Kubotan Strike Points

Basic Kubotan Techniques

There are a lot of basic techniques that even a beginner will be able to be able to perform. Here are some of those basic techniques that will help you to use your Kubotan more effectively.

  • Strike with a knife-thrust stabbing motion or a hammer fist action. You must use your thumb to make sure the end of the barrel is completely secure.
  • Push against areas of the attacker that are sensitive. This will help to repel the attacker. Aim for the upper lip, back of the hand, sternum, or upper rib cage.
  • There are other sensitive parts of the body that you could aim for such the groin (ouch!), shins, solar plexus, under the nose, and knees. Back of the neck and calves are great ways to cause the assailant severe pain.
  • Always use your free hand for blocking. You can even use your other hand as a weapon to jab your assailant in the eye. Be quick like a cat!
  • When you strike your weapon downward this gives you the space to get out of the way and move away from the attacker. You can then take this opportunity to run away.
  • It is important to remember to not put yourself in any more danger than necessary. Stick to the basics or you will be in serious trouble.
