I was recently passed an article from the Atlanta Journal that highlighted a northwest Atlanta couple tied up during home invasion. According to the article, two men kicked in the back door early in the morning and zip tied the man and woman.
The man was apparently a plumber or an electrician and had zip ties lying around that were used to restrain the couple. The invasion occurred around 4:30 a.m. and they weren’t able to free themselves to call 911 until 6:30 a.m. Luckily they were unharmed.
It seems that the intruders were looking for drugs, which doesn’t exactly make this situation fall under “common.” It does however, illustrate the need for not only fortifying your doors with a device like the Door Devil, but learning how to escape illegal restraint from zip ties.
This is a great opportunity to not only review our article on escaping zip ties, but to share it with your friends, family and loved ones. This is literally information that could one day save their lives!
We’ve just released our testing footage for our Mil-Spec Plastics Cobra Cuff review a few months back and we wanted to give everyone a heads up.
Cobra Cuffs and Mil-Spec Plastics’ Zip-Style Restraints are the first Mil/LE style restraint we’re proud to endorse after thoroughly testing them in each of the methods we’ve shown that will defeat standard store bought Zip Ties.
Please refer to our review article for more information on Cobra Cuffs and the video below for our testing. While the video below shows just a few of the many tests we put these restraints through, it will give you a general idea of our testing procedures. [Read More…]
If you’ve been following our articles here at ITS Tactical, you’ve no doubt heard my good friend Jack of The Survival Podcast being mentioned.
I was invited by Jack on Monday, to take part in the filming of the Advanced Ballistic Striking DVD Series that he and his business partner Neil are producing. They flew Systema (Russian Martial Art) expert Val Riazanov in from the UAE to film the DVD’s, and I was asked to assist Val during the weapons disarming portion.
Assisting Val basically meant drawing weapons on him, getting disarmed and thrown to the floor. I’ve trained in Systema before, a few years back when I lived in California, but have never trained with anyone quite like Val.
I learned an incredible amount of information in just the few hours I spent with him Monday, and would like to take this opportunity to share some of that knowledge. I’m also going to heavily note the incredible Podcast that Jack put together that prompted me to write this article of the same headline.
I’d like to encourage every one of you to get over and listen to Jack’s Podcast from yesterday. I feel this is one of his best and most applicable podcast’s to what we do here at ITS. [Read More…]
