Abstract
An electrical shocking device is used for realistic defence training against edge weapons such as a knife. The device includes a handle and blade body shaped to resemble a knife. Spaced apart contacts along the edge of the blade body are selectively coupled to a voltage source for delivering an electrical shock through the contacts when contacted. The voltage source delivers a non-incapacitating electrical shock to produce a fear response in the person being trained without injuring or incapacitating the person. The voltage applied can be incrementally increased as training progresses.
Claims20
An electrical shocking device comprising:
- a handle for being held in a hand of a person;
- a body of non-conductive material having two elongate opposed edges extending in a longitudinal direction from the handle;
- first and second contacts spaced apart from one another on at least one of the edges of the body;
- and
- a voltage source having opposed terminals for connection to the first and second contacts respectively for delivering a non-incapacitating electrical shock to a person in proximity to the first and second contacts.
A method of training a person for defence against an edge weapon, the method comprising:
- providing an electric shocking device comprising:
- a handle;
- a body of non-conductive material having two elongate opposed edges extending in a longitudinal direction from the handle;
- and first and second contacts spaced apart from one another on at least one of the edges of the body;
- connecting the first and second contacts to opposed terminals of a voltage source respectively;
- attacking the person with the electrical shocking device using edge weapon techniques;
- and
- delivering a non-incapacitating electrical shock to the person when the person is in proximity to the first and second contacts.
