It's a great weapon that comes off as a non-weapon. Years ago, I saw a version of the stick that resembles a pen; only slightly bigger and lengthier. But, in Twisted, the yawara is really huge and menacing in a way. It's a deadly non-bladed weapon.
yes, the particular model in Twisted is very big, you have to carry it by itself like she did, I prefer the smaller ones you can attach with your keys. The pen one sounds great. I will probably make one like that.
I can't forget the scene where she bludgeoned her ex-boyfriend's face with her humongous yawara. I know what you meant. The version that can be attached with keys normally have a ring that can be slipped around the finger. The yawara is then concealed in the palm of the hand. This makes you appear weaponless when engaged in combat.
Another point worth mentioning is that yawara can also be used in joint-locking and defensive maneuvers. Most people mistake it only as an offensive weapon eg thrusting, poking, etc
good points, personally I like to use it for submissions when fighting on the ground, & I like the yawara stick very much because most folding knives become a yawara stick when closed, and if that is not good enough, out comes the blade ;)
even when not used its great for strengthening and conditioning the hands
