Kubotan - Keychain

 Small measurements, big effect!

Kubotans are small sticks used mostly in martial arts like Karate, Jiu-Jitsu, ATK or Kobudo as strengthener for pressure. They are hold in the fist that way both ends overlap a bit.

Most of the Kubotans are 13-15 cm long and ca. 1-2.5 cm in diameter. In the past mostly made of wood or iron, today most of the Kubotans are made of aluminium, some of plastic. Partially provided with rills or other deepenings for better grip.

One side of the kubotan has a rounded spike that is used to cause pain by increased pressure. The best effect is gained by using it on one of the ca. 250 valleix points of the human body, like the hollow of the knee, axilla or inside the thigh.

The other end has either a rounded end or also a rounded spike. A rounded end mostly has an opening for a keyring.

You have the choice between two forms: waved or fluted. Both models have a rounded spike on one side and a rounded end with a keyring on the other side. The kubotan is 14 cm in length and 1.5 cm in diameter.
