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. In this explosive two-tape Paladin production, he shares his hard-won personal experience and teaches you how to make the most of this dynamic weapon. McCann first gives you a no-holds-barred look at the various types of batons and teaches you how to select one you can bet your life on. He then reveals the finer points of carrying, drawing and deploying your baton so you can get it into action when you need it. Finally, he 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. Whether you are a security professional or armed citizen, these videos are sure to revolutionize your tactical baton tactics and will give you an even greater appreciation for this amazing weapon.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic guide to use the expandable baton for self-defense on the street., August 24, 2009

This review is from: Collapsible Baton Tactics: A Hardcore Guide To The Combative Use Of The Tactical Baton [VHS] (VHS Tape)

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)).
