 So today we're gonna do something a little bit fun and do a product review on the guard dog security on guard stun gun Now this is marked as a self-defense tool. It's a knife with a built-in stun gun It has you know, it's got the stun gun sensors around the edges of the blade and it's got a pretty good plastic design So we're gonna kind of talk about this now. This is not a sponsored review. This is just my honest opinion We actually use this in my jujitsu class and we thought this might be a good topic for our video So this is not a toy. So first of all, this is not for children This does have a bite to it kids can hurt themselves with this So this should not be left somewhere where they can reach it and you should not play around with this with your friends Or goof around with it. Now in martial arts typically we do train knife defense now This is not a full disclosure. This is not an endorsement of knife techniques or any particular how-tos because Real knife self-defense is dangerous. You know, nobody comes at you overhead ah Knife attacks are fast. They're furious. They're in they're hidden. They're very very nasty So one of the faulty things when we train with knives is it's easy to get lulled into a sense of security Because most of times we train with these wood knives Sometimes you get rubber knives that give a little bit of a gift to it or whatnot You do it time and time again in the class It gets very easy to fall into a sense of complacency because you're like, okay Well, you know, it's fake. It's not gonna hurt you. We use this in class. It's mimic a live blade now Otherwise, you know the train with self-defense have also heard of people using like chalk and wearing blackies and kind of chalk and trying To leave marks and kind of see how you fared afterwards So there's lots of different ways you can train for knife defense, but today we're gonna talk about this This is marketed as a self-defense tool It's marketed as a stun gun that you're meant to carry around with you and defend yourself first and foremost on that note Is I don't know how effective this would be on that front It does have a built-in flashlight, which is supposed to I don't know guide your way or try to blind someone but it's not really bright enough to do anything and As far as a stun gun don't confuse this with an actual stun gun or a taser It does have a bite before we did this video for the first time white belt Zach and I we tried this on each other to Kind of get the feel of it. It does have a sting It does hurt but in the context of a fight It probably doesn't hurt enough to stop someone from attacking you It might be an intern if someone's threatening you and you pull up with a vice like this And start doing that maybe they'll back off But if not if you're in close enough combat with them or close enough contact where you can touch them with this I recommend just get a regular stun gun that's gonna have much more power to it This I just don't find as effective as a self-defense weapon Plus it comes with a sheath that doesn't really fit very well and it's kind of cumbersome to carry Now that being said I think this is wonderful as a training tool because there is something psychological about this in class it sounds nasty and You know with the wooden knives, you know, it's not gonna hurt you the plastic knives You know they're not gonna hurt you but there's something psychological when we train this in class and your attack comes up Crackling your brain triggers into a defense mode as in I don't want to touch that or I don't want that touching me so at least heightens your awareness and It puts you in a psychological mindset of you just trying to avoid that blade even though it might not hurt through clothing It's still something Scary it's it's one notch up So as a defense tool or as a training tool for defense I think this is pretty pretty fun and also just you know obligatory safety tip You might not want to use this people who might have a heart condition or a pacemaker Just for safety keep it away from the chest even though it's pretty low voltage and it's not like a stun gun You never know you don't want anybody getting hurt So try to you know wear a thickie when you're training with it This it's just enough of a spark to see what I did there to kind of just get your mind going But try to be safe with this and definitely don't make contact anybody's face It does hurt and it can leave burns. So just be safe when you're when you're using this now as for the build It's got a pretty solid construction. It feels good. It's not too heavy. It's it's a lot Feels like it's got more substance than just a wooden knife. So it's got a nice fit It's easy to hold the only thing is it's really easy to push the trigger It's got a switch here that switches from flashlight mode to stun mode And you got a light here for the flashlight which turns it on and off And you've got the taser mode And you just push it Word of caution. It's very easy to push this by accident. I almost at myself three times unplugging it from the wall So it does come with a rechargeable usb charger. So that's nice. No batteries to change, but just be careful with this trigger It's very easy Especially which might be a good thing when you're defending yourself and you're trying to manipulate the arms weapon The other partner is very easily sell Wave another round Um, the plastic is nice and thick. I don't see this really breaking easily unless you're really goofing around with it It's got a good rubber grip and the lights I guess are okay if you're just Using the flashlight, but not I'm impressed with the build. It's pretty good quality for its price It's um, you find various models. This is just one model. They range, you know, they range from those 50 60 up to like 300 So there's a bunch of different options out there But as far as the build and construction, I think it's pretty good. It feels good in the hand It's a nice nice meaty training tool Now it's for the shock itself as I said, we tested this before we did this video for the first time It stings. I mean it doesn't hurt in terms of like you're going to start going into convulsions or lock up your muscles But it's it's a nice little burn. You could probably even maybe singe arm here. I'm not sure if we did that or not Um, it doesn't feel good. It doesn't work so well through clothing If you press up tight clothing, you'll probably feel it at least a little bit of a snap But otherwise it just feels like a really really really really severe static electrical shock That just doesn't stop not too bad, but just Unpleasant enough where you don't want it to touch you. This is marketed again as a self defense instrument It is not a toy. You should not play with it Um, my personal opinion as a defense tool, it's limited. It's got a nice psychological factor again I mean you might deter somebody but it's cool But I don't know how effective it is at the fence versus other options out there I like to use this as a training tool. I'm not recommending it as a training tool I'm just kind of reviewing the product as a whole. So Please exercise all caution if you pick one of these up as to how you use it I personally like the Psychological aspect to it, but by all means be very very careful. This is not a toy Don't play around with this. I don't endorse or recommend using it other than it's intended use But I'm just saying this is how I like to use it. I just find it fun So if you're interested in picking one of these up, I do have a link below in the description And like I said, just you know, if you pick one up follow the directions. It's pretty easy to use It's also easy to misuse. So just exercise caution and safe training everyone Please like and subscribe and we'll see you next time
