it is valuable to understand this while young enough to practice it for when we are old enough to need it.

Hey, Joe and Doc!

The dark colored one looks great. I have been thinking about buying a cold steel axe head but this looks more comfortable and functional.

This is a remarkable art!

Just like in a gunfight- the best one-- is the one you have and can use!!!!

I love your passion.

I'm enjoying SV, but your sound quality is muddy. For both this and ACSD, please use a lapel mike. The sound quality inside (where there is an echo) or outside (with wind and road noise) is poor when you use the camera mike. More sound clarity, please. Especially for those of us who are older and whose hearing is not sharp or discriminating as it used to be.

That's a good point that @tooth-less tiger makes, so to follow up, do we have gun disarms?

I'm a monk at the Shaolin Temple in Westland, MI, and I have to say that I find this whole concept of learning online to be fascinating, and full of possibilities!

I live on the south side of Detroit, and normally people come at you in groups of three!

Excellent stuff!

I have a back prod at L4/5 and nerve pain that can hit any, so I keep a Cain handy. Haven't tried flying with it yet

I'm really looking forward to this!

This is really great stuff!

This is just plain brilliant!

I really like this!

I love the naturalness of the movements!

I agree, fantastic content!

I second that! It's a great program!

In the UK having anything in you possession that could be used as a self defence weapon such as a Pocket knife (even with the permitted 3 inch blade) even a sharp pencil when questioned by the Police 'do you consider this a weapon?' and you admit to carrying it for self defence you are in trouble. A knife is a 'tool' a pencil is to write with but I have wondered if a 'Medical Aid' with knurled grips and machined edges (Cane Masters) and a nasty pointy end to the crook might be stretching things a bit far. A tightly rolled up Newspaper can be used as a thrusting weapon. When I thought I was being followed at night in a foreign country I picked a newspaper out of a bin and rolled it up. Again for thrusting at vital parts not for smacking someone over the head with! Luckily I did not have to use it, couldn't read it either as it was printed in Arabic.

Me too!!

I have several years of training in stick/sword arts and an Aikido derivative style. I find SV quite intriguing, ACSD less so. Is it possible to study the former without the latter as a prerequisite? Thanks!

I love this-- TenShin Aikido is ONE of my 5 black belt arts.. 4th degree and higher in each one... and I've notieced a LOT of them just from the casual videos on here. I'm working on an income ot supplement my SS which isn't enough to cover monthly expenses and when I get one going- I'll sign up. Is it paid MONTHLY, quarterly or is yearly required?

Thanks for sharing your hard work

Training always trumps The Tool. Whatever that tool may be. Be strong in principles, and everything else will naturally fall into place

Totally agree on outdoor training. Been an active martial artist since 1980. And have always gotten so much when training outdoors.

"Images and emotions are more powerful than facts." That is a jewel and a great observation of some elements, both positive and challenging, of human dicipline and malleability.

These topics are very helpful! 8👣🕗✅

Where attention goes--energy flows-- focus on the problem and get MORE problem....focus on the solution- fix it and go...

Are these techniques taught on the video series available on the cane masters website?

I think focusing on multiple attackers is historically meaningful, but don’t forget most of us will be facing a single opponent and the footwork for parry/suppress/ escape is the one most encountered and perhaps more important

Thank you for sharing your skills 😊

i agree, Disengage, deescalate escape defend is preferred, but sometimes using other strike techniques is all you have… better to have both !

Thanks Joe. Always good material to help us along!

because I was smart enough to get a doctor put it in my medical record

Thanks, Professor. Good stuff. Resetting the autonomics through breathing!

Excellent

Love these Caner Tip Tuesdays!

Excellent! Thank you!

ANYONE INTERESTED IN SOBREVIVENCIA SHOULD SIGN UP FOR THE SV ACCELERATOR PROGRAM. IT IS SO RICH IN CONTENT, AND DEEPLY INSPIRING AND FULFILLING. MASTER JOE EXPLAINS ALL ASPECTS IN BITE SIZED PIECES. IT IS A MUST FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE SELF DEFENSE ARTS.

"Daily Empowerment Session", yes I would definitely like more of that.

Good video thank you. 😊

Excellent - Thank You!

What length is the cane & I assume it can be shortened? Also, weight? Tip diameter?

Thank you, Joe, for these little tips! Every nugget helps!

Defence based on simple natural movements are best. Easy to learn AND apply. Looking forward to part 2.

Excellent techniques

I watch these vids because I love seeing the Principles shown...most arts don't do that. I WILL be taking this-- soon as my income allows.. but on $880 a month- it's HARD..

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

It would be good to see the footwork too, that is very important.
