EVENT:
Tiga Tactics “Defensive Flashlight” Webinar
EVENT DETAILS:
What’s the most effective less-lethal self-defense weapon?
When your life is on the line — but you don’t have a gun or a knife — you need a tool that will stop a deadly threat regardless of your size, speed, or skill level.
A tactical flashlight is the best non-lethal tool you can carry every day for self-defense.
Why? There are several benefits:
- Its light is a long-range projectile at night, blinding bad guys at a distance
- It’s essentially a compact metal pipe that can break bones and shatter teeth
- It’s a practical everyday-carry (EDC) tool, used to illuminate in a variety of situations.
And the best part is that it’s legal virtually everywhere!
This one-hour webinar via Zoom will teach you the fundamentals of how to choose a flashlight, how to carry it, and how to deploy it quickly and effectively in a violent situation.
LENGTH:
60 minutes

Online — join us from anywhere in the world, as long as you have access to the Internet and a device capable of running the Zoom software/app.
