As a decorated 10 year US Air Force veteran with training from all around the world in Jiujitsu, I want to help. I have taken all my years of training and distilled only what really works and created a system of simple yet effective techniques that anyone can learn. My passion is to help men, women and children learn these simple techniques, thereby making you more prepared if an attack should occur.
This is your Minister of Defense signing on from Queen Creek Arizona. In this article I will give you my thoughts on two of the most popular self defense products, pepper spray and the key chain kubotan. I get many questions as to which product is best or which one I suggest. I thought it best to share my thoughts here so you can share with your friends and family.
The pepper sprays. The benefit to having this sleek looking inexpensive product is that it can be used at a distance. This is important for those who have moved past the days of having something to prove and now choose to do things without as much effort. If you are into keyring type pepper sprays, there are many styles, colors and sizes to choose from. They also work well on animals, for those living close to the mountains. The drawback is in a windy environment, you do stand a chance of "tasting your own medicine." Note that the chemical within these products are designed to inflame bodily tissue and cause chocking so being aware of your surroundings is a must.
Moving right along, let us cover the kubatons. These are for those that do not mind getting a little close and personal, because there is no spray involved that will afford you distance like the pepper sprays. If you want to cause maximum pain without expending much effort, then I suggest the "Ninja Style" kubotan. It boils down to personal preference. The applications for this product are many but here is the bottom line. With a little knowledge on how to use this, you can turn yourself into an inconvenient target, which is your primary objective in self defense. We are here to help.
So which one is better, you may ask? That depends on what you feel will work best for your particular situation. The drawback with the kubotan is, you will not have as much distance between yourself and your attacker. However, used the right way, you will be able to create the distance you need to get away. Here is an idea, why not have both? For the price, these are two of the best products of protection to have for under $20
I hope this was helpful, as you can never have too much information when it comes to self protection and the protection of your loved ones. This is your Minister of Defense. Thanks for reading.
