One more question on Chris's guard here. Obviously most of your techniques are one-handed. How and when would you transition to and from one hand to/from two hands?
Not certain whether this is in reply to my question about parallels with surfski paddling technique, but really like what you're doing here anyway - makes the advantage of the two-hander much clearer. A followup question: Chris's guard here has his hands fairly close together on the cane, similar to a baseball bat or kendo stick. As a paddler, I'd naively grip much wider. I imagine the wider grip enables a quicker and more powerful if shorter-range strike. But then it might have a lot of disadvantages that, as someone who's not even a beginner martial artist, aren't obvious to me. Oh, and a totally silly question ... is it wrong of me to compare your banter with the ancient Lancastrian art of Ecky Thump? (non-PC Goodies episode at www.dailymotion.com/video/x6u0reg ...)? Not actually suggesting you don the hats ...
Very good ! Thank you very much.
Great, I can use my baseball hitting skills⚾️😁😎
nice and simple concept
Cane masters have a samari cane designed as a two-hander. Works well kendo style.
I have had my canes for over 20 years now and still going strong. They are so good
@@chrisbird4080 Yes they are good, no complaints here
