Finish It With A Stick

"Speak softly and carry a big stick". Many have heard this quote from former president Teddy Roosevelt. On the street, carrying a big stick is not enough. You must know how and have the will to use that big stick. This training manual will teach you how to use a stick. In Combative Martial Arts (CMA) weapons are divided into four categories: blunt, edged/pointed, flexible and projectile. The purpose of this training manual is to provide you with information on how to finish off an attacker when you are armed with a stick. Every self-defense practitioner must be familiar with streetwise weapons. While traditional weapons such as the sword or nunchakus may be interesting, it is highly unlikely that you will actually use them in an attack. The weapons of modern society include sticks, knives, chains and guns. These are the weapons that today's martial artist must become proficient in.
