The Mini Thunder Hammer - Impact Weapon
wshootingjournal ^ | 3/16/2015

Posted on 03/16/2015 1:22:16 PM PDT by w1n1

There are many different types of impact weapons considered non-lethal used for self defense like kubotan, keychain, yawara stick, and mini Asp baton to name a few. Not too many people have heard of or think to carry a mini size hammer, otherwise known as the mini thunder hammer. With the added weight and design the mini thunder can be used to generate devastating impact.

Doug Marcaida a Filipino Martial Arts Expert consultant for various Government agencies on “Weapons of Opportunity”. In this segment Doug demonstrate techniques and strikes with the mini thunder.

What’s unique is that this demonstration isn’t performed in the one or three step kata type that most traditional martial artists uses.

The technique is applied in a free flow type of drill known as “Hubbad” (not the full name, sorry) in the Filipino martial arts, the phrase means to tie and untie. The hubbad drill can be trained while using sticks, knives and empty hands at the close quarter range (within arms reach). The idea behind all this is to apply the technique and strikes while in motion during the block and counter exchange. Check it out here.

This need to be strictly control and possible banned especial the all black model with accessory rail!

It's OK if it isn't green.

No way the Obammy administration will allow this to be owned by free American citizens! And Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America would have to put on Depends just to look at a picture of it! ;-)

Looks foolish to me, anyone studying Aikido would take
them down before the first lick.

Do not allow disharmony in the universe.

Enter,enter,ENTER!

That’s an 8 oz. stubby claw hammer. It’s on sale now for $2.99 at Harbor Freight.

My favorite hammers...

22 oz. straight claw

Rigging axe.

Not great for concealed carry but the weight and reach are nice.

“legitimate tool”

Apparently it’s that and more. According to this author, it’s also a “mini-thunder impact weapon”.

A worthless hammer without a laser designator.
