The Mighty Pencil
Using anything in your environment for self-protection means that even a simple pencil can be used as a temporary equalizer for self-protection in a pinch.
Not only can it be used as a force multiplier, but the ability to use it effectively is amplified by skill.
“In place of the hand” is a principle found in a Filipino martial art like Pekiti-Tirsia. This is made possible by the transfer of skill primarily developed by training methods using swords (including knives and training rattan) that “informs” the mind, body and empty-hands without changing much of anything.
Thus, a method of training is needed to be effective in order to execute tactics as well as train your brain and supercharge your senses.
