One Stop Security

If an attacker is close enough to strike your person, it can be a frightening experience. But when an attacker is close often ranged weapons like tasers or pepper shots can be ineffective. When you’re engaged in close combat within range of an attacker dealing a physical blow, a kubaton will protect you.  Kubatons are quite simple in design, but very effective. In essence, a kubaton is a small metal rod which can be used to strike another person and deal significant damage. Even an ill placed blow to the chest or arm causes a lot of pain, and will serve to deter an attacker.

It’s best to carry both a kubaton and your standard pepper spray, stun gun, or taser. Kubatons can fit on a keychain or be concealed in a purse with ease. Because they’re so small they make ideal weapons for concealment. But rest assured a kubaton is quite effective despite being compact.

A lot of people are intimidated by self defense products because they don’t feel they know how to use them properly. While you shouldn’t be intimidated, it is good policy to be wary of these devices, because they are often very powerful. And while not many even have the potential to be lethal, it’s still a good idea to exercise caution and discretion when using them.

Also, make sure that every self defense product is kept out of the reach of children. Just as you would put proper safety measures on a gun, make sure that you use the same principles with all your self defense products. Also, look into self defense videos that the whole family can watch together. These will help make sure that all members of the family have at least a basic knowledge of the principles of self defense.

For years, I took karate but when life got in the way, I found that it was much more difficult to go to the studio to train.  With my karate skills rapidly going nowhere and my time becoming increasing limited, I decided to purchase some helpful self defense videos and practice at home.

While I don’t quite have all the workout equipment that I have access to at the dojo, I can at least make sure that my roundhouse kicks and my punches are as accurate as sharp as they can be and I don’t even have to leave my living room.
