How to defend against a taser

Tasers could potentially immobilize you completely and put you at the mercy of your attacker. Here are a few tips to avoid getting tased in self defense.

1) Identify the type of taser and disarm - Is the taser designed for close range or long range? If close range, treat it as you would a knife and avoid getting shocked (see http://everythingselfdefense.blogspot.com/2016/11/self-defense-against-knife.html). Knock your opponent off balance before you disarm. If long range, treat it similar to a gun (see http://everythingselfdefense.blogspot.com/2016/11/self-defense-against-gunman.html). The only difference is that a long range tasers is less deadly. Use other obstacles, objects, or even thick layers of clothing to shield yourself from the probes of a long range taser.

2) If tased, fight through the electrical currents and disarm - The reason why close range tasers are no longer used by police is because many criminals still managed to attack despite the pain. Tasers that rely on pain compliance rather than immobilization of the muscles and other vital components of the body will not take down a relentless criminal. Don't believe me? Here's one example. In this video, a man at McDonald's gets tased several times and still manages to flee. You can do your own research and see for yourself. With proper pain tolerance, you could still disarm your attacker. Because of this, a more advanced taser was made. This model could immobilize someone from a distance by firing probes and activating upon contact. This model however still has it's flaws.

There is a video of a man who managed to resist the taser and remove the probes off his body. The key? Willpower and intense concentration. If you could focus on getting the probes off of you, the taser is briefly rendered ineffective and gives you the opportunity to close the distance as you take your attacker down or escape.

The importance of pain tolerance in self defense

We are taught that pain is a bad thing and should be avoided at all costs. While this is mostly true, it is not always possible in self defense and thus we should learn to have high tolerance for it in case. It is unwise however to believe that we are invincible because we have a high pain tolerance as our opponents are still capable of immobilizing our bodies. Our first and most important priority is to protect our health while ending the fight as quickly as possible.

Pain is simply a distress signal to our brains caused by damaging stimuli. While it's inevitable that our nerve receptors will feel it, we can alter how we register that pain psychologically. Why is pain tolerance important? Our emotional and psychological response to pain can greatly alter how injuries affect us. If we react in fear and panic then we risk further injury. Pain tolerance can also be the difference between fight or flight in the battle for survival. Pain tolerance is vital in a self defense situation as it can determine how quickly we can recover from an attack and respond to it.

Pain tolerance cannot be gained from repeatedly exposing yourself to pain. This will make things worse. Studies show that pain tolerance can be achieved through diet, cognitive strategies via meditation and convincing yourself that the pain is helping, a role model, laughing, touching the wound, breathing exercises, positive self talk, etc.

Pain tolerance will help you become better equipped to defend yourself should a situation escalate to high intensity.If you enjoyed this post, subscribe to my blog for updates, more advice, and exclusive content in the near future.
