Abstract: A defensive stick and relayed system and method of use system, comprising: a defensive stick comprising at least one and no more than two strike ends thereof; a user grip tightly affixed and substantially immobile relative to the strike ends; a carriage housing removably mating with the first one of the strike ends; and a connector connecting the carriage housing to a carriage point selected from the group consisting of: a place on the user's body, a fixed place near the user, and a material object carried by the user; wherein: when, in response to a perceived threat, the user applies a separation force at least one and no more than ten pounds, the defensive stick separates from the carriage housing, has its first strike end exposed, and thereby deploys for immediate defensive use with a single separation hand motion.
