Do you need to be licensed to teach self defense in NJ Or will certification do?
There are no requirements to teach self defense in New Jersey, or most places. You may have to meet requirements for a business and/or health club laws.
The truest answer to this question is that self defense has existed since the beginning of time. It's a concept we teach in our martial arts classes.
While there is a lot of history about the development of martial arts in each country, the truth is that self defense dates as far back as the cavemen. They had to use clubs and weapons to protect themselves from wildlife and other predators. Self defense existed on a very primitive level and then evolved throughout history. It's safe to say no one person can really be credited with its invention.
Can someone go to jail if they seriously hurt someone in self defense?
Self defense is vague. Usually you or your family has to be in imminent danger. If this is the case, no, you will usually not go to jail. But, they still can sue you for damages in some states... Check your local laws.
Whether or not one goes to jail for seriously hurting someone in self defense depends on what one is defending against. A civilian may only use equal force to defend against an assailant. In other words, you can't shoot someone to defend against a punch in the nose. On the other hand, if someone is about to cause serious harm then you may use force that could seriously harm your attacker in order to defend yourself.
Where can you find information on self-defense products for women in the UK?
Read the links below there is a lot of difference between the UK and US legal systems on what is allowed and assuming the spelling above which is American you might want to understand it before you launch into buying things. Items bizarrely enough which are often not illegal to sell in the UK but may be to use! You can find almost anything on the internet but items such as marker sprays (genrally considered legal) can be mixed in with Tazor guns and black jacks.
Related subject - also be aware of overly complicated martial arts moves, the speed fear and adrenalin factor involved in an attack makes a lot of these moves impractical.
Also you can make your own protection, get a squirty bottle of window cleaner, empty it, buy several scotch bonnet (or stronger) chillis, chop them up and mix with water in the bottle, no one will keep attacking you if you spray them in the eyes with that. Trust me. Also it will keep its strength if you add some sort of preservative, maybe salt.
What do you do when someone is breaking into your house?
When someone is in the process of breaking into your house or has already entered the house:
- grab a portable phone or cell phone and dial 911 (or your local emergency dispatch number)
- hide in the best place you can think of to hide
- stay on the phone with Emergency Dispatch even if you cannot talk because the intruder is nearby
- if the intruder finds you, leave the phone and talk loudly as if you are a deaf person; pretend you are deaf so the intruder has to talk loudly too and so, be heard by the dispatch operator
- don't fight an intruder; within reason, do what the person asks
- Tell falsehoods if you have to in order to protect yourself or family (e.g. My father is due home anytime.)
- DO NOT go to a second location with the intruder. If he/she tries to move you outside or into a car, drop to the ground as if you've fainted or are ill.
As always, the best protection is prevention:
- Lock doors and windows
- Don't put your address on the Internet
- Don't tell people you'll be home alone
- Think about a plan before a crisis occurs.
- Tell a trusted adult to watch your house when you're away.
Answer
A head lock can be potentially highly lethal if one individual holding another individual in a head lock suddenly and unexpectedly turns into the head lock. That is, if the head lock is maintained by the right arm, a turn of the body to the right is turning into the head lock, or vice versa for a head lock maintained with the left arm, and it would likely break the neck and kill the opponent. This maneuver does not always result in a broken neck or death if not done just right, and it is not recommended that anyone try to kill an opponent. By law a defender should always use only enough force to temporarily incapacitate an aggressor and flee, unless it was absolutely and provably necessary to use lethal force. If you cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you had to use lethal force you could be charged and tried for at least involuntary manslaughter and given a stiff prison sentence depending on the state one lives in and the circumstances of the killing. And you will carry a felony for the rest of your life.
Shooting anyone is bodily harm and possession with a weapon if you don't kill them. If you kill them you will go to prison for either manslaughter or 2nd degree murder. It's not worth it. One person attacking another person without a reason is an offence and you can press charges against them. I'd go with the law as weak as it can be. This person isn't worth going to prison for.
Actually, under the law in America, if you are justified in shooting an attacker in self defense you are justified to defend another INNOCENT victim just as if you were defending yourself. The catch is if the person you're defending turns out not to be an innocent victim you could face criminal charges.
Would Locke believe in 'self-defense' after government has formed?
John Locke would likely support the concept of self-defense even after the formation of a government. He believed that individuals retain certain natural rights, including the right to protect their life, liberty, and property. Locke argued that the primary role of government is to safeguard these rights, but if the government fails to do so or threatens them, citizens maintain the right to defend themselves. Thus, self-defense remains a legitimate response within Locke's framework of social contract theory.

The title "Father of Defense" is often attributed to various figures depending on the context, but one prominent individual is Carl von Clausewitz, a Prussian general and military theorist. His influential work "On War" laid foundational principles for understanding military strategy and defense. In the context of modern defense systems, figures like Sir Winston Churchill or military strategists may also be considered pivotal. However, Clausewitz remains a key figure in military theory, emphasizing the complexity of war and defense.

Well, IJ just chambered a revolver in 32 SW short, and they certainly weren't the only company that did. Maybe people bought them for self-defense and maybe for plinking or keeping possums out of the henhouse. Paraphrasing "Cartridges of the World", the 32 SW probably ranks along with the 32 ACP in general popularity because it is adaptable to small, light, cheap pocket handguns. In other words, it's a hideaway gun intended to be used at very close range, not something to take to the OK Coral.
What is defence administration?
Defense administration refers to the organizational structure and processes involved in managing a nation's defense policies, resources, and military operations.

It plays a crucial role in strategic decision-making and the implementation of defense strategies.
Where can you get functioning katana swords that won't fall apart for 30-80 dollars?
make one its free if you have the materials and easyer than it looks
Making one is a option as the above says-but it will not be free and it most certainly will not be easier then it looks. By the time you make one of suitable quality you would have spent a several months-a few years of trying and far more then $30-80 worth in materials. This is not including the equipment you would need ofc.

The TASER (It actually stands for Thomas Alva Swift Electric Rifle- really) uses a gas cartridge to propel two small metal darts that are connected by wires to the TASER. The darts will stick through clothing, and into a person's skin. Electronic circuits in the TASER take electricity in the batteries, and convert that to a high voltage, low amperage electrical current. The current is an alternating current that has a frequency that causes blockage of nerve messages- in other words, your muscles are no longer under your control, and you fall down. It also causes a GREAT deal of pain in the few seconds that the current is on. There have been reports of deaths associated with the use of a TASER, but they are rather rare.
