Automatic Baton
It is essential to know some good empty-handed fighting techniques, but they’re only one aspect of close combat. Weapons are a force multiplier and can make the different when you’re attacked so they cannot be ignored. Self defense is not one style of fighting it is a way of thinking for your life. Yes you might be ready to fight, but being vigilant can prevent you from ever having to use your self defense training. Having a weapon and training with it is just another way of ensuring your safety.
An automatic baton or Tokusho Keibo might just be the weapon you need to protect yourself and do nonlethal damage. The weapon is nonlethal in the sense that you will be beating the crap out of an attacker rather than stabbing them or spraying them with mace. Now you’re probably thinking you can walk around with a police baton on your hip, and you’re right. The thing is an automatic baton goes from around eight inches in length to twenty or more inches and weighs around twenty ounces. There is usually a black molded hand and the compact device that deploys can either be a metallic or black metal. It opens with a touch of a bottom or a flick of the wrist and then shrinks back to its original size just by hitting it hard on the ground. There are many different versions of the weapon, but all have common features and can do a lot of damage.
If you’re having trouble picturing what these weapons look like or are capable of down check out your DVD collection. Check out Clint Eastwood’s In the Line of Fire where the action film veteran along with Dylan McDermott and Rene Russo play secret service agents who race to track down a CIA trained psychopath played by John Malkovich who is bent on killing the President of the United States for perceived betrayals. When Eastwood’s and McDermott’s characters investigate a the home of the assassin they run into an armed CIA operative who quickly takes Eastwood’s firearm, but doesn’t move fast enough to take away his automatic baton. Clint quickly deploys the weapon and takes out the attacker and puts him in a strange hold with it giving McDermott time to pull his weapon. It is a simple fast effective little weapon that can make a difference in a fight and it enhances any martial arts training you already have.
