A lot of women in smaller man are considered size challenged. They consider themselves to be at a disadvantage in a fight and that is only natural. Of course no one ever wants to get into a fight on purpose but when it comes to defending yourself when you’re attacked you have no choice.

There is a new self defense DVD on the market that shows you how to use your size to your advantage in a fight and come out on top. The host and instructor on the DVD is Bob Taylor who stands at 5′6″ tall on a good day. You really don’t need to be strong or agile she used this system that he teaches to overcome a heavier taller and stronger opponent.

This is not a normal martial arts learning tool. It really gets down to the down and dirty of no rules street fighting.

You learn from Bob where the most vulnerable spots are on a bigger man spots you can get to without being touched by your assailant. He teaches you how to disable a stronger opponent with that single stomp on the attackers foot putting him out of commission for quite a while..

His bag of dirty tricks will show you how to take out a larger attacker close-up without hitting him above his waist and how to use the psychological damage you have against an attacker who thinks his size is to his advantage.

Bob’s shares his experience and shows you how to fool an opponent in a critical first few seconds of the flight. Mr Taylor shows you the mother of all head butts that you will never forget. He shows you how to do more damage in a 2 second flurry of attacking strikes that will leave your opponent frazzled and he shows you much more.

The Small Man’s Advantage DVD is perfect for women and smaller men. I have always recommended that self defense strategy needs to have as its foundation a self defense course. You learn the basics from a real professional one of the best in the world not the barber down the street teach us karate part-time. You can learn about yourself with your friends or as I suggest make it a family project and teach your kids too.

So get off your couch and do something that is fun and good exercise for you. Start learning some self defense techniques that one day could save your life.

Right here in my own back yard, Colorado Springs, a night club with a troubled past was the scene of a near riot Sat night.

Over 100 people were involved. Police used pepper spray to break up the near riot.

It is proof positive to the effectiveness of pepper spray.

Of course it works on single assailants too.

The self defense products industry has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years. Most of this is due to the tremendous track record of success that self defense products like stun guns pepper sprays personal alarms and tasers have had. There are literally thousands of them on the market from hundreds of different manufacturers.

When we talk about stun guns like anything else the more you know about it the better your decision-making capabilities in choosing the right one. Here is as much information as you will ever need about stun guns.

Stun guns have been used by military and law enforcement personnel for decades with tremendous success. To me that is a great endorsement. Some people have a difficult time justifying deadly force in any situation. That’s where a nonlethal alternative comes into play. Their purpose is to allow you time to get away from a dangerous situation and seek help.

A stun gun is electrical device with two prongs on one end. The prongs conduct an electrical charge when a trigger or button is pushed. The electrical charge causes a disruption in the body’s nervous system that controls muscle movement. This overwhelms the neuro-muscular system causing a loss of balance and confusion. The energy from the stun gun causes the muscles to work very rapidly depleting it of all blood sugars that are needed for energy.

A half second application can cause some pain. A one or two second dose will cause muscle spasms and confusion. A 3 to 5 second application will cause the loss of balance and muscle control, confusion and disorientation. Assailants have been known to curl up in the fetal position with a 5 second application unable to do any thing. Stun guns are on average 86% effective. Stun guns cause no lasting damage to an assailant.

The best places to apply stun gun are the upper right and left shoulder, lower right or left rib cage or upper hip on either the right or the left side-so six targets in all. Stun guns must be applied to the attacker but will go through up to 1/2 inch of clothing. They use batteries as their power source although some stun guns are rechargeable. They use high-voltage and low amperage to disable attackers.

Voltages on stun guns range from 80,000 to 4.5 million volts. Voltage is important because the more power you have the last time is needed to get the desired effect. In an assault situation a second can be in maternity.

There are several stun guns that are over 1,000,000 volts starting with the double trouble stun gun at 1.2 million volts, the multi-function stun gun at 2.7 million volts and the runt stun gun with new voltages of 2.5 million 3.5 and 4.5 million volts. The new pretender stun gun is 4.5 million volts also. The hotshot stun gun is one of the smallest stun guns available and is 975,000 volts.

The more powerful stun guns are a little bit more expensive for sure. But we are talking about your self defense and your life may be in the balance- cost should not be an issue. I know of no stun gun that costs more than $100 at any rate. Discounts are almost always available. Most stun guns have a lifetime warranty and usually come with a holster and batteries if needed.

Some stun guns common disguised as cell phones, camera cell phones and flashlights.

One of the most popular stun guns is the telescopic stun baton which has proven to be a customer favorite in defending against dog attacks.

Most stun guns are about the size of the palm of your hand making them easy to conceal and carry. Some people like security guards and club bouncers need and intimidating stun gun. One model is nearly 9 inches tall and 775,000 volts-enough to scare anyone.

I always advise that if you feel threatened to hold overcharging stun gun up for an assailant to see the flying sparks and here are the intimidating noise. Sometimes that is enough to scare them away. Stun guns are not legal in some states so check with your local Sheriff’s Department for the legality before you buy one.

Finally be alert and try and stay out of dangerous situations. Use common sense and carry a powerful stun gun.

You have no doubt seen or heard about self defense products like stun guns, pepper sprays, TASERs etc. Information about their misuse makes for good TV. The fact is that military and law enforcement personnel have used them for years. Why? Because they work so well-it is that simple! They are also cost effective and easy to use.

Their transformation into civilian society is in large part due to the increase in crime over the years, improvements in the products, and widespread availability on the internet. Crime is everywhere. Crime against persons and property has gotten to the point where individuals need to learn how to protect themselves and their families. The police just can’t do it all.

Many people have a difficult time dealing with the moral issue of using a lethal weapon in the execution of a crime. So you have made a conscious decision to get a non-lethal self defense weapon to protect yourself, home and family. NOW WHAT?

Remember a self defense product is meant to give you time to get away from a dangerous situation. They are not meant to injure or maim-they just won’t/can’t do that.

The choices are enormous. There are several categories of products with often hundreds of choices in those categories. No less than your life may hang in the balance hinging on your decision. However, you also need to be alert to your surroundings, stay out of dangerous places, and take appropriate action-in other words-USE COMMON SENSE!!

Here are the most popular Self Defense Products.

BATONS-Probably the baton you are most familiar with is the one policemen-military and civilian-carry for controlling a person or crowds. They certainly work for all law enforcement personnel. We have improved on that idea and have two types for you to choose from.

a.REGULAR NON ELECTRIFIED MODELS. These are very effective for self defense. Like any other tool you need to learn how to use it for maximum effectiveness. They are non lethal when used properly but when used incorrectly they can become a lethal weapon. If for example you hit someone in the shin bone hard enough it could break causing you possible legal problems.

Have you ever banged your shin on a bedpost or coffee table? Then you know some of the pain a steel baton can inflict. These telescoping steel batons are the only self defense product I have that works by inflicting pain as an integral part of its’ success. They extend to three sizes: 16″, 20″ and 26″

b.ELECTRIFIED MODELS. Electrified models come in either telescoping or expanding or fixed length.

1.FIXED LENGTH. There are two choices here. The 300,000 volt and 500,000 volt STUN BATONS are 16″ and 20″.

2.TELESCOPING OR EXPANDABLE. These are stun batons that extend to nearly two feet with the flip of a switch. Only the extension of the stun baton is electrified. These are a favorite of folks who love the outdoors but are tired of being harassed by stray dogs. The telescopic stun baton is an example.

•Stun batons and other stun devices are about 85-90% effective. They may not work on drunken assailants or those on drugs.

PEPPER SPRAYS. Next on the list are Pepper Sprays. It is not a stretch to call these products part of chemical warfare-that is exactly how they got started thousands of years ago with the Chinese.

Law enforcement used tear gas for crowd and riot control after WWII. The FBI did three years of testing on OC (Oleoresin Capsicum) and found it great for their use.

Pepper Spray has been found to be especially effective against animals like bears, mountain lions, and dogs. Did you know the U.S. Postal Service has all of its carriers carry pepper spray?

Pepper spray today uses Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) which comes from cayenne pepper. Defensive pepper sprays are measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHU’s). That measures the “hotness” of a product. A jalapeno pepper has an SHU of 5000, a habanero pepper 300,000 and a typical pepper spray will be in the 2 million SHU range. Some are hotter

It causes shortness of breathe, temporary blindness with excessive tearing, the eyes actually shut down, coughing and choking. It is very nasty stuff.

Pepper spray is ineffective on some dogs and bad guys especially those on drugs or who are drunk. Typically it is about 86% effective. Most pepper sprays are ineffective in windy conditions-the wind blows the stream or mist off target.

Some pepper sprays are disguised giving the user the distinct advantage of surprise. Some of these are: lipstick pepper spray which is particularly useful for young women on dates; or the pepper pen disguised as a simple pen; or the pepper pager which clips on your belt and looks exactly like a pager.

Most Pepper Sprays come with key chains for ultra easy carrying. They come in sizes from ½ oz up to 9 oz and 16 oz

Pepper Sprays come in several dispersion forms. The most common is a mist but foam, fogger and gel models are available. Some models come with UV dye to help police ID the bad guys later.

There is even a model that has pepper spray in one pound walking weights-hot walkers are great for outdoorsy folks.

PERSONAL ALARMS. These simple devices are very cost effective and work very well for most situations like assault, rape and robbery. The concept is simple. People who would do you harm don’t like attention. Personal alarms are loud noise makers that will draw plenty of attention. Ours are in the 120-130 db range and most have lights included making them very helpful for dark parking lots and stairwells.

STUN GUNS. When we talk about stun guns it is a big topic. There are literally hundreds of choices in stun guns from as many as 9-10 different manufacturers each with its’ own complete product line. We carry the biggest selection of stun guns available.

A stun gun is a hand-held device that has a trigger (button) and two or more metal prongs at the end of the unit that when activated sends 80,000 to 4.5 million volts to the assailant. One model has two sets of prongs making it double trouble.

This causes an interruption in the body’s neurological impulses that controls muscle movement overwhelming the neuro-muscular system which causes the victim to lose balance and become confused.

The energy stored in the gun causes the muscles to work rapidly. This makes the assailant unable to produce energy for his muscles and his body is unable to function properly. The assailant will be unable to move for about 3-10 minutes because his blood sugar is depleted. This allows the victim enough time to get away and get help.

Voltages on stun guns can range from 80,000 volts to 4.5 million volts. Most are in the 500,000 volt to 900,000 volt range. Why is voltage important?

To be effective a stun gun must be applied to the assailant’s body from 2-5 seconds to bring him down. The higher the voltage the less time needed to be effective. If you are in an assault situation with a bad guy in your face a second can be an eternity.

The best places to apply are the upper right and left shoulder, lower right or left rib cage, and upper hip on either right or left side-SIX TARGETS in all.

In all fairness if an assailant is on drugs or is drunk a stun gun may not work. They do not rely on pain for results. Stun guns are on average 88% effective.

Some stun guns can be disguised as flashlights or cell phones making them particularly effective.

Stun guns must be applied to the attacker but will go thru up to ½ inch of clothing. Stun guns use batteries as the energy source. Some are rechargeable. They use high voltage and low amperage to disable attackers.

Knowing how they work should build confidence in their use. And know this: stun guns and other self defense items are used by police agencies and military units throughout the world for law enforcement and crowd control. These are the true professionals who know what they are doing. They wouldn’t use something that didn’t work.

Stun guns come in varying sizes from about the size of a pack of cigarettes to one affectionately called the ‘STUN MONSTER’ at nearly 9″ tall. Most are of the smaller variety making them easier to conceal. The larger models are great for security guards, bouncers and others that need an intimidating presence.

The most powerful stun guns are more expensive to be sure. But look we are talking about your self defense here and possibly that of your family-your lives may be at risk!

I know of no stun gun that sells for more than $100.00 anyhow. Discounts are almost always available.

If you feel threatened by an assailant charge the stun gun and hold it up for the bad guys to see the flying current and hear the sounds. Sometimes with a “back off” warning, the sounds of a charging stun gun is enough for the bad guys to leave you alone.

KNIVES. We sell knives on my website but I am not going to discuss them very much because they fall out of the realm of non lethal self defense products. Use of a knife in any self defense situation is not much different from using a firearm. It is considered deadly force. Know what the laws are in your area and if you are going to carry a knife get some professional training in its’ use.

TASERS. Let’s start by saying that over 14,000 law enforcement agencies in four countries use tasers. If that is not a huge endorsement nothing is.

The taser is a powerful conducted non lethal energy weapon that can incapacitate an assailant from 15 feet away. They are NOT stun guns. The TASER is a stun gun on STEROIDS.

HOW DO THEY DIFFER FROM STUN GUNS? There are two types of energy weapons stun guns and the Taser. There are four major areas of differentiation between them:

1. Tasers are more powerful in the 18-24 watt range versus a stun gun at 7-14 watts.

2. Stun guns affect the sensory nervous system. Tasers affect the sensory and motor nervous system.

3. Stun guns require contact with the assailant. Tasers are effective from 15 feet away.

4. Tasers have more effective stopping power than a 9mm gun shot, much more effective than a stun gun

HOW DO THEY WORK?

Taser C2 uses EMD (electro-muscular disruption) technology which sends an 18-26 watt electrical signal that completely overrides the central nervous system which controls muscle function. They are pulses of energy so powerful no one has ever been able to overcome their effect. The EMD effect can take down the most aggressive of attackers. A TASER can stop the most highly trained and aggressive of combatants.

The taser in police studies has a higher instant incapacitation rate than a 9mm hand gun. It shoots out two darts attached to 15 feet of wire. 50,000 volts travel over the insulated wires for an unbelievable near 100 % takedown record. The EMD power surge instantly disrupts the nervous system causing the assailant to fall to the ground in uncontrollable contractions and spasms. Yet a charge from a taser has no long lasting effects.

The taser uses an automatic timing mechanism that releases an electric current in a preset timing sequence that insures the assailant cannot recover enough to remove the probes.

For many years now I have been a strong advocate of school-age children learning some basic self-defense techniques. Some basic techniques are taught at an early age and reinforced periodically they will form a firm foundation for a self defense program that will last a lifetime.

The fact is knowing and practicing some street fighting techniques AKA ‘Jeet Kune Do’ (JKD)will keep you out of 95 percent of all street confrontations. It also builds enormous self-confidence in your ability to defend yourself. This affects the way you walked in the way you carry yourself also known as body language which sends a message to would-be assailants that you are not to be messed with.

One of the theories of JKD is that you should do whatever you have to do to defend yourself regardless of technique. People who use JKD believe that the best defense is a strong offense. In most assault situations, the last thing an assailant expects is resistance from his victim.

JKD is a philosophy and a hybrid system of fighting founded by Bruce Lee over 40 years ago. It uses direct and straightforward movements based on a combination of fighting systems. Some people call it a “style without a style.” It is basically an openhanded system that works on the use of different tools for different particular situations from kicking, punching and grappling.

It is one of the most successful self-defense techniques ever developed because it is easy to use and easy to learn. The self defense DVD by Chris Clugston is a great way to learn the basics of JKD as fast as you can especially for beginners. It is a perfect self-defense DVD for men and women to either learn by themselves, with their friends in a group or as a family unit. What a great way to spend time with your family.

Some of the techniques you’ll learn in this DVD are: what to do when you’re outnumbered or in worst case scenario; to never use your fists; a new fighting stance that allows you to keep your opponents off balance until you are ready to strike; and easy to remember simple take-down move you can use every time an attacker strikes; how to fight dirty and win; how to train and learn really effective moves while on your couch at home and much more.

Pepper spray is the most widely used self defense weapon in the world. It has been successfully used by military units and law enforcers for decades. Pepper spray or OC spray as it is called as become hugely successful in the civilian community. Part of the reason of course is because the successful track record that it has over the years and because it is so cost-effective.

Pepper spray is made of oleoresin capsicum. It is immensely hotter than habenero chiles. When it touches the face particularly the eyes nose and mouth it causes tearing of the eyes, swelling of the eyes, intense pain and makes it difficult to see and to breathe. The effects of pepper spray can last as long as half hour or more which use you more than enough time to get away and get help.

Stun guns are one of the most effective self defense products there is. Law enforcement agencies have been using them for years. That is quite an endorsement of their effectiveness currently rated at nearly 90% effective.

Stun guns are hand-held devices with two prongs on the end that produce an electrical charge. When applied to an assailant or 3 to 5 seconds the electrical charge causes the body to work very rapidly depleting it of all blood sugars needed for energy. All the assailant can do it is-NOTHING.
