With respect, I think self defence with this device cd be a lot simpler. Perhaps you have an LEO background? It shows with most techniques leading to wrist or elbow locks. I think all you need with a pen is one simple, quick and hard strike to anywhere but the neck/head followed by escape. The things to practice IMHO are deploying it quick and stealthily (or under pressure), practicing pre-fight encounters, planning for when a preemptive strike is appropriate and the best way to get one in.
I like the techniques in part 2 more than part 1. This is more up my alley. What have you been trained in, outside of hapkido? I am an instuctor and I use a hybrid system of Kenpo, WWII combatives, and aikijitsu. I have always loved the concept of the pen, and I like how this one can reinforce a punch, but with a bic or papermate this isn't so. As well I lijked how you used it like the kubotan or ywara in the locks, ever considered using a sharpie instead? It's got potential.
i really like these videos. really good. i personally think these techniques would work w/o an pen like object. but of course subtracting the pressure point attacks out may render it less useful.
These techniques seem too complex unless a person is highly trained. If you are indeed well trained then you don't really need the pen in most of these scenarios. A punch on the nose would have done the job as well or better. In fact a puncture wound is unlikely to be very debilitating and 'pain compliance' takes a lot for granted about your attacker's mind set. Perhaps these techniques are well suited to Law Enforcement? This is just one person's opinion everyone.
Nothing in this is more than simple wrist locks using the pen for augmentation. The pen isn't to 'puncture' per se, its to grind into pressure points to produce compliance. Thanks for the feedback.
What if you walk with a kane and you have this pen in the other hand. If you have a cane made of rattan or aircraft alumunium either way you have a close in weapon and a reach and strike weapon. The cane I carry has a heavier resin handle that can serve as a hammer on an ankle/knee/temple take the rubber stopper off and you have a stabbing device both ends can be a weapon. Take every other percaution you can but these are 2 tools that can go anythere you do. For now,
@cdltpx a cane is good but if you are a completely healthy young male. In Australia you can get booked or reported for carrying something like that without a purpose.
@gloomysuicidal I could not live in a place that is that stupid. When you are attacked they are not going to give you a break you had better be able to respond with an equalizer of your own or you are going to be owned. The best weapon you own is your mind you can be cautious and avoid a lot of trouble by looking for the potential for trouble.
@cdltpx True, Australia is a nanny state but luckily life here is relatively safe. I do carry tactical flashlight and tactical pen because that's about all you can carry here.
@gloomysuicidal Ever hear of the Vikings Ultra light aircraft? Integrate the 2 and you have perfect recipe for armed robbery etc. You can't make a country safe by taking away all the arms you just make it easier for them to be taken down by a well thought out plan. A route in a valley away from radar with fuel locations and you have a crew that can go into an area pull a few jobs be able to get out undetected leaving a trail of gas cans. Vikings used many to over power Australia one gun will do

Thank you. The use of a pen for personal protection is certainly a valuable idea. I personally need to do more research in the area.
