My background is in outdoor adventure and documentary projects, so I find myself out in the woods or on a mountain with a camera kit quite often. I had a couple of shoots in Kentucky over the last few weeks so I brought the Orbit with me to give it a spin.

The legs can extend in three different sections, and are snap-lock style. While they were very secure and I never had a leg slip, I have to say that the lock part itself had a little bit of wiggle when opening/closing them. I tried tightening them down with the supplied allen key, but it still had a little wiggle. Nothing to be too concerned about, just something I noticed.

Ummm, would be hard to deny this monopod could be used as a weapon if challenged by the police or if you were denied access to an event or an airliners carry-on with the above printed on the device, yes/no? I sure would question their wisdom in providing the instruction's on how to use as a weapon right on the monopod itself ?!? Maybe I am overthinking it here, they might just as well be joking but I don't recall personnel at the average security check as having a well honed sense-of-humor! Sure my best friend's name might be "Jack" but I wouldn't yell "Hi Jack" on a busy passenger aircraft, but that's just me.

A few years ago while on location I was dropped off by a taxi a couple streets over from my hotel. I took an alley and was approached by two guys with knives that wanted my backpack, money, and passport. I had my MVM500a with a 504HD attached. I can attest that it makes an excellent self defense weapon!

FYI: I made my first instructional video over 15 years ago with Paladin Press. I worked with them regularly before they closed down and have produced numerous ones myself. For the past few years, I have made over 150 instructional videos for my Patrons. There are people who are better at it than me, obviously, but I do have plenty of experience and will share it with you. Use what works for you and discard the rest.

While defending herself against a sparring partner, Abdulla uses sign language to ensure her videos are accessible. As Vice-President of Deaf Planet Soul, Abdulla advocates for inclusiveness and accessibility for Deaf people and Deaf Muslims.

Muslim Girl: There are some videos of you demonstrating self-defense techniques that are especially relevant to women who wear hijab. Was it your idea to share these videos?

Brown is a whirlwind 5-foot-9, 240-pound barrel of intensity, and has a personality that toggles between life-or-death conversations about the necessity for ax defense, to funny voices and over-the-top facial expressions as he mocks the people who mock his uber-seriousness. The switch he hits between earnestness and total goofball is a big reason he has become an internet and sports world sensation.

But Brown's techniques have drawn heavy skepticism from the MMA and self-defense communities. Critics say he's a charlatan whose teachings are a joke -- or worse. "Guys like that get people killed," MMA legend Bas Rutten recently said on Ariel Helwani's "The MMA Hour."

Momentum has swung from Brazilian jiu-jitsu to wrestling, to Muay Thai and on and on. Almost every martial art has had its 15 minutes of Octagon fame, and that has fueled an unprecedented spike in virtually every individual discipline. Self-defense has come along for the ride, often getting lumped in with martial arts instructions, usually taught by the same people.

Statista, a global data collection service, estimates that the number of Americans enrolled in some kind of martial arts class has tripled in the past 10 years, to about 9.4 million in 2022. The number of places teaching martial arts has exploded from 9,284 in 2012 to 50,490 in 2022, employing around 72,000 people. Another data collection service, MRI-Simmons, projects that 4.267 million Americans age 12 and older will take a martial arts class in 2022. Overall, the martial arts and self-defense market is a $4 billion industry.

To be fair, though, criticism of Brown has become a nice business itself. Brown makes the point that many of his critics mock him for feeding the content beast ... by creating content about his content.

He liked Brown. Liked a few things Brown was teaching. Liked his passion for self-defense and ability to raise awareness. But would he teach those techniques himself? "I will say I wouldn't necessarily put my life on the line on the basis of some of those things he's teaching," he says. "But look, the chances of someone using this or even thinking about it who have half a brain are quite low."

It is a key distinction. Martial arts and self-defense are often conflated, and that is a dangerous misunderstanding. As Phillips says, most of the best self-defense tactics are the things you can't do in the UFC: eye gouges, bites, groin strikes and finger twists.

Brown toggles back and forth from pushing back on the criticism to laughing along with it. That ability to roll with the heat just might be the very best self-defense technique that Brown has ever displayed. "When he became a meme, he leaned into the meme," Williams says.

The comic, Glen Paige, is known on IG as TattooManPaige. He lays out the basics of a 30-second video that he wants to do. Paige will be wearing extremely tight shorts when he gets catcalled by a local DJ friend of his, Mez the Monster. Brown will jump in and teach Paige an anti-catcalling self-defense tactic. That's about the extent of the script.

Say whatever you want about the tactics themselves, but Brown is a short-form content black belt. He knows what the people want and how they want it, and he knows how to use his own self-seriousness to be funny.

But eventually, they nail it, then try Brown's suggestion to do another outside. Paige isn't so sure he needs anything more than what they just did, but Brown convinces him to try it. Five minutes later, Brown has crushed his part again, and Paige has two videos instead of one. The D.U.S.T. facility is as much a content studio as it is a self-defense school.

They've now been married for nine years, and their daughter, Indira, is 7. She's quite a self-defense star herself, appearing in her own D.U.S.T. videos sometimes. It's amusing to watch Commander Dale Brown melt into Dad Dale Brown. At one point on a Wednesday in June, Indira comes into the lobby and asks her dad to open up a bag of cheese puffs, and he does ... but he swipes one for himself. She growls and takes the bag back. He asks for a second but she glares and says that will be his only cheese puff, thank you very much, and she leaves the room.

He's scrolling through photos of that trip when Indira sneaks up behind. She wraps one arm around his neck in a rear-naked choke and initiates a self-defense drill on him. It's typical wrestling around with your rambunctious kid, just with the D.U.S.T. twist of a full-on chokehold and a plastic knife.

Suddenly she accidentally jabs Brown in the eye with the plastic knife, and Brown lets out a loud, "Ow!" Over the course of several days with Brown, including multiple demonstrations of self-defense tactics, it's the only time he seems vulnerable.

One income stream comes from Commander Dale Brown, infamous self-defense character. That's the YouTube videos, personal appearances, Cameos and individual lessons. Since Commander Dale went viral, an hourlong private session with him has gone from $100 to $1,000.

These one-on-one displays also showcase the points he has been trying to make about the difference between sports training and self-defense training. "We use all of the stuff you're not allowed to do in the UFC," he says.

Later, Hunt circles back and mentions how in other sports, nobody expects, say, Bill Belichick to be able to cover NFL wide receivers himself in order to be able to teach defensive backs. He loves Brown and wholeheartedly endorses his teachings. In fact, during an eight-year stint as an instructor at the Detroit police academy, Hunt says he incorporated multiple strategies and techniques into the curriculum for cadets. "Dale's stuff works," he says.

As he preps to lock up for the day, he gets animated again in defense of his self-defense. Man, Dale Brown loves self-defense sooooo much. Goof on his techniques, laugh at his keychains, tell him he posts too much ... but never question Brown's belief in himself or what he teaches.

Since 2003, we have empowered hundreds of thousands of people by teaching them self defense skills. We use a fun and age appropriate one-session class to build self-confidence and increase awareness skills that help prevent potential danger. Our techniques teach how to respond to: Bullies, friendship-drama, inappropriate touch, abduction, and more.

Outside of his music, Kirk has been more tight-lipped on specifics. He has always maintained that he acted in self-defense; a loving father protecting his then-partner Mariah Osborne and their two young children while the family was shopping for winter clothes. He claimed to police that Craig and Douglas had been eyeing him up and lurking in nearby aisles until they finally approached him, allegedly threatening him and brandishing a gun, leading Kirk to draw his own weapon and shoot, killing Craig.

The atmosphere of Tai Kai is welcoming, encouraging, and teaches extremally practical applications of BJJ, self defense and other martial arts, for beginners and advanced students. I highly recommend Tai Kai to anyone looking to build confidence, learn real self defense, get in shape, and enter a great community.

Amazing place! The instructors and even the other students are great. The facility is super nice, clean and really big. Can't say enough good things. No matter your age, fitness level or goals, it's a fantastic place to learn Brazilian jiu Jitsu, striking arts, self defense, and most importantly make new friends.

There is nothing better than the sense of accomplishment I leave this building with. The facility is clean and top notch. The instruction team is able communicate direction to every student regardless of experience level. I can't recommend this school enough as a place to better yourself as a a person. e24fc04721
