7 Really Good Reasons You Need to Learn to Use the Kubotan Self-Defense Keychain

Ironically, in a world filled with terrorism, assault, rape, and murder, I have to write an article giving people reasons why they should be learning self-defense or the Kubotan personal-protection weapon. But then, if I didn't, who would?

Just in case you've ever asked questions like...

"Which self-defense weapon is best for the beginner or untrained person?"

"Why should I learn to use the Kubotan self-defense keychain?" Or...

"What's so special about the Kubotan?"

Here are some answers off the top of my head:

• 1. It's one of the easiest weapons to learn and use.
  
• 2. Short of picking up a rock or a stick, it's one of the cheapest weapons to buy or make.
  
• 3. It instantly gives a smaller defender a serious advantage over a larger, stronger assailant.
  
• 4. It's easily concealable, allowing it to seemingly come out of "nowhere" to surprise and confuse the attacker.
  
• 5. It's legal to carry in most areas.
  
• 6. If it's not legal where you live, it's easily substituted by a wide array of every day items that are the same shape and/or size.
  
  
• 7. It would be stupid not to.

In a self-defense situation, assailants typically brandish a weapon, not to use it, but to gain an advantage by merely showing it. Having even a simple weapon, like the Kubotan, evens the odds and can even tip them in your favor.

So, the next time you're wondering whether or not you should consider adding the simple-looking, yet amazingly powerful Kubotan self-defense keychain to your self-defense arsenal...

...the answer is a resounding, "Yes!"
