After the English riots of 2011, Amazon.co.uk reported a 3,000 per cent increase in the online sale of baseball bats
There are, however very few baseball teams in England
It is very difficult to swing a baseball bat inside a house, unless you know what you are doing
The environment in which you use a weapon together with the nature of the weapon, will effect the way in which the weapon itself is used
Very tight movements are used in an enclosed environment, as are the movements when fighting in a group
The prevailing conditions inwhich you are fighting will effect your movements, your opponents movements and the use of your weapons
A clever fighter will quickly analyze and assess the environment where the fight is taking place
The difference between two fighters is not based on their skill and expertise alone, but on how well they read the other fighter and the surrounding conditions
What is around you that could restrict the movement of a weapon
Are you fighting in a house or outside
Is the ground slippy, wet, iced or firm and easy to fight on
Are there many people nearby, will they get in the way
What weapons at hand are there
How can I arm myself
We live in a weapons rich environment
