Just for those who aren't familiar, this is what a kubotan looks like.

They definitely exist.

Where exactly, and in which cities?

Kubotan institutes? I don't get this "institutes" thing...

I caught that in some translated article online—honestly, who knows if it’s actually legit?

When it comes to Kubotan stuff, the most effective—and honestly, safest—bet is just hitting them with rapid-fire hammer strikes. Levers and pressure points are cool for training drills, but out on the street? I wouldn't count on that shit... unless you find yourself stuck in a clinch or on the ground where you can't really swing...

Most of the time they’re going for your hands or grabbing your collar—and honestly, James Keating did a killer job demonstrating how to defend against that stuff.

Are there any training sessions like this held here in the States? Also, what are some other ways you can actually use a kubotan?
