Self-Defense Keychain HQ is here to provide you with as much information about self-defense keychains: how to pick one and how to defend yourself with it.
Having a self-defense weapon is as important as proper self-defense or combat training. The reality is your attackers will always be bigger and stronger than you, if you’re lucky! If not you’ll have to deal with a multiple attacker scenario. This is not fun and it’s very dangerous! And you’ll need a weapon just to even out the odds. When you have a weapon in your hand you increase the chance that you'll survive or get away (assuming that you trained well and know how to use your weapon of choice). Self-defense Keychain HQ will provide you with the information you need regarding your choice of self-defense keychain and how to use it effectively. |
Your Keychain As a

In reality you’ll be attacked when you’re not ready, where you least expect it and the odds will be stacked against you. That’s why, other than your fists and legs (your natural weapons), the best self-defense tool or weapon is the one that is with you all the time. Ideally it’s something that you’re familiar with and know how to use. This is why, for me, a self-defense keychain makes a lot of sense as a self-defense tool. As long as I remember my keys, I have a weapon by my side.

Self-Defense Keychain HQ Author & CreatorI’m not big or particularly scary-looking, you might classify me as geeky, so I’ve been forced into a couple of self-defense scenarios as a kid and as an adult. Each time I come out of trouble, I realise how important it is to have proper self-defense training and a weapon in my hands in times when I can’t run away from danger or when I have to protect someone else and myself.
I’m Pong Li. I’ve lived in the streets of Manila, where “bladed-thieves” and balisongs are as common as rat and roaches. Then I later moved to Haiti where violence and social unrest is pretty much part of daily life. Being non-black in Haiti also means being a target of crime and violence, even hatred at times! As a kid I took Karate and Arnis/Kali/Escrima briefly and I had my dad teaching me how to use handguns. I took up Muay Thai but stopped because pounding my shins and elbows against a hardwood surface hurts! Then on my mid-late 20s I fell in love with boxing, which led me into taking up Krav Maga and other self-defense systems. This later period in combination with the demands of living safely in Haiti forced me to apply everything I’ve learned about fighting to my day-to-day life. Yeah, unfortunately, I actually have to live some sort of a “tactical lifestyle.” All I’m trying to say is I’m not a professional fighter or a self-defense expert, I’m a simple person forced to keep himself safe daily in a place where being a target of violence and crime is the norm. I know what worked for me in a real self-defense scenario and what doesn't, because my life depended on it. |
