The Yawara/Kubotan/Tonbo - Short Stick of Self Defense

The yawara is a Japanese weapon used in various martial arts. Numerous types of jujutsu make use of a small rod, made of wood, that extends somewhat from both ends of a person's fist. The yawara likely originated from the use of the tokkosho, a Buddhist symbolic object, by monks in feudal Japan. The methods of using a yawara may have been created by samurai that used tantojutsu, which was a combat that made use of a short knife. According to another theory, a samurai might have fought with the scabbard when a more deadly weapon was not necessary. The yawara stick was popularized by police officers in the 1940s. A modern yawara is a kubotan which is about six inches long, made of plastic, weighs about two ounces, and has no sharp edges. The kubotan is used by police officers and the general public. Sensei Norcross has mastered the use of the Kubotan. He uses it with his Taijutsu to defend against opponents and various weapons.
