Kubotan: Diminutive And Subtle But Packs A Punch

Something as subtle and diminutive as a Kubotan, or mini-baton, can transform a mild-mannered and law abiding citizen into an effective fighter against a daunting criminal. Kubotans come in different designs and materials, thereby concealing their function. One type is fashioned as a keychain of about 5.5 inches in length and made of metal in different colors; the tip might be pointed or flat, depending on your preference. I prefer the black one with a pointed tip since it is less visible to the public eye and exerts more pressure with the same amount of force applied than the one with a flat tip. Others are made to appear like a fat Sharpie from Cold Steel; however, its thick polymer skin can withstand hard impacts; it is appropriately called, "Sharkie."

I find the keychain Kubotan practical since I can always carry it attached with a set of keys. More so, it is readily available for use at anytime anywhere since it is legal to carry in most, if not, all states. Firmly held with your weapon hand, which is the dominant hand, the Kubotan's strike areas are:
1. The bony parts of the body, which induce sharp pain.
2. The nerve centers, which render limbs such as arms and legs useless in gripping, punching, striking, or kicking.
3. And vital areas such as the temples, eyeballs, and lymph nodes, which induce permanent injuries and even death.

Certain martial arts, particularly a style of Filipino stickfighting called Serrada Escrima, greatly enhances the efficiency of the Kubotan. This art was founded by the late Grandmaster Angel Cabales. With Serrada Escrima's flowing techniques as close to trapping range (a term coined by Bruce Lee for his Jeet Kune Do style of martial arts) between combatants sometimes, a Kubotan in the hands of an escrimador can unleash devastating strikes to an unsuspecting perpetrator. The frequency, speed, quality, and location of blows can render anyone combat ineffective in a matter of seconds.

In the liberal and politically correct state of California, it is considered a felony under the penal code to carry a stick or any length rod in public that might be construed as a weapon. On the other hand, carrying a cane or walking stick is perfectly legal. Ironic isn't it since the latter devices can generate more impact at their tips due to their longer lengths? Therefore, an innocent looking keychain Kubotan might be the perfect companion as well as an equalizer against a bigger and stronger opponent.

I found this medallion/keychain that looks like it has greek but it might be latin or hebrew? help please haha?

Okay so me and my friend found this medallion that fits on a keychain in a parking lot
It is a circle, it has a lot of swirls on the whole thing, and along the edge of the face of it, it has what originally looked like hebrew, but looking closer we could make out words that looked like "enim" and "de" I couldn't tell any others...
in the middle there are two intersecting lines and in each segment they create there is a symbol (I am pretty sure these are hebrew type things) and near the top of the coin there is a jewish star which is what leads me to believe that the rest is hebrew

okay so does anyone have any idea what this is? I couldn't find anything on the internet about it or any pictures.
Help appreciated thanks
the haha means that it is not the end of the world if I don't get an answer, I just would really like to know because it is intriguing

Could you post a picture of it
so we can have a good look at it?
I once received something similar
which had Hebrew versions of Bible
verses on each side.
