Thanks buddy! I almost didn’t do one this week because I’ve been so busy with work. But, I quickly made that video last night and it turned out okay. Have a great week brother!
I'm following for the amount of professionalism and visual testing on several things. Very truthful reviewing and I haven't even heard of the monkey fist so I'd say its very useful information.
I really appreciate that Stu! It’s people like you who comment kind words like that who make this worth doing. Thanks so much and have a great weekend!
Best self defense advice I was ever given...Try to remain composed enough to determine if you are defending your safety or your pride..One will heal much faster than the other❤️ A bruised ego Will suck... But a sucking chest wound sucks a LOT WORSE if things go south.
i carried a monkey fist on me for years and years, one time i got stabbed in the gut, i pulled out my monkey fist and gave the attacker a skull fracture about 5 seconds before i passed out from the kitchen knife in my liver
Oh wow…that’s pretty crazy, Frank. Those monkey fists are definitely an effective weapon in the right hands. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
@@Karatemart yup, although it saved my life, it didnt stop me needing a liver transplant. but yeah, i love a monkey fist, i have a few of them, im a bit fancy and have them colour matched to my different suits.
Wow Kyle! Really good and pertinent content in this video! When I had my shop, I used to make the kitty puncher for lady friends on my 3D printer. Never saw the shark bite key chain. Really cool! The thing about these is that you always have your key chain in your hand intentionally. These are very close range if you’re ever grabbed. I believe that there are stages of self defense weapons like the samurai had. When the big sword was disabled then one brought out the short sword and then the knife etc. I believe people today need to do the same thing. Pepper spray, if they keep coming use the knuckle weapons and if grabbed use the small stun gun. It is a scary time around the world and people need to think about that. Thanx again Brother!!!!
I completely agree John! I wish I could have said it that well in my video, but I really just try to record quickly without thinking too much. We just received a shipment yesterday of an item called “My Kitty” that is made in the USA. I wonder if it’s similar to what you made. I hope you have a great week brother and thank you for your continued support!
@@Karatemart hah! That’s funny! It was a Hello Kitty design that was more disguised in a way cause it had a nose and a smile. I got them off my 3D printer in tan and then painted them hot pink. The ladies loved them! btw....a 3D printer might be a really good tool for you guyz. You can make anything with these! REALLY cost effective! But the coolest thing is designing and making anything you can dream up! The pieces that come off the machine are really really tough! Take care Brother!!!!
@@johnemmons9087 that’s awesome John! I bet those were cool. I spent quite a bit of time looking at 3d printers a few years ago and they weren’t very cost effective for production, but great for prototyping. I’m heading to the Fabtech expo in about a month, so I’ll look at the new ones at that show and see how they are nowadays. Too bad you aren’t closer or you could help teach me some of this stuff.
That sounds very romantic, especially the stages of weapon usage as the “samurai” used - but in real life, you want to shock and awe the attacking foe.
nice demo! used to 'carry' a similar item to the Kubotan; the instructor called it a control stick--pretty effective but as in anything have to stay with it (continual training)
Sounds good man. When you get a chance, email our marketing department at social@karatemart.com. Make sure to give them links to your various social platforms as well as what you are thinking you’d like to promote. I know they typically send out brand new items that they are hoping to get product videos for.
Do not diss the plastic stuff. G10/fibreglass blades have a place. Hide such a blade in the pot plant at the front door. It does not rust. It does not set off any metal detectors. You can also turn the shark tool around and the tail can do damage on the downward stroke of your fist.
Love Weapons Wednesdays!! Thanks for covering so many options! Pretty intrigued by the monkey fist, though I’m not sure about our states slapjack laws 😐. Kyle, I came across a weapon that intrigued me yesterday… ever thought about reviewing the Army of One?
Thanks brother! I appreciate that! Yeah, the Army of One is awesome. I actually prototyped and invented it myself. Its actually gone through a ton of improvements over the years and is a really sweet weapon. It’s not a KarateMart product, but I may start doing videos for Kombativ as well soon.
I just ordered the Shar-Key from you, and I previously ordered the Monkey Fist Keychain that you offer. Once the Shar-Key arrives, it (and my keys) will be mated together into what will end up being like a pocket ball mace.
Another great video Kyle it’s a pity in the uk we can’t get hold of a lot of your self defence items as we seem to be plagued with sex assaults and attacks and I’m pretty sure a lot of women would love your items for their own safety so it’s a big thumbs up from here for your video and also you mentioned on a previous reply to me about positivity I bring it’s because mate your one of the only suppliers of your kind of items that will not only show things you don’t like but also not try to sell people any old tack just because you want rid of it so keep up the great videos mate
Make a Kubotan out of a decent hardwood and coat in epoxy clear resin ( not needed) and it is the most easiest close contact weapon! Excellent hammer fist strike tool. And shatters toughened glass.
Apparently we are not to use anything designed for defense to defend. Only "tools" that we may randomly have, 🤦♀️. So I decided to make my daughter a mokeyfist key fob.
I like how you keep mentioning “fitting in a pocket” when women’s pants don’t typically have pockets, I feel like a lot of these items that you’re showing off would be really great for women but not so much a man. Just my opinion
Me i have the dog plastic thats called Brutus. I have used it and it did surprise me the damage it did on that person, and Im a girl and not very strong just average.
SUGGESTION: * The "Cat Spike" key-chains should actually be marketed as "jewelry" worn around your neck with a very flimsy chain so you can grab it quickly by putting your fingers in the holes and "yanking" it off your neck and then used for defense. * Because we've labeled it as "jewelry" (because it looks like a cat), it's easier to explain to "you know who" if you're ever questioned! Amen Retired, Veteran
I wish it were that easy, Brad, but just like trying to market knuckle dusters as belt buckles, the authorities are wise to that. We just do our best to only sell them to places where they are legal, but because laws change constantly and the laws pertain to not only the State, but the County, City and Municipality as well, it’s nearly impossible to keep up with the laws. That’s why it’s important for people to check their local laws before purchasing anything. Thanks so much for your suggestion. I think hanging one on a necklace would make it very easy to utilize the self-defense keychain if necessary. Have an awesome weekend!
That can definitely happen. That’s why situational awareness and learning self-defense techniques in addition to carrying pepper spray is so important. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
Hi Darrian, the laws are different in every State, City and municipality. Please check your local laws to determine whether it is legal to carry in your area. Thank you so much for watching!
Since the pandemic began, it’s been very difficult to keep our swords in stock. I really like that specific sword, but we haven’t been able to get it for a while now. Hopefully soon. Thanks so much for watching!
Hi Steve! All of the items shown in my videos have links to the items in the video description. We have a few different types of monkey fists available at www.KarateMart.com. Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you Jayden! After testing it out, I actually have a lot of respect for it. I have to admit though, the one I found most intriguing after making this video was the monkey fist. I hope you have a great week man!
@@Karatemart yesssssss thanks so much! U have a great weekend to if you want to see the vid rn then search up ITZ SKEDADDLE. You will see ur self in the latest vid, hope u like it!

I have this
Awesome Lynda! Thanks so much for watching!
Nice video :-)
Would like to see the cat fist things used on a softer material however to see how it would perform on soft tissue.
Thanks Wil! I’ve tested them out in a few different videos. They hold up pretty nicely on all sorts of different materials.
Awesome, going to peruse now lol
A lot of these are illegal to use. Lol

Heh heh kubotan/monkey fist combo is funny combo
It's hard to find a good tutorial for the monkey fist, could you guys do a video on how to use it with different boxing/martial art combinations?
I may do a video on that at some point. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
I like how you keep mentioning “fitting in a pocket” when women’s pants don’t typically have pockets, I feel like a lot of these items that you’re showing off would be really great for women but not so much a man. Just my opinion
I feel like any of these items could be used by either sex and they would fit nicely in a purse as well. Thanks so much for watching!
I am absolutely crying! 😂 “I’m not sure about the power of the stun gun”, 5 seconds later, AWE GAWD DAMN!
Lol…yeah, sometimes those stun guns catch me off guard. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
ooohhh wow
Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
Me i have the dog plastic thats called Brutus. I have used it and it did surprise me the damage it did on that person, and Im a girl and not very strong just average.
They are definitely an effective self-defense tool. I’m glad you were able to protect yourself with it. Thanks so much for watching!

Quick note on pokey bits like on the cat...great until you sit down...!!! Then yowchie time!
a friend of a friend got attacked she even had pepper spray but the purp knocked it out of her hand
That can definitely happen. That’s why situational awareness and learning self-defense techniques in addition to carrying pepper spray is so important. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
with the personal alarm stun gun when you plug it in how do you know when its fully charged?
I’m not sure that it does anything to show that it’s fully charged. Just plug it in for a couple of hours and it should be good.
