Plus, the police can't say you've had it lying around just to hurt someone. Just remove the rubbery end. What do you think?

    I once found myself in a friend's appartment as 3 guys started breaking down the door. There were 4 of us in the couch at the time, we had all done some martial arts and in the room with us were a sword, an executioner's axe from the 1600's with actual souls in it, a baseball bat and a hammer. We were loaded! And what happened when the door started braking down is exactly what mike said would happen. Everybodys eyes got really big really fast and everyone was just staring for a considerable amount of time before we sprang into action and grabbed the weapons. However, when we realized that these guys had brought guns it took only about a microsecond for me to teleport to the balcony and jump. Everyone else landed injured but man i landed running, and i kept running for a considerable amount of time!

    The best melee weapon for home-defence in my opinion is a spear. In my country guns are very hard to get and it is illegal to get a license for self-defence so alot of people rely on melee weapons. People make their own spears with a broom handle, kitchen knife and duct tape then place it beside them when they sleep. The spear is a perfect and unusual home defence weapon in my opinion because it is easy to thrust a spear in a hallway but it is difficult to swing a machete or a bat. It creates great distance which would he hard to close and it has been proven as one of the most effective weapons through history.

    Sir, I've watched many of your wonderful and well thought out videos, and I am absolutely a fan of your work. My background is Taekwondo many-many years ago and later in my life (what I've come to believe is the more effective systems of Kali and Silat). From years of learning about anatomy and physiology and combining this knowledge with Kali and Silat, and understanding that the blade does not have to be large at all (however a very pointy and very sharp blade is always a good thing), and placement is also an extremely important thing. Combining knowledge, commitment to the defense, and training can absolutely be a devastating combination. There are many places on the human body where the puncture [with a jagged cut] does not have to be very-very deep at all to cause sufficient permanent damage to cause the attacker to stop what he is doing and wonder where his next breath is coming from, or wait....wait...I'm loosing consciousness due to blood loss...um...what...and then the lights go dark type of thing. I absolutely understand that no one is just going to let you do these things, but all I am saying is, if they are in your house and are going to kill you anyway, you absolutely have to do the things that you have been training to do for years and years, and you cannot hesitate, or your loved ones will absolutely be next. This mindset (from a front-line type of theater...I believe) is extremely necessary because these types of intruders in ones home ABSOLUTELY mean you harm (permanent harm), and I truly believe that hesitation can be the end of you and your loved ones. Commitment to an explosive defense (even if I am killed in the defense of my family) is super-super important. After all, what is the alternative, the annihilation of my family??? With these types of things in mind, my training over the many-many years has been very-very realistic and NOT point based.....at all...because in the real world, I'm well aware of the fact that you get ONE chance, and one chance only to save your loved ones (and this is NOT a [macho man] garbage thing ....at all). Peace, love, and happiness to you and your family, my brother. I love your videos, and may you always be well, sir.

    You're right, most people don't realise how close and personal it is to use a knife on someone, and you have to persist at it. Stabbing someone is very emotional. It's nothing like the speed and distance of coldly shooting someone with a nice handgun. What you should remember with any weapon is, if you fail to use it, they will likely use it on you.

    I’ve recently bought a micro pick axe/mattock tool from my local hardware for gardening. It’s smaller than a normal size pick axe and is perfect for one hand self defence use. It’s still got enough weight to cause considerable damage and has a flat chisel side for blunt force trauma or a sharp pick side for a death blow. Add a tactical flashlight and whoever’s coming into my home uninvited may not be leaving.

    The only time I can see myself going toe to toe against someone who has an edged weapon if I were unarmed, is if there is absolutely no other option or in the extreme situation I'm the only 'meat shield' between those I love. I'd run away, fuk trying to win a knife engagement. Even if you do "win", chances are you're going to bleed out and die soon after. A person I knew years ago, who is a badass brawler, was in a "fist fight" with someone. Thankfully my buddy quickly realized his arms were bleeding profusely and GTFO while he could. The other person had at one, if not two straight razors and was going to work with them. This is why I enjoy regulated fighting. People are usually friendly, their pals aren't going to jump in, you're probably not going to get shot or stabbed by someone, etc...

    Bedroom, a sleep, and the only option is a knife, large Mag-light and my hands given Australia’s legislation. The choice comes down to the situation and situational awareness. The Mag-light’s mass means that it is more unwieldy than a bladed weapon. However, if it’s dark, the light-blindness can allow an initial advantage. One item not raised is that it’s always beneficial to have options, akin to the phrase, “different horses for different courses”. Think of it like Rock-Paper-Scissors. You don’t know in-advance what your adversary might have, and you’ll have a split second to determine and acquire what is your best option given the circumstances.

My personal choice next to a great shotgun, is the crossbow silent great range, easy to use, & most importantly very quiet. Next spear, sword, axe, crow bar, or aluminum bat does maximum damage without getting to close. Obviously these are backups for handguns, assault rifles, shotguns, & high power sniper rifles, and maybe even hand grenades. Believe me when I say it pays to be prepared..

    Something worth noting with axes, weapon axes and tool axes have very different heads - weapon axes always have much smaller, lighter heads, for more speed, and will still deal some serious damage. Tool axes with larger heads are able to have larger ones, because they don't need to be used with any real speed or sense of urgency. Sure, it'd really suck to get hit by one, if you survived, but a weapon axe is ready to swing again before you've even stopped the swing of a splitter or something like that

    @@jamesbunda806 I mean you can say the same about guns... I don't know why this guy thinks a gun is instantly the best weapon for self defense after saying "I think you can't kill someone" "I think you'll freeze". Then what's the damn point? You think you can shoot someone? If he gets too close that he can take your gun and point it at you, what will you do? A knife is far better (as long as you're not dealing with someone with a gun) because you can decide how lethal you want/can be with it. A misplaced gun shot can instantly kill a person that maybe was only drunk and got into the wrong house. Then you go to jail. Both the firearm and the knife are threatening, but only one tells you "I cannot hurt you if you don't get close, so please don't come close", the other instantly tells the other guy "I can kill you right now, what will you do?". If the other guy has a gun and sees you reaching for your gun, what do you think he will do? Sing a happy song while you take your gun and point it a him? He'll most likely kill you before you can react. So no, the best home defense weapon would always be a knife, but the best defense of all would be to hide your family and if you can and let the bad guys room to leave. No possession or money in the world is worth your life.

Thieves want stuff easily without the fight usually. Good home defence could be as easy as locking internal doors between rooms. My house was broken into but all the downstairs doors are locked.

The enemy now has two choices, they can drop whatever is in their other hand and try to stop the bleeding or they can continue to fight and in under a minute fall on the floor out of blood. If they choose to put pressure on the wound you now have the choice of phoning for an ambulance and a police officer or making another hole in them.

    Living in my Van for years I've found a small 18 inch metal bat, and gel pepper spray close by are the best. Great deterant for knives and swords except a gun.

    I'm in my bedroom, I have a stun gun next to my bed and a stun baton near the door. I've also seen Home Alone like 30 times.
