Once you understand how to use it and the options you have to extract yourself from a bad situation, you will really understand the power of this small, unassuming self-defense tool.
The Defender 1 self-defense tool is a nonlethal option for your self-defense. It takes about 20 minutes to learn to use the basics and gives a better chance to fight off an attacker as it uses no strength to use.
We even trained, as a challenge, a 12-year-old girl whose father is an excellent military fighter, and she fought him off for over 30 minutes! It was something to really see!
The Defender 1 self-defense tool is also perfect for the elderly and limited-motion individuals. Master Brusso has been teaching many elders how to use this tool and with some great success stories! One person called the other day as almost mugged in his car by two teens.
When they approached the car and started demanding money, or else this older man pulled his defender out into his hand so they could see it, he said you would have to come to get what you want! They took a look a the Defender 1 and ran off, cursing at him; they didn’t know what it was but didn’t want to chance it.
The older man had confidence that showed he was not afraid of the attackers. So many times, it doesn’t have to be used but shown at the ready the bad guys decide not to risk it.
Another story came from the UK where a man purchased the starter kit that had the training DVD and Defender 1. He got it in the mail, opened it, put the defender 1 in his pocket, and then went out drinking.
Coming out of a pub late at night, he was approached by two guys to rob him. He pulled the defender 1 self-defense tool out of his pocket and held it in such a way as the handle went down his fingers; the bad guys looked at it and decided not to mug him as they didn’t know what it was. So much the better, I say if it gets you out of danger and you don’t have to use it, then perfect!
