"Combative Baton Intro" with OJ & Nutnfancy

The telescoping, impact baton is still one of my favorite non-lethal self-defense tools. In competent hands it transforms from it compat carry form into a formidable weapon. However skill, timing, speed, and footwork are required to employ it correctly. And all those things take practice and a high fitness level for greatest effectiveness. Enter OfficeJared or OJ (www.youtube.com/user/officerjared), TNP Crewmember and long-time worldwide combative arts instructor. His instructional services are in demand all over the world and he stays busy with both police and military audiences. His style is balanced and he spends equal time with staff, knife, and baton in his training and instruction. Here we show the some fundamental principles to the impact baton. The baton used is the Bonowi baton (now called the "Smartlock" Baton) whose design and strength dominates the other brands. It's heavy but it's iron rod tough. Concepts of strike angles, speed, power, accuracy, and the need for controlled aggression are discussed in this short intro. A few locks are demonstrated with OJ's sparring partner Alan, home briefly from Iraq. Also shown is the importance of maintaining and maximizing the range advantage of the impact baton. If response is good, we may do some follow on baton training vids so the good people in the TNP viewing audience can increase their non-lethal skill levels. ///////////////// Music licensed from Derek Audette

The sequence at 3:23 is reminiscent of the sombrata exercises of various Kali-Escrima disciplines. Very cool.

[bo0tybandit]

[gomcse]

This is a great video. Thanks for sharing it.

@fredjustsucks It makes it more professional, and alot of people dig it for that reason.

@tohottohoot Tunnel vision is bad, you gotta watch everything cause you never know where the next threat will come from.

Just saw OJ in a episode "Deadliest Warrior". I was watching it and thought to myself, that dude looks familiar! cool points to OJ!

[Excalibur01]

I want to find OJ and ask him to teach me. It''ll be awesome to defend oneself with a baton, stick or anything like it. If it comes down to it and justified, I can use my gun but a baton is nice to know or knife

[tohottohoot]

I would like to know what to watch? Hands, Arms, Shoulders , Big Picture or what?

[runngunr21]

Any possibility of you expanding in the self defense/martial arts aspect of TNP? Perhaps more videos on baton/stick fighting or knife fighting?

[runngunr21]

So I was cruising around on the internet and it turns out I found out who OJ really is... WOW. He is the real deal stick fighting guy. He is no joke, very cool that you could get together with him. Thanks Nutn!
