Training yourself to become a better fighter doesn’t necessarily mean that every weekend you are encourage to frequent sports pubs and engage in physical altercations. In fact, becoming involved with close combat training can effectively enhance your ability to defend yourself in those unexpected situations.
I think we all understand which situations I’m speaking; the one where you’re simply minding your own business on a street corner when somebody approaches you with demeaning words and unwarranted anger – this is where learning how to defend yourself physically can come in quite handy, because it’s almost certain that this person advanced with the intention to fight.
In short, MMA or mixed martial arts is defined as a full contact combat sport, and it permits a large variety of fighting methods, including those of tradition and non-tradition. This means that grabbling, as well as striking, is allowed. Most fights actually end in a grapple, followed by a submission move (i.e. arm bar). Congruently, this is why learning mixed martial arts for self defense is so beneficial. It’s true that most physical altercations, whether they are during after hours at a town bar or in the parking lot outside of a gym, almost always end up on the ground in a furious jostle for position.
But if you truly want to subdue your attacker, you must learn the various styles and techniques of handling your opponent while you’re both on the ground. A takedown is typically followed by the most common hybrid of “ground and pound,” where you have your foe on his back while sitting on top of him throwing devastating punches. But MMA ground fighting isn’t always defined by clinching mixed with knees, elbows and punches to the face. In fact, it’s what’s known as “submission grappling” that gives note to a well rounded MMA fighter. When I say submission grabbling, I mean putting your adversary in a chokehold and/or any of the following:
• Joint locks
• Armlocks
• Leglocks
• Clinch holds
• Compression locks
• Pain compliance
• Pinning
There are a few intricate others, including the “Grapevine”, but these are the top categories that define submission holds. These are a part of many different disciplines including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Catch Wrestling, Judo, Sambo, Shootwrestling, Pankration and more.
Let’s not forget one of the most important elements and differentiators to boxing; kickboxing/Muay Thai. Certain MMA fighters specialize in areas like kickboxing provided they’re strongest in that area. The same goes for clinching and ground and pound – fighters will determine their strong areas during practice and routine, effectively mastering their most powerful kick and/or submission move. This is evident while viewing any MMA fight. You’ll notice that some MMA fighters almost always strike at the hips, venturing into a takedown and eventually ending the fight in submission while others enjoy staying on their feet and throwing lots of punches.
Nevertheless, all of these traditional styles and disciplines mixed with a combination of modern or non-tradition styles envelope what we commonly refer to as Mixed Martial Arts today. The sport is growing in popularity. Congruently, more people are taking an interest into learning some of these self defense techniques. Not only does engaging in such activity come with the ability to defend, but it naturally enhances fitness.

Your free guide to Pepper Spray and How to Use It.
A must read for anyone who is thinking about buying or who carries Pepper Spray with them.
And You’ll find a Discount Code in the back for great saving on your next purchase of Pepper Spray.
Paul Watson, the president of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, captain of the Sea Shepherd and star of the Animal Planet’s Whale Wars TV series is not afraid to mix it up. He’s famous for trying to stop the Japanese killing of whales. He’s constantly putting himself in danger.
Back in 1995 when Watson was protesting the Canadian seal hunt he was attacked by 30 drunken sealers who kicked in his hotel room door.
“They were all standing there ready to attack me and all I could think of was: ‘I’m not going to give in to these guys.’ One of them came at me and punched me in the side of the head, so I took him down with a stun gun. Another came in from the other side and I took him out. That confused them so much that the police were able to get in and get them off me.”
Where pepper spray can be bought is dependent on each individual state’s laws. You can most commonly find pepper spray in hardware stores and stores that have a permit to sell firearms. In some towns, you can buy them at firing ranges. If your reading this, you are obviously comfortable shopping online, and PPS-Safety.com is Just one of the top sellers.
Before you buy pepper spray, you should review the laws in your state to make sure that you’re legal. Though it is legal in all 50 states to carry pepper spray, here are some states’ laws that you should be aware of:
“•Massachusetts - you must have a Firearms Identification Card (FID) to possess and/or use pepper spray
•Michigan - specific pepper or tear gas formulations are required ( see some samples of Michigan-approved sprays)
•New York - pepper spray must be purchased from a New York state licensed firearm dealer or pharmacist
•Wisconsin - state formulations do not allow UV dye in pepper spray ”
In some states, included but not limited to, Hawaii, Illinois, Nevada, and Alaska you have to be 18 or older to possess pepper spray. Some states have restrictions on the amount of pepper spray you can have on your person, as well as some states have restrictions on the form of pepper spray you can have.
Before buying pepper spray, make sure that you do your research. Once you buy it, practice to make sure that you know what you’re doing so you’re safe when you use it!

Summer is here and we all want to go for a walk…
You must be cautious when your out and about. Not only are there predetors of the two legged variety, but also of the four legged variety as well. Yes, I’m talking about Dogs, Canines (K9), or Coyotes. More and more, I have people calling and asking what I can recommend for aggressive dogs or coyotes that are roming their neighborhoods. A good pepper spray is all you really need. Most brands of Animal Repellent Sprays are the same potentcy as pepper spray that you would use on a human criminal, but it has been approved by the EPA for use in the enviroment. Just spray alittle in the air, upwind of the animal and they will get a good wiff of if. If they decide to continue to advance, spray them directly in the face, in the same manner that you would a human. This is definately enough to stop the most aggressive animals. You can alternativly use your Animal Spray on a human attacker just as you could use your normal pepper spray against an animal.
Remember, think safety while your out walking. There are more than just one type of threat you might encounter.
TASER is discontinuing some of its models. That includes the M-18 and M-18L . We’ve spoken to TASER and we trying to work out a deal where we will have access to the the M-18 and M-18L for the next year or so. They have parts available to make enough to last over a year, they’re just not going to be making anymore parts in the future. So, we will have the M-18 and M-18L for a little more more than a year, and then they will be gone. Get yours now if you’ve been stewing on it. TASER is a great product!
This quote challenges some assumptions.
Is your life worth protecting? If so, whose responsibility is it to protect it? If you believe that it is the police’s, not only are you wrong — since the courts universally rule that they have no legal obligation to do so — but you face some difficult moral quandaries. How can you rightfully ask another human being to risk his life to protect yours, when you will assume no responsibility yourself? Because that is his job and we pay him to do it? Because your life is of incalculable value, but his is only worth the $30,000 salary we pay him? If you believe it reprehensible to possess the means and will to use lethal force to repel a criminal assault, how can you call upon another to do so for you?
Mace is now a registered brand name for a company that sells pepper spray. When Mace (legally known as Mace Security International) was first developed, it consisted of CS and CN gases that the military used. They have since change the types of sprays that they carry and include a regular pepper spray and a product with pepper spray and some CS and CN mixed in. This is primarily due to the fact that CS and CN are irritants and pepper spray is an inflammatory.
What that means to you is, as an irritant, CS and CN can take longer to enter the pores and start working. CS and CN can also have their effects “washed”, by removing the irritant from your skin, you loose the effect. Also, people have different levels of pain management. So what might irritate one person dramatically, may not effect another as severely. This can lead to different effects from your spray, and possibly not disabling an attacker.
OC Pepper spray is an inflammatory agent which enters the pores and causes an inflammation of the tissue. It can’t be “washed” once is enters the pores, as an irritant can, which allows it to continue to work. When an individual has an inflammation of mucus tissue, they get the “feeling” of suffocation along with the burning of the pepper. There is no pain management involved.
Some brands (Sabre and Mace ) have many different products in their sales line. They carry products that only contain pepper spray and also some that use a bit of CS and CN in them to get a more volatile mix. Some also ad dye to identify an attacker later.
The delivery method will dictate the speed in which an spray works. The finer the particles, the faster it enters the pores. This is a double edged sword. A stream has a longer effective reach but takes longer to work, a fogger is finer and works faster, but will not travel as far and can be effected by the softest breeze (in a house this is best to just spray into the hallway and stop any movement down the hall). Some companies even produce a “foam” spray that is difficult to wipe away and results in the pepper being ground into the pores of the skin. These types of sprays are very effective in a windy environment or possibly in a store or office area where you would not want to risk spraying a bystander.
Many animal sprays (Bear and Dog/K9) have slight differences in the mixture, but are basically the same ingredients as pepper sprays, they just have the requirement of being certified by the EPA as safe for the environment.
Remember that when using anything for self defense, other than items that are designed for self defense, you may have to defend yourself in court at to why you chose that particular item. If it is an item that you KNOW might kill or maim, you may be held negligent by a jury of your peers. Pepper Sprays have consistently been approved for non-lethal self defense.

There have been an increasing number of recent sightings in my neighborhood and community, of coyotes of all things. With the longer days and extended sunlight hours, wild animals of all types will become more and more visible to the community as they search for food and water. Just walking your dog, or walking for exercise, has become an event that you should maintain a higher situational awareness for. And specifically for coyotes. Coyotes have been known to attack and kill small dogs and cats as well as stalking the occasional child. It would be a good idea to keep your garbage can lids on tight as well, in an attempt to deter them from entering your property.
Carrying a good defense spray is never a bad idea. You can carry a specific K9 repellent or a common pepper spray will work just as well. If an animal approaches you, try to maneuver so the you are upwind of the breeze (most animals will approach from downwind anyway). Then simply spray your product into the air in front them, letting it drift toward them or allowing them to walk into it. You don’t even have to hit them in the face. With their sensitive nose, they will detect the spray far enough away and most likely move away. If for some reason this tactic does not deter them and they continue to approach, then spraying them directly in the face, as you would a human, will definitely put a stop to their aggression.
Most people do not realize that pepper spray and K9 spray are primarily the same product. The K9 spray must be EPA approved to be environmentally safe in order to carry the label of K9 spray. Either will do the trick when it comes to deterring man or beast.
Security Equipment Corporation joins the fight against breast cancer via
a donation made on the sale of every PINK (HC-NBCF-01) pepper spray..
Every two (2) minutes, a woman in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer.
There are over two million (2,000,000) women living in America with breast cancer and
approximately one (1) in every eight (8) women will develop breast cancer within their
lifetime. According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer has now become the
most frequently diagnosed cancer in women.
The NBCF Mission “is to save lives by increasing awareness of breast cancer through
education and by providing mammograms for those in need”. The NBCF provided
more than 22,000 free mammograms for underinsured women in America in 2006, and
the Foundation also supports cancer research, primarily through a relationship with the University of Texas
M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX, and research programs at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, OH.
Unfortunately, nearly every American household has been affected by cancer and similar to most families, Security
Equipment Corporation (SEC), a family owned and operated business, has had several members diagnosed with
cancer. SEC’s President and founder, Larry D. Nance, has been a patient of the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Fully
realizing the seriousness of this disease, SEC was pleased to learn about the National Breast Cancer Foundation’s
(NBCF) efforts to fight breast cancer and support cancer research. SEC is proud to announce it has joined the NBCF
in the fight against breast cancer.
Beginning January 1, 2008, SEC will make a donation to the NBCF on the sale of each
SABRE RED, Pink, Key Chainpepper spray (HC-NBCF-01). SEC’s compact and most popular key chain pepper spray is equipped with a quick
release key ring and deploys up to 25 shots at a 10 foot range. David Nance, SEC Vice President, said, “We are very
happy and proud to support the NBCF and its fight against breast cancer. Fortunately, the NBCF chose our most
practical and popular SABRE product which maximizes SEC’s ability to support this excellent charity and cause”.
This partnership enables consumers throughout the United States to support an excellent charity while equipping
themselves or a loved one with the increased safety provided by SABRE RED pepper spray. Look for the new pink
packaging shown above at one of thousands of retailers within the US beginning in 2008 and join the fight against
both cancer and crime.
Since 1975, Security Equipment Corporation has produced the most effective line of defense spray products.
Branded as SABRE, SABRE RED and FRONTIERSMAN, customers are offered the finest defense spray possible with
one thought in mind: When a life is at stake, our products must be effective.
1. Be Alert!
Keep your head up and be aware of your surroundings. Criminals look for individuals that are not paying attention and that they can sneak up on easily and take by surprise. By staying alert you also give yourself more time to react if someone does approach.
2. Vary Your Routines
Predictability makes you a more likely target. Drive or walk different ways to work.
3. Lock It!
Home, car, office - locks are your first line of defense. Think about putting up signs that show your have a security system. Criminals are looking for an easy hit, they may pass you buy if they think an alarm will sound.
4. Make Your Home A Tough Target
Use floodlights, motion sensors, a security system, deadbolts, Security signs, etc.
5. Foil Car-jackers
Keep windows/doors locked, check mirrors and blind spot when stopped. Stay one to one and a half lengths away from the car ahead of you. Sound your horn and flash your lights if you think you’re being approached by a car-jacker. Keep a self defense spray handy and available, like on your visor (out of the sun).
6. Avoid Car Theft
Lock it!
Use an anti-theft device.
Turn the wheels when you park.
Never leave a spare key inside the car.
Park in a well-lighted place.
Keep all valuables out of site.
Put packages in the trunk.
7. Be Creative
Think of unusual ways to protect yourself and your valuables. A personal motion alarm is great to add to your bags or bikes.
8. Be Informed
Learn the crime trends in your area and work to protect yourself against them. You can find most of these in the local newspaper or on your counties web-sites.
9. Get Involved
Have your joined or organized a Neighborhood Watch? Most criminals will try to “scout out” their intended neighborhood. Alert neighbors will almost always see them and “shoo” them away or call the Police.
10. Don’t Give Up!
Crime can be reduced - with action, not apathy!
Pepper spray and pepper spray products are remarkably useful for a full range of purposes. Whether you’re looking for self-defense or a way to ensure your safety while engaging in outdoor exercise, pepper spray is an excellent product. There are many tales of endurance athletes encountering dangerous animals in the wilderness. One goes so far as to say that during a very long foot race through one of the western states a runner was attacked and killed by a mountain lion!Oh, if only he had pepper spray! Light weight and convenient, it never ceases to amaze me that something that costs less than fifteen dollars can save your life. For bear hunters or just hunters in general you never know when you might encounter a defiant or highly-territorial animal and with a can of pepper spray you can deliver a non-lethal dose to an attacking animal. Useful stuff in so many cases!
I got a couple of your pepper spray products for my friends this past Christmas and they were very thankful. We all work together and didn’t anticipate how early it was going to get dark this winter. As a result we’ve often all left work together escorting one another to our cars so that we don’t get jumped or attacked.
Since buying this product we still walk out together, but not for the same reason. It’s nice to not be afraid. Constant vigilance is not a healthy state of mind and your products have helped all of us be free of it. It’s certainly no fun to be afraid to leave work because you fear being attacked. Since I work in a major urban center it’s a true reality and it happens. But not to me!
