All About Self Defense Using Improvised Weapons : Tips for Self-Defense with Improvised Weapons

[RobsLife96]

yeah, im going to throw my wallet at them. the exact object they wanted in the first place.

[Runningl8te]

I carry a chain with me at all times.

[MrMatthewUnger]

Very effective because everybody walks around with a closed umbrella and an extension cord.

[MrMatthewUnger]

yo white boy how much u pay for that scarf?

[skillahertz]

ha, watch the bit at the end without sound, it's like he's saying, 'and you politely offer them a drink, if they decline, then you take out your wallet, phone, yeah maybe even keys... and just give them to him'

[GoombaAssasin]

LOL who carries a fork around?

[bjggjb]

@GoombaAssasin A hobo maybe?

[MrJulianclove]

i use the belt, all the time! lol

[ThePoisonClan]

Trying to protect yourself from a mugger, Just throw your phone and wallet at them? sort of goes against the point.

[bjggjb]

@ThePoisonClan It could be argued that if you give him your money and he's satisfied with that (as in leaving without harming you) you've "defended yourself."

But what if the mugger's not satisfied with your possessions/money, and/or it looks like he means to hurt you? You need to go on the OFFENSIVE (NOT "defend yourself"!) FWIW, throwing your wallet or phone at him could serve as a momentary distraction causing a "hole" in his defense, allowing you to hit him/knife him/shoot him/what have you.

[Tube888z]

Most ppl posting are only street pussies, They don't have a clue or experience. Obv.

[Tube888z]

Thanks little brother. F u none functional now dead people. Who would you want on your side???

[savawolfie]

thought it was to defend yourself not give the attacker your phone and wallet....

[slamazoid877]

rename this video "common sense weapons" 

[opmike343]

Unless you're Jason Bourne, beating an attacker with a rolled up magazine is a waste of time.

[TheBlackdog57]

He has, no idea, what he, is talking, about

[1jilu]

How about tampons and catheters.

[DriftwoodAndCorpses]

i hear what you're saying but the speed of a fight is such that a nutjob attacker isn't likely to be hog tied by an extension chord any time soon. grabbing a fork in a restaurant and stabbing with it--okay. throwing something at someone--okay. thwapping someone with an umbrella--wouldn't want to bet money on it. canes? well stabbing as if holding a bayonet can work better for a noob. the problem with information like this is that in a TMA, alot of what you say is 'passed-along' in good faith....

[WinterbornSalem]

it is a stick like weapon.....yeah and my attackers have gun like weapons that fire bullet like weapons

[lpluver4life]

he never used his necklace...

[slaywee]

everything is a weopon...

[asdghdjhk]

first ill distract them by throwing my wallet, car keys, and cellphone at them, then I will pull out my fork, conviently placed in my fanny pack, and poke them with it, then, I will pull out an extension cord and hit them with it. If worse comes to worse, I will swing my fanny pack at them..

[08sparky08]

@dahunter1327 my belt is an extention cord-_- lol

[Trapmasta4]

you sound like an attacker ,,, finding out these sick ways to hurt people with every day objects. "flexible weapons such as rope could be used to choke,, with or tie up someones limbs,, kay?

[Asertix357]

Or you could smash the plate over the attacker's head.

[Elementboy6522]

Wait... A fucking newspaper? n00bvillage -_-

[Mkdproductions101]

@Elementboy6522 a newspaper can actually be surprisingly effective, you can even kill someone by jabbing their adams apple

[opmike343]

@Mkdproductions101

Something being possible doesn't mean it is at all practical.

[Bacchus411]

lol

[MrNinecrimes]

why didn't he mention the pillow it is a very popular improvised wapon dont it?? perhaps it's too dangerous...

[DemonicallyAngelicII]

A phone as a distraction... "Woah woah woah.... I gotta take this.. hold on."

[MrSurferdude13]

yea lets throw the stuff at him that hes trying to take lol

[nicktimseamus]

its funny how your all making fun of him, but chances are he could beat the shit out of all of you

[DemonicallyAngelicII]

@nicktimseamus Using not a soup cup... but a tea cup.

[Hyronias]

i prefer improvising with my .357 Magnum

[VioletsAreViolent]

@forgotten539 I thought canadians said eh, eh?

[lilibeth933]

he said kay 14 times i counted k!! xD scissors rock!! av<3

[lilibeth933]

i made my own weapon and tied scissors to my chain! i love scissors theyr awesome i take 4 of em to school everyday, including toy one =D scissors <3

[CEFD11777]

any tip to make a realy good improvised gun & ammo?

[dll31p]

why did I watch that? (I had no idea i could bludgeon someone with a "rock-like object")

[giorclano]

i be sure to bring a extension cord everywhere i go

[emulare11]

Sometimes, though, empty hand is better than improvised. That empty plastic cup is what I mean. Throw it at his face and break his knee.

[Stringyheads]

Good instructional i thought, I made a comment on a blokes flick about him using a butterfly knife just recently, I talk about what you have just covered here. People should also be vidulant in checking their suroundings You walk past weapons every day ie A Rock, Sand is effective to throw in the eyes of the attacker, A wheely bin to hinder the attackers path or trip them. a Star dropper or garden stake, A bottle, and make as much noise as possable to distract your attacker. Well done.

[WorldOfYaYa]

For the magazine...try folding it in half after rolling it up. That makes it stronger. and smaller to carry!

[Zaneisdumb]

sock fulla nickels brah

[caleb31box]

want an efective weapon ? put a 1 oz fishing weight in a hankerchief . its effective but dont make it to long and hit your elbow ..

[ESCAPEDCONVICT01]

what ever happened to fists...

[cutterboy1991]

You forgot aboput your willy. You can take your willy out and use it as a bludgening, whip like weapon to stun and disorient your attacker. DO NOT use it to counter a knife attack!

[BlueOysterCult89085]

Вы люди тормозит, если кто-то нападает на вас, вы должны выбросить ключи, вы получите их обратно (если у вас есть достаточно навыков), которые вы, вероятно, этого не делают.

[CaptinCam0]

when do u carry a plate or a fork? and whats up with the exstenrion cord? weirdo

[jimbojones485]

@CaptinCam0 He's talking about using objects you may find around you as defensive weapons.. This is where the term "improvised" comes into play.. At no point is he suggesting you would carry around a plate or extension cord as a weapon.. Use your head before you start typing so you don't look like a "weirdo" yourself..

[VinnyS914]

I'd like everyone to check out my page & look at the videos "Self Defense". There's three vids but sit through them. Many of the things he's discussing (stabbing strangling weapons) Can ONLY be used as an ABSOLUTE LAST resort. In addition to that in combat it's NOT always as simple as swing your arm. Learn some hand to hand techniques before you just grab a weapon & swing it. Also know your LEGAL restrictions concerning when to & when NOT to use these weapons.

[gmapostol]

You are pathetic!

[Doreamonick3]

i wouldnt use my phone

[drabarne]

@Doreamonick3 how about your wallet? would you use your wallet as a throwing weapon? i thought that was a pretty stupid suggestion.

[XCritonX]

I once had to disarm someone who was carrying a knife and trying to rob me. I used my coat to trap the knife and get control of the persons arm. It worked well.

[K3N0J1N]

(Laughing) Why would I throw my keys? (Laughing)

[drabarne]

@K3N0J1N that was pretty stupid, but keys are actually a very effective handhold weapon.

[Indiana9812]

portkay ton sario, why so serious

[CameronS654321]

@kanal3 yes i have. i do know one or two people involved in it that sell handguns.

[CameronS654321]

@kanal3 isnt a home a 74 u a bit overkill for home defence lol. Where I live it is near impossible to get your hands on a sub machine gun, assualt rifle and most pistols. We arent even allowed airsoft guns lol.

[heyhohoable]

"purse, swung at an attackers knife, very effective"

Wait, what?

[hardluckking13]

if there was any truth to that i would there probably wouldn't be many purse snatchings...

[live4Cha]

nice, tnx.

[80KungFu]

Good video. But this guy needs to calm down! In the end he is talking so fast you think he needs to go for a shit.

[Maxym1909]

this guide is fucking good described seriously i wouldnt fight u....ur like chuck norris...u can kill people with anything in a room including the room itself

[marcuskim76]

why so serious

[sixyears]

Forks also make good improvised shrunken type weapon. Depending on were you are you could have many at your disposal.

[thatsit07]

coins are good as well

[heathenwalking]

Don't do that with the magazine, drive it into the solar plexus.

[hannigan06]

No if you throw the water or liquid into the attackers face use that time to get away.

It will take a few seconds for him to get over the surprise enough time for you to get some distance.

Best weapon in the world if you have none is a trash can lid. Its a shield for knifes and you can also with use of your shoulder use it as a offensive weapon.

[VioletsAreViolent]

he says kay about every 2 seconds lol

[thisismyytname]

@VioletsAreViolent

... Kay

[morleyman95]

yh because i carry a plate everywher i go

[skooterkid]

YEAH, GREAT! Wrap something around BOTH of your wrists so that if you try to FUCKING STRANGLE an opponent they can grab your rope, easily gain leverage and THROW YOU TO THE GROUND LIKE YOU DESERVE! Amateur Village fails again...

[Utillitarian]

Those who fail to see the applications of improvised weapons, will usually fail in a real life-endangering senerio...

[lsdandy]

hmmmm

high powered sling can kill a person.

bow and arrows can take down predators as big as a grizzly bear. so that would work.

home made explosives. or my favorite a brick launcher. it's like a potato gun but modified to launch bricks. same goes for the bat-zooka.

your mind is the greatest weapon you can use.

[robyniscool99]

Glass cups would hurt if you took one to the side of the head..

[denzelmendoza]

millwall brick.:D

[stayhidden]

Death to expert village... now.

[jyjyericz]

nice now i can bully back the bullies in my school

[PeterSumach]

this a joke?

[1267650]

im so bOrEd! msg me! my id is in my youtube profile! C

[samurimaster500]

nunchucks or shuriken yea if you typ it at the top you will find wat you need

[samurimaster500]

you for got tw0 things pen and index cards

[lsdandy]

oh you can do some real damage with a cup not just to beat someone with but you can shove the opened drinking part of the cup into the mouth or nose of the attacker. and forks are real mean! remember don't just stab someone twist there insides like spaghetti! also go for the leg muscles, arm pit/pectoral muscles.

it fuckin hurts.

[motocrosser]

lol i agree =]

[Hashishin082]

you can also kill someone using a tea cup. Lol, like Riddick

[motocrosser]

haha yep =P

[ssips720]

hot

[chickenleggz102]

i thought the empty the liquid into the face of the attacker part was really funny.

[FarmerFred6969]

I seldom carry a weapon of any kind, prefering to always use improvised weapons.

[FarmerFred6969]

It wasn't sarcasm, it was a comment based on a personal experience. As a side note though I'll share another tid bit. Oncw when I was 15I took on my then 60 year old father. He was brandishing a bottle. I didn't think he would have room to complete a swing if I stepped in for a left jab. He stepped back and arced an old style RC Cola bottle over the top of my head. It shattered and cold cocked me and while on the floor I thought for a moment I could taste the glass in my mouth.

[AlphaMission111]

lol wow this guy knows alot

[xavster]

1. never smash bottles or glass objects in a fight, it will shatter and cut YOU first, before anything else.

[iCgalz]

where the fuk do you hold the bottle at..

[FarmerFred6969]

Hold the bottle by the neck and strike with the fat part.

[FarmerFred6969]

Actually if you find the sweet spot on a long neck it won't shatter and it will send the same feeling up your arm you get when you hit a base ball in the right part of the bat. Applied at or just below the eye of a man it renders him nearly senseless and causes a severe cut, while the bottle remains intact.

[iCgalz]

it was a sarcastic comment to xavster.. but thanks for the tips?
