Historical Walking STAFF Self-defence - 3 Beginner Survival Strategies 

Puns and all.

Hi jo o i

its very pointy

Actually , it's better than most modern Hollywood scripts.

I don’t think the fight choreography was planned. Seems as though they’re all just really well skilled with the respective weapons

@@KJ7Tillymann You're right: A good demonstration with 2 well trained fighters is always better than any choreography.

@@Flashahol Yessir! It was so good as well 😋

The fun guy quote at the end was worth the cringingly slow fight scene imho Earned a subscription edit: watched to the end. this instructor is giving a master class in stick offense and defense for free. i had to pay thousands and wait years for the same info back in the day

As an old geezer myself I can relate. I've had a hiking pole for 30 years and it never crossed my mind of using it for self defense since I had other means for that. (It's a Kentucky thing).

I refused to do a DNA test, who wants to end up in a DNA bank where they can do whatever with your DNA

if the stick didnt get you, the pun will.

Because HEMA assumes 1v1, if you have multiple attackers...your back is always going to be towards them, so making getting near you as much as a hazard as possible is your best bet

⁠@@punishedwhispers1218facts. I almost got swarmed by 4 guys when I was 16. Good thing they were too scared to throw down after I went hard at the closest one to me before they had a chance to flank me and catch me off guard. This guy wanted to jump me because he was dating my ex and there was bad blood there. He decided to bring 3 of his friends to jump me that day. I saw him pull up and confront me, and out of the corner of my eye I see his friends creeping up beside me, so I went full action mode (I didn’t even realize I was capable of it at the time). So his friends got a good example of how getting too close wasn’t in their best interest. In my opinion if you need to take on multiple attackers, you should try to put as many “out of the fight” as quickly as possible if given a chance. Using reasonable force is also recommended otherwise you may be more likely to face repercussions.

​@@punishedwhispers1218 to add to that, ideally you also want to be moving around trying to line up your enemies (so to speak) in a way that makes them get in each other's way instead of just allowing them to surround you. Always trying to turn, let's say a 3v1, into several 1v1's

Maybe a noob question, but is it smart to walk out of line to create a triangle with the other two attackers?

I think where you live you are likely fortunate enough to be able to carry firearms 😂

​@@desdicadoric Sadly I'm not, I live in Canada.

@@matthieuvilleneuve9101Seriously? I watch Greg Ovens all the time, he has a shotgun and rifle in bear country, he’s Canadian

​@@matthieuvilleneuve9101Canadians can have guns silly

​@@alasdairmackintosh Of course we can have guns, we just can't carry them easily.

Depending on the length of the stick, a lot of the movements and techniques can cross over between stick/staff and things like spear, 2 handed sword, or 1 handed sword. That's why typically people used to learn to wield a stick/staff as a weapon before ever touching a "real weapon" lol

@fandabidozi. What did i win?
