Be Your Own First Responder: Walking Stick Self Defense

[@VTPSTTU]

This weapon looks very elegant. I walked today, but I wasn't able to do much else. I was really feeling the sickness today.

I've carried my walking stick, made from pecan tree, for years now. I originally made the stick for my elderly mother who used it when she went walking. After she passed away I now use it all the time and never leave the house anymore without it. I've even taken this stick into court with me and police stations, banks, and many other places I would never be allowed to bring even my pocket knife. But they see my walking stick and think nothing of it. It definitely gives me a sense of security and self confidence that I might otherwise not have. One point of contention however. The thugs who set fires and loot businesses are not as you called them, " Protesters. The actual Protesters are voicing their constitutional given right to confront government or other institutions who they feel have wronged them. They also want public support. Looting and burning would be counter productive to that end. The criminals who take advantage of anything, including protest, are nothing more than opportunistic predators. The same people who come out during any disaster. They are definitely not Protesters anymore than a hurricane is just because these predators take advantage of the situation.

Thank you for sharing the story about your pecan stick! I agree that “protestors” is the wrong term. Thugs and criminals are a much better fit. I believe in free speech and the right to protest and be heard. Thank you for pointing that out David!

Fear the youth is the #2 point I'm hearing in most of your videos.

Great I am practicing the 20 soburi with the jo regularly and it has a good effect on health, strength and self confidence. Would like to visit your dojo once. I am living in Germany.

[@pasquinilli]

I would love to have you visit! I’ll visit Germany again too. There are many great martial artists there.

How long the stick should use brother?

[@paulcarter2388]

What is the diameter of this job?

[@pasquinilli]

About one inch.

[@gregknightstemplar]

Hi Matt is the Cain master 48 in. I saw some but they are a little to short at 42 in.

[@pasquinilli]

He will make it to any length you ask. The one he made for me is 54 inches. He is also working on a Bo at 6 feet. So just let him know what you want and he will custom make it for you and keep the price reasonable

[@gregknightstemplar]

$99.00 with tax

[@pasquinilli]

Yes. It is higher than martial arts store staffs, but no comparison in quality. Hand made here in the USA by wood craftsman who understands how to replenish and rejuvenate the wood before it is worked and sealed. The martial arts store staffs are dried out to prevent rot and sealed that way. So they break very easily. I just got done working out with my new jo this morning. Very much worth the price!
