Would You Like Some Pipe With Your Chair?
This video from Active Self Protection analyzes a street fight where an individual effectively uses a plastic chair as a shield against a pipe-wielding attacker. The analysis, led by John Correia, emphasizes de-escalation and avoidance as primary strategies, but also covers the legalities of deadly force and the importance of emotional fitness and well-rounded empty-handed combat skills (striking and grappling) when avoidance fails. The video also showcases Mantis training tools.
