Alex,
Could you provide more details? This sounds like a training worth attending. Who sponsered it, how long was it, cost and what was the basis of training; ie traditional Jujitsu, military, police, etc.

thank you for your reply the course cost £100 pounds $200 dollers in us money the course was 4 hours long and the basis of training was Military,Police,
and Licenced Security Personnel,
and Screened Civilians, are you going to the conference in Phoenix if so I can run you through the course as I am now a
certified Instructor of the course, thats if you are interested, if you are a Member of AWSDA there will be no charge as I believe we should share such training amoung ourselves, to make ourselves better prepared as we are Sheepdogs not Sheep

That course definitely sounds interesting. I would also be interested at the seminar in Nov. to meet with you and find out more. And since I live in Germany, maybe even make a trip to the UK when its offered again. Thanks for letting us know about it.

Sounds interesting. I’m curious as to if you offer demonstration with non-lethal weapons such as Pepper Spray, stun guns, etc. These are becoming more popular everyday. Many less physical have used them to fight off attacks.

i was wondering what type of weapons is legal in self defense like for instance if you have a baton is it legal in the state of AZ, and is it ok to use for self defense in AZ

I see no one answered you yet, and this is a bit late, but you would have to check the laws for AZ. Each state has a different requirement, and self defense can be interpreted differently. Laws and interpretations can be tricky. You have to check it out.

Hello, sorry it has been so long.
If you are referring to a “Stun Baton” you can view laws here www.securitysaint.com/laws–restrictions.html
As for a regular Baton NEW LAWS ARE IN EFFECT CONCERNING Self Defense….check with your local authorities for more info.
