EDC Protection for our Gals…..

I miss the days when you could carry a kubaton.

Yep….TSA confiscated mine @ 10 years ago.

 

[Deputy819]

Are those one time use?

No, you can fire as many cartridges with them as the batteries will allow.

All kinds of make shift defensive devices. Keys, cards, pillowcases stuffed with goodies, jackets with heavy zippers, the list goes on. I miss the days when you could carry a kubaton.

A small flashlight works very well as a kubaton replacement, I've carried mine everywhere, including airplanes and have never had an issue.

You can get a 2 piece 2" Obsidian Baoding exercise balls for $13. It can an effective weapon, esp. when you leave in its pouch and a 550 cord.

The problem for ladies is their wardrobe makes it hard to conceal a handgun, sometimes. So, they end up leaving their protection in a car or purse. Having many options is great but I gave out good old push knives for Christmas: https://www.coldsteel.com/urban-edge/ . Many ladies can clip this on a bra, on a belt or wear it like a necklace. It isn't useful if it is just out of reach in the moment you need it.

They also make polymer versions for cheap that you can keep in a shower or a car door pocket and they won't rust. They aren't as sharp as steel but they will do some damage. https://www.coldsteel.com/fgx-push-blade-ii/

Knives and clubs sound OK but most guys are faster and stronger than girls AND you have to be close... get a good pistol and learn to shoot it
Center punch an attacker from 10 or 12 feet and its over

I'm glad someone said it.

Wrestling is cool, as a sport. Get caught wrestling in the streets and you're going to get kicked in your face. Or worst as a woman. The strength equivalence between weak men and strong women, men can still wreck them. It's the kind of biology advantage that's been shown by the Trannys doing MMA.

The other issue with ground combat sports is it's useless when you're against multiple people. You don't want to be taking the fight to the ground with three assailants…as a man or a woman.

As far as knife fighting, best case scenario…nobody wins in a knife fight. That's man on man.
Worst case, you get your knife taken from you.

I would never advise those, if their life is in danger then they need a firearm. Those are gimmicks for the uncommitted. I do not think that would stop a motivated criminal. Even police tasers do not work on everyone. I think those give a false sense of security. They would be better off planning on running away as fast as possible.

Every move in wrestling is designed to break something. And you don't need to go to the ground in wrestling to be effective.

Scenerios of teen girls in Federal Buildings, in High School locker rooms, College football games….what are your baby girls packing……?

Can't take firearms or any type of weapons in high schools or federal buildings. Not to mention you jeopardize their future if it's illegal for them to have handguns. Better for them to learn wrestling and other martial arts. Yes wrestling is a martial art, one of the oldest. Fighting isn't the only thing you learn from MA. Using your head and using your opponents strength against them are some of the things you learn.

Jiu-jitsu. Has nothing to do with strength.

Fact of the matter is that they cannot protect themselves with weapons everywhere they go. I think it's obvious the average woman cannot outstrength an average man. But even a minimally trained woman can very easily shred every ligament in any man's knee or fold his arm in half backwards. Will it have the same effect as a .380 to the melon? Probly not but in a fight for your life its a better tactic than knowing absolutely nothing about body posture, momentum and scrambles.

Yup most arts strength is only one component of the art. Technique is more important. Besides most criminals are predators and they aren't going to signal an attack from 10, 20, 30 feet and so on away. They're going to get close if they know what they are doing.

No. It's not.
What wrestling you doing? WWF?

Head and arm take down…on the ground.
Suplex was only legal in Greco and freestyle when I was in high school and that was a long time ago…either way…ground…

Single leg take down…ground…double leg…ground…..leg rides…ground….

Crucifix…you can only do on the ground.
Half Nelson ground.
Full Nelson illegal, but whatever…either way…it doesn't break anything…

Gator roll…kneeling…but it ends on the ground.

Nope.

Strength is a major component to getting out of holds, and maneuvering in ground grappling.

Clearly neither of you have done these things to any degree.

That's why there is a women's division.

It's also a major component to make a hard hit in MMA.
