Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an apparatus for close combat that can be easily attached to a person's body or worn as a backpack. The apparatus includes a body with a gripping portion and a bridge portion, and one or more interchangeable tips that can be attached to the couplers on the body. The apparatus can also include a transparent body with gripping and bridge portions, and striking portions that can be used for striking or grappling. The apparatus provides a simple and effective solution to the problem of close combat training and provides quick and easy replacement of tips without having to replace the entire apparatus.

Problems solved by technology

Law enforcement officers are faced with many dangerous and rapidly escalating situations in the line of duty.
However, this arsenal of tools leaves a gap between a situation where a gun or a baton is needed to strike or shoot a suspect and a situation where a suspect is engaging an officer in close combat.
Additionally, a baton or a gun may inflict a disproportional amount of force in a situation when an officer is attempting to restrain a rowdy suspect.
Further, when an officer has a weapon drawn, a situation may be more likely to escalate because a suspect may get more defensive.
However, brass knuckles are designed solely to aid in a forward punch and do not provide for a variable level of force.
Further, brass knuckles are typically designed with a hole for each of the user's fingers and do not easily come off, creating a way for an attacker to take control of a user by grabbing the knuckles.
