Here's a quick video of me working a combination with a Black Jack Billy Club from SDTS Module 11 in the Elite Training Program....
Empty hand techniques are the LOWEST level of self defense and are actually a last resort. In order to protect yourself and your loved ones to the best of your ability - you should be prepared and ARM yourself when ever possible. That being said - if you carry a weapon - you better practice with it. No one would ever go into battle with an untested weapon.
In the Elite Program we show you how to use, conceal (and practice) dozens of concealed, close combat weapons including the Black Jack, Straight Razor, Truncheon, Garrote, Brass Knuckles, Fist Packs, Spring Kosh and a plethora of other impact and edged weapons (even axe handles).
Little different than the black jacks I used to see in the old days. And the restriction of use was one of the first “Restricting Law Enforcement” attempts pulled off by leftists in the 60s. Sadly I was oblivious to the Socialist undercurrent of these things back then. And I have watched as some states took effective tools from LEOs while also passing laws that restricted the citizen from defending themselves. In fact same states also restrict the use of any tool that can be used for self defense, this Black Jack, Mace, Pepper Spray. All non lethal and effective.
Yeah, they come in different shapes and sizes (2 bandanas and a fishing weight work great too).
Where can I get one?
Hey Charles.
Try ordering one online ebay, amazon etc.

Use to work great back in the day
Still work great now :)
I still have my blackjack and if you remember we use to use the Sap Gloves filled with steel balls,they work great,you punch someone with them on,their not going to get back up
Watch Module 11 :)
Are they legal in Wisconsin?
The first two strikes took out the enemy by breaking the collar bone on both sides. After the 3rd and strike to the face the enemy is really no more. And should you find yourself on the ground these little bad boys take the knees and ankles out real good!
For sure — people really underestimate the power of the blackjack. Even a strike to a “non-lethal” or knock out target area will cause EXTREME pain.
Fast strike weapon (horse crop) is define in this arena too.
Fantastic!
One thing I’d add, for those worried about carrying things which can only be viewed as weapons by the police or other people, is that you can go to Home Depot and get a variety of devastating tools which aren’t primarily identified as weapons.
I don’t carry any weapons. But I have lots of tools. Home Depot is by far my favorite “tactical” supply shop.
Plausible deniability. Is helpful.
An obvious weapon may be interpreted as ill intent.
But does anyone want a metal pen through their eyeball or throat or temple? Probably not.
I like the full tang 8oz ball pein hammer from Eastwing. Little did they know what a great “tactical” arms company they would become.
You can move it as fast as a knife. It’s going to crush whatever it hits.
Blunt force trauma is king. Knives may not have instant results. Blunt force trauma produces immediate results.
How about a padlock for brass knuckles? The list is endless.
My main “EDC” is a Leatherman multi tool. Incredibly useful for anything. But also a highly unpleasant weapon if need be. Maybe I’ll use the wood saw on your throat this time. Oops, it went into your eye instead.
I personally avoid anything that’s obviously a weapon or which involves the word “tactical”, a concept which I find farcical.
Tactical is for guys who want to look bad ass. Tools are for guys who intend to use them.
Never forget that the whole point is to brutally destroy some evil sack of shit if necessary.
So things that aren’t obviously weapons also don’t telegraph your intent to the enemy as quickly.
Very good thoughts, Paul. That’s what I think as well. Thank you for sharing.
And by the way, such “tools” often cost less money than sophisticated “tactical” stuff.
