Your going to get sued if you keep teaching that . What your teaching is extremely hard to applicate , there is a lifetime of mental preparation just to get you to the point of discipline needed to become so fast by nature;it’s not a reality for all ,maybe one out of a lot and I mean a lot of people . And that one has no life ,other than what you are teaching . You are utilizing double the energy and leaving yourself vulnerable , let alone your students . Self defense is to improve the quality of life for people , mentally and physically. Another thing your not causing enough harm to the clavicle to stop a serious attacker,nor are you going to take out an eye with that cane . Then to add sarcasm to the situation with a kiss ! I tell you this , that attitude alone will disqualify you from recruitment into combat effective units . When your preparing your students from experience there is no humor only concern to bring your students home alive , be careful Sir ! When I’m instructing,my attention is on my students ,the body language ,attention span , facial gestures , lateral eye movements . I’m embedding technique into there nature ,those concerns leave no room for your humorous mentality . Drew Fuentes A.T.L. International Executive Protection
I have years of jujutsu/hapkido/TKD training, though not to your level. I get what you're saying, especially for America because there are some many sh*theads with guns out there I have also been a firearms instructor and deputy, and competed in USPSA/IDPA for almost 30 years (state IDPA production/SSP champ...whoopee! 😎). I have a CCW permit and carry at times (Glock, of course!). BUT-one can't always carry, and definitely not in all states or cities and never OCONUS. I want to broaden my skills like this, especially for travel when I can't CCW. Plus, I think that for too many gun-toting knuckleheads, this saying applies: "When all you have is a hammer (gun), everything looks like a nail (something to be shot)." You just can't shoot every threat, and in fact IMO in about 80-90% of situations, you'd better NOT shoot. I prefer to have more tools in my toolbox, and will add a cane with training soon. FWIW
a cane or a walking stick really is practical because you can take it with you anywhere, and in an emergency at least you have a chance to keep someone at bay, while you escape.
@@Atyrsvc1 You might want to include some specifics. For example the exact number of States and a couple of examples? Say this because I’ve heard that a cane is considered a medical device and can be carried without exception.
@@Atyrsvc1 I’ve tried to verify what you have said and can’t find a single example of such. If the cane is weighted, or contains a bladed weapon, well, yeah, they’re sometimes illegal. But the cane this guy is using?
Thank you. beautiful. Just the stuff to bring to an end an aggressive attack. The cane would be seen as a weakness to most dull trouble makers. cheers.
Have you studied any MA? If you have, you didn't learn anything. My old jujitsu Shihan was a cane master like this, and was attacked by four young gangsters. He put them down in seconds, and several went to the hospital. Short staff, long staff, escrima...many styles use stick weapons. The cane is an evolution to it, and one you can carry legally.
So many experts on youtube. I met Sheuy at a martial arts conference (bantu hall of fame or something in cleveland) . Down to earth, nice guy. Readily admitted "he'd trade 10 years of martial arts for gun with kung fu written on the side". Yall are shameful making these comments having never trained with him.
Many years ago when I had hair and drank I made my living as a bouncer in Amarillo Texas at joints on the Boulevard. I was taught to fight with a pool que and pool bars. Slapping a drunk with the thin end of the que on the side of the knee would get them on the ground. The thing was to get them down, get them up and then get them out. We faught in pairs. One with the que the other with a pool bar. If the beligerant did not get the message your partner taped them on the too of the head with the pool ball. No timple hits as this could be fatal. Top of the head they would drop like a sack of potatoes. If somebody went stupid we woyld would be opening the exit doors with them an half a minute. Don't frequent these places any more so don't know if they still have bouncers. On a good Saturday night we would escort maybe a dozen drunks out. No body knew or understood the partner aspect of bouncing. Tying into a drunk by yourself could get you hurt.
This is good stuff. I have spoken to Mark about building me a cane. I hope to go to Reno for one-on-one instruction (I have years of jujutsu/hapkido/TKD training).
One of the telltale signs of Bullshido is self defense scenarios where only a single punch is thrown by the attacker. There are so many flaws here. If you have a cane or stick, don’t waste time with this stuff.
The cane is not a grappling device any more than my BO staff. If you are forced to trap or joint lock an aggressor, something went very wrong. Remember, the best fight is the one you never have.
I only have one leg. I use an iwalk 2.0 strap-on crutch for a leg. I don't have much balance to work with anymore. I can still use some of what you teach: thank you!
I watched the video and I read most of the comments. I have to think that the only way any of these moves would work is if you spent a great deal of time training and practicing. Next I have to agree that an attack is going to come so quickly that you are lucky to get out of the way and simply swing your cane to keep some distance between yourself and an attacker. After that it is going to be whatever you can strike or simply keep him at bay. A cane is a good weapon that does not draw any unwanted attention. You don't need to actually need it and if you do then for sure it is going to be difficult to use it in a real life situation.
I successfully defended myself with a walking stick when attacked by a crazed junkie, luckily for me my cane was actually a 410 poachers gun...job done...:)
AIl of that stuff realllly works.. ..in a DEMO. ANYONE who's done any kind of fighting knows how fast a jab comes at you. Its in and out in a flash. That's why its the first line of defense in boxing. If you are using a candidate you will not be able to move fast enough to do these techniques against a live opponent. If you were able, you wouldn't even nerd a cane period
Your oversimplification shows your limited mental abilities. You seem to ignore things like feints and two-armed techniques...(one to fake, one to strike). "If you were able, you wouldn't even nerd a cane period" Some folks AREN'T 100% ABLE, or else they wouldn't be using a cane. Some of us are elderly, or permanently (if slightly) damaged. Both of my shoulders are weakened from years of abuse and the right one from 3 rotator-cuff tears, none of which were ever healed properly. Some folks use them FOR REAL, (i.e. assist to walk) and using them for self-defense is a bonus. Educate yourself, learn to think a bit more broadly, and then put your ego back on the leash, OK?
all of that stuff was designed for actual fighting on the streets with unassuming weapons that was the whole point do you really think people werent throwing punches as quickly as they could back then????
Has anyone ever seen a punch blocked like He is blocking them here. Neither Have I. Don't mean to be rude but have an issue with someone teach self defense that isn't practical. Most of the cane stuff demonstrated requires more precision than would work on the street. Looks great for studio demonstrations but thats all.
Well, Patrick, you have a point. I believe in the KISS principle, too, but, then again zombies, junkies, and other undisciplined guttermench don't usually take up martial arts. As you should know, most martial arts are not practical in the street or combat, which is why Krav Maga, Comrac Bas, or hand-to-hand combat that uses only large body movements are the time tested systems of choice.
Fast sword type chops to any part of the attackers body while gaining distance. Blocking any punch is not effecting. Eyes throat groin collar bone. I come from a long direct lineage of Muso jo combat. Martial Art combat is very easy. A handful if that of techniques is all one needs.
In the position he is, it'd be very uncomfortable or impossible to reach over to jab into him, a hook or cross is unlikely. It's supposed to be in a quick pace too.
All these techniques are really good ,BUT They are KALI and ESCRIMA Techniques , Useing a CANE is a good idea , BUT DON'T PRETEND YOU MADE IT ALL UP BRO.
S0S agreed I trained with GT Leo Gaje T William McGrath and Tom Bisio. we learned dozens of edged and blunt disarms Watch how fast I'll take that cane away from him
He stole this from FMA? Not exactly. Good escrima/Arnis/kali is way better than this complicated, showy and impractical garbage. This stuff is pura mierda.
Yall do know about canne de combat...right? It's a historical french martial art....using a cane... Also, most stickfighting styles have a MASSIVE crossover. Bataireacht, Arnis, gatka, donga, etc...
It's too bad for these 'grand masters' that attackers in real life situations actually move quickly. I would be a master too if my assailants stood still.
The last time I thought I was going to have to use my cane, my 50 lb Aussie took care of him. He bit the inside of this big dude's thigh ! I called Jake back to a heel and the tough guy got back in his truck and left.
Have you checked out SOBREVEVINCIA?? It's similar to this with more emphasis on control-- sort of like a "cane-aikido".... I'd love your opinion on that...
You only really have to be afraid of the elderly guy who doesn't walk with a limp. if the elderly guy walks with a limp you probably actually needs the cane, but you still shouldn't mess with him because then you'd be an asshole for messing with a crippled old guy
I have. It's actually really cool. However, nowadays, most people don't like using canes anymore like the earlier time so it will be the rarest thing ever seen.

Without having too much experience, I do feel like there's some stuff that needs to be talked about. That double leg shin sweep by getting around behind them is bs, plain and simple. Who is going to stand there and let you crouch behind them? Nobody. But the strike to the shin? That's effective. Just imagine how much that would hurt. The joint locks are all viable, but impractical. They are eacrima teqniques and most likely you won't need the full lock, the shattered arm or shin will be sufficient. In conclusion, I would say that this demo falls victim to the classic "let me show the flashy shit" that all demos do. Don't call the cane fighting system fake though, because if you replace cane with baseball bat or sword, you can see it being incredibly dangerous, so the cane is also a great weapon. But don't try to crouch behind your oponant and sweep the leg, that's fucking stupid
Actually, the cane works if applied properly. From the beginning with the will to do extreme damage! This ist not sport with katas and randori, or perfect gentlemanly behaviour. Self-defense means just that: get rid of an attacker as fast and hard as possible!!
These "Hollywood" techniques have their place but they are not self-defense techniques due to the time it takes to do them; if you're need a cane then you probably won't be able to move like this; Michael Janich's techniques are pure and simply practical.
he'll be inducted to the prison system - a guy coming in at him, "you can do this and kill em" - that's a bit harsh dude..... i think breaking his arm, or even legs are more than enough..., "you cant beat them while they are on the ground, you have to let them go if they dont get up... i wouldn't though".... dude, are you even listening to yourself?? the laws are just fine, i'm guessing most criminals would probabbly regret things immediately after the first few bones shatter... perspective man, just sayin
No, watch this video again, listen to his explanation of techniques, take a close watch to his feet and then ask yourself the next question: why does someone have a cane? The answer on this question make this McDojo straight away.
Problem here is the fact that most of the time you won't realise your going to be attacked until the person attacking you is six inches or less from you. Even if you have some martial art ability it's usually too late anyway. You put your glass down to punch someone the professional just puts the glass in your face.
@@TPSTraining No I was brought up in Glasgow in the 50/60s when nobody had heard of karate or judo, a glass or an ashtray was the first weapon of choice.
"Who the he'll inducted this guy into a hall of fame with this BS?" "I don't know. I think maybe Roger, he was pretty drunk when he saw this guy." "I don't freaking believe it, people will think we're idiots! What're we gonna do?" "Only thing we can do... double down and give him a bunch more awards and recognition. Hopefully if we print up enough awards for him people will just believe it." "Naw, no way..... maybe?"
Upon a quick search I could also not find a single video of him in any competition that actually involved sparring in anyway. Just videos of him swinging that cane at the air. This man is a con artist.
The basic is stick / cane is a distance weapon. If the attacker gets close to you it's useless because then you are fighting for control of the cane. The simplest and most effective thing to day is to control the distance and beat the shit out of the attacker with the cane. PUre and simple no joint locks , no trips just bludgeon .
This old guy is showing fantasy. He cannot have enough force one-handed to hit someone in the arm with that lightweight cane and break a bone. Break a bone? One can hit someone with a pipe and maybe, maybe break a bone. I'm an ex-cop, jiu jitsue black belt, I graduated the Koga baton course and I used it many times, 9:40 had a few hundred street fights using hands, 25 private ones , 1 only one walks away. I can tell this guy is just another you tube fantasy " martial arts master" . Safe bet: He has probably never been in a real fight. He trues that nonsense with a gangbanger of today and he'll find a new reality.
The canes were originally given to disabled people in hospitals in New York back in 2003. Many of techniques used have been around for decades. You need to practice basic approach to protect yourself with this cane. You can't do a side kick to the knee instead snap the cane to their knee can bring them down.
The one crucial aspect you never learnt was respect, de-fanging the snake my arse he would smash your skull into pulp with one blow, Please ask your Tuhon and he would tell you to shut your stupid mouth.
I'm a martial artist myself, I know you might laugh at this but I'll have seen the karate kid about 10 times, and I believe too and about preserving life. The only time you should ever take a life, or maybe anybody I'll think about it you shouldn't hurt anyone or break their arm or gouge them or doing anything that's going to cause them any hurt, if you can avoid it now of course injuries in a fight can't be stopped this is true, people are going to get black guys busted lips, but to go out of your way intentionally in a fight you are going to have injuries it can't be avoided now to take a cane or any type of martial art to have an intention to intentionally just figure someone name them so they can't walk away from it. And I've been in plenty of fights myself alone if you hit someone hard enough you dominate the fight and they give up, let me say that again and they give up think about it sometimes people get where they have enough. But you take a weapon to intentionally disfigure them, then you're wrong. And I'm right and I know it. And I know those people is going to read this who's going to agree with me who agrees? You can win a fight, and cause minimum damage. And both of you walk away. Now the only time, and I mean the only time understand me because reading that you can't hear my voice and you can't see my anger, understand the only time you have a right and it's not necessarily a right to take someone's life as if your life is in jeopardy and even then. If you beat him up and he gives up and then you decide to just kill him that's murder. So to all you wash the artist I pray to God God plays on your conscience cuz you better not decide after it's over with to just kill it cuz that's murder. Don't let your anger take over and you end up killing somebody in your regret. Then you deserve to go to jail you deserve to go to prison. I want these teachers who think this way to rethink it because you can want to fight, you can't save your life and preserve life and both of you walk away. The last thought think about this carry two or three cell phones hide your money on you somewhere else. Anyone who's willing to commit a crime with enough or gun. Or willing to do anything so unless you feel that your life is in danger better for you to comply and someone getting out of there car and being nothing with you stay in your car lock your doors tucked down if you have to and put it in gear and then speed off and duck down they might miss. And drive and go to the police station or call the police as you're getting towards police station or some deputies. Go home and call the police and tell them what happened. No one in any more shots or any type unless they think their life is in danger even if it is in danger has no right really to take anyone's life only God Almighty has that right. So don't be judge jury and execution, the American people and movies have made a joke out of martial arts and what it stands for which one of you have a right to take life. Why is your life more valuable . I'm trying to get you to understand be careful what you do even if you think you're right, you're wrong besides this man's preaching we have bad loss maybe but we have lost to protect people. Why should that person or did you wrong not deserve to have his life. Maybe he was on drugs maybe it's drinking, so if you get in a fight or someone's your victim of a crime you can survive by doing what they tell you to do. Maybe they won't kill you you think about this you kill them you're going to have to live with it. So you want me to say it's right , it's not so I'm not going to agree with you. Think about what you do before you decide to take a life. Now you might only have a few seconds to make that decision. But whatever decision you make you're going to have to live with for the rest of your life. Now if you defend your life and your family's life and the guy gives up , can you kill him you're a murderer, you deserve prison time.
The problem with weapons like cane, stick, baton, and bat is that it's okay if you just use it to scare away your opponent, but once you hit an opponent with it and the opponent isn't hit really hard, he will get angry, rush in, takes the weapon from you and hit you with it.
That same argument can be made for any method of self defense if one is not quick and hasn't practiced the technique or skill enough to be effective. No opponent is going to just let you get away with a soft strike or a weak grappling technique. Then again, street thugs are not usually trained in martial arts, are they? So, maybe just a show of force or resistance is enough to discourage the cowardly S.O.B., who knows, do you?
3:05 Different states have different laws. In Florida they have a stand your ground law where if you just feel like you are in danger from someone you can use deadly force.
If you actually want to use your cane for self defense then go and find a good Kali or Escrima school. All of the cane specialists I see seem to try to make things way to complicated. Stick fighting will teach you all you need to know about cane fighting.
Stick fighting is indeed at the base of using a cane for self defense, but use of the hooked handle with the pointy end is an addition that is well worth learning. Kali sticks are straight and totally lack this ability. Furthermore, the whole concept of using a walking cane for self defense is based on the fact that you can walk around with it in public for a seemingly innocent and legitimate purpose. Try walking around town with a couple of Kali sticks and explain to a cop what they are for.
+Eyal Levy Yep I agree that a cane is easier to walk around with unobtrusively. The problem with studying with cane masters is they seem to suffer from the same issue that a lot of TMA suffer from. They show lots of slow setup positions and techniques and include some drills. But they do not seem to encourage full speed testing. Kali and Escrima often have much more realistic sparring so will greatly increase your skill with the weapon. Any techniques using the hook are likely to be low percentage techniques so should be avoided in a dangerous situation. Stick with simple strikes from varying heights and angles. You may be able to pull off the hook techniques if you practice the cane for 5000 hours + but who has the time especially on top of other martial training.
here's a questions then: If you can do all this then what are you doing with a cane in the first place? If you are caught on camera doing these techniques I have a feeling the courts are going to be very curious as to why you even had a cane on you in the first place. It sucks but the courts ARE out to get us. They'll use this against you. It's always the good folks that get screwed by the courts and law makers. It's not like criminals follow the laws. It's a sad day when you cant use anything to assist you in a defensive situation that you DID NOT GO LOOKING FOR. Idc if the guy attacking you has access to a weapon or not. Not everyone is combat trained Law Enforcement or Military. We should be allowed to use any assistance we want to defend ourselves at that point , be it a cane, a knife, a machete, sword, gun, i dont honestly give a damn. This world has been flipped on it's head and nothing makes sense anymore!
There are dozens of reasons to carry a canemasters cane. And just smash and leave, dont hang around. "Oh officer - I was robbing an old guy and he smashed me with his cane" The police will laugh.
+ John W. Peterson Unless this guy is regularly pressure testing these techniques at full speed it IS bs. All martial arts are useless in real combat without regular pressure testing.
Concealed carry is always a good back up, as well as a having a dummy wallet or purse that has phoney money and phoney credit cards that you just hand over to the stupid idiot, who won't have time to examine the contents. The real goods you keep concealed, as in a belt designed for that purpose. Kapeesh?
Personally, I find crap like this appalling. This instructor is scamming these people into believing his choreographed routines will keep them safe. If anyone believes someone will throw one punch at you, out of reach from 6 feet away theyre delusional…let alone standing motionless with their extended arm while you dance around him with a stick
I quite agree with you. I made a similar comment above and here is one that I made on another of his videos: "I think the cane by virtue of the fact that 1) you can take it anywhere and 2) It hits very hard and is capable of breaking bone, is perhaps the ultimate Self Defense tool after a handgun. However, I'm sorry.The videos I have viewed online depicting the way most people seem to be teaching how to use the cane are ill advised. These joint locks around the arm or hooking the neck and the arm at the same time are overly complicated and will not work for most people under the stress of combat. I speak from experience. Not only have I been involved in the Martial arts for over 40 years, I was a Police Officer in the South Bronx with the NYPD for 15 years. I made over 500 arrests and assisted in a thousand more. During that time I was involved in more hand to hand combat with desperate criminals than most of the people passing themselves off as Self Defense experts. I disarmed people armed with knives, baseball bats and handguns, all without firing a shot. All I need to do is look at certain moves to know whether or not an instructor has real world experience. I recall seeing one video clip of Mr. Shuey at a seminar where he is showing a cane defense against a right punch. The defense consisted of "parrying" the punch with his left hand, with his right hand bringing the shaft of the cane up under the right arm of the assailant " supposedly breaking the shoulder" ( I doubt that will happen ) and then positioning it in such a way that by grasping the the other end of the shaft with his left hand he could exert great leverage on the assailant's right arm and take him down. Now there is no question that if you are able to get both hands on the cane in the position he shows, you will definitely have the leverage to take this person down. The problem with that particular technique is that you will never get there. The flaw is not in the use of the cane, but rather in the reliance on a single hand parry to stop the punch. Imagine if you will, Mr Shuey or someone his size attempting to pull off that technique against the Bruiser who seems to be his co-instructor on the video here. When that big guy throws his powerful right punch and you try to "parry" it with your left hand, the lights are going to go out for you. His hand / arm is going to crash right through that parry and take your head off and you will never get to the rest of the technique because a parry is simply not a powerful enough move to stop a punch from a powerful guy. Even a hard block can fail under such a blow. I also think many of these instructors overestimate how much pain they are delivering with their strikes and underestimating how much pain some individuals are capable of withstanding, especially if on drugs. Reliance on the infliction of pain alone is a mistake. And while a one handed whipping motion can generate speed and power, the rebound generated by a strike against a hard object like a skull or a shin could cause someone to loose control of the cane if they only have one hand on it. As a rookie, I once struck a man who chose to fight with me three times in the head with my night stick with one hand. The blows bounced off his head like a bat hitting a baseball and opened up his scalp right down to the skull requiring 40 stitches to close so you know he was hit hard. Yet, these three blows didn't seem to even slow him down. He rushed me and attempted to rip my service revolver from it's holster. Luckily my partner delivered a two handed baseball bat type strike to his wrist which foiled his plan and then backup arrived and he was cuffed. After that, I began using my martial arts knowledge and augmented my stick use with that. I got up to speed real fast and never came close to losing another fight again. Believe me when I tell you the best way to use a cane is to keep two hands on it about 22 inches apart like a night stick. You can jab and punch with from either side. Or you can hit one handed at the legs where it is difficult to grab. Once you've staggered or hurt the assailant you can hook a leg and take him down. Don't rely on inflicting pain alone. When you hit something, break it. You're fighting for your life. Hit the jaw? Break the jaw. Hit with the hook in the eye socket? Break the eye socket. Hit the knee? Shatter the knee so it can't support the bodyweight. Anything else as far as I'm concerned looks great at seminars and makes for great theater and demonstrations, but it's just playing games."
I agree. You should capitalize on surprising your unsuspecting opponent immediately with a severe blow to the head. Then follow up with either escaping or additional blows. Thinking I’m going to out dance an opponent is silly. This is why I invested in a solid aluminum bar cane, light enough to use daily and solid enough for defense.
Anyone worth a damn will tell you that the first and best form of self defence is to avoid confrontation. Avoid obvious times and places where confrontation might occur, especially where alcohol is involved. Even in my small home town in the UK, robbings and muggings by groups of people are becoming increasingly common, so I avoid going out alone at night. Taking in to account basic body mechanics, and the reality that real survival is swift, brutal and highly physical, unless you are at least able bodied to some extent, you should never even consider entering physical confrontation. I saw one video where this guy was teaching an old man who could barely stand, and a morbidly obese older lady...neither of these people could even muster the strength/momentum to even lightly injure an opponent. The worst thing about these bullshit artists is that they are teaching ineffective techniques to vulnerable people, who have no chance whatsoever of being able to defend themselves. There was one comment from a person who was effectively saying that he only had one leg that could support his weight, and he desperately wanted to know where he can study this. Major red flags are all over any demo that involves slow speed drills with compliant partners. Fortunately there is a rising kickback against ineffective arts, with people pressure testing "traditional" arts against MMA fighters and the like. I know MMA is a sport, but if you want to be able to defend yourself without use of a weapon, I think a decent background in boxing and/or muay thai is the most effective and realistic training you could get, and even then you'd be a fool to use it in the street unless it's an absolute last resort.
The cane can be used to strike as an effective weapon..However the stuff here shown is unrealistic and you would never be able to pull it off in real life..people move too fast for you to place such intricate techniques.
I’ll be sure to show this to my 78 year old grand dad. These fine motor skills are going to come in handy next time anyone dares to stick his karate punch in the air.

Being a 5th Dan,TKD, Krav Magaist, and JKDist I can say the best cane defense is called a Glock.

Well where i live any type of fire gun is prohibited
Your going to get sued if you keep teaching that . What your teaching is extremely hard to applicate , there is a lifetime of mental preparation just to get you to the point of discipline needed to become so fast by nature;it’s not a reality for all ,maybe one out of a lot and I mean a lot of people . And that one has no life ,other than what you are teaching . You are utilizing double the energy and leaving yourself vulnerable , let alone your students .
Self defense is to improve the quality of life for people , mentally and physically.
Another thing your not causing enough harm to the clavicle to stop a serious attacker,nor are you going to take out an eye with that cane .
Then to add sarcasm to the situation with a kiss ! I tell you this , that attitude alone will disqualify you from recruitment into combat effective units . When your preparing your students from experience there is no humor only concern to bring your students home alive , be careful Sir ! When I’m instructing,my attention is on my students ,the body language ,attention span , facial gestures , lateral eye movements . I’m embedding technique into there nature ,those concerns leave no room for your humorous mentality .

I have years of jujutsu/hapkido/TKD training, though not to your level. I get what you're saying, especially for America because there are some many sh*theads with guns out there I have also been a firearms instructor and deputy, and competed in USPSA/IDPA for almost 30 years (state IDPA production/SSP champ...whoopee! 😎). I have a CCW permit and carry at times (Glock, of course!). BUT-one can't always carry, and definitely not in all states or cities and never OCONUS. I want to broaden my skills like this, especially for travel when I can't CCW. Plus, I think that for too many gun-toting knuckleheads, this saying applies: "When all you have is a hammer (gun), everything looks like a nail (something to be shot)." You just can't shoot every threat, and in fact IMO in about 80-90% of situations, you'd better NOT shoot. I prefer to have more tools in my toolbox, and will add a cane with training soon. FWIW
After watching this video, my grandfather wont stop beating me.

a cane or a walking stick really is practical because you can take it with you anywhere, and in an emergency at least you have a chance to keep someone at bay, while you escape.
And Grand Cane Master Mark Shuey has proven it in actual self-defense situations over and over again. learn so much from him.
In several states, a walking stick isn't considered a medical device and you just broke the law by using it as a weapon. A Cane is a Cane. Period.

You might want to include some specifics. For example the exact number of States and a couple of examples? Say this because I’ve heard that a cane is considered a medical device and can be carried without exception.
@@Atyrsvc1
I’ve tried to verify what you have said and can’t find a single example of such. If the cane is weighted, or contains a bladed weapon, well, yeah, they’re sometimes illegal. But the cane this guy is using?
No body leaves their arm out that long for you to throw them. These moves are out date it. Good stuff for the movies
These ideas are great for the movies👍
Thank you. beautiful. Just the stuff to bring to an end an aggressive attack. The cane would be seen as a weakness to most dull trouble makers. cheers.
Some more fantastic fantasy martial arts
Have you studied any MA? If you have, you didn't learn anything. My old jujitsu Shihan was a cane master like this, and was attacked by four young gangsters. He put them down in seconds, and several went to the hospital. Short staff, long staff, escrima...many styles use stick weapons. The cane is an evolution to it, and one you can carry legally.
So many experts on youtube. I met Sheuy at a martial arts conference (bantu hall of fame or something in cleveland) . Down to earth, nice guy. Readily admitted "he'd trade 10 years of martial arts for gun with kung fu written on the side". Yall are shameful making these comments having never trained with him.
THis is Martial art, -> Phantasybased and not self defense. Anyone disagreeing?
Many years ago when I had hair and drank I made my living as a bouncer in Amarillo Texas at joints on the Boulevard. I was taught to fight with a pool que and pool bars. Slapping a drunk with the thin end of the que on the side of the knee would get them on the ground. The thing was to get them down, get them up and then get them out. We faught in pairs. One with the que the other with a pool bar. If the beligerant did not get the message your partner taped them on the too of the head with the pool ball.
No timple hits as this could be fatal. Top of the head they would drop like a sack of potatoes. If somebody went stupid we woyld would be opening the exit doors with them an half a minute.
Don't frequent these places any more so don't know if they still have bouncers. On a good Saturday night we would escort maybe a dozen drunks out. No body knew or understood the partner aspect of bouncing. Tying into a drunk by yourself could get you hurt.
Why grapple when you can strike with it ?
This is good stuff. I have spoken to Mark about building me a cane. I hope to go to Reno for one-on-one instruction (I have years of jujutsu/hapkido/TKD training).
One of the telltale signs of Bullshido is self defense scenarios where only a single punch is thrown by the attacker. There are so many flaws here. If you have a cane or stick, don’t waste time with this stuff.
The cane is not a grappling device any more than my BO staff.
If you are forced to trap or joint lock an aggressor, something went very wrong.
Remember, the best fight is the one you never have.
Holy moly. My little dog would be afraid to walk with me!
I only have one leg. I use an iwalk 2.0 strap-on crutch for a leg. I don't have much balance to work with anymore. I can still use some of what you teach: thank you!
Mark Shuey told me years ago that they are banning knob handle canes. Still waiting on that...
I watched the video and I read most of the comments.
I have to think that the only way any of these moves would work is if you spent a great deal of time training and practicing.
Next I have to agree that an attack is going to come so quickly that you are lucky to get out of the way and simply swing your cane to keep some distance between yourself and an attacker. After that it is going to be whatever you can strike or simply keep him at bay.
A cane is a good weapon that does not draw any unwanted attention.
You don't need to actually need it and if you do then for sure it is going to be difficult to use it in a real life situation.
Grasshopper, when you snatch pebble from my hand you must leave, tank u.
main point , it will not get YOU arrested for defending yourself
Jon Tron opened my eyes to the world of Cane Fu
Ah yes another one who started from jontron
I successfully defended myself with a walking stick when attacked by a crazed junkie, luckily for me my cane was actually a 410 poachers gun...job done...:)
So you killed someone, was it self defense or a bunch of bollocks from your imagination?
could we use a zimmer frame if theres 2 assailants?
moves good for someone who need a cane if you can't walk good an need the technique how are you going to use them
AIl of that stuff realllly works..
..in a DEMO.
ANYONE who's done any kind of fighting knows how fast a jab comes at you. Its in and out in a flash. That's why its the first line of defense in boxing.
If you are using a candidate you will not be able to move fast enough to do these techniques against a live opponent. If you were able, you wouldn't even nerd a cane period
Very true
Great in slow motion and you know where the punch is coming from if that person was mad you would never have a chance with that Technique
Your oversimplification shows your limited mental abilities. You seem to ignore things like feints and two-armed techniques...(one to fake, one to strike). "If you were able, you wouldn't even nerd a cane period" Some folks AREN'T 100% ABLE, or else they wouldn't be using a cane. Some of us are elderly, or permanently (if slightly) damaged. Both of my shoulders are weakened from years of abuse and the right one from 3 rotator-cuff tears, none of which were ever healed properly. Some folks use them FOR REAL, (i.e. assist to walk) and using them for self-defense is a bonus. Educate yourself, learn to think a bit more broadly, and then put your ego back on the leash, OK?
all of that stuff was designed for actual fighting on the streets with unassuming weapons that was the whole point
do you really think people werent throwing punches as quickly as they could back then????
Most idiots on the street aren't trained boxers or fighters. Maybe this wouldn't work on Mike Tyson, but on many idiots it will.
Has anyone ever seen a punch blocked like He is blocking them here. Neither Have I. Don't mean to be rude but have an issue with someone teach self defense that isn't practical. Most of the cane stuff demonstrated requires more precision than would work on the street. Looks great for studio demonstrations but thats all.
Well, Patrick, you have a point. I believe in the KISS principle, too, but, then again zombies, junkies, and other undisciplined guttermench don't usually take up martial arts. As you should know, most martial arts are not practical in the street or combat, which is why Krav Maga, Comrac Bas, or hand-to-hand combat that uses only large body movements are the time tested systems of choice.
Everything you are showing, is designed not to actually hurt anyone.
Fast sword type chops to any part of the attackers body while gaining distance. Blocking any punch is not effecting. Eyes throat groin collar bone. I come from a long direct lineage of Muso jo combat. Martial Art combat is very easy. A handful if that of techniques is all one needs.
1:53 what does he pay his opponent not to use his left arm while he tries to weave a knot in his right arm?
Don't you know? His dummy student pays him
In the position he is, it'd be very uncomfortable or impossible to reach over to jab into him, a hook or cross is unlikely. It's supposed to be in a quick pace too.
is there a walker system as well?
Wow, there's another business opportunity. Check back in six months and this guy will be marketing it!
Yep, the system comes with walker mounted Gatling guns, and is also rocket propelled for quick escape
All these techniques are really good ,BUT They are KALI and ESCRIMA Techniques , Useing a CANE is a good idea , BUT DON'T PRETEND YOU MADE IT ALL UP BRO.
S0S agreed I trained with GT Leo Gaje T William McGrath and Tom Bisio. we learned dozens of edged and blunt disarms Watch how fast I'll take that cane away from him
YOU ARE RIGHT. I KNOW THE ESCRIMA TEACHER THAT TAUGHT HIM THESE TECNHIQUE AND THEN HE BUILD A CANE BUSINESS.
He stole this from FMA? Not exactly. Good escrima/Arnis/kali is way better than this complicated, showy and impractical garbage. This stuff is pura mierda.
Please don't insult Eskrima by comparing it to this. The Eskrima I train is simple, strong and effective. This is ....not.
Yall do know about canne de combat...right? It's a historical french martial art....using a cane...
Also, most stickfighting styles have a MASSIVE crossover. Bataireacht, Arnis, gatka, donga, etc...
thanks friend
It's too bad for these 'grand masters' that attackers in real life situations actually move quickly. I would be a master too if my assailants stood still.
The last time I thought I was going to have to use my cane, my 50 lb Aussie took care of him.
He bit the inside of this big dude's thigh !
I called Jake back to a heel and the tough guy got back in his truck and left.
All sort of OK.
Who actually declared him to be a Grandmaster?
Not saying he isn't.
Just wondering.
All very good techniques for a compliant opponent.
I don't believe most of these techniques would work . I have found in real world experience simplicity is King.
Muscle memory of proven techniques can’t hurt but it’s not magic either.
@J Fizzy Always nice to know a few tricks...👍😉
@J Fizzy AMEN!
You are soooo correct , swinging sticks around at people is going to get you trouble especially if you can't back it up once stick has gone walkabout.
Very good, thank you very much
Have you checked out SOBREVEVINCIA?? It's similar to this with more emphasis on control-- sort of like a "cane-aikido".... I'd love your opinion on that...
I promise, i will never mess with an elderly with a cane, ever again.
You only really have to be afraid of the elderly guy who doesn't walk with a limp. if the elderly guy walks with a limp you probably actually needs the cane, but you still shouldn't mess with him because then you'd be an asshole for messing with a crippled old guy
Bon travail !
I Haven't seen anyone use these complicated techniques for defence.
And you won't either!
I have. It's actually really cool. However, nowadays, most people don't like using canes anymore like the earlier time so it will be the rarest thing ever seen.
I haven't either, but then again I haven't seen anyone use cane techniques before. I love learning something new every day, don't you?
…On September 2, 1901, United States Vice President Theodore Roosevelt outlined his ideal foreign policy in a speech at the Minnesota State Fair in Falcon Heights, Minnesota: “Speak softly, and carry a big stick.” Two weeks later, Roosevelt became president and “Big Stick diplomacy” defined his leadership…….
Without having too much experience, I do feel like there's some stuff that needs to be talked about. That double leg shin sweep by getting around behind them is bs, plain and simple. Who is going to stand there and let you crouch behind them? Nobody. But the strike to the shin? That's effective. Just imagine how much that would hurt. The joint locks are all viable, but impractical. They are eacrima teqniques and most likely you won't need the full lock, the shattered arm or shin will be sufficient. In conclusion, I would say that this demo falls victim to the classic "let me show the flashy shit" that all demos do. Don't call the cane fighting system fake though, because if you replace cane with baseball bat or sword, you can see it being incredibly dangerous, so the cane is also a great weapon. But don't try to crouch behind your oponant and sweep the leg, that's fucking stupid
It's a demo, think about it. I've poked fun at techniques too and been confused as to how I wound up in a given position...by those same techniques.
The whole thing is ridiculous.
Actually, the cane works if applied properly.
From the beginning with the will to do extreme damage!
This ist not sport with katas and randori, or perfect gentlemanly behaviour.
Self-defense means just that: get rid of an attacker as fast and hard as possible!!
These "Hollywood" techniques have their place but they are not self-defense techniques due to the time it takes to do them; if you're need a cane then you probably won't be able to move like this; Michael Janich's techniques are pure and simply practical.
Plus, he also fails to tell you that you need softening up strikes before trying these locks.
@@KaptainCanuck My pekiti tersia teachers have said the same. ''Never go for a lock til you've given a blow''
he'll be inducted to the prison system - a guy coming in at him, "you can do this and kill em" - that's a bit harsh dude..... i think breaking his arm, or even legs are more than enough..., "you cant beat them while they are on the ground, you have to let them go if they dont get up... i wouldn't though".... dude, are you even listening to yourself??
the laws are just fine, i'm guessing most criminals would probabbly regret things immediately after the first few bones shatter... perspective man, just sayin
A bit harsh? I think not. If your going to attack someone, they should be prepared to die. Some of us carry guns.
Self defence for the less able. There should be more of it.
No, watch this video again, listen to his explanation of techniques, take a close watch to his feet and then ask yourself the next question: why does someone have a cane? The answer on this question make this McDojo straight away.
@@jpsholland If you have a cane in the hand, and the opponent nothing, you need no funny tricks from this "grandmaster".
I wish you will have over 100 Street fight´s with this technik to feel secure !
Awesome!!!!!
Problem here is the fact that most of the time you won't realise your going to be attacked until the person attacking you is six inches or less from you. Even if you have some martial art ability it's usually too late anyway. You put your glass down to punch someone the professional just puts the glass in your face.

Upon a quick search I could also not find a single video of him in any competition that actually involved sparring in anyway. Just videos of him swinging that cane at the air. This man is a con artist.
The basic is stick / cane is a distance weapon. If the attacker gets close to you it's useless because then you are fighting for control of the cane. The simplest and most effective thing to day is to control the distance and beat the shit out of the attacker with the cane. PUre and simple no joint locks , no trips just bludgeon .
You are correct.
I've practiced martial arts since 1962.
If you have to grapple with the staff or cane something went wrong.
Joints and locks are BS.
Absurdly ineffective. Untrealistic counterstriking and then grappling with your stick..
If one have to grapple with a cane something went wrong.
The cane is an impact weapon not a grappling weapon.
Anybody can call themselves a Grandmaster now. Well, I am a Grandoctor in cane fighting. That’s higher than a Grandmaster.
This old guy is showing fantasy. He cannot have enough force one-handed to hit someone in the arm with that lightweight cane and break a bone. Break a bone? One can hit someone with a pipe and maybe, maybe break a bone. I'm an ex-cop, jiu jitsue black belt, I graduated the Koga baton course and I used it many times, 9:40 had a few hundred street fights using hands, 25 private ones , 1 only one walks away. I can tell this guy is just another you tube fantasy " martial arts master" . Safe bet: He has probably never been in a real fight. He trues that nonsense with a gangbanger of today and he'll find a new reality.
The canes were originally given to disabled people in hospitals in New York back in 2003. Many of techniques used have been around for decades. You need to practice basic approach to protect yourself with this cane. You can't do a side kick to the knee instead snap the cane to their knee can bring them down.
Il s'agit d'un art martial français!

How do you keep the opponent from grabbing your cane?
Look here th-cam.com/video/hUivkfOZ9zo/w-d-xo.html
As with anything, you gotta be quick.
I'm 70 yrs old, a student of Grnd Tuhon Leo Gaje, Tuhon W Mcgrath and Tom Bisio, in pekiti tersia, I can do more damage with a ball point pen.
The one crucial aspect you never learnt was respect, de-fanging the snake my arse he would smash your skull into pulp with one blow, Please ask your Tuhon and he would tell you to shut your stupid mouth.
I have a 5 to 6 foot range with a cane the pen maybe only 2 inches more than your arm
😅 A 3-foot long pen? LOL
I'm a martial artist myself, I know you might laugh at this but I'll have seen the karate kid about 10 times, and I believe too and about preserving life. The only time you should ever take a life, or maybe anybody I'll think about it you shouldn't hurt anyone or break their arm or gouge them or doing anything that's going to cause them any hurt, if you can avoid it now of course injuries in a fight can't be stopped this is true, people are going to get black guys busted lips, but to go out of your way intentionally in a fight you are going to have injuries it can't be avoided now to take a cane or any type of martial art to have an intention to intentionally just figure someone name them so they can't walk away from it. And I've been in plenty of fights myself alone if you hit someone hard enough you dominate the fight and they give up, let me say that again and they give up think about it sometimes people get where they have enough. But you take a weapon to intentionally disfigure them, then you're wrong. And I'm right and I know it. And I know those people is going to read this who's going to agree with me who agrees? You can win a fight, and cause minimum damage. And both of you walk away. Now the only time, and I mean the only time understand me because reading that you can't hear my voice and you can't see my anger, understand the only time you have a right and it's not necessarily a right to take someone's life as if your life is in jeopardy and even then. If you beat him up and he gives up and then you decide to just kill him that's murder. So to all you wash the artist I pray to God God plays on your conscience cuz you better not decide after it's over with to just kill it cuz that's murder. Don't let your anger take over and you end up killing somebody in your regret. Then you deserve to go to jail you deserve to go to prison. I want these teachers who think this way to rethink it because you can want to fight, you can't save your life and preserve life and both of you walk away. The last thought think about this carry two or three cell phones hide your money on you somewhere else. Anyone who's willing to commit a crime with enough or gun. Or willing to do anything so unless you feel that your life is in danger better for you to comply and someone getting out of there car and being nothing with you stay in your car lock your doors tucked down if you have to and put it in gear and then speed off and duck down they might miss. And drive and go to the police station or call the police as you're getting towards police station or some deputies. Go home and call the police and tell them what happened. No one in any more shots or any type unless they think their life is in danger even if it is in danger has no right really to take anyone's life only God Almighty has that right. So don't be judge jury and execution, the American people and movies have made a joke out of martial arts and what it stands for which one of you have a right to take life. Why is your life more valuable . I'm trying to get you to understand be careful what you do even if you think you're right, you're wrong besides this man's preaching we have bad loss maybe but we have lost to protect people. Why should that person or did you wrong not deserve to have his life. Maybe he was on drugs maybe it's drinking, so if you get in a fight or someone's your victim of a crime you can survive by doing what they tell you to do. Maybe they won't kill you you think about this you kill them you're going to have to live with it. So you want me to say it's right , it's not so I'm not going to agree with you. Think about what you do before you decide to take a life. Now you might only have a few seconds to make that decision. But whatever decision you make you're going to have to live with for the rest of your life. Now if you defend your life and your family's life and the guy gives up , can you kill him you're a murderer, you deserve prison time.
Dang Seagal has lost a lot of weight!
Most people don't realize it but a good quality hard wood cane can be a nasty self defence weapon.
It will never be a weapon or every hospital and physiotherapy clinic will need to register them. A cane is a medical device.
The problem with weapons like cane, stick, baton, and bat is that it's okay if you just use it to scare away your opponent, but once you hit an opponent with it and the opponent isn't hit really hard, he will get angry, rush in, takes the weapon from you and hit you with it.
By that logic, when he hits you, you should be able to do the same. Then its a race to unconsciousness trading the weapon back and forth right?
That same argument can be made for any method of self defense if one is not quick and hasn't practiced the technique or skill enough to be effective. No opponent is going to just let you get away with a soft strike or a weak grappling technique. Then again, street thugs are not usually trained in martial arts, are they? So, maybe just a show of force or resistance is enough to discourage the cowardly S.O.B., who knows, do you?
@@jagerbluetooth43 thats funny lol
The cane is a Hanbo with an attitude because of the hook.

Thank you grand master.
3:05 Different states have different laws. In Florida they have a stand your ground law where if you just feel like you are in danger from someone you can use deadly force.
Provide him with weapon of choice (instigator w/weapon)
Try that style on Mike Tyson or The Rock
If you actually want to use your cane for self defense then go and find a good Kali or Escrima school. All of the cane specialists I see seem to try to make things way to complicated. Stick fighting will teach you all you need to know about cane fighting.
We live in the Bruce Lee bashing era, but in the end he was right. Like you say, cut all sophisticated moves form your art and you win.
Stick fighting is indeed at the base of using a cane for self defense, but use of the hooked handle with the pointy end is an addition that is well worth learning. Kali sticks are straight and totally lack this ability. Furthermore, the whole concept of using a walking cane for self defense is based on the fact that you can walk around with it in public for a seemingly innocent and legitimate purpose. Try walking around town with a couple of Kali sticks and explain to a cop what they are for.
+Eyal Levy
Yep I agree that a cane is easier to walk around with unobtrusively. The problem with studying with cane masters is they seem to suffer from the same issue that a lot of TMA suffer from.
They show lots of slow setup positions and techniques and include some drills. But they do not seem to encourage full speed testing. Kali and Escrima often have much more realistic sparring so will greatly increase your skill with the weapon.
Any techniques using the hook are likely to be low percentage techniques so should be avoided in a dangerous situation. Stick with simple strikes from varying heights and angles. You may be able to pull off the hook techniques if you practice the cane for 5000 hours + but who has the time especially on top of other martial training.
I think Kutulue gets it in a nutshell.
@@VestigialHeadThank you I trained with Grand Tuhon Leo Gaje, Tuhon Billy McGrath and Tom Bisio....that's all

What do I do with the cane while I am pulling my gun out?

Use it to pull the trigger using the cane-handle.
Whichever one you choose to use, be quick as a bunny.
They don't teach defending the cane...thats another $$$ lesson
Never use the hook of the cane, if the guy is heavier than you he might be able to take the cane.. so just hit with it, and walk away
The only way for this to work is to move at least 2 or 3 times faster than the other guy. If you can do that, you probably don't need the cane.
This doesnt seem very practical. Lol I think it would be very difficult to use this in an actual defense situation.
What is the average age of the students, 30? I'm 64.75.
here's a questions then: If you can do all this then what are you doing with a cane in the first place? If you are caught on camera doing these techniques I have a feeling the courts are going to be very curious as to why you even had a cane on you in the first place. It sucks but the courts ARE out to get us. They'll use this against you. It's always the good folks that get screwed by the courts and law makers. It's not like criminals follow the laws. It's a sad day when you cant use anything to assist you in a defensive situation that you DID NOT GO LOOKING FOR. Idc if the guy attacking you has access to a weapon or not. Not everyone is combat trained Law Enforcement or Military. We should be allowed to use any assistance we want to defend ourselves at that point , be it a cane, a knife, a machete, sword, gun, i dont honestly give a damn. This world has been flipped on it's head and nothing makes sense anymore!
There are dozens of reasons to carry a canemasters cane.

That kiss of death is deadly for the ego... 🤣
Contrary to this, what I have taught for many years, is designed to grievously hurt or kill.
what happens if you leave your cane at home
Concealed carry is always a good back up, as well as a having a dummy wallet or purse that has phoney money and phoney credit cards that you just hand over to the stupid idiot, who won't have time to examine the contents. The real goods you keep concealed, as in a belt designed for that purpose. Kapeesh?
Personally, I find crap like this appalling. This instructor is scamming these people into believing his choreographed
routines will keep them safe. If anyone believes someone will throw one punch at you, out of reach from 6 feet away theyre delusional…let alone standing motionless with their extended arm while you dance around him with a stick
I quite agree with you. I made a similar comment above and here is one that I made on another of his videos:
"I think the cane by virtue of the fact that 1) you can take it anywhere and 2) It hits very hard and is capable of breaking bone, is perhaps the ultimate Self Defense tool after a handgun. However, I'm sorry.The videos I have viewed online depicting the way most people seem to be teaching how to use the cane are ill advised. These joint locks around the arm or hooking the neck and the arm at the same time are overly complicated and will not work for most people under the stress of combat. I speak from experience. Not only have I been involved in the Martial arts for over 40 years, I was a Police Officer in the South Bronx with the NYPD for 15 years. I made over 500 arrests and assisted in a thousand more. During that time I was involved in more hand to hand combat with desperate criminals than most of the people passing themselves off as Self Defense experts. I disarmed people armed with knives, baseball bats and handguns, all without firing a shot.
All I need to do is look at certain moves to know whether or not an instructor has real world experience. I recall seeing one video clip of Mr. Shuey at a seminar where he is showing a cane defense against a right punch. The defense consisted of "parrying" the punch with his left hand, with his right hand bringing the shaft of the cane up under the right arm of the assailant " supposedly breaking the shoulder" ( I doubt that will happen ) and then positioning it in such a way that by grasping the the other end of the shaft with his left hand he could exert great leverage on the assailant's right arm and take him down. Now there is no question that if you are able to get both hands on the cane in the position he shows, you will definitely have the leverage to take this person down. The problem with that particular technique is that you will never get there. The flaw is not in the use of the cane, but rather in the reliance on a single hand parry to stop the punch.
Imagine if you will, Mr Shuey or someone his size attempting to pull off that technique against the Bruiser who seems to be his co-instructor on the video here. When that big guy throws his powerful right punch and you try to "parry" it with your left hand, the lights are going to go out for you. His hand / arm is going to crash right through that parry and take your head off and you will never get to the rest of the technique because a parry is simply not a powerful enough move to stop a punch from a powerful guy. Even a hard block can fail under such a blow.
I also think many of these instructors overestimate how much pain they are delivering with their strikes and underestimating how much pain some individuals are capable of withstanding, especially if on drugs. Reliance on the infliction of pain alone is a mistake. And while a one handed whipping motion can generate speed and power, the rebound generated by a strike against a hard object like a skull or a shin could cause someone to loose control of the cane if they only have one hand on it. As a rookie, I once struck a man who chose to fight with me three times in the head with my night stick with one hand. The blows bounced off his head like a bat hitting a baseball and opened up his scalp right down to the skull requiring 40 stitches to close so you know he was hit hard. Yet, these three blows didn't seem to even slow him down. He rushed me and attempted to rip my service revolver from it's holster. Luckily my partner delivered a two handed baseball bat type strike to his wrist which foiled his plan and then backup arrived and he was cuffed. After that, I began using my martial arts knowledge and augmented my stick use with that. I got up to speed real fast and never came close to losing another fight again.
Believe me when I tell you the best way to use a cane is to keep two hands on it about 22 inches apart like a night stick. You can jab and punch with from either side. Or you can hit one handed at the legs where it is difficult to grab. Once you've staggered or hurt the assailant you can hook a leg and take him down. Don't rely on inflicting pain alone. When you hit something, break it. You're fighting for your life. Hit the jaw? Break the jaw. Hit with the hook in the eye socket? Break the eye socket. Hit the knee? Shatter the knee so it can't support the bodyweight. Anything else as far as I'm concerned looks great at seminars and makes for great theater and demonstrations, but it's just playing games."

: Best comment ever on unrealistic self defense shows.
I agree. You should capitalize on surprising your unsuspecting opponent immediately with a severe blow to the head. Then follow up with either escaping or additional blows. Thinking I’m going to out dance an opponent is silly. This is why I invested in a solid aluminum bar cane, light enough to use daily and solid enough for defense.
lovehorrordotde Thank you for the compliment.
Anyone worth a damn will tell you that the first and best form of self defence is to avoid confrontation. Avoid obvious times and places where confrontation might occur, especially where alcohol is involved.
Even in my small home town in the UK, robbings and muggings by groups of people are becoming increasingly common, so I avoid going out alone at night.
Taking in to account basic body mechanics, and the reality that real survival is swift, brutal and highly physical, unless you are at least able bodied to some extent, you should never even consider entering physical confrontation.
I saw one video where this guy was teaching an old man who could barely stand, and a morbidly obese older lady...neither of these people could even muster the strength/momentum to even lightly injure an opponent.
The worst thing about these bullshit artists is that they are teaching ineffective techniques to vulnerable people, who have no chance whatsoever of being able to defend themselves.
There was one comment from a person who was effectively saying that he only had one leg that could support his weight, and he desperately wanted to know where he can study this.
Major red flags are all over any demo that involves slow speed drills with compliant partners.
Fortunately there is a rising kickback against ineffective arts, with people pressure testing "traditional" arts against MMA fighters and the like. I know MMA is a sport, but if you want to be able to defend yourself without use of a weapon, I think a decent background in boxing and/or muay thai is the most effective and realistic training you could get, and even then you'd be a fool to use it in the street unless it's an absolute last resort.
The cane can be used to strike as an effective weapon..However the stuff here shown is unrealistic and you would never be able to pull it off in real life..people move too fast for you to place such intricate techniques.
Well, this system is definitely not for slowmos.
@@Stukablitzen and not for reality
Almost impossible to apply those takedowns, nicely done though
