It is not the same world it was a few years ago. People are desperate. If you don't want to carry a gun, the next best alternative is a thick stick. Look at the riot police with their sticks (Pr-24s). Get a self-defense cane (usually solid oak or hickory and one-inch thick), and you have the means to defend yourself with something you can legally carry for health. Also, there are special chapters for wheelchair-bound, elderly seniors, and against multiple attackers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHalf of the self-defense is knowing how to AVOID having to fight, and that can often be accomplished by common sense, cane twirling, and not looking like a target. Because of Newton's second law (force equals acceleration times mass), a fighting cane may be more powerful than a baseball bat because it swings faster. Experts have been clocked by radar guns swinging a cane over 200 mph, so you should easily reach half of that speed with practice. Level the playing field and give yourself an advantage. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt would help if you also recognized dangerous situations. For example, assume an unfriendly-looking man near you steps back with one foot and scratches his chin with the hand from the body's same side. Cops say there is a 90-to- 95 percent chance the person is preparing to unleash a roundhouse punch at you. Know how to protect yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Marinwood Publisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781737465904\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.55d","brand":"Ted Gordon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40793146687669,"sku":"9781737465904","price":14.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_34ed5edf-d07f-4c15-8f3f-7d594800f7c8.jpg?v=1629203772","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/cane-jitsu-defense-9781737465904","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
