I was first introduced to Kubotans and Kubotan key chains by my college roommate. We shared a room for the first 2 years of my stay at Pennsylvania. I learned a lot about self-defense and protective measures from her.
Maria shared with me how it was her dad's idea that she procure a weapon that was both inconspicuous and effective because she'd be living far from home. She used the World Wide Web to scout for such a tool.
It was there that she chanced upon Kubotans and Kubotan key chains. They were designed to target specific parts of the body where the most pain could be administered. This included the nerve points and bony surfaces. Then, with a simple poke, you could run away while your assailant is taken aback.
She let me borrow one of hers. At the start, I was unsure with my abilities to use it. But Maria soothed my anxiety by explaining that Kubotans and Kubotan key chains were engineered not to require any strain from the user.
The Kubotan made traveling alone more comfortable and I had taken to keeping one with me at all times. Especially when I had to visit my family at the end of the week. It had an inconspicuous build that made it the ideal defense weapon.
After my mom discovered that I had a Kubotan to keep me safe, she promptly got on the Internet to buy one for my personal use. She told me how much more calm she felt when she saw me with it.
I gave Maria back her extra and relayed the story of how my mom bought me one of my own. She was glad that her knowledge of Kubotans and Kubotan key chains helped me feel more secure.
I still get to see my former roommate now and then, even after we had left school. We would grab a bite to eat and share experiences when our security weapons protected us.
