Synopsis

Struggling to find respite from depression after the loss of his wife, Jason Angle throws himself into helping accelerate the invention of the first quantum communication system. But his project--the company's highest priority--becomes stalled in a conspicuous turn of events. To continue the work would threaten the plans of an ambitious Vice President, who places Jason in the middle of her board game. Dejected and uncertain, Jason realizes that the only way to save the project and to help himself move on is to continue the work in secret. Unless he finds motivation soon, he'll lose his job, his confidence, and the chance to lead the future of all communication.

Kali Sticks

In defending his property, Jason Angle uses a martial art called Kali. This is stick fighting with one or two 26 inch rattan or wooden sticks.

Why use sticks for fighting? Look around you wherever you are. Aren't sticks the most available weapon at hand? A chair leg, a pencil even, a broom handle broken in two. Unless you carry a gun all the time, sticks are the only weapon you probably have available when you need it.

Almost any other weapon is illegal to carry around. Swords, nunchakus, and knives are all banned by most municipalities. How does that leave you, a sovereign citizen, in a time of need? Is an officer around when you really need one, at that moment, in the instant of crime? Not likely. So you need to be able to defend yourself in the moment.

A good alternative to carrying around a wooden stick is to carry a collapseable baton, one that telescopes out to 2 feet. These can collapse to around a foot and are easy to carry. Of course, you can't take one on a plane with you, but you can check it in your luggage when travelling. You just need it on the street if you have to be there.

Hey, it's up to you to be ready if you're attacked. You can go your entire life without a crime against you, but being ready to defend yourself, to make it back to your loved ones, is invaluable.
