is what works best. Personally, notice I said personally, I'm gonna shy away from weapons that scream legal entanglements such as knives and firearms. My personal preference would be a walking cane, you know, the one with the crook on the end. Awesome weapon! My second choice is a belt. Of course these choices presuppose training in these particular items. That's where the Hapkido comes in. Respects, Bill Parsons
