As a piece of self-defense equipment, when you own a swing stick, in addition to playing with it, you must also clearly realize that the fundamental purpose of owning this equipment is to use it for self-defense. Therefore, some purposeful training is needed to maximize its effectiveness in real crisis moments and play a certain role in getting yourself out of danger

Weapons can make up for the lack of one's own skill and technology. When a personal weapon is in hand, when facing an opponent who is strong, skilled and full of fighting spirit, he will not be frightened and dare not take a step to deal with it. . Weapons can change the strength of the combat effectiveness and make up for the shortage of troops. Armed enemies can quickly clear obstacles and eliminate opponents one by one in the form of "flow operations". When faced with a gang, the wisest option is to take up arms and fight them. In short, if you want to defeat the many with the few, the many with the few, or the weak with the strong in self-defense, you must take up arms!
Compared with fighting with bare hands, the former is more dangerous. This is determined by the performance characteristics of the weapon itself: "revealing sharpness" and "sticking to the body, causing damage". One hit will kill This is the consistent style of Ji Dou. In an era before firearms appeared, armed fighting was the mainstream form on ancient battlefields. It was the fastest, easiest and most effective way to eliminate opponents.
In real life, if you are attacked by a gangster armed with a weapon, you must not think about "attacking with bare hands", that is only the patent of masters! Just do it as a last resort! Because your muscles, bones, skin and flesh can never be compared with the gangster's weapons. Your body cannot withstand a blow from the gangster's weapons! In this critical situation, if you want to escape death and escape intact, you must take up arms. In a life-and-death situation, if you pick up a weapon a second earlier, you may be out of danger a second earlier and have more hope of survival; otherwise, you may lose your chance of survival—lose your health and life—lose everything. Therefore, in critical moments, all hesitation must be eradicated, and any cowardice will be useless.
When a fight is inevitable, what you face is the gate of hell. In the end, one person from both the enemy and us will fall. Only by making decisive decisions, moving forward courageously, and regardless of the consequences can you hope to survive. As for what will happen next, that is something to consider only after the fighting is over - if you are still standing after the war.
In short, in any armed fight, only focus on the effect, not the consequences. If you worry too much about the situation, you will inevitably be soft-hearted and miss the chance of fighting. When the injured are not injured, the disabled are not maimed, and the dead are not killed, it will provide opportunities for the gangsters to counterattack. If the gangsters have the power of life and death, their own doom will inevitably follow.
I will now list several common ways of attacking with short sticks in different situations.
Short sticks against unarmed attacks
To defend yourself against unarmed attacks with short sticks, you can use short sticks to directly attack the fists and feet used in the attack, and then make continuous attacks after injuring the limbs. , until the opponent completely loses the ability to attack. "Use the surplus to bully the weak" is the basic strategic idea of ??using short sticks to defend against unarmed attacks.
Short sticks resist dagger (dagger) attacks
Daggers (daggers) are small and flexible, easy to carry and highly lethal. They are one of the most commonly used weapons by gangsters. When facing an opponent holding a short sword, you should first avoid close confrontation with him to limit the advantage of the short sword; secondly, lure the opponent to use the sword in the long-distance fighting range, and then directly attack his forward hand with a short stick, and then use the short stick to kill his forward hand. Take it down and make your opponent hit. Once the opponent loses his weapon, he is like a tiger without "minions". But with your own weapon in hand, the safety factor will be greatly improved.
Short stick versus sword attack
In essence, the techniques of sword and short stick are similar, but the defense against the attacks of the two is slightly different. In actual combat, be careful not to make direct contact with the opponent's sharp weapon. This is also the most advocated in Philippine martial arts. If you can only use your free hand to contact the opponent's sharp weapon as a last resort, then the contact position must be on the handle or back of the sharp weapon. superior.
Short stick versus long stick attack
The advantage of long stick is to use long stick to defeat shortcoming. If you fight at close range, you can limit the use of the long stick's offensive and defensive skills to the greatest extent; in addition, the swing range of long stick attacks is much greater than that of short sticks. Considering the above aspects, when using a short stick to fight against a long stick swing, you cannot retreat directly backwards, otherwise it will be used by the opponent. At the moment when the opponent's attack starts, you should quickly coordinate your footwork and body skills to rush forward to welcome him. The opponent's inner perimeter.
This can not only interrupt the opponent's attack in the form of blocking; it can also destroy the opponent's control of their weapons in the form of "killer stumps", thus forming a situation of turning defense into offense.
In addition, when you are forced to use a short stick to parry an opponent's long stick attack, you can directly drag the opponent's weapon-wielding hand along the stick body to alleviate the situation that is not conducive to you. For defensive techniques using short sticks to resist straight-line thrusts with long sticks, you can follow the "Hong'an Paul Tactics" public account for an introduction to Filipino short stick techniques. In addition, pay attention to the close coordination and flexible use of equipment methods, footwork, and body skills.
