Frequently Asked Questions
1️⃣ Tonfa - What is it?
A tonfa is a baton with an additional transverse grip, which can be used to incapacitate, perform leverage, deliver punches and stabs, and block powerful blows. Tonfa are currently used by police units and the security sector, but it is worth knowing that the baton with a transverse grip originated in Japan and was used in martial arts. As a means of direct coercion, the tonfa is designed to neutralize an attacker and control him after arrest.
2️⃣ Is the tonfa legal?
Plastic tonfae (without internal reinforcement) sold in military stores are available without permits and are not considered weapons. A tonfa can be used for necessary defense just like other legal self-defense tools such as pepper spray, stun gun and kubotan.

4️⃣ What is a tonfa made of?
Modern (civilian) tonfae are made of thermoplastic polypropylene, a plastic valued for its resistance to mechanical damage and insensitivity to weather conditions. Tonfae made of pp polymer are lightweight, hard and extremely resistant to breakage. Police tonfaes have additional reinforcement inside (spring steel), and are also often equipped with a special pin for breaking windows. Reinforced tonfaes are treated as weapons and require a license.
