Sturdy and from the comments with my law enforcement co-workers should be a great self defense tool -- very intimidating sound so would be a great deterrent to most "would be" assailants.  Well made and has a good feel -  will have to watch the switches as they can be clicked on/off maybe too easily.. but overall think it is a great product and great price.

I bought this book thinking it would help me defend myself in case of emergency. It does more than that! This little book teaches you how to block attacks, where to strike back and how to defend yourself in a knife attack. Savvy, smart and really honest, this book can help you avoid being raped or injured if you or a friend is being attacked.

Being attacked is a big threat, especially if your petite like me. After reading and practicing the moves in this book, I feel comfortable that I would know how to react in the case that I was attacked, even though I am on the smaller side.

Nothing compares to taking a real class, but this book will help in case of emergency.

The Basic Self-Defense Manual gets right down to teaching self-defense in a straight forward manner.  It provides help in dealing with common attacks through the use of a persons natural attributes namely the parts of the body.  These physical moves can be adopted to handle a number of different attacks.  Provided in the book are the basic principles of self-defense along with answers to common questions about self-defense.  The book teaches not only the positioning of your body for maximum efficiency in self-defense, but where to hit on your opponent to take the fight out of them.  The body as an instrument of defense is well explained with lessons on fighting stances, dodging, blocking, hand blows and kicks.  There is also an excellant section that teaches approaches to allow an escape from an act of aggression.  This is a coherent and well written book that should be of interest to anyone who wants to be better able to fend off an attack, so I highly recommend it.

David Kahn has done a masterful job of publishing an instructional guide that will allow anyone to easily become proficient in the Krav Maga self defense system. Having no prior martial arts training, the step by step instructions coupled with diagrams of each and every technique allowed me to quickly master the Krav Maga sytem of self defense. As a law enforcement officer I feel that the techniques that I have learned from this excellent instructional guide will allow me to overcome any physcial confrontation I should face on the street. For those interested in an easy to understand instructional guide to personal self defense, this book is a must.

Mr. Parks guidance in regard to young women taking basic precautions by constantly being aware of their surroundings and encouraging basic self-defense training is well timed. Campus violence against women has risen dramatically in recent years and so too must self-awareness and self-defense strategies rise. As a former karate instructor, I can attest that his Emergency Self Defense Tactics are solid techniques to fight back and reverse the victim role. He makes the point that only one woman who was attacked by serial killer Ted Bundy survived unscathed. She did so by fighting back. As Mr. Park suggests ladies, Channel your inner feline!  Overall, I thought this was a thought provoking instructive guide whose core message I am certain will benefit women on campus and women everywhere.

A Complete Guide to the use of Pepper Spray, Less-Lethal, and Improvised Weapons.

Realistic self-defense means being prepared for any situation, from a belligerent drunk to a ruthless serial killer. To do this, you need the right tools for the job - and the knowledge to use them effectively. In this unique video, renowned personal security expert KELLY McCANN presents a complete course in the use of less-lethal weapons - devices that can effectively incapacitate an attacker without having to resort to lethal force. McCANN begins by discussing common hand-held self-defense devices and teaches you how to determine the difference between a useless gimmick and true life-saving tool.

He reveals the secrets of improvised weaponry and shows you how to turn such common items as credit cards and ballpoint pens into powerful defensive weapons. Finally, he gives you a no-nonsense course in the realistic defensive use of pepper spray, including proper selection, carry, and deployment: street-proven tactical applications; and immediate backup plans for times when the spray alone isn't enough. This is one of the most eye-opening self-defense videos ever produced and a must for everyone concerned with practical self-defense.

I don't think you'll ever actually have to use this on anyone, the noise alone should scare them off! This is an inexpensive security device. If you don't want to carry a gun, this is the next best thing! Try to steal my purse now! Got one for me and 2 for my girls!

I give this 5 stars, however, I have yet to ops check it.  My wife runs with this and doesn't seem to mind- And that's the biggest plus.  Personal protection only works if the user actually has it on them

Excellent material. Takes a bit of understanding and work to adapt to a civilian environment but I think it is certainly worth the effort to add to your personal self-defense repertoire.

I found this DVD set very useful. The lessons are easy to follow and very effective.  Perfect for someone who has no martial arts training and a great teaching tool for those who do. This is well suited for women and teens. Great at any skill level. Professor Worden keeps things light during the instruction in these DVDs. Making it fun while learning alot of important tools for personal defense.  I highly recomend these DVDs to anyone wanting to protect themselves and family.

This is the best book I have ever read on security and personal defense. Quick, easy to read sections cover personal defense on the street, at work, the college campus and how to make your home safe.  This should be required reading for everyone!  Love the discussion about carrying less than lethal defense weapons.  As a CCW holder, I appreciated the discussion on less that lethal items such as pepper spray, ASP batons and knifes and the many ways we can protect our self and family without having to use a firearm in some situations.

Hope to never need to use it.  I did use one over a decade ago, and it saved me from a thug, gang-banger. Even the police said it was a good choice over other forms of self defense options.

Great Training aid I love Rhys's "Gentleman Warrior Self Defines System" I really liked "Gentleman Warrior Self Defense System Volume 1, Defense Against Guns, Knives, Bottles, Clubs and Unarmed Attacks", but I think this one is even better because Rhys goes into more detail in this volume, the techniques are easy to masters with close ups, narration, slow motion, various angles and step by step guides, his style is also very effective. Rhys also mentions in an interview that his style is based on various martial arts he studied in his life especially Kempo Karate that he was taught for over 10 years by a British police office (and British police do not use guns so rely a lot on there fighting skills) who is also his current grandmaster. Rhys also teaches various fighting grips of the tonfas and how to change between them fast and effectively during combat, plus how to use 2 tonfas as a pair and single tonfa against various street weapons and unarmed combat including knives, bottles, clubs, grabs, chokes, punches and kicks, I can't wait to get his next training DVD "Gentleman Warrior Self Defense System Volume 3, Kubotan and Torch for Realistic Street Self Defense".God Bless and stay safe (With this DVD you will).

I have had a life-long passion for the martial arts, (Judo, Jujitsu, Karate, Krav Maga, combatives, Defensive tactics etc), as well as self-defense weapons of all kinds including simple hand-held tools like the Persuader, Baton, Yawara stick, Short stick, Kubotan and this Defender 1 Personal Defense and Safety tool.

I was fortunate to have been one of the early users of this particular weapon. I had attended a seminar where this unique self-defense weapon was being taught.  I have also seen the DVD and worked with this tool for a short time.  I found it to be one of the most unique practical self-defense tools on the market today. I know it looks a little strange, but do not let that stop you from ordering this self-defense set of Defender and DVD.

 There is a lot to like about this self-defense tool.  (1) It is very light in weight and easy to carry in your pocket. (2) It is made out of hard plastic and is very durable.  (3) The techniques are simple to use and are highly effective. (4) You can use this tool to strike with but it is most effective when used as a pain compliance tool to break holds and grabs.  (5) It is reasonably priced. (6) The beauty of this self-defense tool is that it comes with a DVD showing how to use this weapon.

In conclusion, if you are seeking a highly effective and simple self-defense tool that you can easily carry with you at all times, you may want to check out this excellent product out. It is also highly recommended to seek out an instructor of the Defender 1 in order to have some hands-on training with this tool.
