What is kubotan, what is it for and what origins does it have?

The yawara (also called pasak or dulodulo in Filipino martial arts) is a Japanese instrument used in various martial arts. It is also called Kubotan, even if the origin of the latter has relevance to the USA police of Los Angeles, who used yawara karate techniques, to form a self-defense tool, useful both to stop any aggressors without bloodshed, and to teach citizens to defend themselves without the use of dangerous tools.

The Yawara originated from the use of Kongou, a Buddhist symbolic object, by monks in feudal Japan. The Yawara takes the form of one or two small, thick sticks that protrude about an inch from each side of the hand. They are usually used in pairs to initiate throws, bone breaks, and pressure point strikes.
