Editorial Reviews

The collapsible baton is one of the most effective yet least understood personal defense weapons ever developed. Although it is carried by security professionals and law enforcement personnel worldwide, few training programs take full advantage of its awesome close-combat potential. Personal protection expert Kelly McCann has been carrying and using tactical batons for years while working in some of the world's scariest places. McCann reveals the finer points of carrying, drawing and deploying your baton so you can get it into action when you need it. He then shows you how to put it into action with a complete course in the blocks, strikes, levers, takedowns and even baton groundfighting tactics that have been proven to work in countless real-world situations. This DVD is sure to revolutionize your tactical baton tactics

This review is from: COLLAPSIBLE BATON TACTICS - A Hardcore Guide to the Combative Use of the Tactical Baton (DVD)

the original copy of this dvd is about $80.00. This appears to be a burned copy which I paid $40 for. I have no complaints about getting it for half, but this does not seem to be a legitimate copy. Kelly McCann is awesome and all of his products are extremely informative. Recommend the products but not this seller.

This review is from: COLLAPSIBLE BATON TACTICS - A Hardcore Guide to the Combative Use of the Tactical Baton (DVD)

This two VHF video set is one of the very best on the use of the expandable(Collapsible)baton for self-defense on the street. As a retired police officer and defensive tactics instructor, I found this video set very interesting and informative. The McCann approach is based upon his Combatives for the street method rather than any formal law enforcement baton system. That does not take away from the value of this excellent video.

He covers the basics such as how to select the right baton, methods to carry, drawing the baton, blocks, strikes, takedowns and ground fighting with a baton. In conclusion, this is a fantastic video set for anyone interested in using a straight baton (no matter what kind) for practical self-defense and control on the street.

Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Use of the Monadnock Straight Baton(MEB).

This review is from: COLLAPSIBLE BATON TACTICS - A Hardcore Guide to the Combative Use of the Tactical Baton (DVD)

I found this product to be in perfect condition when I received it. I thought there were to be two dvds but I guess not. Most martial artists and self defense practitioners choose one or two weapons they want to perfect. I have chosen the callapsable baton based on its effectiveness and concealment properties. This dvd is excellent for law enforcement or security personnel who want a beginner's insight to this very useful weapon. Kelly McCann, in my opinion, is the premier self defense instructor out there. The sad thing is it seems he only wants to train military, law enforcement, private security industries so good luck finding a seminar for us average folks! But to his defense in that area...he is an all business type of guy and most of the ya hoos who show up at your local hotel seminar would spend more time asking questions and wasting his time on non-subject matter than just listening and comprehending what the great man is saying. Do what you do Jim, I mean Kelly and I'll keep buying and training what I can from you.
