A quick look at 4 ways you can wield an Okinawan kanzashi, or jifa (hairpin) as a self-defense tool. I hand-forge these from spring steel to hold up to the rigors of martial arts training. DM me if you're interested in one!

I made this hand forged spring steel Okinawan kanzashi/jifa (hairpin) with a black oxide finish. These were used as symbols of status in Ryukyuan society, as well as being tools to control one's hair, and last-ditch self-defense tools. Historically, they would typically be made of gold, silver, or wood, but I make these from spring steel so that they hold up to self-defense training.
