Do Not Buy an Expandable Baton Until You Watch THIS... 

I grew up in a "High Risk" community where frequent drive by shootings & assaults occured on an almost daily basis. I'm a student in various combative martial arts including Arnis/Kali before being educated on the drawbacks of castle doctrine in my state, i typically carried a variety of lethal instruments on my person at all times. With that being said, I can attest from my own personal experiences that a well landed strike to a shallow bone target such as the clavical, forearm, or knee caps area's will almost always succeed in either disarming or immobilizing your attacker. Obviously you'll want to adjust your fighting system to work with your instrument & it's weight, it's range & it's mechanism. 👍

Man, my baton is great. It saved my life three times in 2021. The ASP 26 inch is the best one. PR-24s are too bulky. It’s hard getting out of a patrol car with one.

All weapons had its strength & weakness. But in the hands of a person who know how to harness these strengths & weakness, thats dangerous. It is not just hitting.

That longer baton from Ireland seems to cater to the Irish tradition of shillelagh fighting, which favors walking cane or hiking stick length and burliness.

Much needed video sir🔥

A BIA corrections officer myself we are train to use the baton and NOT the straight sticks, I wish we got the choice to use either or.

More good insight, thx for the share FT

Thank you for the beautiful video, but where to buy the German and the four section batons please? Thank you 😊

I'd be interested in your thoughts regarding weight versus maneuverability. A piece of rattan moves a lot faster than an expandable or fixed length baton. And another factor is what is the target? Are you going for a hand that's holding a knife or stick, or are you trying to take the legs out? I was with animal control so I preferred using a piece of bamboo that was split like a shinai but not wrapped at the striking end and I would be going for the legs so as not to seriously injure the nice pit-bull(s). that raises another issue for law enforcement. That dog has a head like a football helmet. I've seen a .308 round go through the scalp, graze the skull, come out the other end and the dog was still running around☠️ so go for the legs.I always appreciated how PD and the sheriffs department (OCSD) backed us up with the agency assist every time. Stay safe out there 💙

I made my own by sawing-down a fiberglass garden stake. MiracleGrow brand, 1" diameter, I can't remember if was 7' length or 6'. Cost me $5.00 I capped one with a copper pipe cap ($0.60), but it's not even necessary to add a cap in my opinion.

More video on such self defence equipment

I like that 4 section longer one. Good for hanbo technique

What is the brand of the 4 section baton? Great video!

Currently carry an ASP 21” air weight on my belt. I’ve never had a situation where I’ve had to use it. I must say, the training made me lose faith immediately, mostly because of the politics of how it’s allowed to be used really limit it’s potential effectiveness. I’m interested in that German made one and that huge one from Ireland. I wish there were links in the description.

What are the best materials for these batons? Are they steel? I've seen polypropylene ones but do they do proper damage?

These people who say that sticks aren't effective in physical altercations, would they let their kids swing sticks at each other; on account of how "ineffective" they are? Stick = best tool ever. They literally grow on trees! Though, rocks deserve an honorable mention.

hey bro. May I download your videos to watch offline and share with my friends online or offline?

Hello thanks for this video, where can I buy that batons sir?

There's a video right now on Twitter of shop employees chasing a would be looter out of their store by wailing on him with simple wooden poles about 26" long. It doesn't have to be too complicated.

13:00 before you get any practical advice.

Working security I used both the wooden batons with electrical tape wrapped around as a baton stop instead of the thicker rubber ones. Tho I wished I could have gotten the type one cop I new used. It was some sort of thick thread that was weaved to roll up when put into the baton ring. But unroll and lay flat when you take it out . Making it as if you had just the wood with nothing on it. Sadly it was sent to him and he had not idea where that person had gotten it. Also carried an ASP for awhile. Est thing about it was being compact on my duty belt. Did not like the balance of it. Best thing on it was extending it usually got everyone's attention real quick. Surprised you did not mention the Rapid Rotation Baton( check youtube for demo about it.), Wished I had know about it back when I was still working security.

Updates to one of mans oldest weapons! Nice!

helps when the "crooks" have known dietary conditions before plotting a lure and raid... what is full control of situation?

"Less lethal" unless used across a skull.

The power in your swing mouvement is deadly in the head. Good point it’s not lethal for you

What's the watch he's wearing?

Unfortunately, there's no way of getting these in the UK . Every link is blocked here

What are the names of the German and Irish batons you showed please

@ Jared Wihongi If you're reading this, I like your shirt. Where can I buy it?

What’s the long baton called

I want one of those round police shields.

As I draw my 9mm , I drop my baton

What is the name of that German company, the baton looks very interesting.

14:08 Another reason to practice your techniques slowly is to "reverse engineer" the effects of adrenaline. When real threats are present, and dying is an immediate possibility, adrenaline will speed you up beyond your body's built-in safety limits (whether you like it or not). And not just your physical speed; your mind will speed up too. If you do train at full speed, and then find yourself in a real threat situation, you'll probably find that your techniques aren't as effective as you expected them to be; everything will feel "off". How often have you heard it: _"it was like everything moved in slow motion, but I was at normal speed."_ Well, time is a constant. It didn't slow down. You sped up! So train slowly to account for this factor. :)

The Tokyo riot police use a Jo, an oak stick that roughly measures to your solar plexus, based on a martial art called Shindo Muso Ryu Jojutsu. A stick is a stick is a stick is a stick.

What brand is the 4 sectional baton?

Who make the baton manufactured in Ireland?…

The volume is terrible. I wish I could hear clearly. Gave up

Surprised i'm at 6:20 mins in (about ½ way) and he's not mentioned what was the whole point of baton use in law enforcement - that the priority is WHERE u hit and that the 1st priority is the outside of the knee.. . . So even though an extendable baton isn't heavy on the end, it doesn't need to be... (2nd priority would be collar bone... but u want to avoid that in case u miss) - All because you DON'T want to end in a situation where ur repeatedly hitting someone who's ramped up on drugs, alcohol or adrenaline or mentally ill... You don't want to resort to hitting someone in the head, ever... and anywhere other than outside of knee or collar bone isn't as pain-complying.... One thing i actually found with extendable baton is the *psychological effect!...* When they HEAR THAT HEAVY METAL CLICK of it extending, they usually drop their weapon!

yeah the police carries those light aluminium battons... you have taken a mace essentially and took away its greatest factor for effectiveness, its weight. Then cannot expect it to be effective. there are companies that make them in steel, that has great hardness and weight and they are very effective.

I use an asp baton, you can use it like a kali stick.

I knew that was officer Jared! TNP misses you.

❤️❤️

Can we stop calling a baton a "less lethal" option? How is a baton a less lethal tool in a cops hands but if I swing it at someone it is "assault with a deadly weapon"? A baton is a hand to hand weapon.

3:33 That is a Dog Brothers FC strike.

What is the name of that baton? 8:49

If a person isn’t strong or has little regular Training, pepper spray is better

Are we allow to carry this to defend your self or is police or military instrument only

Is the bro kiwi?

Problem with most non lethal weapons is “soft” people think they are unstoppable, and then get it taken away from them and get their asses kicked.

These Batons were called Bobby sticks back in the day

WELL DONE!! A those little telescopes are useless.. Give me a night stick..

Side handle baton is superior

I dont like swing it all the way back as this exposes you to a counter

Arnold

I'm here after watching Tyre Nichols murder body-cam videos were released.

Ja ich würde auch auf den Schild hauen und nicht auf das Knie

It will absolutely break your arm

🇦🇺😎👍

Wrong! When one thinks about expandable batons the 1st thing to come up is DONNIE YEN. Please get it right people.

Batons, clubs, canes, etc. are very effective self defense or law enforcement tools!!

I like it

6:15 "We see a lot of bendage" That is an ASP baton, try the Stronger Ukrainian make ESP Baton.

Fofifefofo 😁😞😳👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

It all boils down to certified training. An officer is trained to use a baton as a less lethal tool and is certified periodically on its use while a civilian might not be unless he/she takes this type of training and is certified on its use. That’s why any type of weapon in the hands of a civilian that potentially can cause death is looked as a deadly weapon since at the time of the incident it cannot be assessed if the civilian is trained or not 🤷🏻‍♂️. Still regardless of who you are the presence of a baton that is being used by anyone could be assessed as a lethal mean that requires an escalation of force or show of force 🤷🏻‍♂️

GREAT VIDEO! Exp w this tool. U did very good. 1st time viewer! now sub..like..share..comment and gonna use as a HELP TO ALL OUr valued members and people we know...ALOT! OH U GOT MERCH? A MUST TO LET PEOPLE KNOW when i and we are outside! Founder & Owner M

Talk Toooo Muuuch ....

This guy is a joke!!

Ever heard of pistols ?

And yet we civilians cannot own such “ Less than lethal “ tools to defend ourselves, as an option to firearms….especially in DummyCrap run state. 🤨🤷‍♂️
