The kubotan is a 5.5 inch self-defense keychain weapon developed in the late 60’s. It is usually made of high-impact plastic or aluminum. The best way to use the kubaton if being attacked is holding it like an ice-pick and striking in a hammer-like motion. There are many different ways to use the kubaton in a self-defense situation. In this video Kevin explains how to use it in a couple different scenarios.
Kevin Kinnon has been a fire Captain & Paramedic for over 33 years, retiring in 2011.

A friend was being sort of a jerk when I talked a little bit about the kubaton to a small group of five on a hike. The kubaton was caught underneath my pack (I was with FRIENDS!) and he decided to grab my forearm and twist while I struggled with the keychain trapped under the belt. Then he mocked me while I struggled to get in position to use it, and grabbed at my hand to take it from me. I was able to twist it away from him , wrap it behind his ulna at the wrist and he dropped my arm instantly. Then I stepped forward in a mock stab to his shoulder and he backed away about three feet. I then turned to his buddy who thought mocking women's self defense all very funny, but wiped the grin off his face and jumped back when I took just a half step in his direction.
The point of the story is you can use the kubaton BADLY and still get the job done.
The whole thing is Kubotan available all the time.
I don't think he is a good friend. For a fact I think he is a bully.
Seriously. Any guy who would make fun of any type of self defense a woman would choose to have in her arsenal is not worth spit.
I appreciate you so much for this. I'm about to start my first year of college and I am honestly terrified of a sketchy stranger approaching me at some point where I am left defenseless. This video helps so much!!!
Nicely articulated and clean! I like this vid very much. Semper Fi
Simple and well stated a good initiation. Thank you Sir.
Great video and presentation.
Thats Steve
Well said. You have my attention. Semper Fi
That was a really good video. It looked like it would work in real life for a change.
I’m a 5th dan with a background in Hapkido. I’ve carried my bullet tip kubaton on my keychain for many years. I’ve never had it referred to as a phallic symbol!
From one martail artist to another thank you for using your skills to help that's what it's for...help defend our fellow man and woman ...and those to be preyed upon ...we must help the weak and look out for one another and defend what is right ...that's why we train ..good days to you all
The look Kevin had when the other dude said Kah rah tay. 😂😂😭🙈
I have one. It just hangs on my wall though. I mostly carry my dull aluminum training karambit.
RESPECT!
In a gun free and knife states this my be your only option.
This should be your last option. Pepper spray, a collapsible baton, ir even a tactical flashlight are better options imo. Be safe 🙏
And remember always restomp the groin
Much like a rondel dagger. Same concept.
Is the flat semi pointed surface better than the pointed one? In what aspect?
Pointy tip can be very dangerous, you can potentially poke through skin, bone etc if you hit hard enough
@@Feroxylos umm good?
Sad we have to live in a society of trash good video.
Which type of kubatons are “better” the ones with points or flat ended?
Hey there. I wish to attend your class sometimes.
Are you going to host sessions in India too?
Also, for the giveaway, I am not able to tag you guys on Facebook.
Please help!
Hey Harsh, Kevin teaches his classes in Los Angeles. You can tag us by using the @ symbol, @proathlos. Thanks!
+Proathlos. Alas!
I tried to do the same, but you won't be linked.
Yea its a very awesome weapon. And I have just made a video on how to make a kubaton with shaving razor. Anyone who wants to make it go and watch it. Its the easiest way to make yet effective😊😊 and personally I saved a life with my handmade kubaton once.
Please explain how you explained how you saved the life. I have never heard a kubaton defense story.
@@stephen8433 once I saw a stray puppy badly tied up with ropes his legs were tied up and he couldn't move. I couldn't find anything to cut the rope,but I had a kubaton and I pushed it through the ropes and tear the rope string by string and thats how it was useful in my case. Thankfully I was carrying it that day else I couldn't have saved the pup.
@@SIMONSK9CLUB That is a great story! I use my kubotan to untie knots in my 550 cord projects. It is also great to puncture the inner seal on medicine bottles and instant coffee jars.
@@stephen8433 yes its a very useful tool
wouldnt a hammerfist be more effectiveas far as causing the brain to slosh against the skull and cause a knockout.
Before I forget, impressive civilian credentials. Semper Fi, Combat Marine
"No woman can defeat man without a weapon". This is what the black belt said; and he should know.
It is bullshit though lmao
Would this help me if I was attacked? I'm only 5'2 120 pounds??? I also have mace too
Yes it will. Anywhere you hit will hurt. Amazon has them.
This video is five years old; and things have gotten worse in crimes against innocent people because of the defunding of police departments across the country in major cities; and now is the time for not only women to be carrying this mini kobutan but men of all ages!
P=F/A la presion aumenta ya que la punta de kubotan su area es menor en comparacion a la otra arma, por lo tanto punzar con el kubotan seria mas doloroso que con la otra arma
F= fuerza, A= area
Wow you attended high school
The thigh shot won't work no way it's gonna work
Try it, I know it works you just do rapid fire strikes.
Just came here to see if any men will comment "It won't work on the street, BJJ and MMA all the way", or "I'll wreck a woman". I wasn't disappointed.
There is not a single comment like that, but ok dreamer
lol twist your hips anytime you're grabbed from behind. no one learns everything in 4 hours.

This isn’t about being a martial artist it’s about using a tool to help defend yourself.
@@tkdbob2021 I don't believe I said it was.
No woman can defeat a man without a weapon. Hm, really? I can think of several female fighters that would knock the shit out of this guy, even if he had his little stick with him. If you hit me as hard as you can in the shoulder, I'm not going to go on the ground.
Bullshitto!!!
Sounds like you just learned a new word, kid.
Both of you are holding fake imitations of a real Kubotan. The real Kubotan is patented and trademarked by the inventor Tak Kubota (that's why it's called a Kubotan), completely plastic, not metal or metal with tapered ends.
9mm works better for me
Take Kubota was hi name. He has nv need in Hollywood not Japan. Martial arts is a joke.
