So is this your way of explaining why your cricket bat was taken away from you in Jordan? And what the hell is a kubaton?

I had to ask the same question.

A key ring with a baton or other nasty things.
Comes from japanese “Kobudo”, a self-defense figth-method that uses all possible items of every day life. But Kobudo mainly uses sticks in different length [you can see it in every martial arts film] with metal-items at one or both ends of the stick. “Kubaton” is something that softies use to impress their girlfriend.
