KickChick Posted February 6, 2003 Posted February 6, 2003 Here is a link for you http://www.saunders999.fsnet.co.uk/kubotan/pages/law.htm Sorry but it happens to be illegal in the UK.... The kubotan happens to be the most common martial arts weapon in the US. I have a number of "objects" hanging from my keychain (for SD and in order to locate keys in my messy purse ) I also "know" how to use the kubotan so I suggest before anyone does purchase one that you learn the basics. Basic applications involve striking or jabbing vulnerable areas of the body. Swinging strikes work better on bony surfaces while fleshy areas are more susceptible to pokes and jabs with the ends of the kubotan. There is ne need to remember specific strikes for specific targets with just the baasics in mind you just have to remember to strike bones and jab nerve centers and pressure points. It really adds to the power of any striking martial art technique. There are a number of online stores where you can purchase kubotans (and techniques book) .... I ordered through http://www.kubotans.com/ real cheap ... and they do ship internationally. (if yo want to take your chances!!!)

Jae Hoon Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 those are like 3 inches long right? uhh why not just use your finger to stimulate the preasure points? isnt that what they are for? never really thought about them, always wondered what they were used for, although i was guessing that the spiked ones would be used for thrusts http://www.gamegen.com/fightgen/characters/jae-repeated-kicks.gif
