You will not believe, but there is no more effective self-defense than instinctual. When using any objects that fall under your arm. After all, often objects that were not specifically designed for protection are your only weapon. This was unexpected. It's safe from the point of view of the law. After all, none of such items is not a weapon as such. They will not cause suspicion from the attacker and become a real "quiet" your defender. In addition, such things are not worth it to have always with you. They are everywhere with you. They accompany you.
A person who has the motivation, talent and will to live always knows how to protect oneself from violence. He can use almost any object as a weapon. Everything can become a weapon when the main weapon is your mind. The government can not prohibit it, the customs can not confiscate it and the only time when you do not have it is in a dream. Here is the main lesson you should learn from this article.
You will learn how to use improvised weapons instinctively. Its effectiveness can depend on how good your eyes are in terms of rapid detection and selection of such a "weapon" and on your ability to use this object. Use this way to disable the attacker effectively. This is your main ability, which will increase only if there is adequate training.
First a few words about the nature of self-defense. Have you ever watched battles? What is the first reaction of the person being attacked? First of all, he grabs the weapon to block any attacks. If there is none, he instinctively grabs any object that can be used as a weapon. Often one of the first such objects is, for example, a chair. It is used as a shield. It is an instinctive and natural reaction, inherent both to experienced fighters, and to people who do not have experience in self-defense. Often, what you will defend depends on your mentality, the level of aggression and the situation itself. For example, some people grab a chair during an attack and use it only as a shield. Other, more aggressive fighters instinctively begin to repel the attacker. The use of a chair or other object as a shield can often be useful at first (especially in a sudden attack situation). You need to quickly gain control over the enemy through the power of aggression.
Often it is not possible to quickly figure out which object to use for defense. You simply do not have time to weigh the potential effectiveness of one object over another. It will come with experience. The main thing is that almost any object can be used as a weapon or at least a shield. Although it is obvious that some objects are more efficient than others.
Below is a list of several possible objects that can be used as weapons or improvised shields:
Bunch of keys:
The simplest and most effective option is not only self-defense, but also for attack, when necessary. Hold the key between the middle fingers, and with your hand clenched into a fist, hit! The blow will be several times stronger. In addition, the key will become a kind of "awl", which painfully hurts the attacker. It is best to mark in the face.
A pen:
As the saying goes: "The pen is stronger than the sword." Well, of course, it's figuratively. In any case, we do not use the sword in everyday life. But the pen is always please. This is a kind of "favorite" among experienced masters of protection from violence. The handle can be used as a stabbing weapon. Hold your finger on the "clicker" or the blunt end and hit down or sideways with a sharp end outward. A blow on the liver, in the soft tissues of the neck will give the greatest effect.
A bottle of beer or other bottles of glass:
Be careful with this. Do not think that by breaking a bottle about anything, you will get a fine weapon, like in a movie. This is not true. In fact, what you have left is a small piece of the neck of the bottle. That's all. You can not do anything about it. However, almost everything that you see on TV does not work, and if you try it, you will probably have big troubles. You can use glass bottles as a weapon, just by smashing it directly on the attacker's face! It is preferable to use full glass bottles, since empty ones will be much less effective.
Coffee mug, glass or ceramic cups:
Smash it against the attacker's face as well as the glass bottle. If you have hot coffee in your cup - even better! Hot is better as an alternative weapon.
Trash can:
A large improvised shield. Garbage can be thrown at the attacker, which will give you time to escape or use the best weapons.
Shoeflyadka in the bedside table or chest:
Very effective self-defense weapon, if you were attacked in the bedroom. Just grab and pull out the scarf. It can be used as a shield or even as an impact weapon, just like a laptop or a book. Check your shoe and see if it comes out completely and easily. If not, try adjusting it.
Umbrella cane:
One of the best types of alternative weapons. Has a huge punching power! It is easy to use and extremely effective. In addition, he is always with you, ready to disarm the attacker or block his attack.
Ashtray:
Usually effective weapons. Just hit the attacker on the head or on the face. Throw cigarette butts and ashes in his face like distraction.
Journal:
In a collapsed form, it can be an excellent weapon. The most effective use of rapid, strong, short blows to the most sensitive places. Most often - in the eyes.
A laptop:
Recently, one of the celebrities used a laptop as a weapon against the assertive paparazzi. Moreover, it is very effective. She just "slammed" it on the abuser's face. You can do the same. You can just hit the head like any other heavy object.
Notebook:
Used the same way as a laptop. It has thin and therefore sharp edges, however, on the other hand, it also has a smaller mass and can be more convenient. Although less painful.
Books:
Good not only for reading and learning. Used the same way as a laptop.
Lamp:
It is always at hand in your home. It can be broken on the face of your attacker. Use the cord as a flexible weapon.
Scotch:
Not weapons as such, but does good handcuffs to detain the intruder before the arrival of the police.
Switch:
Darkness is a brilliant weapon under certain circumstances. If you are attacked at night, the switch may be the best "weapon" for defense. Simply darkness is a tactical advantage for you. This is your "quiet" defense against violence. You know your home very well, but the attacker does not. You also know where you have other weapons and evacuation routes. Darkness can also just give you the time it takes to escape.
Clothing:
Do you wear a coat or scarf? A coat or jacket can be used to shield yourself from an attacker with a knife or other weapon. Long sleeves can also be used as a weapon for suffocation or entanglement of limbs.
Aerosols:
Any spray will be a brilliant alternative to a gas can. Think about it. What kind of sprays are around you? Hair spray? Deodorant? Air freshener? All these aerosols will act on the attacker almost as well as pepper spray. If you are a smoker you probably carry a lighter. Light it before spraying and you will get an excellent flamethrower.
Phone:
Excellent impact device, very convenient. The telephone cord quickly turns into a good flexible weapon.
Coins:
Throw coins out of your pocket into the face of the attacker. Another good diversionary maneuver. Clutch coins into a fist, you will get a great impact force.
Sports Equipment:
Tennis rackets, baseball bats, dumbbells, etc. All of them are excellent subjects of self-defense for girls. Keep a few of those in your car, even if you do not use them.
Your voice:
Your voice can become the main improvised weapon. He is always with you where you are. The word often can stop or at least affect the direction of the attack. Use such a skill as verbal judo. There are certain words, phrases, recommended for distraction, intimidation or confusion. It is not possible to bring them here. This can be the content of a separate article. If you want, you can read about this special literature.
This is just a small selection of items that can be used by you as self-defense. It would be unrealistic to list all the possible options that you might encounter. No one can know what will be available to you in each specific situation. Obviously, some people have a more extensive arsenal of potential alternative weapons than others. Look at the objects around you with different eyes. Look at the objects in the vicinity through a kind of "weapon" filter. Specifically ask yourself, what can be made of this effective weapon? How can this be used? Will this object really be effective? Learn to correctly assess the potential weapons in your environment. Be able to think outside the box, to think like a man who wants to protect himself and his loved ones from social predators. Potential weapons are all around you!
