Yawara

A Yawara is a weapon used in the martial art of Saito Ninjitsu. It takes the form of two small, thick sticks which stick out about an inch from each side of the hand. They are usually used in pairs to initiate throws, bone breaks, pressure points, etc. When one becomes proficient with yawara, they can use them as an effective fighting weapon that is both legal and easy to conceal.
