Encyclopedia > All round defence

All round defence is a defensive posture, usually adopted in times of confusion by all military units from squad up. In a prepared position, all round defence is adopted so that the unit is capable of observing all ground and directing fire onto the observed ground. It is typically used in all static military operations.

Journal of Non-lethal Combatives, Vigny Cane (4886 words)
Everyone soon gets to understand that this beautiful cane is in reality the most perfect weapon of defence, which entirely relieves one of the danger of carrying a revolver, and the feeling of disgust of having a dagger about one.
Recognising the want of a system of all-round self-defence, many men have devoted years of study and practice to perfect one, and many who have worked their own pet methods out to nine places of decimals, so to speak, have found weak points when they have put it to the test.
Walking-stick attack and defence is Vigny's pet creation, and to such a pitch of perfection has he brought it, that no one now disputes his claim to be the Champion Bratonniste of the World.
