Shotjalm Magnum

Shotjalm Magnum He is the king of all shotjalms. (video here). It is the absolute top-of-the-range among shotjal knives, made from high-quality steel, hardened to 55–57 HRC, coated with hard chrome and supplied with an easy-to-detach Viktorinox 4.1835 carabiner. It is virtually indestructible and will last a lifetime. 
I’ve been involved in martial arts for several decades, and during that time I’ve carried various versions in my pockets – including some I made myself – made from different materials such as wood, hard plastics, or simply a closed pocket knife to fill my fist. Of course, I also carried a kubotan and a high-quality tactical pen, as I worked with money.
Shotjalm Magnum It’s absolutely top-notch in every respect. It weighs as little as a pocket knife. I don’t think its weight is a problem; on the contrary, it increases its kinetic energy and, above all – the material is virtually indestructible.
It fits perfectly in your hand and doesn’t get in the way on your keys at all, so you’ll never leave it at home again. When the going gets tough, it’ll be right there with you. You can unclip it from your keys whilst it’s still in your pocket with just one hand, and you’re, as they say, „all set“ – without even taking your hand out of your pocket.

Under current legislation, the buyer must be 18 years of age. Many people buy telescopic batons, which are heavy and bulky, and require open space to be used effectively; in practice, using them in a crowd, on a bus, in a lift and so on is impossible. Another disadvantage is that it has two ends, and anyone who knows how can easily wrest it from an attacker’s hands. (Perhaps I’ll demonstrate some techniques on herohero) Defence spray is also a great thing outdoors, but in a lift, on a train and the like, the other passengers will throw you out – not to mention the fact that you’ll probably spray yourself or inhale it as well. However, if a situation arises where you have to fight off multiple attackers with two shotgals, you’re practically unbeatable if you know what you’re doing. You just need to move correctly amongst the attackers. Because you’ll only touch each one once, and the attacker will very quickly – and extremely painfully – realise that this isn’t the way to go, and will give up if they have even a shred of sense. We’ll be covering that on herohero as well. It’s very important that you carry your shotjalm on your key ring, so you’ll never leave it at home or in another pair of trousers, a jacket or a blazer. It will always be with you for your defence and safety – and believe me, it’ll boost your confidence too. You only buy this once, and it will protect you forever. How long will your trainers, Gore-Tex jacket or new mobile last? Certainly not forever, and you’ll have to keep buying them again and again – and they’ll be much more expensive than Shotjalm Magnum. 
A Shotjalm is more likely to be passed down than bought again. And the security and enormous defensive potential it offers you are of inestimable value. Shotjalm Magnum It really can save your life. 
Of course, there are also cheaper versions of the Shotjalm Classic available to everyone. They do the job just as well and are available in various shops and online shop.
Shotjalm Magnum It is, but for those who have always wanted, want and will always want the very best, highest possible quality in this segment, because they know exactly what they want.
I can say that no kubotan or tactical pen can compare to this. I’ve carried both, and there are plenty of impractical aspects, such as their size, flimsy material, and having to constantly check which pocket or jacket I’ve put it in. An aluminium kubotan gets battered by the keys in your pocket and then starts to leave nasty marks on your trousers. I even had nothing but aluminium strapped to my thigh. 
And what about the pen? If you don’t always wear the same jacket, you’ll start leaving it at home once you stop wearing it. However, if you want to carry it in your trouser pocket, there’s a risk that if you fall or crouch down suddenly, it’ll dig into your thigh in the crotch area. 
The pen is too long for that.
When striking, you have to secure it with your thumb so that it doesn’t slip in your hand, and that thumb is a weak spot – it’s easy to grab and break. Their length is also something of a disadvantage, and there’s a technique for disarming your opponent, which effectively arms the enemy and leaves you in serious trouble. You can also use a very effective aikido joint lock against a hand holding a long kubotan, a pen or any sort of stick – and then you’re in trouble.
Shotjalm eliminates all these problems.
Of course, as a general rule, every defensive weapon has its strengths and weaknesses: it can be short or long, sharp or blunt, flexible or rigid, heavy or light. Just as it is true that for every technique, there is a counter-technique.
One thing is certain, though: when someone wants to attack you, they do so from a position of power which gives them the confidence that they will win – whether because they are taller, bigger or outnumber you, or simply because their foolish ego has decided so. Well, and Shotjalm Magnum The aim is to convince him or them, immediately, painfully and uncompromisingly, that this was a fatal mistake, and that his sense of power will instantly turn to pain, fear and helplessness, leaving the attacker with a lasting lesson.
Adjust the intensity of your defence according to the level of threat, but bear in mind that unless your life is at stake, you should avoid delivering strong blows to the attacker’s head.
It is worth knowing what the laws on self-defence and extreme necessity say, so that you can avoid any problems that might arise from using excessive force.

Shotjalm Classic

Shotjalm Classic is the basic, affordable version of Shotjalm. (video here) It is made from hardened injection-moulded PE plastic. It is effective enough against everyday threats and even in the event of an attack. What matters here is how well you know how to handle it, because you can do much more with it if you know how to use it properly – and if you’re a man.

Well, if the threat were more serious – such as multiple attackers, a sex offender, or a man attacking a woman – or if you were older, weaker or smaller, and your life were at stake and you wanted absolute certainty without compromise, then you should definitely choose Shotjalm Magnum. Here, you can choose between a lighter and a heavier strike, as even a lighter strike is highly effective. And you only need to buy it once in a lifetime – unless you lose it.

The Shotjalm Classic has enough punch to be thoroughly effective in defence. But here, too, it depends on the type of attack and threat involved. It is lighter than Shotjalm Magnum and, of course, it’s also softer. The Shotjalm Magnum is made of steel and is also hardened. I wouldn’t recommend hitting hard surfaces with the Shotjalm Classic, as it will get damaged, unlike the Magnum, which is practically indestructible. However, it is also much cheaper**, and therefore** anyone can afford it. Admittedly, it probably won’t last forever like Shotjalm Magnum, but if you use it sparingly, it’ll last quite a long time for the money. I don’t want to force anyone to buy more, but if you have two shotjalms – one in each hand – your defensive options become incredibly effective. Especially once you learn to use your free three or two fingers to hold the attacker in place, throw the attacker or attackers off balance, and launch a counter-attack from a secure defensive position. I’d go so far as to say that with two shotjalms, provided you keep practising, you’ll be able to defend yourself against multiple attackers with absolutely no trouble, and you don’t even need to be an athlete or in peak physical condition. And if there’s at least one Shotjalm Magnum, your options will almost reach the maximum possible effectiveness in this segment. Either way, Shotjalm is an absolutely brilliant self-defence aid that will certainly help many people live more safely without needless anxiety.

You can find Shotjalm Classic on this page in the „eSHOP “. The Shotjalm Classic is sold without the Victorinox 4.1835 carabiner and is only compatible with this model. You can purchase this separately via other websites. (Older carabiner models do not fit.)”.

Notice

Important notice:* ​You do not need any licence or registration to buy, own or wear a shotjalm in Slovakia.
These items are classified by us as self-defence equipment available for general sale, and the following basic conditions apply:
1. Age 18: You must be of legal age. By confirming your order containing this product, you declare that you are over 18 years of age!
2. Legal capacity: You must have full legal capacity.
3. No firearms licence required: You do not need a firearms licence to purchase these items (sprays, stun guns, expanding bullets); you simply need to present proof of identity (an identity card) to verify your age
Although purchase is permitted from the age of 18, their use must always comply with the law on self-defence or in an emergency. This means that you may only use such a weapon to repel an imminent or ongoing attack. Both men and women have the right to self-defence (necessary defence) on an entirely equal footing. The law does not distinguish between the gender of the person defending themselves, but rather whether the defence was proportionate to the attack. Section 25 of the Slovak Criminal Code makes no formal distinction between men and women. Every person has the right to necessary defence, regardless of gender.
However, gender, physical build and age play a key role in assessing the proportionality of a defence in a specific situation.
The Act

Videos on Herohero

On this channel, I want to share my many years’ experience of studying anatomically effective techniques. I will take a systematic approach to my explanations, starting with the basics and working through to complex combinations of techniques. Each video will cover just one specific part of the whole, so that absolutely everyone can understand it. I’ll film each technique from several different angles. Once you’ve watched it, you’ll have mastered it; all you’ll need to do is practise it for a while so that, as they say, it becomes second nature.

You’ve only truly mastered a technique when you can perform it automatically without thinking, whenever the need arises. Not when you have to dig it out of your head – even if you can demonstrate it, you’ll fail when a fight actually breaks out. Therefore, if you want to be good at self-defence, practise the techniques over and over again, imagine different situations and move around physically as well. Just moving in your head isn’t enough. Practise, practise, practise until the next video – and even after that.
A handy tip for better training: hang an old coat on a coat hanger somewhere – it’ll serve you well as a mannequin. If you don’t have one, have a look in a second-hand shop, dress it in some old jumpers, and you’ll have a training mannequin for next to nothing.

If you’re someone who doesn’t have to – and doesn’t need to – master a thousand techniques, stick to this principle: it’s better to master ten techniques perfectly than a hundred superficially, and you’d be better off buying Shotjalm Magnum.

Some people might find it boring if a video isn’t packed with techniques, but that’s precisely the problem with many teachers and their teaching methods. They’ll show you loads of techniques in a single session just to show off, but they won’t actually teach you anything.
I prefer to follow this approach: one video – one technique. That’s the way to really learn and remember each technique properly. And it’ll also help you keep track of things if you want to come back to it later.
The ‘50 techniques per training session’ approach is only meant to teach you the basics, not to teach you properly. With this sort of method, you’d probably just end up with a right mess in your head. Even if you did pick something up, it would certainly only be superficial, and you wouldn’t grasp the overall depth or the point of it. And even then, it’s doubtful how long you’d remember it.

The concept behind Herohero is such that, if you’re already an experienced fighter, you might even find yourself getting bored here. However, if you put your ego aside and watch and listen carefully, you’ll see the light beneath the surface between the lines. After all, nobody knows everything, and there’s always room for improvement. Just don’t let your ego get in the way.

Perhaps its greatest advantage in combat is that, even whilst holding it in your hand, you can use techniques involving two or three free fingers to hold the attacker by his hands, clothes, hair or weapon, throw them off balance and launch your counter-attack from a secure defensive position with virtually no resistance, and do so very forcefully from whatever position your hands happen to be in. You do not need to pull back and then thrust forward. Absolutely ideal with two Shotjalm Magnums because there is no need to transition into a better starting position to launch a counter-attack. In this case, absolutely any position is ideal for a counter-attack.
You can even model the whole situation however you like, so that you’ll know in advance what will happen after every blow you land, and the attacker will dance just as you want him to, without even realising it. Because the music to which he’ll be dancing is called pain, and its choreography is quite predictable. We’ll discuss this in Herohero.  

It’s so incredibly effective that once you really get the hang of it, you’ll carry it on your keys for the rest of your life. I carry two, and even two of them don’t get in the way in my pocket. 

And in time, once you have perfected your skills, we will move on to the best defensive techniques, which involve launching a counter-attack at the same time as an attack. This is exactly what the samurai did, who returned home from battle safe and sound. You see, once the body has started to move to carry out its intended action, and you’ve read it right from the start, that’s when you can confidently step into the attacker’s movement. You know where their attack is headed, and you can launch your counter-attack simultaneously with their attack. After all, they cannot change anything now – the movement has begun, the intention is being carried out, and that is precisely where the opening lies to step into it and prevail. However, this requires sufficient training practice.

A man once told me that he carried a knife. So I asked him whether he would kill an attacker with it if they attacked him. And if the attack were less aggressive, would he just stab him and cut him? Well, and if the attack were even milder, would he just stab him a little and cut him a little? I watched him; he began to think deeply, and perhaps it dawned on him.

As the entire defensive manoeuvre is focused primarily on the skeletal system and the striking surface is very small, the impact energy is not dispersed over a wider area but accumulates at a single point, causing immense pain. All the pain receptors in that spot literally go haywire; the brain starts to panic in sheer terror, and the fight is over. The surface of the bones is covered by periosteum. It is a thin but extremely sensitive membrane that covers the surface of the bones and contains a large number of nerve endings sensitive to pain (known as nociceptors – pain receptors). The periosteum is therefore our ally.
If a pre-emptive strike were launched with Shotjalmom Magnum Even if it’s just once, delivered with sufficient force, the attack is over, because no fool would want to take another blow. And yet there is no blood, just extreme pain and a lasting memory, until the inflammation that develops there brings the learning process to an end.

But watch your head! It’s dangerous up there, especially if you’ve got Shotjalm Magnum. Unless your life is truly at stake, it’s best to avoid this place, as, should a problem arise, excessive self-defence will be regarded more as an attack than as self-defence. See the law under ‘Notes’ – Notices – Sections 24 and 25 of the Act.
There are a great many effective and persuasive pressure points on the body that most people aren’t even aware of. You don’t even need to be a professional to hit them with ease and turn a situation that’s going badly in your favour.

In the videos, I’ll also show you all these points using the original teaching aid – a life-size human male skeleton, the sort used in medical studies. You’ll know exactly where on your own body you can feel these points. You’ll be surprised at just how fragile and sensitive the human body is, and how little it takes for the ego – which would like to hurt you – to crumble to dust when you explain it to it using the shotjalm. You’ll essentially become a programmer who, using shotjalm, reprograms an attacker’s intention to attack into a retreat or escape.
Shotjalm Magnum It might be expensive for some people. Yes, but you only buy it once; it’s not a consumable, so you’ll never have to buy another one because it’ll last you a lifetime. 
In fact, it’s actually cheap when you compare it to many consumer goods that cost a fortune, which don’t protect your health or your life, cost more and which you’ll definitely have to buy again when they wear out (some even several times over the course of your life).

Shotjalm Classic It has a precisely fitted opening at the wider end for the Victorinox 4.1835 carabiner, which must be purchased separately. Shotjalm Magnum It’s already fitted and included in the price.

Be that as it may, Shotjalm and its highly effective methods and self-defence techniques are available to everyone, and learning them is no rocket science. I’ll make sure the explanation is clear enough for everyone to understand.
The monthly fee for Herohero is basically the cost of a single lunch or dinner – everyone can really afford that.

Don’t worry, you can do it too. You’ll see, we’ll manage it together! 😉

Possible faults with carabiners

Although this is a rare occurrence, the safety ball may fall out of one side of the Victorinox carabiner as a result of wear and tear. In such cases, we strongly recommend investing in a new one. This will prevent the risk of losing your Shotjalm, which is particularly important with the higher-value Shotjalm Magnum model.
A compatible product bears the correct labelling Victorinox 25 mm silver snap hook (code: 4.1835) and is available as standard in online shops.
Both the Shotjalm Classic and Shotjalm Magnum models are fully compatible with genuine Victorinox carabiners. However, beware of counterfeit imitations appearing on the market. The older version of these carabiners is not suitable, as the locking balls are positioned at a different distance, meaning they do not fit into the internal groove – this problem is particularly evident with the Shotjalm Classic model.
With the Shotjalm Magnum model, it is possible to replace the entire carabiner. This is feasible, but requires the hole for the screw that secures the inner part of the carabiner to be slightly enlarged.

Durability tests on shotjalm hats

I’ve carried out the durability tests for you. Do not strike hard surfaces with the Shotjalm Classic. It is not designed for this and may be damaged.
The Shotjalm Magnum can certainly handle this, as it is made from high-quality hardened steel, but on concrete paving slabs and hard granite, the chrome coating on the tip will wear away.
Shotjalm products are designed primarily for self-defence, not for testing by striking hard materials.

An emergency aid kit for car accidents

The Shotjalm Magnum is also excellent as an emergency aid in the event of a car crash. This is particularly true for electric cars, where the risk is high. In the event of a collision, the electrical system may be damaged, trapping the occupants inside. If the battery catches fire and the vehicle starts to burn, survival comes down to a matter of seconds. In such cases, it is essential to break the window immediately.
You can’t open the car door from the outside, you can’t kick the window in, and smashing it with a headrest is extremely difficult under pressure. However, if you have a Shotjalm Magnum in your pocket or on your key ring, you’ll be able to get out of the car straight away. This tool can save your life and that of your entire passenger load.
Take a look at the test. Video at YouTube or Herohero.
Fortune favours the prepared!
