I have more experience then I like to admit with violence. What The Acolyte said about the knee is very right no one can walk with a broken knee. Becomes a problem of Physics and as Scotty on Star Trek says "You cannot change the laws of Physics." As for the nose that is VERY wrong. The nose is cartiliege not a bone at all. Ever see a skull with a nose. It cannot penetrate the skull. Every watch boxing of any kind. It hurts like heck but will at best cause watery eyes and pain.<BR/><BR/>I recommend this for those with zero training. get a container with a lid you can snap off with one thumb but unlikely to come off by accident. Fill it with Cayanne pepper, powdered wasabi, chili powder, your choice of very hot spices. If you suspect trouble get it ready and throw into opponents face. A spice jar labled hot spice is never an illegal weapon. But it works, a full jar can be used a few times. One cavet. Wind direction do not use it if you are downwind. I have seen that happen once. It was being used to stop an attacking dog. The dog did run off but not from the spice but scared by the screams of the man who just got the spice blown back in his face. He needed a trip to the hospital.<BR/>If you are going to get a store bought version get one with an unwashable dye. That way the police can pick him up at the hospital.Sid Brechinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861501123102122129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927199606776255610.post-59258528755896761762009-03-09T13:26:00.000-07:002009-03-09T13:26:00.000-07:00I learned three tricks of self defense. When a you...I learned three tricks of self defense. When a you know is up to no good is approaching you and when they get close enough and their leg is flat, extending while walking, kick their knee back and you'll have shattered their leg and will never be able to use it correctly again, hence it being shattered and bent completely backwards.<BR/>Secondly, if you use your palm and hit them straight up from under their nose, you will push a bone from their nose straight up into their brain, thus killing them...<BR/>Thirdly, always carry a pen, self explanatory.<BR/><BR/>But also, you can buy keychain mace since the three above are a little somewhat extreme in most cases...The Acolyte Taohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285748802902260770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927199606776255610.post-16943590842948950832009-03-09T03:32:00.000-07:002009-03-09T03:32:00.000-07:00Carry car keys hun, and scream like a banshee then...Carry car keys hun, and scream like a banshee then run!!

Unfortunately, what happens here in Cleveland is only a smaller version of what happens in the big cities (I donno if that's a good thing or bad).<BR/><BR/>Odette, as far as escrema sticks and nunchukas, they fit in pants pockets (front and back) very nicely untill you sit down. Then, you might hear a ripping sound or, it can get very painful. Don't ask me how I know these things. :(Angry Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978451109796261747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927199606776255610.post-38975780350226078212009-03-08T22:54:00.000-07:002009-03-08T22:54:00.000-07:00What i hate is when the elderly are mugged, someti...What i hate is when the elderly are mugged, sometimes just for a few pounds.
