A Combative Guide To The Use Of Improvised Weapons
Featuring Michael D. Janich

Most self-defense programs recognize the tremendous potential of improvised weapons as viable defensive tools. Unfortunately, much of what is taught concerning their use is either incomplete or misguided, untested theory. To really employ improvised weapons in personal defense, you need more than James Bond-style tricks; you need sound tactics, planning and preparation, environmental awareness, and a solid training methodology. Renowned personal-protection instructor Michael Janich presents just such a plan in FOREVER ARMED.
A complete mini-system, FOREVER ARMED presents three basic combative tactics that can turn almost any object that can be wielded with one hand into a potent defensive weapon. Concentrating on simple gross-motor-skill movements, Janichs system reveals how the physiological potential of these movements can generate both offensive and defensive tactics that can be used to defend against many common street attacks. In addition to the tactics themselves, Janich teaches a parallel series of reflex training or flow drills that not only accelerate the learning process, but also allow you to safely increase the intensity of your practice to simulate the adrenalized stress of a real street encounter.
In addition to one-handed weapons, FOREVER ARMED also presents straightforward, easy-to-learn tactics for the use of two-handed weapons and takes a critical look at improvised flexible weapons, projectile weapons, and shields. Janich also teaches you what to look for in a good improvised weapon and how to ensure you always have one available, even in weapon-free non-permissive environments. Along the way, he separates fact from fantasy and dispels the many myths of improvised weapon use.
Improvised doesnt mean that you dont need a plan. It means that you need a sound system of skills and tactics that you can use to transform ordinary objects into powerful defensive tools. FOREVER ARMED provides that system and deserves a prominent place in your training library.

I love this guys fighting style. It is simple with no special grabs or complicated moves. Just simply hit, block, or both. The blocked attack really said it all. No need for pressure points or special holds. Just hit the arm out of the way with your weapon.
One of the most important things to understand about self defense is that after you defend yourself you also have to stay out of jail. Lethal force has a threshold. Know where it is. You also don't want to drive your opponent over that threshold or if he's armed he can kill you with impunity. The philosophy of your art is essential to real world application.
It's great to see Stay Safe Media here on RUclips! The new DVD looks great! I will be ordering one soon.
Perfect video!!! Thanks for this, especially Michael Janich!
I've trained martial arts most of my life. Janich is the real deal.
Good stuff! I read Janich's article on Improvised Weapons in American Handgunner Annual. Since then I make sure I have a boxcutter, maglite (3 cell), crowbar and screwdriver in my vehicle at all times.
I really enjoy the straight forward approach here. As a martial artist myself I train to understand the basics of any potential weapon when thinking self defense. This is a great video demonstrating such thought. Great work gentlemen, keep it up! God bless!
Twenty stars out five. Excellent production and quality in the techniques. I'm very impressed. Highly recommended
Finally someone that has the right idea conserning improvised weapons, to much missinformation on youtube in general but this was good.
Keep it up, I'll subscribe.
I just purchased one of his DVDs on unarmed combatives....Great stuff!
Great stuff Michael..keep it practical!
A lot of good, practical advice.
Good teaching , keep up the good work👍
Flexible weapons fits my wanted description. Not only is it fast and has good impact at the end, you can use the rope/chain to disable your attacker's movement or the ability to fight back.
Really enjoy your video and learned from it. Thanks. I invented robot punch arms that punch at real speeds and can be struck at for real time practice. My reaction times are MUCH better now. A kubatan type weapon is a huge advantage in self defense. I disagree with open hand blocking and striking though, it is way to easy to sprain fingers and wrists. You can have a kubatan in both hands fast. Always block with a kubatan because it not only blocks, it destroys their whole arm area.
It will help us to defend ourselves with any objects we have at home.
THATS MY SPOT!
@scopeophile BTW- so there can be no doubt.... the classes in question were 'traditional' MAs... and yes we went through the whole stupid motion of pointless Kata, dubious ways of improving striking techniques and having some half-assed self defence techniques lumped on in the last half hour.... many of which were flawed to the point of them being potential causes for serious injury to the user.
And to underline again - I think this guy's approach to the SD thing is VERY good.
Good video!
good stuff!
at last i found a good nice video fo yours!
This is very informative. Thank you. But what do you do when you are riveted to the spot with fear?
This happened to me not so long ago. I found myself in a rapidly escalating confrontation. I had the shaking hands, the dry mouth, the whole bit.
Now, some guys would be itching to get in there and start swinging.
I would like to be somewhere in between.
How do I get there?
This guy is for REAL.
It's weird, but I constantly look at objects and determine their use as a weapon first before looking at any of their other functions.
This is the reason why I don't just carry a firearm for my EDC load-out. I ALWAYS carry a knife and a flashlight. Best to have other options available because not EVERY contact justifies lethal force.
A knife is most certainly lethal force
Practice with throwing loose change, using your belt, jacket, sweater and kicks to the legs. People freeze up you need to practice it once a week or even think about. Act as if, or what if this happened.
MJ looks like banker but he sure can kick ass!! Thanks for the upload!
Conditioning is great but it can only do so much. Where you're striking and what happens in between that striking, can or can not go according to plans since we only know about us and what we are going to do, and we don't know them.
@5:34 Epic slow motion plastic bottle. made me lol
ive found mini mag lights work very well as palm sticks
i saw this guy on time warp. he is damn good with a throwing knife (or a screwdriver)
@sierpinski8997 (continued) I really like the fact that my instructor teaches both, karate and "self defense", so I get a lot out of my training.
5:53 demopan!!
@sierpinski8997 TBH, the main reason why I admire this guy's standpoint on the whole SD thing... is that for once, someone has acknowledged the difference between MA & SD.... As for blame, it's a two way street in any school.
After all accepted wisdom is pretty much as bigger a contradiction in terms you can hope to find
i don't hate guns. I have a lot of them. It is smart to know more than how to shoot because there are situations where you won't have a gun on you.
without doing anything to your arm. it just depends on your conditioning and more importantly were youre striking with your fingers
Its entertaining.
surefire only
Don't mess with Mike!
slow motion groin shot FTW @ 4:37
Bar none best take down ever at 26 seconds
Well, there's truth to what you're saying. But I think a combination of both - flow drills and full contact as well. You have to consider your student's backgrounds and abilities. If they have little to no full contact experience to work from, they will be completely overwhelmed during the full contact drills. They will become discouraged and leave you. Better to build them up slowly. That's my two cents.
So basically the point of this video is... "if you can hold it look at it and see if you could swing it so that somebody would go 'ow'...." Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
NO this is myy spot!!
lol the bit at the start fuckin pwnd the guy against the car
@scopeophile Blame the trainer, blame the school, maybe even blame the student (not necessarily in your case, but for some that's true). Don't blame the art or the entire organization. One bad situation, person, trainer, instructor doesn't mean they are all worthless and a waste of time. I should have mentioned that in my first post though, but I do agree that a bad experience would put a bad taste in your mouth.
Not that weird, mate. Just sounds like you put a higher importance on personal security.
LOL @ the intro... That cracked me up lmmfao
Good material and Janich makes excellent sense as usual... but I can't help but to lmao when they bring out the brushes. X-D
...the ..pan is mightier than the sword
XD
I guess it didn’t quite panned out for him. XD
Pen*
Tangled🍳
really? i do that all the time and always wonder am i crazy or do people do that
Everybody gangster till it happens in real life...
Im using this advice to larp
This won't work in real street fights you know the trajectory of your buddies swing in a street fight I don't think you could act fast enough to slap the outside of your opponents arm it's more effective to block the inside of a strike but idk I've only been street fighting since the 80's
Anyone else feel a little sorry for Vince?
@blacksuite1 know this is an old post but..in the 80s i went to the mall with my mom as a teen .and we found a close parking spot at the same time as two black guys saw the same spot. we got there first ..they fallowed us in the mall threatening us under there breath..they disappeared in the mall ..when we got back to our car, the windows were all broken..trust me its not funny
but what will hapen when you are attacked from behind and don't have the enough time to reach your gun? You know, even cops practice this for a reason..
I've been hit in the ribs with a frying pan before. That shit hurts.
BROOM BATTLE.
Blue jeans and a black polo, real men.
@clickclick21 So what should you do then? Cower down and hope they take mercy on you? No, your wallet is not worth your life--but no one said to use these skills in every situation. And, ideally, you should have some weapons of your own and know how to use them. People don't only get hurt in robberies, and they're not always content with your money either. Not everyone is a kung-fu master. These are solid, simple techniques that will at least give you a fighting chance.
All I have to say on this is: ABOUT GOD DAMN TIME!... Let's rid our minds of this silly esoteric shit, doing pointless Kata and 'forms' that serve no practical purpose... Thins is the 2nd video I've seem of his and I must say I like the approach... no fantasy ninja bullshit, no 'if X happens - do Y and Z will be the response'... his outlining of the edged weapon threat is still a sobering view for would be ninja out there.... excellent work!
haha it looked like he got hurt when he hit him with the bottle espescially in slow motion
Yes weapons can do 1000 times the damage of blunt human teeth, blunt bony fists or legs. Stab with a weapon, pound with a weapon, slice with a weapon. You get my meaning.
you need louder audio!
@sierpinski8997 I should also mention that I don't honestly believe that true martial arts (at least as most schools teach today) is really self defense. It teaches discipline, confidence, respect, and a few other good attributes, but you're really not going to do a spinning back kick or a "chest block" on the street fighting a thug. Maybe that was true a couple hundred years ago when all "warriors" used it or whatever, but today's bad guys aren't.
Improvised weapons for women 5:30 and onwards
@ 2:51... Patti-cake on steroids? lulz
If your going to practice flow drills then do it with intent not as patty cake
a frying pan haha cool video
The moral of the story is, if someone steals your parking spot, kick them in the balls FIRST before telling them
lol me too
@sierpinski8997 You did actually read and understand to POV of the post you refer to didn't you.... you didn't just skim a few words and then write some stuff and press send...did you? Pretty sure a literate and eloquent person such as yourself wouldn't do such a idiotic thing as that.... surely?
BTW - you guessed wrong, on several counts.... have had bitter experience of getting what I now know was flawed training, pretty useless for SD.
Classes like that - I left for that reason.
StaySafeMedia,
Its all well and good teaching people to use an improvised weapon, But I think you need a bit of reality training first, teach them how to defend against a weapon hands only, or all your going to do is get them relying on the weapon to protect them, good combat skills against weapons is all they need.
I can do more damage to a person that has a weapon with my hands, AND I can justify it in court, If I have a weapon and do the same damage its not as easy to justify, all this weapons training is good as well if you know what your doing, unfortunately reality is a bitch, its nice to have a training buddy that goes with the flow, you blue print moves, and practice every day, and then you end up in a real situation, you try using what you have been trained to do, and you get your ass handed to you, Why...?
Because the hand to hand training you have been learning didn't prepare you for reality. Combat Hand To Hand, against weapons does work, if you are trained the right way, (sorry to say this but) you are not teaching what will work in a reality situation.
Mitsubishi
Blind your attacker by throwing shit (Dirt, rocks, coins, a glass) whatever improvised weapon you can find at their face, close the distance and use this.
Pocket sand!
Metsubushi
lmao @ head vs car
Knock someone out. then. tell him to back off. :D That's bad ass
FMA as fuck
HAHA a frying pan
haha, bdfhuWGFINTOIHESUICGFAYZSWGF V....back off! seriously, da fuq bro? this is my spot!
LOL ppl would do anything 4 a good parking spot
Nobody buy this, join a jiu jitsu gym for reality
Sorry, very poor. The example of the frying pan at the end, says it all: first blow and the thing is going to snap where the handle meets the pan. Good luck with this level of "techniques" in the street.
Ever seen a cast iron pan
it's gay use your 9mm berreta m9
