Testing the Taser vs. MMA, Wrestling, BJJ and Karate | Taser Pulse Drive Stun Capabilities

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ต.ค. 2024
- The TASER Pulse was built with civilian self-protection in mind. When the cartridges deploy it can immobilize attackers for up to 30 seconds. We have also found that even without a cartridge, it's drive stun capabilities can help buy time and create space in self defense.

It seems to me from the test that keeping it standing, getting control of the arm, then taking your opp down worked the best. Whereas the guys who didn't remain standing more than likely got shocks the most.
Macho Man McGregor, I recently watched a video of yours from a year ago. It was a negative review of the Byrna launcher, in that video you were rapid-firing the product, it will lock up on you. If you fire, wait a second to fire again it works every time. Maybe you could follow up with another review.
You should do one on sonic weopons. So call phasers. You can find them at "Information Unlimited". I'm not connected with the company. They sell all types of electronic devices, kits and stuff.
Tesla coils etc.
I immune to taser
🤣
You can't get this content anywhere else. Legitimate self-defence simulations AND Jackass style zapping each other just to test it out. 10/10 content
I was trying to get that right mix of edutainment lol.
This is the most scientific channel in TH-cam, by far.
@@hard2hurt No pain, no gain, right? lmaoo
%1,000 agree, this is actually useful
@@hard2hurt And you did get, sir, you did get it!
I get a moral victory for being the hardest challenge and taking the most shots. 😤
Plenty of heart!
Well dam can’t argue that
Yeah you sent it!
Earned that sub from me. Great video boys.
Yeah. You went after it. Subscription earned. Thank you. Armchair.
6:51 good against electricity, bad against ice, Cliff is a ground pokemon
haha
Named pretty correctly too for this comment.
Taser? I hardly even know her
omfg...
I literally just wrote this comment and scrolled down to see Sensei Seth had beat me to the punch....or should I say stun? Great minds...
Don't ever change, Sensei Seth. Please
hahaha! we use this same joke when Thrusters are part of our CF workouts.
That's not even a dad joke, that's a grandad joke 😂
the hesitation displayed by these bigger guys that could CLEARLY just shoot you and take you down if they wanted to, is a perfect example of one the tasers biggest strengths, the psychological aspect!
Yeah, without it most of these guys are gonna be on me nearly instantly.
They weren’t hit immediately, but the fear did hit immediately
Probably didn't want to get tazed mid takedown lol
I keep leaving comments on these videos and these scenarios that are going down are in a gym with people that know each other if this was a Person with intentions to cause serious harm it's gonna be a different situation. And I know this because iv been stunned by cops and it did nothing but make me resist more and if I didn't comply at the end they would have had to pull out there glocks
@@austinblair9869 potentially yeah, this would probably still deter your average drunk looking to start shit though. but anyone with a real intention to hurt you will walk right trough this thing. also the close retention on your chest is nice if you're sparring in a BJJ gym but IRL there will be a lot more strikes coming at your head.

Yeah his mind got made up right there .

@@ArmchairViolence it was a good joke
@@ArmchairViolence i did practice some cloak and dagger with friends, pretty good joke to hear
Cliff got up pretty fast when Mike took out the money.
The universal motivator.
@@hard2hurt along with death threats.
More live training videos like this, please. This is great content and removes the "what if" of most martial art/self-defense channels. Good stuff, Icy Mike.
I will try. It looks like we are just having fun, but these things are actually pretty difficult to put together.
Watching Seth laugh at his own jokes in the background is always one of my favorite parts
He always has to have his own subplot going.
@@hard2hurt And possibly the theme from Enter the Dragon or Mortal Combat running through his head every time his feet touch the mat.
Fun fact: He does that 24/7, whether cameras are rolling or not.
@@excollector9963 dang
@@ArmchairViolence DANG
Thanks for making self defence FUN Mike. You're one of the few people who are informative but also entertaining.
Yes it's another great Mike and friends gem

Aaaaay, there is Clif back from whatever he was doing. ❤
Good to see his big smile again.
I understood that reference lol
@@hard2hurt Nice that you remember it.
Clif's my favorite co-star. Sure Jay has the best reactions and Nate has best lines. But something is so funny about seeing the calm, stoic mountain of a man Clif next to the best smack talker in the dojo Icy Mike.
@@jayvang7490 agreed
What these really work well for is dogs. I've used a similar one on stray dogs while walking my own dog. I've never made contact, never had to. Fortunately all the dogs stopped at the sounds. Will it work all the time? Who knows. But it has been effective in the past.
Yeah it's such an unnatural sound it wouldn't surprise me if it scared animals as well.
I think it sounds similar to the warning cry of many animals eg a snake. I would worry since, as far as I'm aware, I think the timing of the taser pulses is specifically set up to trigger something-or-another in human muscles, and I don't know if it would work properly on other animals. Would be kinda interested in an overview on that but obviously this isn't the channel for that, lol
It sounds like the predator. Get to the choppa.
@@jbt-qu6lm You're gonna hafta go on Russian TH-cam for that.
@@negativeionz 🤔 Could there be some Brittany Griner video of Her captivity in Russia, LOL 😂
The tan on Jake's arms vs his legs. He looks like two different people chopped in half and glued together
All that time sitting on an armchair.
Have you ever heard a crackhead say, "Ain't got no money, ain't gonna smoke today."?
Are all you guys gonna get out-hustled by a crackhead today?
Hopefully this starts a wave of quality taser based self defense classes. Awesome video!
many years ago I used to work nightclubs as a side hustle. These things are bad news in my opinion. It's one thing to see a bunch of guys who are trained and know what they are doing playing around with a taser but I've seen untrained guys try to rely on these in a street fight and got really hurt because of it. Where they might have simply been able to get out of the situation by not being so confrontational or having a hand free might have helped defend themselves, the taser put them at a disadvantage.
The results were shockingly good
Boo this man.
@@hard2hurt Your boos give me strength. My uncle's booze got him a DUI and a divorce
boooo lmao
The crazy part to me was that you went like six, one minute rounds….I’d think each successive challenger would have more and more success, but that thing really worked in keeping them at bay even though you were getting more gassed with each fight.
And the unknown factor was depleted. I thought for certain he'd lose it but props to him. He has killer conditioning.
Hard2hurt's cardio is impressive doing the stun gun demo, vs a bunch guys one after another. That extra hand leverage trick to hold the gun from being knocked out one's hand looks useful.
Well it's mostly mental. You see how exhausted everyone was when they finished? I did 6 rounds in about 15 minutes... it wasn't because I'm in better shape. I'm just not the one stressed out by the Taser lol.
that was mega entertaining to see. I actually have owned a taser pulse+ for about 2 years now and still never had to use it. I popped myself with it like you're doing here and yes, it hurt pretty bad. One thing anyone reading this should keep in mind is that if it's night time and you whoop this thing out, someone might think it's a gun, so if you're pulling it out in a situation that doesn't call for a gun, but someone thinks that's what you're doing, that could be bad. I got the clear plastic version of this for that purpose. When it's night and the safety is off, the rear light makes it glow green, so it's very obviously not a gun. I think the default color for these shouldnt be black, it should be yellow or clear.
The only reason that thing wasn’t taken from Mike is because he trains with it and trains to fight for real. Further proving the point that caring around a weapon means nothing if you don’t train with it
Great video.
As a long-time HEMA practitioner and fencing coach, I live the rapier and cloak reference!
Attacker: "So you have chosen violence". IcyMike: "Predator Noises Intensifies"!
I've always been impressed buy your skills man, but watching you go back to back with those giants is insane. You're a beast man
Thank you guys for doing what you do. I've been on the receiving end of being jumped 2-1 by dudes who had a TASER before, and I can attest to the psychological factor. We went from arming ourselves, to hearing the crack of electricity, to legging it. I'm pretty ambivalent towards being electrocuted, historically speaking, but on an untested weapon? That changes shit. The unknown factor is huge.
This came out amazing thank you so much for the support 🙏🙌
Thumb nail was an A+
I love how you in the middle of all these huge dues they're the ones who look nervous not you. To be fair you have a taser but still, a sign of respect!
The thing sounds like an angry predator I aint fighting with that
You're not supposed to be honest like this on the internet. You're supposed to say how you would just walk right through it.
For what its worth I got a friend that works in security AND has a side gig doing crazy stunts in a Freak Show troop. So his pain tolerance is way high. Anyhow he regularly lets people hit him with stun guns , on bare skin on the chest , and does next to nothing. But he also knows its coming and and he isn't your normal dude. Flipside I am a housepainter and am around electricity a lot. Just regular old 110v wires that i sometimes contact by accident or make a mistake when taking down a lamp or such. It gets me every time , but its the surprise more than anything . My hand jerks away or I jump , stuff like that. So the element of surprise mixed with some serious voltage like these have is a big part of the appeal and application. Great video as usual. Always good to test these thing as much as able .
OK, I was already subscribed, you do great content. If I wasn't though, I certainly would be after this. You didn't act like what you just did was definitive proof of anything, you ask if there was anything wrong with the test and know that it's just a simulation. The lack of ego is something to be heavily admired here.
After watching this and based on my personal experience as a self-defense practitioner, this self-defense weapon works pretty well as long as you know how to fight and you know how and when to use this taser pulse effectively.
Now this is what I call quality content
Awesome video , I just became a taser instructor can't wait to teach some classes , you all are beasts 😀
I'll be honest, I've been watching for years and never realized I wasn't subscribed. That changed today haha
This is the content we signed up for 😂💯
Cool! I have often wondered if these types of "shockers" have any practical effect. Cool retention tecniques!
What I learned is how important throwing hands really is. Thanks for the vid
This channel is pure comedy 😂😂😂 but you learn so much too on top of it. Wish I trained out there
I love how the warning is displayed with them trying to tase each other while laughing in the background.
YEAH MIKE YOU'RE DOING A CHANGE!
DAMN MAN, i love your videos lately because you cover ALL THE LIVESAVING KNOWLEDGE which becomes just nonsense bullshit when used poorly and is reason for tragedy, YOU SAVE PEOPLE FROM TRAGEDY!
This was one of your best vids ever. Civilian and leo.
If I hadn’t subbed to armchair earlier today, I def would’ve after seeing this. Amazing.
Cool video, and not the expected outcome. I've seen stun guns used in street fights to absolutely no effect, other than to really piss the other guy off.
This was awesome to watch and the weapon retention technique you used I had never seen before. Thanks for the lesson Mike!
The second guy had an excellent idea by trying to use the sweatshirt. I'd always use one as an improvised shield/ distraction in a real life self-defence.
But in general you made the best sales pitch for tasers I've ever seen, that flashlight thing looks mean.
Cheers!
Oh come on guys just go in. It’s apprehension that’s killing it.
That's what everyone thinks until they say go lol
This reminds me heavily of level 3 combatives back in 2013. We had a shock knife in training that was introduced randomly into grappling.
Ouch!!!!! I've been tased in training (shot) That flashlight looks painfully effective. As a close in weapon, never really trained like that. Good stuff. Thank you Mike.
I don't think anyone has really trained like this lol
Hahaha i love nate's energy he instantly says he'd do it with nothing on the line lol
He was putting on his brave face.
It really is a psychological tool more so than a pain compliance tool. A few years ago I got into fight at the bar next to our gym and the guy whipped out a stun gun thinking that was gonna end the fight, he was absolutely making full contact and I could hear it going but I couldn't feel it through the adrenaline. Absolutely pummeled the guy and after it was all said and done and he's trying to plug his nose up I see him holding that stun gun giving it the most disgusted / disappointed look I've ever seen. He truly believed that it was gonna save him. I wish i had a picture of his expression it was priceless.
Best straightforward test period, lots of good data not a bunch of guess work. Solid🧐
I appreciate the real world test. This is weirdly wholesome, and educational.
So I noticed you "kinda" struggled for reasons you would drive stun.
I work Private Security in an extremely aggressive area. I have THAT exact taser, the "Pulse". Everyone I have shot with it, drops within 2 seconds and becomes 150% compliant. However, with multiple aggressors, you can drop one, yank the cartridge (assume you are now out of cartridges) and then go drive on the other aggressor. This was an awesome video depicting the effectiveness of the Taser Pulse.
This is a really good video man. Keep up the good work
Great video. Really demonstrated the intimidation factor. I wonder how that factor might change if the opponent had previously been exposed to the jolt? More apprehensive or less.
Cliff, Nate and Seth all had experience with it... but they all have experience with my lead straight as well... not sure what percentage each thing contributed ot keeping them at bay.
@@hard2hurt How well would your lead straight be with a shocker blast? Why hold it back? 13:55 Breakdown in weapon retention and striking defense explains my concern away.
Original shipost
“I understand the fear of disarm for $100 but if mf in my face I am attacking with electricity. Hema/knife disarmas result in cuts, electrical disarms should result in the same effect if you move with intent. At 3:50 Will edit if video proves me wrong.
I am leaving my original comments and stating, yes as a defense holding it back is definitely a good idea but I still want to see it used as an offensive weapon.”
If Tyler slammed you after taking the back it should count as a game over, and would probably be one of the best strategies I think based on the results of the test
It would count if he suplexed him but he dragged him which meant he still had to submit him, which he never managed to do (in time).
Nice. Been needing to see more of this since having more taser involved takedowns at my job recently. Drive stun has proven to be more effective with the ground control. More than the prongs. At least in my exp.
The feet slaps to the head had me rolling! 😂 I freaking love this channel so much.
Great example of how weapons and intent really change a fight. Mike's lucky none of them grabbed the "barrel" of that stun gun (behind the prongs) and twisted, since that would be a great way to get a broken finger.
0:43 The bright smile that seldom brings anything good!
I feel the biggest thing I learned from this is that I’ll still need to be able to grapple to use it in the situation.
that's the correct takeaway good sir!
Mike with a taser is the scariest thing I've seen in my life
Lmao
I'm reminded of the "kicking a knife out of the hands" video here. If I'd been in that scenario with you guys, I'd have tried kicking it out of your hands with a crescent kick. Even if it failed and you retained the hold on it (which, as proven in the knife video, is not guaranteed), it could create a bigger opening to come in and take you down or try to land a couple strikes. Plus, in a real world fight situation, people would be wearing shoes. Shoes have rubber soles. Rubber insulates against electricity. ;)
That said, good video. The intimidation factor alone is probably enough in most cases to stop a fight.
Im so happy I stumbled upon this channel a while ago. Content GOLD 🔥
That clicking is a very real psychological barrier. it just looks and sounds scary. the stun gun to me seems like it would help me run away unless I was a doofus with too many enemies on DA STREETZ who don't care and want me dead on sight.
Bestaban, Sensei Seth and Cliff in one video! Instant like
Man… great video. I’m a Taser instructor/subject control instructor blah blah blah cert whatever. Good shit man. Already bounced this vid to my other instructors. /bow
That is an entirely accurate description. “Reinventing a rapier and cape fighting technique”!
Really valuable information!
I wish I lived closer! I want to train with all of you!
one of the best video on self defense period
The Strikelight 2.0 should be a super bright flash light plaus the taser so you can blind and shock
This was a great test! And a really interesting video
I have been pondering its practicality in a real fight for a long time. All vids are just cops standing there taking it… Thank you, thank you, thank you for testing this in the way your did. Respect for those boys stepping up to get tazed
That was awsome gonna share this with my friend who is obsessed with tazers, you said to comment about any limitations maybe longer rounds because it would show more once you were taken down ☺ awsome video
Very interesting. Excellent job getting out there putting in some work to learn and share some truth. Much needed
As usual, top notch content. But dont try to tell me you only play fighting games Mike! I see that rpg influence creepin'
I think a Muay Thai fighter would be much more effective in this situation than grappler. I believe that few hard kicks into the legs would incapacitate you and put you down and you wouldn't be able to reach him with your taser while he's kicking you.
Lol there was a muay thai dude there but mike checked his kicks and made him hesitant due to the taser counter
@@hayate503 i didn't see any hard muay thai kicks used in there and I was talking generally that thaiboxers would just have an advantage. Not everyone that trains muay thay must be that good, but if he's good, he probably would have big advantage
@@damasek219 if someone who is good at combat sports has a fight, he'd do better, thanks dude, never thought of that
@@hayate503 mate, stfu, why you even answer then?🤷♂️
Yeah... it's almost like this room full of guys who have all had plenty of striking sparring experience with me decided that it wouldn't work for some reason... lol. I have a pretty thorough explanation of the reason why you didn't see more striking, but in the case of leg kicks... that's not it lol.
Great video honestly
Thank you!
What a great group of guys to train with. Thanks men.
I'm kinda amused that the way Icy Mike goes into the challenge with Nate. He made it look like Nate would be the boss battle of this challenge.
He kinda was.
That tazer flashlight looks pretty cool
this was so fun to watch! hugs from brazil
So was saving Nate for the end intentional? It made the test extremely interesting because Mike had been pushing hard for a while there against a tough, fresh opponent. Nice video.
It’s really hard to emulate real violence and rage. If you check me well during a spar I’m gonna smile and I’ll actually be happy for you and myself. But if someone hit me in life, you have to flip the switch in an instant because it’s life or death. This video is awesome because it gives a good baseline for how a normal individual might treat the situation, but if someone has truly resolved to harm or kill someone else, it’s difficult to emulate or train against that mindset. Thanks for the video
Seth is the most striking grappler I've ever seen. His grappling stance is like kickboxing with his head forward lol
Probably because he is a karate guy who has nothing to do with grappling?
What would be a fair time limit to signify what would be helpful in a self defense encounter?
Homie is name is sensi Seth I'm well aware
It would be cool to see Sensei Seth and Cliff spar.
It's lame they just punch and kick the whole time.
@@hard2hurt where they supposed to draw swords and perform fatalities and stuff ?
@@tensae4725 That would be awesome.
“I’ve assembled a large group of tough guys, and jake” did jake dirty
Just love how Seth is just standing in the group while he has the face of instant regret
content just keeps getting better!
This was such an entertaining and exciting episode!
Now the stinger whip against live resistance 😤
Subbed to the new guy. Nice work!
I have one of these. I definitely dry stunned a friend of mine with it, but in my defense I didn't watch this videos warning before I did. 😂 the best part is he's a prosecuting attorney.
This is awesome! The only thing I think could be added is, the person with the taser using it to subdue/control a non-compliant.
That makes sense for police, but that's not the goal for self defense typically.
"So I've got a thousand dollars"
"I'm in."
While the stun gun is operating, you forgot that you have the feet to kick the groin, the person in defense is totally distracted to have both hands trying to stop the stunk gun and have no hands to protect a sudden attach on the groin by the feet.
