the stinger

[mook jong man]

Hello everybody, does anybody know about the stinger. My instructor gave me one that he brought back from America.
It is a black plastic thing that fits in your hand and a point comes out through your knuckles .
I am a wing chun guy who,s done some phillipino stuff as well. Ive experimented on partners and i can punch and even trap with this thing in my hand.
Does anybody know of any other applications like pain compliance or limb destructions that i could do with it. thanks

Never trained with anything like that, sounds like a great little doo-dad, but you should know that at least in California it would be highly illegal to posses one...

It is a good force amplifier and is designed for striking. Created by James Keating it is a useful alternative to a push dagger.

Here is a link to his site and the stinger:

James has some good material.

Thanks for the info fellas. I'm in Australia and my instructor said if i am caught with it to say that i use it for accupressure.

 

[Brian R. VanCise]

Well it is good for implementation on acupressure points.

Useful device indeed... but ya gotta love the wording on their description of the device... it's the kind that you'd want to ignore buying if it weren't so obviously practical.

THE STINGER: Comtech's own personal defense device. Designed to act as a "force multiplier". Like having the power of a karate master instantly!

Wow, I buy and carry one of those and I am... a... MASTER! Bow to me!! :asian:

Remember that thread in the firing range about the marketing of certain products? http://www.martialtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=64235

Well if they called this the "tactical karate master stinger weapon thingy" they would sell a million of them in the blink of an eye!!!

Kelly Worden has also designed some high grade plastic impact weapons, such as his "travel wrench". It actually says travel wrench on the side. I know of at least one person who carries one all the time, even on air planes, and there has never been a problem.

But then the advertising would get hauled into court and why'd you feel the need to get this deadly thing, were you looking to kill somebody" and there's your justified self defense claim round the bowl and down the hole.
