In this video, I cover the strengths and weaknesses of a baseball bat in self-defense and how to improve effectiveness. #baseballbat #selfdefense #coldsteel
The best tip for using a bat for self defense, slip a sock over the end, cover all but the handle, and loosely tape it in place. When you swing it, and your target grabs your bat, the sock will slide off in his hand, and you’ll get a second swing, before he gets to try to grab it again. New Subscriber here, about your sound effects, you’ve read some old Batman comics, haven’t you? KA-POW!
@@minzekatzemight be a woman swinging it. My wife prefers bat to firearm. Whatever works. There was a 14 year old softball girl who saved her family from a home break in by a grown man with her softball bat. Some girls know how to swing! The sock is a decent trick, but all the other skills covered in this vid + training is key. Shouldnt be first time when defending your life
I think what people don’t realize too is that, in the moment, you may not want to hurt the other person. It sounds crazy, but if you think about it, most people don’t wish to harm other humans. So sometimes, you yourself will prevent your swing from being as effective. Let it rip
4 of 4: you made a good point about knowing HOW TO HANDLE A BAT. back when i was in school the kids use to back up when i came to the plate because they knew i could make contact. BUT ANOTHER IMPORTANT TIP is you gotta be in the mindset to defend yourself. it could be a matter of life and death. you or your loved ones or pet dying. you have to let the rage come out. the adrenaline will take over. these videos of people blocking your bat wont work if your are swinging right and left with all your fury. not taking aim or winding up. just come and them with pure fury. ive used that before against two dogs mauling a cat on the street to death. when they saw me running toward them with a four by four piece of wood they took off like bats (the other kind) out of hell. those dogs LOST ALL THEIR AGGRESSIVENESS in an instant. you gotta out crazy them~ lil bro
The collar bone and knee cap/ shins are often ignored as primary targets. Both areas will incapacitate. Also not to overcommit with the swing, being able to follow through with another strike and making it flow. I would like to see some more stick type weapons on your channel. Escrima, staff and cane work. I carry a Canemasters hickory cane in my vehicle. It is designated as a medical device making completely legal to carry.
The No more updated Channel ,Memag' about medieval fighting Shows technics from an old German treatise : Fighting with the peasants / farmers Staff. May be intressting for you. You have to Look, in which of the Videos this is shown.
Ok, I will take in my car Cold steel Dragon cane 😅 would tell the police that I have Achilles heel consiquences 🥳 Bat is the best one after the tear gas. It would be an adequate power to stop violence. Not to eliminate 😅
I'm fan of your videos 👍 I can see we share lots of ideas and have the same gear 😅 I discovered your Chanel a few days ago and was sceptical in the beginning, but at the end of your first review I was sold. Keep up the good work 👍
I believe that these instruments, such as baseball bats, axes, knives can be more effective in a fight at very close range, much more than a gun, but they need to be used with cold blood and determination.
Neegan's bat Lucille was excellent. It was hard to be grabbed due to the barbed wire. I think the fake high to the head then go low to knee shot is where it's at.
I have lucille, made her 3 weeks ago. Been doing a lot of practice and what I’ve found is that going for the legs is a downright broken way to stop a fight. This bat deforms and tears up literally anything it hits. But I don’t think anyone would engage me if I pulled it out, or they’d pull out a gun. I gotta be careful
Worth it to keep an eye out at Walmart’s clearance aisle, picked up a teeball bat for 5 bucks just today. Those cold steel bats are nice, you’ll never break one, but they are HEAVY.
In close quarters, flip the bat around and swing from the barrel, and strike with the handle. You have a shorter range of motion, you're also making a smaller target to block.
Sound effects good, LOL love the frozen water balloons, reminds me of when i used my CS War hammer on a coconut, thing exploded but sounded like a .22 going off
For Drama Resolution, Baseball Bats were the Weapons of Choice in Bensonhurst. Most of the Time you see them used Outdoors. Everyone in the Neighbourhood had Bats at home, in their cars. Like any Weapon it has Pros and cons. Like you said... Practice with it. Some Men are Instinctually Good with Bats. I can Always tell in the first few seconds if a man knows what he is doing with a bat. Even with Practice, a man with a Bat Needs Good Strength, Speed and Confidence. Are you Sure that you are Not from Bensonhurst ??? You would have Fit Right In.
bat is not for close combat, you need to use small little league bat, swing at the knee and disable them first, when they go down, swing at the top of the head. use panty hose on your bat, that way if they grab it, the bat will slip out of their hand. use aluminum bat, it make a nice ringing noise when it hits.
How do you feel about the pepper ball guns. I see a few variations 1911 to revolver models. Could you see this as a primary and a sub compact (taurus g2c) as a secondary?
@@411Outdoors thank you for the awesome content. Been thinking about a less than lethal option. Pepper spray seems to uncontrollable and stun guns are to close for comfort. Burna and salt are like $300 - $400. I see afew around $100 that seem to be great alternatives. I'll be waiting on the upload whenever it drops.
I think they’re cool, but I’ve never tested or used one. I don’t think I’d carry or use one, without having the real thing as a backup. If you pull a pepperball gun in an assailant, and he happens to have a 9mm in his pants, what do you do then?
I am not a fan of the Bat or Club. They are impact weapons that need room to be most effective. No I have built a "Mace", but again, its an impact weapon, although it is not very long. So I'm glad your mentioning the cons of a bat.
Best part of this video is the guy doing the video is capable and F4D (Fit 4 Duty). No mall ninja here, a fit dude that most criminals would pass on by.
I would suggest a nice little league aluminum bat. Lighter and faster acceleration… pass on the steel. And go to the batting cages and hit a moving ball. Skip on the frozen balloons.
I love this videos it's just sad to see all the videos to defend from a bat coming for you don't include people that actually know how to use a bat I'd like to see and example of eny way they can try to block the jabs and such from the end of the bat I understand there crushal too your success of disorienting them to be able to swing but is there a way they can avoid it
People are pretty resilient with regards to their ability to get out of the way of things. That’s one reason why I always say training the motions and just be coming as fast as accurate as possible increases your chances. When you train you almost have to imagine how obstinate people are.
Haha ,i have an aluminum 26" bat that ive had with me for 30 years..never had to use it but believe me ,, soneone tries f...kin with me , crack boom bang bro. I played baseball as a youngster , so i kno how to use it. But yhx for the advice
Swinging a baseball bat like Mickey Mantle is easy when you are standing in the middle of the woods; not so easy when you are standing in the hallway that leads to your bedroom door.😉
Self defense can sometimes get you I. Trouble. Say you aim for the head and kill someone. You could be facing life in prison. I say use a bay but aim for the mid section, arms, legs. To be safe
A Home Run 4 sure. As a DAV who uses a cane, I have defended well w/a uppercut to jaw then hook 2 neck pulling them past me during my hasty retreat. The other tow perp's. did not follow . Seems when the Alpha male oes down rest scatter quikly
About to confront a wicked woman and her minion(s) who never ceases to persecute me .. thanks for the heads up bruh ...... this might be the last comment I write on UA-cam gggggggggggggggg
1of 4: i just watched about 10 youtube vidz on using the bat as a weapon. and YOURS IS THE BEST BY FAR. gave me many ideas i hadnt thought of. there are 100 vidz on how to DEFEND AGAINST A BAT- so perhaps a follow-up to show how to eliminate those defenses?~ lil bro
You're both addressing & blind to the most important issue here. Bat doesn't allow you to control distance & can be shut down by just grabbing it. You intuitively know this hence those bat "pokes" in the video. People have solved this many centuries ago with you know - swords/daggers which can thrust and can't be blocked by just grabbing them
Swords are definitely superior but everyone has this assumption that you’re always going head to head with people. Ambush is also a real thing. Bats esp are great if you can get someone who is not completely aware of what’s coming. People who think they can just blindly swing a bat at someone often their bats grabbed but there are proper ways to use a bat. I can promise anyone that if I have a bat in my hand, it won’t be so easy to grab. It’s all context. If anything it is a deterrent
2 of 4: remember you arent necessarily defending against a human. remember "mans best friend" (dogs) kill about 25,000 humans each year. just last NIGHT i was delivering for grubhub/doordash at some fancy apts (they are the ones with the most vicious dogs) and they had two ginormous dogs behind a short fence trying their best to get out and get me. i pulled out my halt (for dogs) and tazer so i could complete the delivery. im thinking of carrying a chain from now on also~ lil bro
Guys you have to at times_ you poak & jab & run away 😮 & get another 🔪 weapon with you, be careful and do some hand to hand combat _ blades to use _ with fighting clubs, do moving tactics _ 🥷🏿🔪🏃🏿☝🏿🤼🥊👊🏿✋🏿 guys 😔 protect your self _" some others don't make if you don't _ brothers you Slurps behind enemy lines with these gals 🤔 some time, but stuff maybe 🤔 still nice, but you have to be careful _ normal guys 😮
3 of 4: i now have a psycho neighbor with a vicious dog who he let kill one of my cats. it jumped my fence to do that. it also came to front door an ATTACKED some bedding i have their for neighborhood cats. the cops and animal control were totally useless even though i had camera evidence of the dog trying to jump my fence and the neighbor LITERALLY training his dog to sic my cats. the cops also said if my cat ever crossed into his property his dog had the right to kill them. so that was my green light if his dog ever crosses back into my yard. so i have a bat outside my front door and in the back of my truck positioned so that i can grab it. the cops aint gonna protect me (my cats are now indoor) so im gonna do it myself. through the years ive also had stray traveling dogs kill kittens in my front yard twice. so yeah mans best friend aint really mans best friend~ lil bro

Haha! I sure have 😂 that is a seriously cool idea about the sock👏
i would just barb it or oil it up
or you just swing like a man and break the guys bones with rhe first hit

Hell no. No socks. Once I use it. I’m going to autograph it for him 😂

So true!
BAYBLADEEEE LET IT RIP!!!!
I was born and raised on the streets of Newark, NJ. I was trained using bats, crowbars, and blades since I was about 7 years old. Nice video.

The sound effects, are especially good, because they help you to remember to breathe, and generate power!
Wah Sahhhhh!!!!

Spot on with the sound effects 👌
Lol, Good sound effects. And good advice here. I like what that guy said below about the sock.
Haha!💯🙂👊
Excellent video thanks man. I really needed advice
Glad I could help!🙂
Love the sound effects, and the lessons
Glad you enjoyed!🙂

Never aim a Louisville Slugger at anybody you don’t intend to kill!
Defense is he moved. 😂
love that stuff. thanks man!!!
🙂👊👊
I'd ask a lawyer but if I choose an bat it would be factory made for baseball and I'd have glove/ball in the area 🤷♂️
I got a laugh when Cold Steel even pretended these were for baseball 😂
Brooklyn Shorty, Brooklyn Basher, Brooklyn Crusher and my sweet PR 24.
Enjoyed watching your video bro, along with the sound effects 👍
Thanks haha!
Your channle is so Underated
Really good content man 🔥
Thank you so much!
Neegan's bat Lucille was excellent. It was hard to be grabbed due to the barbed wire. I think the fake high to the head then go low to knee shot is where it's at.
Somewhere it is illegal to do the barbwire thing
I would most definitely fear the barb wire
I personally wouldn't do barb wire on a bat. I think it would do more damage to the bat itself than the intended target or bad guy.
I have lucille, made her 3 weeks ago. Been doing a lot of practice and what I’ve found is that going for the legs is a downright broken way to stop a fight. This bat deforms and tears up literally anything it hits. But I don’t think anyone would engage me if I pulled it out, or they’d pull out a gun. I gotta be careful
@@markonarco4007 definitely take it easy, as the guy with the gun usually ends being the only one left to say what happened.
Worth it to keep an eye out at Walmart’s clearance aisle, picked up a teeball bat for 5 bucks just today. Those cold steel bats are nice, you’ll never break one, but they are HEAVY.
In close quarters, flip the bat around and swing from the barrel, and strike with the handle. You have a shorter range of motion, you're also making a smaller target to block.
Sound effects make this sound just like a 411 outdoors comic book😂 just subscribed too!
Thank you my friend!
Am also a great sound affects guy LOL! Useful info. Thanks.
Thank you
Sound effects good, LOL love the frozen water balloons, reminds me of when i used my CS War hammer on a coconut, thing exploded but sounded like a .22 going off
Love that war hammer that thing is jacked!
I have two Brooklyn Slammers and a smasher. Great bats
Yes sir👍
Please review each individual bat if possible 🙏

You would have Fit Right In.
Haha! Shoot I might be and don’t even know it 😂 thanks bro!
😂😂😂😂 the sound effects , i feel u bro , we did that shit too as kids
😂😂😂👍
Don't forget the thrust. Faster and doesn't telegraph the blow. If you have a wooden bat, taper the end to a point for greater effect.
Excellent video 👍
bat is not for close combat, you need to use small little league bat, swing at the knee and disable them first, when they go down, swing at the top of the head. use panty hose on your bat, that way if they grab it, the bat will slip out of their hand. use aluminum bat, it make a nice ringing noise when it hits.
Keep your eye on the ball.
How do you feel about the pepper ball guns. I see a few variations 1911 to revolver models. Could you see this as a primary and a sub compact (taurus g2c) as a secondary?
This question is actually quite intriguing and may be doing some research. I’m gonna screenshot this and look into pepper ball guns. Thanks!
@@411Outdoors thank you for the awesome content. Been thinking about a less than lethal option. Pepper spray seems to uncontrollable and stun guns are to close for comfort.

That’s sound effect thing is true asf
🤣

👊 thanks bro
Sound effects only add to your explaining.... 👍🙏
What do you have wrapped on the handle of the bat
Grip and shock absorption
I've got a aluminum T-ball bat at every door in my house.
Wood or aluminium, can an aluminium withstand fullpower swings?
There’s something about me that prefers wood, but these are poly propylene
Boom headshot!
Highly unsporting, a Gentleman uses a cricket bat and gives the attackers fair warning and a chance to escape a Damm good thrashing 🤣🤣🤣👍👍
Hahahahha!
What about the Brooklyn Whopper?
Haha! You have to be more whopper of a man than this 5 10 195 pound pit bull to swing that thing 😂😂
Your sound effects not bad, but if i had two guys attacking me, i would go Tap Tap POP , Pew PeWW CRACK !
I would suggest a nice little league aluminum bat. Lighter and faster acceleration… pass on the steel. And go to the batting cages and hit a moving ball. Skip on the frozen balloons.
I’m just copying Coldsteel lol
what size bat do you recommend?
The Basher my friend. Heavy enough and can swing fast
I love this videos it's just sad to see all the videos to defend from a bat coming for you don't include people that actually know how to use a bat I'd like to see and example of eny way they can try to block the jabs and such from the end of the bat I understand there crushal too your success of disorienting them to be able to swing but is there a way they can avoid it

🙂👊👍
Same thing with a pool cue
I think there are too many downsides to the baseball bat. I think the rounders bat is best
They definitely have their weaknesses for sure. The rounders is nice👍👍
Swinging a baseball bat like Mickey Mantle is easy when you are standing in the middle of the woods; not so easy when you are standing in the hallway that leads to your bedroom door.😉
True Which is why I prefer the Brooklyn basher
sound effects are great, at least you did not use Star Wars Jedi sound effects, ha ha ha.
😂😂
To be honest if I was in situation where I would be in danger I would just be swinging
😂👍 i understand
Those cold steel bats are just far too heavy.
I have one, but I could never use it effectively as a self defence tool.
Self defense can sometimes get you I. Trouble. Say you aim for the head and kill someone. You could be facing life in prison.
I say use a bay but aim for the mid section, arms, legs. To be safe
A Home Run 4 sure. As a DAV who uses a cane, I have defended well w/a uppercut to jaw then hook 2 neck pulling them past me during my hasty retreat. The other tow perp's. did not follow . Seems when the Alpha male oes down rest scatter quikly
Thanks for video 👍 it is cool not to eliminate the target, but disable it 😅 police would appreciate your humanity 😂
😂💯

You can poke with the bat 🔪🏏🏑⚒️🗡️ a knife with a bat or stick can work 😮
I'm curious what noises you make while sculpting that neato soul patch.
Just sounds of satisfaction haha!
Seems a lighter aluminum bat is better. Get some good flick action and bat agility if you have strong wrists and forearms.
Yeah this polypropylene bats will smash one into bits haha. Probably what cold steel had in mind 😂
I don't carry a baseball bat. And what will a baseball bat do against a .45?
It’s all about the context of the situation. Not everyone has a 45. Sometimes it’s just a quick oncoming attack.
2 of 4: remember you arent necessarily defending against a human. remember "mans best friend" (dogs) kill about 25,000 humans each year. just last NIGHT i was delivering for grubhub/doordash at some fancy apts (they are the ones with the most vicious dogs) and they had two ginormous dogs behind a short fence trying their best to get out and get me. i pulled out my halt (for dogs) and tazer so i could complete the delivery. im thinking of carrying a chain from now on also~ lil bro
