Easy rule with weapons is, blunt force weapons like tac pens you strike the bony parts of the body. Like skull, ribs, hands, etc. For edged weapons you strike fleshy parts of the body.
Quite ridiculously this is the only thing people in the UK can legally carry for self defence even then we can only use it for pain compliance which doesn't always work well at least we are allowed something even if it is a little metal pen.
Still better than that rape alarm bullshit, I really cringed when I first heard of that presented as a "defence" option. I love how officers and people in general come up with these pretend facts like "you'll be safer if you don't have a weapon", "you're more likely to be stabbed with your own knife" etc etc. Well then if that's true, I guess the police and the military don't need weapons then. Just kind words and a rape alarm and they're sorted! :P
I can see benefits in holding it so both ends protrude the clenched fist, especially if both ends are tactical. But the pens I’m considering are all one ended so need to modify the use and have it in the clenched fist with the thumb over the other end to stop it slipping through. At the moment I’m looking at the CRKT or the Tactile Turn. The later is likely the only one I could legally carry, it’s basically just a strong bolt action pen.
You can buy decent ones for about 12 bucks. Better to have a few. I had a group of 20 somethings bum rush me in a dark deserted parking lot as I was returning to my hotel. Only did it as a joke, I guess, I was unharmed, but even though I've been in fights, ex military and boxed a bit, at 57 with I group, I'm likely going down and whether you survive that is up to them. That realization shook me up and spurred me to finally buy one of these. Carrying a pistol or knife isn't possible or practical as I fly a lot.
Great comment. Thank you Eddie, for sharing your experience and perspective on self-defense with tactical pens. You brought up some very good points. Stay safe out there and we're glad that you're okay from that hotel encounter.
I purchased a tactical pen through Amazon. It will arrive tomorrow, so I wanted to watch a few videos on how to use it. I already own a kubotan. The method of use is very similar, apparently.
Just get a tactical pen off of wish. It's the same exact thing all these other companies are charging over $20 bucks for. Mine does wonders. I got 10 of them for $14, bucks on wish. It was only $14 because of shipping. Well worth the money. Great video though, I enjoyed it
If you know how to use the tactical pen you can use it to put an attacker into the hospital or the coffin. Its pretty simple to use and very effective.
Most likely they're squared up to you at that point so kick to the groin would work. When they start turning to the side to protect their center line you can try for a leg sweep or push kick their knees off from the side. You can always headbutt as well while this is happening. And if they seem distracted enough with all of these other things you are doing, then you can try pulling your hands free again.

Good point Dominik ;)
That's all you get? I usually carry a Glock 23 in the US. I guess the pen is better than harsh language.
Who says it has to be just for pain compliance? It all depends on the threat of the situation. It's all about justification.

Great video! I just bought one and your instructions are easy to follow and understand. Thanks!
Someone attacks me, that pen is going glass breaker tip to the skull... no question.
Would you incapacitate or kill your attacker ?
Thank you

Cool, thanks Kenneth for watching! How are you liking your tactical pen?

That shits good for 12 bucks and Ops won't tell it's a knife unless they look at it close
Get it on Aliexpress . You´ll pay 3+ $ for it. Search for tactical pen.
Thanks for the video I made a really nice with a chisel but the 6-inch lag right in goes from the base to the tip
Thanks for watching ;)
even in uk this could be deadly ie stab in eye, ear, jugular etc. Use with care😀
That is some Jason Bourne shit
lol.. Good one ;)
Nice one.
Wow, i carry springfield xds 45acp... And a kabar everyday....
❤tactical pens are Legit EDC self defence implement
Great tactick, youcan do this with other weapons as well like knives
Yes, but these self-defense techniques would have to be used in life threatening situations only. Stay safe.
CodeRedDefense.com i fully agree
Depending on where you live, knives can get you into a heap of trouble with the law.
or with just regular pen lol

Great question Tolete, here's a video that answers this: ua-cam.com/video/OhM_k1P794A/v-deo.html Cheers.
@@jaskeyKnee to the balls until he squeals like a dying chipmunk.
Use your fist or your thumb. They're both free and you won't risk getting in trouble with the law for using a weapon.
I’m going to get a steel rod implanted into my thumb 😂
You should do trt therapy to increase testosterone it helps in fighting
Thanks for the suggestion. Stay safe
