Takayuki Kubota, born on September 20, 1934, is a Japanese karate master.
He is the creator and president of the International Karate Association, as well as the founder and founder of the Gosoku-ryu form of karate.
Kubota was awarded the title of Ske for his contributions to the creation of the Gosoku-ry karate system.
He is also the creator and owner of the Kubotan self-defense key chain trademark.
In the 1950s, Kubota worked as a self-defense instructor for the Tokyo Police Department, where he was known for his ability in practical karate.
He has dedicated his life to learning, developing, and training military, law enforcement, and civilian employees how to use self-defense skills.
He holds black belts in karate, judo, aikido, kendo, and iaido.
Takayuki Kubota’s registered trademark Kubotan’ was first conceived as a tool for police officers to confine criminals without causing permanent damage.
Its popularity began in the mid-1970s, when Kubota first brought the weapon to the attention of the Los Angeles Police Department and began training female officers in its use.
It is frequently promoted as being particularly efficient in breaking the will of belligerent suspects using painful locks and pressure point hits.
As a result, the Kubotan is also known as the ‘instrument of attitude modification’.
It is referred to as “The Persuader” in some law enforcement and security circles.
The Kubotan keychain (as designed and supplied by Kubota) is a strong high-impact plastic rod about 5. 5 inches (14 cm) long and 9/16 0.56 inch (1.5 cm) wide.
For increased grip, the body is lined with six circular grooves, and there is a screw eye with a split ring connected to one end for keys.
There are several modifications and versions of the original design available, ranging from aluminum alloy to spiked, pointed, tapered ones to more aggressive seeming “ninja” models with blades, spikes, concealed darts, or tear gas.
Although they are sold as Kubotans, they are not and are instead designated as generic self-defense keychain sticks (SDKS for short).
The umbrella term pocket stick is also used to describe rod-shaped hand weapons such as the Kubotan.
The word ‘Kubotan’ is a combination of “Kubota” and “baton”.
