I’m sharing this for a fourth time because it best demonstrates my current mood. However, while this video is quite entertaining, Professor Duncan was the real deal. Unfortunately, he passed away in 2012. A former Marine, may he Rest In Peace.
If you are a fan of our WTF? series of articles then this one is for you. We think we have identified the mother of all WTF?’s and all future articles will be judged against this one. This is awesome!
Professor Ronald Duncan is providing instruction in the art of Hoda Korosu; the art of improvised weaponry. I was actually quite pleased to see this as I have been telling my kids since they were little that you could turn anything into a weapon. I don’t think they really ever believed me until now.
Ever get your ass kicked with a rolled up magazine? Well be careful with this information. It can be dangerous. Seriously, someone (yes it was one of those doubting Thomas children of mine) almost put my eye out earlier. If you do put your eye out, (or anything else) remember, we warned you.
Finally, I gotta say, seeing this guy I immediately think of Pootie Tang and the belt. Then again, if this doesn’t work for you, there’s the Craig Sawyer method.

I think you found Jason Bourne’s inspiration. One of the movies he fights a guy with a rolled up magazine.
Yes! I was just about to post the same. Wife wanted to watch all the Bourne movies recently – beats the tar out of an assassin with a knife, using a rolled up magazine. Immediately thought of this guy with the pony-tail getting ruled by the magazine.
I would definitely use an issue of RECOIL. 😉
Timeless Never-ending Entertainment. Period… Love the “WTF?” Series SSD!
SOF did an article on this back in the 80’s. I still have it. Guy takes on two knife armed thugs with a rolled up magazine in a back alley.
Sa da tay!
TYVM! Made me laugh so hard. Especially the slow motion. Poor “attacker” got it in both ends.
Im inspired, I’m selling all my guns and subscribing to The New Yorker. Going to use that as a weapon
‘The Eiger Sanction’ (book, not film) also mentioned a rolled up magazine
Just in time for my United flight!
LMFAO
Well Played Sir!
It would be even better if you could use the safety information in the seat back pocket….
Well played Sir, well played.
So u like it rough I take it?
Its all fun and games till someone loses an eye….
Then it’s just a game, find the eye.
Don’t they have several magazines in the seat-back of United Airlines flights?
The Millwall Brick, beloved of English football holligans everywhere
I saw a documentary in which a retired SAS guy did the same thing with a newspaper.
My shop teacher used to cut 500-sheet stacks of paper on the band saw. Packed tightly enough, paper can be pretty close to a soft wood.
“Now never do that again!”
