It would seem that, as far as a defensive weapon goes, the Mag Light is pretty straightforward: The hard metal part of it collides with Mr. Ski-mask's head.
But I'm hungry for more. I understand that in terms of stopping power, the Mag Light may be the best, but it is the one thing that I can carry with me pretty much all the time without any problems in terms of legality.
What martial arts or defensive classes would be the most beneficial from the standpoint of using a Mag Light. As much as i would like to learn grappling and add some more striking, blocking, and throwing techniques to my toolbox, that all, for the purpose of this question, takes a back seat to making me more proficient with a Mag Light.
I appreciate any and all feedback. If it helps at all, I have 3-cell Mag Light that is usually with in arms reach, and a mini mag light on my belt. I know that a mini mag light can be used as a kubotan (which reminds me, I need to learn how to use a kubotan for the different joint locks) , so I'm going to ask that you clarify if the art/style/system that your mentioning is geared for the 3-cell or the mini mag.
Thanks.
P.S.
I know that there is at least one design out there of a Mag Light that conceals a .410 shotgun, so please don't start your responce with "take a shotgun shell..."
