Mike Brewer>>>In my opinion (and bear in mind, that's coming from a JKD/Kali instructor), the best material in the world on the use of the kubotan is the 6th area of LaCoste kali. It's called the olisi palad (among other things) and it's just literally a "palm stick". I'd bet if you posted this thread in the FMA forum, you'd get some great feedback.

The whole thread? how about one post? Is the little "pen" stick so useless as to be ineffective against a knife? I think not. There are no dangerous weapons, right? Only dangerous men! (short) Stick or knife? What's yer poison?
