Carry a small stick and walk more confidently.
The Monadnock Persuader kubotan keychain is a mini-baton stick that can serve as a convenient, easily carried personal defense instrument. This 5 1/2 inch black wooden stick can be used as a striking instrument in up close and personal confrontations to control an attacker or temporarily disable him so that you can get away. The hard flat surface can be jammed into an attacker's pressure points to stop his aggressive behaviors, or the sides of the stick can be used for striking. There is a rotating metal loop projecting from one end on which to attach a key ring. With keys attached to the key ring, the combination can serve as an effective defensive flail for striking an attacker. This is likely to quickly discourage him from continuing his attack.

Do not confuse this kubotan with other less effective imitations of this original design. Only the Monadnock Persuader has the rotating metal loop which allows you to flail your keys 360 degrees. Furthermore, beware of imitations that will lock up when loaded with keys.
