Jared Wihongi, a global edged weapons combatives expert, details the practical application of tomahawks as a close-quarters combat tool. Drawing from Filipino Martial Arts (Kali), he emphasizes a transferable methodology based on angles, timing, and distance management. The discussion covers various attack vectors, including angular strikes, linear thrusts, and the use of the spike and hook for control and damage, highlighting the tomahawk's versatility for cutting, puncturing, and blunt trauma.

This video from Tactical Rifleman, featuring guests from Fit to Fight Republic, discusses how smaller individuals can effectively confront and overcome larger attackers. The core principle is that while physical attributes like size and strength matter, a smaller person must compensate with superior technical proficiency, overwhelming aggressiveness, and strategic exploitation of vulnerabilities. Key tactics include preemption, targeting vulnerable areas like the eyes, groin, and throat, breaking the attacker's posture, and utilizing mobility and angles to gain an advantage. The emphasis is on being technically better and more aggressive, rather than denying the importance of physical attributes.
