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

 it does what it says.. August 30, 2010
kravist
it's a tricked out kubaton, P=F/A (pressure equals force over area), all it does is concentrate the blow, very well built, I just hope I never have to use it, I want to live my life in peace, but it is good to know you can have this extra layer of security, no complaints with merchant, great tool for soft targets..
Inexpensive Covert Defense Weapon July 5, 2010

In environments where self defense options are limited, this device is a nice option to have. I've carried mine through court house security without incident. It helps if you've had some martial arts training with six inch sticks or something similar. As far as I can tell, this thing is unbreakable and effective.
Light, lethal defense tool. June 13, 2010
G. Frieland
I carry this in my front pants pocket when I go into Mexico. Mostly for defense against muggers and drug addicts. A forceful blow with this anywhere on the human body will cause excruciating pain, particularly on areas with little fat and superficial skeletal features. Would work great for grappling too. And in combination with pepper spray.
 Strong and light, but bad handle ruined everything April 29, 2010

5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I like the idea of carrying a koga for defense because with a knife, you'd be hesitant to use it and even if you do, you run the risk of severely injuring your attacker. Cold Steel's koga is made of tough plastic that's virtually unbreakable and it's light so carrying is easy, PLUS it's cheap. However, none of those matter if the function is flawed. The handle itself is extremely uncomfortable to hold with those bumps sticking out and when you strike at an object, the shock deflects back to your hand so you also damage yourself.
The closest inheritor to the Yawara February 12, 2010
Lord Ramirez (VA United States)
I found the Koga SD2 a suitable replacement to the traditional Yawara. As a practitioner of YawaraJitstu it is hard to find ones that are as effective for pressurepoint work. Most other similar products are more like the kabotan, which while close, isn't exactly the same thing. For cost, and effectiveness it cannot be easily beat.
