You can use many things as an improvised weapon. It seems fancy to see this, but when your life is in danger, you can do anything to defend yourself and save your life. If you are trained, you know what to do and what to pick that can be used as an improvised weapon for self-defense.

So can you use a magazine for self-defense?

It is just paper. You might be wondering what you can do with it. When you roll the magazine, it will be hard. Then you can use it to hit and distract the attacker in order to protect yourself. When it is rolled, it feels like a short stick, and you can use it like that. But remember, it is not a stick, so it will not be as hard and solid as a stick.

You can any use any object in a fight to distract your opponent. You can use a magazine to distract the attacker and then you can make your next move. If you throw the magazine at the attacker, even though it will not make serious damage, the attacker can be distracted for the time being, and you can use that opportunity to strike.

What you can or cannot do, that depends on the situation. You see the attacker is about to hit you, and you start rolling the magazine. It takes time to roll that. Before rolling the magazine, you have already got hit by the attacker. In that case, you might throw the magazine and then attack him. Or, if you have the opportunity to run, you can run.

It is also important where you hit with the magazine. If you hit somewhere hard like elbow, knee with the magazine, that might not work. You hit somewhere soft, it would be more effective.

When you fight to defend yourself, always use reasonable force. If you do not need to hit someone hard, please do not do that. Martial art is only for self-defense, not to attack someone to hurt that person.

Yes, you can use a magazine as an improvised weapon for self-defense. If you know what you are doing, you can use it effectively. Observe the situation you are in and make your move based on reality.

This post is on a very useful topic. Applying this technique, mentioned in the post, can save from critical situations.

I have seen in movies, may be that of Jakie Chan, where a guy was beaten with a rolled magazine. In real life situations it can be useful tools too if used promptly and efficiently as you have mentioned here.

Good post friend!

What we see in movies, that's mainly for entertainment. So you will see unnecessary moves that are not useful in self-defense. I always recommend learning martial arts from martial art instructors. Thank you for your feedback!
