Has anyone used a Kubotan for self defence and did it help much?

I haven't used it, but I suppose its effective if the user is capable and skilled. When I was a young woman and out by myself, I used to weave my keys in between my fingers. This would have hurt someone if they tried anything.

I watched some videos - so I kind of know.

Just the college won't let me bring a knife in, so I need something else.

Keys are good, but I'm not so good with blood.

The police say it's an offensive weapon.

I don't care, I care about my protection.

Have you thought about taking a basic self defense or karate lessons KUREHA? My 14 yr old is a black belt now and she knows how to defend herself.

That's cool - I used to a long time ago.

I don't know maybe I could look into that, it's just I'm not so ok with people touching me.
