What is the technical name for the fighting technique in which you objects as improvised weapons to defend?

I heard a particular term used to describe the fighting technique in which the attacker or defender uses objects in their immediate surroundings to defend themselves. (Similarly to Jason Bourne, Michael Weston [of USA Network's "Burn Notice"], MacGyver and sometimes Jackie Chan)





I can't recall the term; does anyone know what I'm referring to?

It sounds like you are talking about weapons of opportunity. There is no specifically named technique for it. Mainly you just pick up an object and, if you have trained in a martial art that uses weapons, you use whatever technique best fits the object. If you have no training, then you just figure out what would work. Most of is semi-instinctive. If you pick up a pool cue, you don鈥檛 need training to know you can swing it like a base ball bat or thrust like a spear. I hope this helps.
