HOW to USE a BATON AGAINST a KNIFE ATTACK 

Great question.. most attacks with a knife are lead Witt the empty hand, you want to use closes weapon to target and then for sure when you can find the opening strike the weapon hand

@@NickDrossosThanx for your answer, very interesting, keep up the good work my friend, greets trainer Yann

Hand is a much smaller target and harder to hit

Your going to have to reach further you want to keep some distance and get a book bag as a sheild if possible

I go for the knife hand or the face/neck.

Never clinch - the problem solved

​@@SabaKhelashviliNot your choice.

I commend you for being active in situational awareness and ready to give everything you've got to protect your girlfriend.I hope to be like that too.

Idk how to look prepared. My whole game is about faking loser and suprise attack with pepper gas and daggers. Any other idea?

​​@@sergemersin8094I just look at the potential attacker and let him know through my body language like straight back, visual contact, scanning the surroundings and no fear showed. Basically, you assert your dominance😂. Most of the time, thugs only want to robber you and they are not ready for a fight. They pick weak and submissive subjects. By showing security and awareness, you avoid many issues.

Deterrence ALWAYS allows for the best POSSIBLE outcome.

I'm glad it worked out for you but idk man, every single gun/defense class i been to one of first things they say is never flash your weapon just as deterrent..always pull it with intent of actually using it

keep them on, in real fight situation you dont have time for put off your glasses. if them break while during fight, its okay just buy new glasses

@@willjamesmo How about getting injured with them on when a hard punch comes to your face?

Take it off as soon as you know you'll get punch in the face many times because the glasses will surely break and it will be dangerous for your eyes if it breaks while you're still wearing it. One or two good punch in your face with that glass on will be enough to shatter the glasses.

Depends on the price

Not if the suspect has a knife (deadly weapon).

Not sure why anyone would use a baton VS. a knife... A knife is deadly force...

@@1badgt4 just say you’re scared to use the baton r

@@1badgt4In the hands of somebody who knows what they’re doing, an ASP is an excellent weapon against a knife. Not the best tho (CC is best)

@@papimaximus95exactly

solid ones maybe, collapsible ones aren't the best at those

Can be in the real world

Yes. You have many "weapons ' Kicks are one of them.

Well in this case, its life or death, I don't believe lethality is a concern for anyone when the situation is past the point of de-escalation

When have you seen someone "defend the snake" in an actual knife fight ?

A lot of those stun guns are trash! Unless you're spending 100's of $. A whip? Idk...the baton can easily be concelead & used to attack and defend. Mine has one of those window breaker things @ the end. A whip is going to take tons of practice.

Take some boxing classes, learn how to move and stay light on your feet’s, that should reduce the risk of anyone grabbing your baton.

Small is easier to carry you can move faster with it. But the longer one u will feel safer

I’m quite tall and I prefer a shorter baton (21 inches) as I already have a pretty good reach, so I’d advise a shorter guy to take a longer baton (26 inches).

@hackerjamsjustwegamer1568 That makes sense at first, but the problem is to conceal a long baton, especially because I am quite short, so my pockets are short too.

@@drdoom5516 There’s bigger problems than the size of your baton if you decide to carry one in your pocket.

@@hackerjamsandjustweggamer I carry mine inside my jackets when it's winter. Or I keep it in my shoulder bag, it does fit there since it's the size 21'. I'm just not sure if that really is that weapon for a guy my size. Get into a brawl could be deadly

Thanks for watching

and attack below

Yep, I like how people say to have your weapon hand at the rear because it protects the weapon......if you can't protect your weapon than you need to train more or shouldn't carry one. If you look at old sword fighting styles such as HEMA, Siliat or Kali the only time the weapon hand is to the rear is when the opposing hand is holding a shield because it's better to have the shield forward but if no shield is present than they tend to have the weapon forward as it grants greater range and a greater reaction time. The only other reason to hold a stick or baton to the rear like this is from a legal point of view it is considered to be less of a threatening stance making it easier to argue in court that you were defending yourself......which is a stupid mentality used by people who don't know what they are talking abou.

@@ryanshoults123 Most people that "think" they can use sticks can't. Majority of them can't stand against those of us that train Kali/Arnis/Escrima or a variation of Silat. Given that Kali is widely considered to be them most lethal martial art around and is known for it's stick work I'll stick with what I learn in Kali, especially since I am also trained to use expandable batons threw a government approved training program for security guards in the state I live in in the country I live in. Weapon hand to the rear is stupid because as you said, most people that have any training will be moving so I'm gonna have my stick to the front giving me greater range and reaction times whilst moving so all I need to do is move to your outside side that doesn't have the knife and you're in a very bad position to recover from. If you keep you weapon to the front it is easier for you to recover from these movements as well.....weapon to the front has far more advantages than weapon to the rear. The only reason the idea exists is because of dual wielding techniques and because it is viewed as a less threatening pose and therefor considered to be better for self defence from a legal point of view which is why LEOs & security are taught that. Lets not forget that the techniques used with batons were decided on way back in the 19th century when cops were carrying truncheons which are heavier than modern batons so the techniques worked back then but they are almost useless with modern batons. Throw in the fact that a lot of returning soldiers from WW1 went into policing and were using truncheons in the trenches for hand to hand fighting and in the confined spaces of a trench you'd want to keep you weapon in the rear for retention but that's about the only genuine reason to fight with you weapon in the rear hand.

@@ryanshoults123 From my experience both with expandable batons and with martial arts training specializing in all manner of melee weapon platforms I can comfortably say that if you are not wishing to resort to lethal force than go and train in a martial art like Kali/Arnis/Escrima/ Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) because if you only have training with expandable batons or no stick specific training than you'll more than likely end up resorting to hitting the head which is considered to be a lethal shot with batons. Expandable baton techniques don't come in different levels/grades/belt systems so it's kind of "one and done" training that is useless so I'd advise training in Kali. I'm Aussie and only police and certified security can carry batons, the only issue is that security companies don't let us carry even if we are certified because the training is so worthless than many guards end up smacking people on the head (excessive force). With any weapon system you need to train to be proficient so that you can use it if you ever need to. Don't buy into the idea that you can carry any weapon system and not train but still be able to use it because if you don't train than you won't be effective with it. I'm simply pointing out that as someone who is has a background in Kali and is state government certified to carry batons that the techniques used with batons is why they are useless for most people. Whilst in some situations I see value in keeping your weapon to the rear, in most cases it is better to keep it to the front as you have greater range and a greater reactionary gap. Not to mention that when you keep an impact weapon to the rear, majority of the power comes from the rotation of your hips which very few people have the time to train for that to become muscle memory and as such aren't able to pull it off in the middle of a fight leaving them with the little force generated from the swing of their arm and in my experience you can actually generate a little more power with only you arms if you keep your weapon forward. Add in the fact that you are more likely to entangle yourself if you keep your weapon to the rear vs in the front. In the front allows for grater mobility as well giving you the ability to easily strike from either side of your body and even on upward angles but to the rear makes it more difficult if you are not trained to move freely limiting most to only one angle of attack. I myself am with you, I'd rather carry a baton than a knife because I'd prefer to use non-lethal force and have the option to escalate to lethal force if needed but with a knife you only have lethal force.

@@ryanshoults123 Because I'm Aussie (Australian) and not living in the US! Also, firearms are not the ultimate means of self defence as they are lethal. There is no such thing as the ultimate self defence weapon as it depends on the situation at hand and what that situation requires.

@@TheMegaAshThey are the ultimate mean for self defense, I’m tall but my girl is short, if she’s getting assaulted by a guy my size when she’s alone, not much else than a gun can guarantee her to live.
