Defense Punch Dagger

Knives can often be hard to hold and scary to use. Punch daggers, however, fit easily into the grip allowing one to use a "punching" action, reducing risk of self injury in high stress situations. The Black Hawn Self Defense Punch Dagger, shown below, folds up into a small compartment and is attached to a lanyard. This makes it easy to wear around your neck, under your clothing, or attach to the inside of your purse. It has an edge that is easy to grip to present sliding.

SOG Bladelight Knife

Everyone should carry a pocketknife – it is am amazing tool. However, when it’s dark, it doesn’t do much good. Enter the SOG Bladelight. It has 6 LEDs (3 on each side of the blade), so you can see whatever you are cutting – or stabbing – in the dark.  It’s also water proof, and works as an ultra-bright flashlight when the blade is folded.  Power comes from AAA batteries.

Brass knuckles iPhone case

This case transforms your iPhone into a self-defense weapon, or into brass knuckles to be precise. Although Brass knuckles iPhone case is designed to work as a self-defense weapon, it’s probably not recommended to use it, because you might damage your phone while using it.

Lua a form of Hawaiian martial arts

Weapons are made of wood and/or stone with the inclusion of sharks' teeth on some of the weapons. Most of the weapons were used for hand-to-hand combat.

Tessenjutsu

Folding fans with outer spokes made of iron which were designed to look like regular, harmless folding fans or solid clubs shaped to look like a closed fan.
Samurai could take these to places where swords or other overt weapons were not allowed, and some swordsmanship schools included training in the use of the tessen as a weapon.
The tessen was also used for fending off arrows and darts, as a throwing weapon, and as an aid in swimming, like hand-flippers.
Tessenjutsu is still practiced by a few experts in Japan to this day.

Stick Fighting

Two excelent books by Bruce Tegner. He wrote lot of books about various Martial Arts. Most of them were rubish, but these two are absolute gold.

Bartitsu

Just viewed the new movie Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. Highly recommended. Holmes' character, nicely portrayed by Robert Downey Jr. 

Holmes is a practitioner of Bartitsu, a system of Japanese wrestling."

Bartitsu was developed in 1898 by E.W. Barton-Wright, a British judoka who combined elements of grappling, la canne (stick fighting suitable for a walking cane or an umbrella), fisticuffs, and any other nasty method of street fighting he picked up during his long travels abroad working as a civil engineer for railway and mining companies. Barton-Wright spent three years in Japan studying jiu-jitsu and then judo under Jigoro Kano.

The Cane as a Weapon

This classic and unique American self defense manual was originally written by A.C. Cunningham in 1912. It details a practical and versatile system of self defense using a common walking cane or umbrella. Mr. Cunningham's twenty-three lessons include grip and guard positions; the different types of attack and defence techniques; targets, feints, counter-parries and footwork; dealing with multiple attackers and "special cases" such as defending against an attack by a dog, or using a hat as an additional weapon of self defense.

Lipstick Knife

In the long line of self defense weapons and products for the ladies comes the lipstick knife. The blade is firmly planted in the lipstick container and does not rise or lower by twisting the unit. 

Self Defense Keychain

Self Defense Keychain with Spikes. Looks cool as a keychain and can also be used as a weapon. It has two finger holes so that you can jab your attacker with spikes : ) 

Lethal Self Defense Weapon

At just four inches long, it fits easily in the hand and could be a remote control for opening car doors. 

     But this tiny device is in fact a lethal weapon - a gun capable of firing two 0.25-inch bullets. 

Made in Bulgaria where they cost £15.
