Hello folks new guy to cane ( I believe the teachings here are solid ), I have a 30 year old 2nd Brown belt in TKD ( dormant ) I have found that desperate people do desperate things. If things aren't going well for an attacker, ( my opinion ). The attacker will either leave, succumb or display a weapon, My old instructor told me to assume an attacker will always have a weapon which will be pulled at the onset, OR when the aggressor determines they are losing. The whole attack is critical , however, the initial start of the incident & at the turning point of the attack ( is attacker winning or losing ), will determine if a weapon will be used ( most cases ). Now, enter the cane & the teachings taught here ( smart teachings ). Distance is our friend & our cane is the bridge to or from our aggressor . If going to the aggressor, he needs to be as incapable as possible to counter , if going away from the aggressor he needs to be as incapable as possible to counter / fallow. One thing for sure, I'm hooked on the cane ( no pun ). I simply cannot see a person offering much resistance after a solid hit to the ankle , shin, knee or head ( if necessary ).....
Outstanding application of a low leg hook with the crook, which minimizes injury potential from a concealed edge/puncture/bludgeon weapon. Managing and maintaining distance during an altercation is often a critical predictor to a desirable outcome. Bruce Lee and other highly skilled practitioners, have indicated, "If an aggressor cannot touch you with his attack, he cannot harm you". The cane is a superb tool to deliver self-defense applications while maintaining precious distance. I've been carrying a shorter cane when in public areas after reviewing a video of two thugs who unexpectedly pulled knives and began randomly stabbing defenseless patrons in a busy department store. It was horrible to watch, but a valuable lesson about the importance to "always be prepared". Proper preparation can make the difference between survival and severe injury or death, to either yourself and/or to others.
My mother was traumatized as a child because every time she or her siblings or cousins got near their great grandfather, he would clothesline them with the crook of his cane and laugh an evil old man laugh. :)
Great advice
Thank you
Great video and advice!

Thank you very much.
Awesome concepts Gary.... thank you.
Thank you for watching my friend
The purpose of a distance weapon like a cane is to stay out of the distance where the weapon can wound or kill you.
Thank you for the excellent teaching content.
Thank you very much for watching
thanks for this video-really something to be aware of! !
Thank you very much for watching my friend.
I don't plan to plan to pull an attacker in close by the crook.
I would never pull an attacker closer to me. If I used my cane to defend myself, I would be trying to get distance from the attacker.
DANGER, DANGER, DANGER!!
