Kubotans have been around a long time. I remember getting a few at the flea market when I was 16 (I’m 50 now) and messing around with them with neighborhood kids. We were testing them out on stuff and one kid had the bright idea to jab me in the upper arm between bicep and tricep with one pretty hard. I tell you what, it hurt like hell. It was a hard jab and not a power shot, yet it incapacitated my arm for a couple of minutes, which is an eternity in a real fight. I definitely saw the usefulness of the tool for soft and smaller bone targets. I saw the Icy Mike critique and he made some valid points about training with it if you are going to carry it but I disagree to discredit it to the degree he did.

your teaching is very practical and easy to understand. great video

The Kubotan really looks effective but I am almost 80 years old so I prefer to carry a cold steel American lawman or a SLR1 lite, for self defense due to my physical limitations. Good presentation.

I've had a few issues with late notifications too, as I always love it when I get here live as well. Internet has been quirky lately for me though lately. But that's awesome Matt if you decide to put together some kind of schedule. I know we are busy, so I DEFINITELY appreciate everything you are doing for us. Love the classes. Member for life! 👍

After all of these years of hearing all different ideas of how to use a Kubaton, finally I have learned how to use it correctly from your video! Thank you. I have the aluminum, contoured grip, pointy end kind.

I had a " Short Stick ", ( the length of My forearm. ) wrapped with electrical tape . The end of the stick was made into a "ball " a version of a " Makiwara " I think ! Kubaton excellent on pressure points ...

[bartfart]

You and Icy Mike should fight it out with Kubatons.

Move your body - is the best advice 💪 in this video ❤

I really like the simple approach too, gross motor skills over fine motor skills like Sifu Mark Phillips usually says. Nick Drossos and a lot of others who know what they’re doing also agree too. The only thing I might add is although this won’t necessarily completely fracture a skull, I still think it would certainly do damage and I wouldn’t completely discount the hammer attacks. Maybe similar to how an elbow can open up a cut on the lower forehead/eyebrow area as seen a lot in MMA, that might work best after a helmet guard/inside cover style block and then bringing it down on them. The other thing as with all weapons is not to rely on it alone, use other weapons and strikes too, elbows, palm strikes, leg kicks etc etc. And I know others have said bigger weapons are usually better which is true, they also have more range, but something like this also has the concealability plus, portability, aswell as being harder to disarm. Not to mention a lot of objects are cross compatible with the training methods of the kubotan too.

Surefire, Streamlight, Fenix, Zebra F701...many viable options!

[benchampion]

I want that Kubita and I have used all different models.

Thanks for the video! I like the simple approach. If I drove a point into the top of someone's wrist, could it disable the hand temporarily? If the attacker had longer arms and I weren't able to reach the attacker's face, I'd be tempted to make that strike to the wrist or elbow.

[jameshuffaker]

Thanks for that.
If I may, at that range, facing a miscreant that is actively fighting, and knows at least a little about what their doing, we need to know how to handle incoming. Yes, poke them in the eye or throat, and they might reconsider their choices, but I'd probably have to get there first. Much easier with a longer stick. And I'll probably need to hit them with the hand with the stick in it. Koppo allows grabbing while retaining the stick.

Not real interested in yawara kata (tantojutsu?), fighting with a pocket stick in my hand, and either discouraging further aggression or disabling in short order, an unknown contact (armed/a-social/freeking crazy/impaired/friends?), I'm very interested in.

If there are any take aways, bigger works better, and the bigger the better. Staying smallish, I have to ask, blackjacks, saps, slung shot, and or knucks? Work way better then any pocket stick. As a group, Loong history of street cred, on both sides of the badge and morality. Being most all are illegal near everywhere, yet they are out there, and most everything is illegal in NYC...

Hey Matt, just catching up with your great videos. I have a tactical pen with a glass break tip….I suppose that would work the same way, correct?

[robmartin]

Use basic Krav Maga strikes pretty much is what your saying from the body mechanics is what your saying
