What is yawara stick?

A yawara stick, also known as a kubotan, is a small, handheld self-defense tool that is typically made of wood, plastic, or metal and roughly about 5.5 to 6 inches long. It is designed to be held in the hand and used to apply pressure to sensitive areas of an attacker’s body to inflict pain and disrupt their ability to harm the victim.

The yawara stick is commonly used in martial arts and self-defense training, as it can be easily concealed in a pocket or purse and is non-lethal, making it a popular choice for personal protection. It can be used to strike or poke an attacker, as well as to apply pressure to nerve points to control or incapacitate them.

The yawara stick is often used by law enforcement officers, security personnel, and individuals looking to enhance their self-defense skills. It is important to receive proper training and practice using the yawara stick effectively and safely in order to effectively defend oneself in a threatening situation.
