Anyone recommend places to learn how to use a tactical pen (aka kubotan) for SELF DEFENSE.

I do not want spend tons of time learning how to be a kubotan master so I can go to kubotan tournaments.

I just want to learn enough to use as a last ditch situation desperation. My life is very tame, and I don't get into bar fights, etc. So likely hood of me needing it is almost zero. However, I feel that because I will never get good enough with bare hands to be that effective, I feel that the tactical pen would give me the slight increase I need over bare hands. I dunno. Correct me if I'm wrong. And I think a tactical pen is just cool.

So, really it's more for the cool factor, but I want the practical element to it; I'm not interested in doing kubotan demonstrations at community events either.

Anyone know how to use a tactical pen?

 

I'd also be interested for the wife and I. It's a great friggin skill to have and is insanely effective as a last ditch. Some of the tac pens out there are ridiculous.

Also, as a disclaimer... CA laws apply here, so don't go around wielding a real one... You have to adapt a sturdy real pen to the situation, and it has to be purely in defense in a life threatening situation. (Why I want my wife to learn more than myself... )

 

My friend took a course, I will ask him where, how it was and how much.

 

I think they had a course of some sort at target masters a long time ago, not positive on that.

 

are we talkin pens like bic pens?

 

I'm laughing over here Danny at the thought of you going for your pen in a life or death situation....you know, instead of the arsenal of high powered guns that you have!

 

You mean a "real one" kubotan, right?

I just ordered one of these pens (working)

Embassy Pen - SCOTTEVEST

 

gotta bring that tactical pen for when the dungeons and dragons meetings get heinous

 

"Great for everyday situations" really? Because I know at least once everyday I need to shank a co-worker in the neck prison style and these regular ball point pens just are working well enough lol

In all seriousness though, how is this a better idea than just carrying a legal sized knife?

 

ThinkGeek :: Uzi Tactical Pen

This may be more sensible. If you have an attacker, why not draw some blood to ID them?

 

it has a "DNA Catcher" .... really??

 

yeah, BTW guys Im pretty sure anything thing you shank somebody with thats covered in their blood is also a "DNA catcher" lol

 

Hey my girlfriend has a DNA catcher!

 

Its a DNA "Dumpster"

 

Just get a Spyderco or a Kershaw. My edc is a Kershaw Tanto Blur that I got from Walmart.
