Cane, Umbrella, Walking Stick: $175

Course Designer: Greg Hamilton & John Holschen
In these current days of personal weapons prohibition, the only thing you can't be kept from having is a cane! For hundreds of years the walking stick was the gentleman's weapon of choice. Given the current oppressive climate, it will be again. Anytime you have a three-foot section of anything you have the makings of your defense. Be it with a camera tripod or a custom made walking stick, these simple-to-learn and apply techniques will allow you to win a violent victimization with decisiveness.

You will learn the techniques "in the air", with soft weapons against a partner, and with real weapons against striking bags and anatomically correct dummies. You will also have the opportunity to experience the stress of defending yourself against a mock attacker in a padded protective suit. After these fights you will have confidence in yourself and in your ability to handle a real violent confrontation. In real-life combat, your opponent is trying to kill or cripple you, and you must respond with a combat system that reflects that. Learn to win!

  • Safety with canes in training and self-defense
