Oddbean new post about login | logout As a female, when walking alone in a sketchy place, would have a key clenched through my fist ready to go for an eye. Always made eye contact and sometimes slight smile or nod.
Pretty sure your first is weaker with a key between your fingers.
Depends on size, training, and other matters. A minor slashing weapon like a key and with an intent to go for an eye can be useful in some contexts.
Key projecting from the fist, bunch inside the fist, can be a serious impromptu puncture weapon to soft tissue areas of the body
I'm so ugly people run the other way when they see me. 😉 But, if I was better looking I'd carry a side arm after learning how to use it safely. I was an IPSC Range Officer in the late nineties and highly recommend it for anyone wanting to carry. https://www.ipsc.org/
Thank you for reposting me 🥺
Goal wasn’t to land a good punch, but to go for weaknesses to stun so I could get away to somewhere safe. Luckily never had to see if it worked 😂 I’ve been able to diffuse dangerous situations with words, body language, & sometimes help from others; not strength.
