This Simple Wooden Self-Defense Tool Is 100% Legal — and Perfect for Seniors

If a stranger grabs your wrist in a parking lot, the strength you had at thirty is not the strength you have today, and he is counting on that. In this video I walk you through a simple five-dollar piece of hardwood designed in 1968 for the women officers of the LAPD: the kubotan. You'll learn why it works without grip strength, the two grips your hands already know, the hammer strike and the wrist peel, how to carry it legally in most states (and where never to carry it), how to choose a good one, and the ten-minute practice that makes it automatic. It's not a fight-winner. It buys you two seconds and a step toward safety.
