Featuring Takayuki Kubota

Master Takayuki Kubota created the Kubotan(R) as a simple, yet effective self-defense weapon for the average person. The official Kubotan(R) self-defense keychain is a 5-1/2" plastic stick with a keyring attached. It can be carried by anyone and with some basic training can be a formidable means of protection. This DVD will teach you the basic strikes and techniques you'll need to use the Kubotan(R). Master Kubota starts off by explaining vulnerable striking points of the body. Next he teaches some simple striking patterns and joint manipulations. After learning the basics, you'll learn how to counter specific attacks including wrist grabs, arm grabs, chokes, punches, bear hugs and more.
