If you are looking for a very powerful and long lasting type of self defense weapon then you need to look no further than Kubotans. They are made from very strong aluminum and you can choose the color you want. They are quite small as they can be affixed to your keychain to always be handy. You can choose from either a pointed or flat tip.

There are several different ways in which you can protect yourself with a Kubotan. It really depends on the moves you are comfortable with and the particular situation you are dealing with. For your protection it is a good idea to learn several of the different techniques so that you can apply then when you see fit. You can use it in conjunction with your fist, apply pressure to the body of the perpetrator, or use it as leverage on their hands and fingers.

Regardless of the amount of strength you have or the point on the body you make contact with, a Kubotan is going to hurt the perpetrator. Try to aim for some common targets where it is really going to stop them in their tracks such as the groin, face, collarbone, or the knees. If you hit a very boney part on their body you just may end up breaking a bone or two.

There is no right or wrong way to hit with a Kubotan so there are not tricky techniques for you to master and put into action. As long as you keep up swinging and connecting with their body you are going to inflict some pain on them. A Kubotan is a legal weapon for self defense so you don't have to worry about it getting you into trouble. Most people won't even realize that what you have on your key ring is actually a very powerful tool.
