Allow me to address a few points. Kubotans are absolute crap for a woman to depend on to defend herself, period. (Men for that matter) End of story. Kubotans were developed by Tak Kubota to assist police in restraining techniques. Any other use is fantasy and dangerous misinterpretation of what it was designed for. Fucking tonfas are crap for fighting, unless you swing them like a club. Swinging from the handle is useless. Even cops don't want to carry PR-24s anymore. Go to a Dog Brothers meeting sometime and see how many guys prefer tonfas. There is no such thing as having to carry an ID because you have trained extensively in martial arts. I don't give a fuck what you trained in. [b]You are a fucking liar, lady.[/b] Lester is right about carrying his .45 acp. Lester knows what the fuck he is talking about. The shot to the throat advice is good, if you are bare handed. It works. Sorry if I sound like a fucking asshole. I don't want to see anyone develop a sense of confidence and get killed because they depended on a fucking keychain that only works in a classroom environment. Keep it real. [/quote] ... and you are misinformed. [/quote] Why don't you take your line of shit over to Bullshido? Tell them that you are required to carry a fucking ID because you are proficient in whatever fantasy fucking art you say mandates it. That's one of the oldest stories around, and it's just that. A story. Make believe. You said, and I quote, "I am internationally certified & required by law to carry such an ID at all times. I have trained in 5 martial arts & hold advanced black belts in 2." What law? What state? Is it international law? If so, please point us to where we can go register, because some of us have been in violation of this law for some time. You strike me as a Taekwondo black belt in a strip mall McDojo, taking weekend seminars in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu or perhaps Kali concepts with a JKD group, and using that to puff up your credentials. There are far too many assholes like that, and that's just the kind of person that says they have to register their hands or carry a fucking ID. Prove me wrong. [/quote] Are you drunk, psychologically unbalanced, or just insecure? You actually sound like a wife beater. OBTW, I would suggest ignoring this AC. A recent thread of his is indicative of his maturity & intellectual level. Quite a lovely (**sarcasm**) rant on divine appendages: http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message2002970/pg1 :Xanax: [/quote] be careful, this AC is wise beyond his beers [/quote]

Everyone can make suggestions. Now I know I'll get the "derp good luck getting that close to me when my ar-15 is pointed at ur head". Look if shit happened at points close encounters are inevitable at some point so make your suggestions, and why you like the weapons...I'll start out with 2.

That badboy is the ball headed war club, and Cold steel makes an awesome one for 40 bucks. What I like about it whatever it hits it completely obliterates. If you get the ball on target whatever the person was blocking with would be useless after a strike from it. There are vids on youtube of people using some on concrete blocks ect ect. If you watch those vids it looks very inefficient in that it takes 2 hands, and has a ridiculous wind up. Quite simply the people have no effing idea what they're doing it's easily used in one hand all you have to do is put a quick twirl to get the power momentum going then strike the target. Yes has a bit of delay, and takes some time to recover after a strike so you would need choose your strikes wisely. As long as you make contact though it's over.

That is a tonfa. Now what I like about it is it's flexibility you grip it with thumb up and it goes along the bottom side of your forearm. Now, because of it's design it's equally offensive and defensive how it lies along your forearm fits perfectly with your natural reaction to protect yourself with blocking with your forearm. It also allows for some interesting grips, and locks if one were so inclined but that's not really needed. Also the stub towards the top allows for quite a debilitating blow wherever it hits as, and on top of that the long end along with grip can allow for it to swing around for a baseball bat type strike which obviously very potent.
Personally I prefer blunt weapons in fight scenarios that are face to face. They may not have as high chance of instant kill, but if landing on whatever body part that part is pretty well done.
Now your turn GLPers, what you got for me?
