy.

  • @kenfo0 Ok so let's get to your bottom line here, because I don't follow you're complaint. Is your complaint against departmental policy or against lack of training? And on what basis are you making these complaints, what you see from your armchair on the evening news? Keep in mind, actions taken by officers that are outside of stated departmental policy are indeed NOT departmental policy, so you cannot label it as such.

  • @gunsnammochannel My armchair? Take your childish, pedantic, unrealistic, jingoist nonsense down the road then. I made my case clearly, and even gave examples backing it up. You now take the low road with a "oh yeah, what do you know" argument. FIne. Waste someone else's time then.

  • @kenfo0

    Good talking to you too, it definitely is rare to find civility on youtube lol

  • Nice, but the camera during the dialog (beginning of the video) needs to be a bit steady, no need during the dialog for it to be moving all over the place. maybe a tripod?

  • Nice, but the camera during the dialog needs to be a bit steady, no need during the dialog for it to be moving all over the place. maybe a tripod?

  • Alan is cool

  • sounds like gun shots!!!!!

  • omgggg ads!!!!!

  • @Ar15snhappy Use the Mozilla Firefox Browser.

  • @Ar15snhappy without ads yt wouldnt be what it is

  • Really great stuff guys!! A LOT of these fundamentals are things I learned when I was doing Marshall Sports with the SCA...

  • Batons are great, I loved the one I carried while working in security.... too bad it's a felony to have one here in Kalifornia. Having a concealed gun is a misdemeanor.

  • @Racingfeet21 time to move :)

  • the intro and outro music is bad ass...

  • My favorite Baton technique is a front thrust to the pelvic girdle in a downward angle...I have found it to be very effective. 

  • Great Video...you need more tactics video's as well as gear review....I love your channel keep up the good work.

  • Aikido and certain forms of sword dueling use similar foot work. moving off to the side opens up quite a few offensive opportunities to end the fight quickly, if your positioning is good and the your quick enough to exploit the opening. Me I'm not that fast, I'll just settle for not getting hit.

  • When he hits the bag sounds like gun shots.

  • why the commercial at the beginning of the video? BOOO!

  • On the camera work.. when you tug in your camerahand tight to the body. and use your other hand to hold your camerahands elbow.. and turn with the body.

    it should stabilize the picture.. don't know if it works during an interview though or with your tac gear on... but it is a thing you can try.

  • @AlgerianRelief What an embarrassingly uneducated comment you made.

    On a more positive note:

    Thanks Nutnfancy, OfficerJared and the other person that participated in this informative video.

  • Very nice video and useful since I carry a baton on a daily basis.

    Btw, anyone know what kind of shoes/boots OJ is wearing?

  • Kyora OJ.

  • Great intro video! IF i missed it already! Could you tell everyone where you might be able to find one of the Cam lock batons? thanks ...great vids as always!

  • Nice footwork. As a swordsman I will spare you most of my criticism (constructive or otherwise) as most the time you will not be fighting another baton expert. I would like to know what system you would develop for fighting from a more static position? I only ask as from my experience many patrol officers/beat cops tend to be stiff legged from carrying the amount of equipment that they do. Thank you for the video, if you are ever in Canada I would love to see one of your workshops.

    grim

  • i bet i could kick OJ's arse...at call of duty LOL

  • Great information! I do kickboxing and what your teaching can be implicated into everything I've already learned with previously. Float Lika Butterfly Sting Lika Bee!

  • Interesting video, althought maybe let the instructor talk a bit more without being interupted. I know you said you like to repeat things and that's fine, but don't ask him a question and then right as he starts to asnwer you interupt him.

  • Fundamentals win fights - wise words OJ. After 13 years Karate, I can hit a jumping back kick at a heavy bag no problem. Could I land one on a human being in a fight? Hell no. Great work guys.

  • Stay safe in Iraq dude! Thanks so much for spending your time making this video, very interesting!

  • part 2) She told me that opening it aggressively surprised her attacker which gave her that extra half second to prep and deliver the 1st, 2, and 3rd blows which connected with soft tissue and bony prominences. i carry a 16 inch one in a custom IWB i made. obviously i sacrifice 'firepower' for 'mobility' (by nutn) because i dress pretty formally day in and day out. so i have to rely on similarly effective, multiple blows even if its on a hand or wrist. a baton is great responsibility!

  • Which weapon carry's OJ on the Photo plzz REPLY.

  • @AlfonsFromAtech 21 inch camlock with trick end cap and proprietary auto deploying holster

  • my best friend recently used her 21inch baton on an attacker B4christmas. i told her about nutn&oj's 1st vid. i told her that an attacker will naturally raise his armin defense so HIT THAT HARD too! so during her encounter she batoned attacker 4 to 5times with blows to arms, a leg, thorax and head. she later told me with a little nervous laugh that 'he' had a terrified face full of pain before he ran. she had time to pull it from her purse while within 5 feet of engagement.

  • @paikmendez she was very lucky to have been able to pull her baton.

  • @paikmendez

    That's awesome. Good for her.

  • @paikmendez no kidding, nothing like putting the hurt on. I have a GF I want to get her into self defense. I've learned plenty but even without it I'm not a target of choice cause of my physical appearance but she is.... I just can't get her to be mean enough to hit or kick hard. I tell her you learn to kick someone in the knee hard enough you don't even need a baton.

  • @paikmendez Good for her :)

    my gf is kinda weak winded :(

  • 05:40 "tactically disengage" ... come on, just say "run away" or "retreating" like me and nutnfancy. It's more direct and straight-forward.

    And don't you worry, you'll still be a tough man. Just a man with more honest ways of expressing yourself. Macho, macho men not needed in the nutnfancy project, right nutnfancy!

  • Excellent fundamentals! Thank you, OJ and nutnfancy!

    I

  • LOL Monty Python and the Holy Grail "Run away!, Run away!"

  • @Storm13Cloud ITS NOT JUST ANY RABBIT

  • my "kung Fu" is NOT better than yours!!!!!!!!

  • I really like his approach. In my first bigger fight I was totally taken aback by the speed and aggression I brought it only when I started to fear for my life and when I was all bloody already. The movies make you think about fights too idealistically. In reality you can't stop until he is down or just run away. You can't hope for a movie-like encounter. It's messy, chaotic and dirty.

    And you have to drill the stance and mobility FIRST! That's what wins the fight.
