A lightweight training aid is disclosed including selectively positioned posable appendages for use in various training exercises. The training aid may be formed of one or more separable and distinct portions including a head module, a torso module and a leg module, and combinations thereof. The head module and/or leg module may be releasably coupled to the torso module by interchangeable mounting arrangements. Appendages of the training aid may be posable, at least within a set range of motion, within any of a potentially infinite number of orientations. Methods of using such a training aid also are disclosed

A throwing knife. The throwing knife comprises a body having a first end and a second end. A handle is affixed to the first end of the body, and a blade is affixed to the second end of the body. A weighted member includes a perimeter defining a central channel and is configured to slide between the handle and the body. The weight may include a ring slidably disposed along the body, or a ball inserted into a hollow channel within the body adjacent an optional packing material, or may include both types of weights. The body is narrower than both the handle and the blade, such that a ring weight disposed about the body is configured to slide between a forward edge of the handle when held by a user, and a second position wherein the weight contacts a rear edge of the blade when thrown.

The present invention is a wearable, multi-sensory, personal safety and tracking device which predicts danger by sensing changes in voice, pulse, emotions, impact, motion of the wearer and the device state. In emergency situations, the device triggers SOS, alarm, electro shock, pepper spray and starts capturing images and audio recording for the safety of the wearer. For keeping a track of the wearer, the device connects to the internet using GPRS and sends the images clicked, the sound recorded and the GPS and GSM coordinates to the rescue team for gaining help for the wearer if needed. In the present invention, various technologies are integrated into one single wearable device thereby eliminating the need for purchasing and carrying multiple devices like pulse monitor, motion monitor, phone, camera, GPS module, self-defense tools, etc. thus saving money and providing comfort to the user.

A self-defense device having a handle, a spool and a line. One end of the line is secured to the handle while the other end of the line is secured to the spool. As assembled, the line is coiled around the spool and the spool is inserted through an opening of the handle. One end of the spool is sized to abut the handle while the other end of the spool is sized and configured extend within the opening and be releasably secured therein. To deploy the device, a user grasps the handle and releases the spool from engagement therewith thereby allowing gravity to unwind the line from the spool.

A throwing weapon (100) is described as comprising: a central portion (105) mainly ex-tending along a predetermined longitudinal axis (Y), a pair of first sharp portions (130, 135), which respectively extend from the opposite axial ends (110, 115) of the central portion (105) in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis (Y), and a pair of second sharp portions (150, 155), which protrude transversely from the central portion (105), wherein said second sharp portions (150, 155) extend from opposite parts of the central portion (105), in directions orthogonal to the longitudinal axis (Y), and are mutually off-set along the longitudinal axis (Y) itself.
