Tom Martens self defence claim
Back round -
"Thomas Martens was an FBI agent for 31 years, a supervisor for 19, and recently worked at ORNL with a top secret clearance"
"Agents must engage in periodic training, including emergency medicine refresher courses and firearms requalification. Those who undertake protective assignments must also participate in specialized crisis training situations. Agents also acquire advanced criminal investigations training, and all agents are encouraged to attend training sponsored by other law enforcement agencies. Finally, all employees of the Secret Service periodically participate in personal development courses and management, ethics, and diversity training."
* NOTE - emergency medical training.
-Crisis training
-Ethics
"Once you are accepted as a new agent, you attend a 21-week training course at the FBI Academy in Virginia. The intensive course provides training in firearms, defensive tactics, investigative techniques, driving techniques, and survival."

Also Fbi officers train in self defence tactics for numerous scenarios with several weapons and Perps of different sizes and weight. One of the affective weapons of choice is the hand baton.
Different in girth and weight to a baseball bat the length of the two and how they are used/swung are similar. Strikes to bring down the Perp to submission are aimed in a controlled manner to specific areas as I have mentioned before. Behind the knees is on such way to destabilize an attacker. See training video below used for LE training with batons.
NOTE WHAT THE TRAINOR SAYS FROM 2.10 TO 2.24

Jason Corbett had notably no marks to the back of his legs, buttox, lower back . His
He has notebly no marks to his lower or upper arms/ forearms. Both inside and outside.
He has defence wounds to the hands and his wounds are most notable on his neck and head face and groin, which might suggest the person who attacked and beat Jason was close to him and it was a personal attack a hate filled and frenzied attack rather than an attempt to bring someone under control.
IMO the self defence theory laid over TM experience, nature of his job age and by his own admission a good relationship with his son in law doesn't fit. This was personal, it was brutal and could only be carried out by someone with a personal message for JC. That doesn't say TM to me and it certainly rules out the self defence theory IMO.
His focus may have been on the crime scene his daughter created.
