Product Description:
Cold Steel Koga SD Mini Koga SD2 Bob Koga began his martial arts career at an early age beginning with Judo at 12 and moving on to wrestling in high school. After graduation Bob joined the Air Force and while stationed in Japan he resumed his Judo training as well as studying Jiu Jitsu Jo-do and Akido. After finishing his stint in the Air Force Bob moved to Los Angeles where he joined the LAPD and served with great distinction for 25 years. During his tenure with the LAPD Bob became widely recognized as an outspoken proponent of the straight baton as opposed to the PR24 or side handle baton (currently popular in departments across the land). Upon retirement Bob launched a second career as a police trainer who specialized in teaching officers how to control and subdue violent offenders using empty hands as well as with the famous Koga Straight Baton. In the course of his career Bob witnessed and participated in many street fights and violent altercations. These experiences taught him that there was a real need for a small light easily concealed self-defense tool that could bridge the gap between using empty hands and the more dangerous baton. These insights led him to create the Koga SD1. Made of virtually unbreakable plastic the SD1 can increase the ability of the average person to defend himself several times over. With proper training it can function as a fantastic aid in leverage when obtaining joint locks or submission holds. But where it really shines is as an intermediate impact tool. You see police and civilians alike face a perplexing dilemma when contemplating employing fist or baton blows. Blows struck with the fist may be too weak or worse result in a broken hand while blows struck with a baton may be too powerful resulting in grave injury or even death. The SD1 however solves this problem neatly bridging the gap by concentrating and magnifying the effect of hand blows while minimizing the likelihood of permanent injury or death. If you'r

Negatives:
Made out of a resin plastic.
Positives:
Made out of a resin plastic :D. I'm not trying to be cute, it depends on what you're looking for. VERY tough resin, this little thing is capable of serious damage. Very cheap (I paid more for shipping than the weapon itself). Small, easlily fits in a pocket or bag.
Recommend it?
Yes. Cold Steel does it again (one of my favorite companies). Well worth the money. This little thing would be devastating if used in a hammer fist, potentially lethal in a spinning backfist. It's a weapon, pure and simple, and needs to be treated like one.

This is an inexpensive, simple to use defensive tool.
Small and light enough to carry loose in a pocket - simple enough to employ under stress. (Get a good grip on it, then stab hard at whatever you can reach.)
This is obviously NOT some "miracle" device that makes the owner invinceable - but it CAN be a usefull option in some situations.
Cold Steel has been making good stuff for several years.

There's no use for this except as a weapon. Cops won't be happy if you have one on you. Self-defense might make no difference to the judge. Instead - get a flashlight like a Mini-Maglite AA, about the proper size of a yawara stick. Then, when you are asked why you smashed it into the throat of the (censored) who came at you with a knife, you can say. "Well, your Honor, all I had to defend myself with was my flashlight."

The Koga,along with a Kuboton is a great tool for teaching women defensive tactics in what has become a more dangerous world. Used properly, it can save a life, although situational awareness is most important.
