Why is Byrna becoming so popular?

Hey guys, I feel like I'm seeing this Byrna launcher thing everywhere all of a sudden. Is it just me, or has it blown up recently?

I'm a bit out of the loop, to be honest, it seems like just yesterday I'd never heard of it, and now I'm seeing their ads and hearing people talk about them. Did I miss a memo or something? Was there a big event or a viral video that I'm completely unaware of?

I'm genuinely curious because the sudden popularity seems kind of random to me. Is there a specific reason why so many people are suddenly interested in these Byrna devices? I feel like I'm the only one who's a bit clueless here. Any info would be appreciated!

Defense against slams from a shoulder carry

Here I’m talking about the recent assault by Raja Jackson on the wrestler. What is the proper defense against that slam. The wrestler was obviously not expecting full contact. But if someone successfully gets you into a double leg lift all the way into a shoulder carry like Raja did, what defense should you be doing instead of just waiting to get slammed? All my searches seem to just give advice on how to not get picked up in the first place, what should you be doing if you’re already in a shoulder carry.

What's your best irl self-defense story?

I'm a new self-defense teacher; my students are doing great so far (we've been working on break-aways and blocking techniques recently), but I'd really love some real-world self-defense stories to give them a bit more reality to consider in class. While I always go over hypothetical situations at every angle I can, I think real situations could hit harder.

Ways to subdue a large dog (unarmed)

I was recently attacked by our family dog (about 4.5ft long, 85-100lbs) and although I was able to get him off me and yell at him enough to make him submit, it’s made me paranoid about ever being in a situation where I would have to hurt him or get hurt by him and I want to know the best ways to subdue or pin a dog without injuring him. Is this the right place?

Gas Pistol vs mace?

In my country, firearms are prohibited, gas pistols are the closest we can get. But they have the same effective range, they fire the same tear gas as a cheap pepper spray? I suppose the only advantage is:

1. deterrence, it looks like a real gun
   
2. can fire multiple types of tear gases

Any other reasons to purchase a gas pistol?

Best class to take for building confidence and self defense?

I have been dealing with low confidence and low self esteem. I'm currently on a small weight loss journey from 200LBS to 164LBS. I would love to find something that I can add onto my weight loss journey but also boosts my confidence.

I also am looking for something easy and simple but effective enough to protect myself. I come from Las Vegas and unfortunately after being gang r*ped an ex of mine decided to tell one of the girls (dating one of the guys that gang r*ped me) about my experience. I feel like I now have to have my head on a swivel especially for times I travel back to Vegas without my husband. I'm worried about women and men fighting me over thing in public at bars or clubs or just out in the open... I want to be able to have ten toes down and hold myself with self defense IF anything were to happen. I'm not interested in fighting anyone at all. Truly purely only for self defense. Thank you for reading and I appreciate any tips and comments that are positive and that answer my questions.

Pepper spray indirectly as defense

This may sound stupid but I recently sprayed my pepper spray in the bathroom to test it out and it was incredibly strong. It had a burning sensation in the bathroom for a good 20 minutes and I was far away from where the spray hit. It had me coughing, nose feeling weird and my eyes slightly burning. This had me wondering if using pepper spray indirectly would work as defense indoors.

What I mean by this is if there were to be an intruder but I didn’t have a gun would it be possible to drench the hallway walls in pepper spray to delay or possibly distract the intruders from getting to the bedroom? I’m not sure if this is a dumb idea or not but I looked it up and didn’t see much of an answer. This wouldn’t be to completely get rid of intruders but it would be to delay the inevitable and give me and my family time to hide, maybe even long enough for a cop to show.

(Yes I do plan to get my gun license soon btw)

Pepper spray alternatives?

I'm severely allergic to pepper and fear that if I ever have to use it, I'll turn a "run away!" situation into a "run away, and my throat is closing!" situation. I do carry pepper gel because that'll disperse less and seems a little better, but it still scares me. I like the activation method though, I'd like to make something that'll work similarly but isn't made with peppers. Any ingredient suggestions? Like, maybe peppercorns? They're fine, it's just actual peppers (anything from chilli to bell, any of em are scary for me to have)

What should a woman do to protect herself against a man?

Recently I was play fighting with my boyfriend, and he grabbed my arm and I genuinely could not free myself. Of course we were only playing and he let go as soon as he saw I became nervous but it made me realise that if a man were to try and attack me, I would be unable to defend myself. My boyfriend isn’t a bodybuilder by any means, he has a slim build, doesn’t work out and works in an office. Whereas I do work out and focus on weight training pretty often. I like to lead a pretty independent lifestyle and I’m on my own a lot of the time out and about, genuinely what would I do if I were in a situation where I was attacked by a man? How could I defend myself?

Verbal Skills: Lifesaver or Just Luck?

I’m 100% in the camp that says verbal de-escalation should be your first move whenever possible — avoiding a fight is always a win. But I’ve also seen situations where the other person simply would not calm down, no matter what was said… and it made me wonder how often we overestimate our ability to talk someone down. I’ve even come across some cultural differences — in certain places, people will challenge you and start a fight without taking “no” for an answer.

Have you ever had a time where you tried de-escalating and it worked beautifully? Or the opposite — where words made zero difference? What tipped the scale either way in your experience?

Did humour work? Did they end up byeing you a drink? Did someone else intervene? Did they step on a banana peel?

Have any women seen/caused this to happen?

I heard my self defense instructor the other day say that "you have only successfully kicked a guy in the groin only if he vomits directly after said kick" and like I know it's possible for that to happen but how frequent/true is this realistically? have any other women seen/done this before?

What would you do in this situation?

Murder recently happened in my country, man got into an altercation with a group of teenagers and when he tried to run away, they threw a projectile at him and killed him.

My questions are

1: Is it safe to assume that crimes like this are initiated by the victim? i'm not victim blaming but i've always assumed that you're safe if you don't get on the wrong side of the wrong people and know when to run, whereas my parents (and it seems MSM) believe that you just have to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and boom you have a knife in you for no reason, which is safer to assume?

2: If you assume the worst case scenario for the recent murder (murderers started the altercation) how would you get out? especially if they have a weapon they are prepared to throw, is this the situation where combat training comes in handy? note: you can get in trouble for defending yourself in my country, there was a case a while back where a guy killed a robber and got into huge trouble

Self-defense for the overweight?

First post here. Title is kinda self-explanatory. I'm overweight and walk with the aid of a cane due to physical disability, and was curious about how to use my weight to my advantage if I had to defend myself. Looked it up on YT and on google and all I found was how to defend oneself against the overweight which is kind of the opposite of what I was looking for. So I'm curious, if I had to defend myself, how could I use my greater weight as an advantage?

I need help picking out a fight move for an ASL music video

Sorry if this is absolutely the wrong place to ask, please suggest other subreddits that may be more helpful.

I’ve been wildly compelled to make an ASL music video for Ronald by Falling in Reverse. I’ve got all of it down, memorized and choreographed. But I can’t post it until I perfect this fight move.

“Pull from the depths of the 36 chambers”

After some digging found that “36 chambers” references that Wu Tang album 36 Chambers, but that album was heavily inspired by a 1980 movie called The 36th Chamber of Shaolin which is a kung fu movie.

I’ve no experience with fighting or self defense. I’m clueless what to look for. The only reasonable kung fu fight move I found isn’t working for me. (Punch high - punch low- punch level-as fast as you can)

I don’t like it anymore. It’s too basic. Please suggest names of fight poses or links to fight moves
