blunt striking weapon (kubotan)

 hi guys, today I'm in the workshop, and I'm going to be showing you how to make a blunt ninja striking weapon, also known as a kubotan. A kubotan is a non-lethal weapon used by ninjas to knock people out, but you'd probably get arrested if you attacked someone with this, so don't hit hard. lets get started!

Step 1: Stuff you'll need

to make this, you'll need some basic things.
they are:
a saw
a file
some paracord (or other strong cord)
dowel that you can get your hand around nicely
AND a drill / drill press (not in picture)

Take a look at this article

You guys must live in a bad neighborhood. Notice my profile picture, no stick, no Bo, no brass knuckles. Yes, I live in Texas and it is legal.

[One.]

no, no bad neighbourhood. I just find weapons and their usefulness/efficiency to be fascinating, is all.

[rockgod1]

...so you made a stick?

[One.]

not any stick...
its a hitty stick!!!


lolz

[rockgod1]

you sir are a master of self defense.

[One.]

why yes. I take pride in my mastery of hitty-stick jitsu

[treesneedtobehugged]

Seems like a not so good weapon to use. Like a glorified stick with sting and almost useless to use. About the same combat effectiveness as a pair of Nunchackus but would rather have a bo which is a glorified staff.

[Electric Warrior]

Clearly you have never trained with this weapon before. Even when practicing with a partner, kubatons really hurt.

[black hole]

Hey, treesneedtobehugged. The kubotan is far from a glorified stick with a string. When used in conjunction with kicks and punches it can be devastating. Also, even poorly used nunchaku have huge impact potential. A good user can wreak havoc. I do agree with you that the bo is a good weapon, but it's harder to carry around town than the kubotan. After all, a 6 foot staff is a little more noticeable than a 5 or 6 inch stick.

The loaded fist ,hammer strike and pressure point tool of a kubotan cant be underestimated. Unlike Bo staffs ,nunchackus ,sai and other defense tools , the kubotan can be carried anywhere ,even attached to keys . Fits in the back pocket easy.

[The Metal One]

fixed blade knife, 4 inches or less. a perfectly legal to carry, easily concealed, and quickly brought to bear self defense tool. same loaded fist, or hammer strike can be used. the addition of being able to cut someone to ribbons and inflict stab wounds is nice...not reccomended for gunfights.

[BtheBike]

u can read other comments regarding pockets knives . Its surprising where knifes are not allowed . If you stab someone in a fight ,cops and courts look badly on this, . Seen it before .

[treesneedtobehugged]

or just carry a small knife in you pocket, same concealment better combat effectiveness

[BtheBike]

Maybe . but unless one walks with the knife out and opened ,it may not help . the kubotan on your keychain is out and ready and no cop will likely arrest you for it . Walking with a knife out is legally questionable as well as dangerous to the average holder . One plus is ,a knife can look more formidable to a would-be attacker ,but can be used against you more easily than a kubotan .

[black hole]

Plus, it would be very hard emotionaly for the average Joe to stick a blade in an attacker, even in a life-or-death situation.

[skimmo]

but you cant put a bow staff in your hip pocket, what its is designed for is to increase the strength punch like knuckle dusters

[Electric Warrior]

That isn't what its used for.

[MisterHankie]

You mean like a fist load or brass knuckles for hammer fists?

[skimmo]

yes=)

[freeworking]

watch as it's twisted out of your hand and your middle finger is magically crushed! Be careful when deploying this tool and guard against twisting; make sure the ends sticking out the top and bottom of your grip are small enough not to allow an assailant to get a good grip.

[black hole]

It would take a lot to actually "crush" your finger; it's highly unlikely you will be using this against a gorilla. Even if your attacker gets hold of the end, it would be a fairly easy thing to break the grip before your finger is "crushed".

[connirs99]

Perhaps some sort of "stretchy" coed would help protect that finger. Just an idea

If you know vital points, then killing someone with a stick would not be a problem.

[Vynerlong]

i have a professional metal one as well as one i made from a sharpie that i found how to make online, i carry that with me when i go out as well as a knife. so i can use either or :)

[One.]

hey man nice one with the sharpie i carry one too (one of the thick chisel tip ones)

[eulaliaaaa!]

Soooo... A stick?

[Cheezpaper]

How do you hit them? =)

[One.]

whack them with either end! or, you could just punch normally with it, because it acts as a fist hardener

[eulaliaaaa!]

So, in other words, a stick?

[xanxor]

I would really advise against nailing your family with this. if you hit them in the right spots to hard they could hemorrhage and die.

[One.]

hit my family?! WTF? this is for self defense situations only.

[xanxor]

XD sorry i read this wrong "now if somebody attacks you or your family, you can nail them with a blunt ninja weapon!" I wasn't reading very carefully and I though it said something like "yow you can nail your family with a blunt ninja weapon." XD sorry

[the_burrito_master]

If I were you I'd put nails or claws on it. :D
