Cane self defense and a few things they don't talk about.

It's important to learn how to defend yourself in any situation, and one tool that can be particularly useful is a walking cane. Not only can it provide support and stability while walking, but it can also be a formidable weapon if needed. Learning how to use a cane for self-defense can give you an added sense of confidence and security, and can help you feel more prepared to handle any potential dangers that may come your way. Plus, it's empowering to know that you have the ability to protect yourself and those around you if necessary. So don't underestimate the power of a walking cane - it's more than just a simple accessory, it's a valuable tool for self-defense.

Good starting vid. Training is key for self defense with a cane. Saw a vid on NYC subway, 90 year old woman tried to defend against man attacking her, hit at him with the hook end of her cane, he grabbed it, yanked it away from her and proceeded to beat her with her own cane for the next 2 minutes of the vid. Naturally, in NYC NOBODY came to her aid.

Like George, I am also a Navy Vet. I love the idea of using the cane, it includes many short staff techniques. Please continue along this line.

[@gusgates7401]

thank you for your service and yes i will have a video coming out soon.

Love your channel, not fanboy but it’s just always practical. 71 don’t actually need a cane but at my age can walk about with one.

[@gusgates7401]

Thank you, David. The cane is fun, even if you don't need it. Some people even translate it into a walking stick. Thank you for the great comment.

Write to me the characteristics of a cane for self-defense: thickness (diameter of the cane shaft), bending radius of the cane hook, its length and what to make such a cane from.

Very cool, this is very practical. Thank you

[@johnhayward8291]

How can you judge this as good , you have no idea what you're talking about. Quit hero worshiping, put some work in & find the real deal !!! Kissing ass is not an attractive attrabute

[@00788]

What happened if they grad your cane instead of try and strike you!

[@alexblue6991]

The death penalty for criminals you wouldn't need a cane for self defence problem solved

[@johnhayward8291]

Run RUN fast & far !!! There are very few people on you tube who know what the hell there doing with a cane ! This guy is not one of them. Go find the real deal, you`ll know when you find them. I`ve got 60 yrs. Exp. With real fighting w/ a cane sticks etc. I no longer teach. You need to put in the work to find them! You will be glad you did.

[@thomasnugent3836]

Guys, Very informative. I totally agree that blocks are extremely important. Not getting hit or grabbed is more important than the counter attack.

[@gusgates7401]

Thank you

I LIKE it 🙏☯️

[@robintropper660]

Thanks for doing these! I'm a veteran of the Canadian Army Reserves .... a dinky musician! ... but since the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa in 2022, I became member of Veterans for Freedom and have taken much more interest in veterans things. QUESTION: I recently hurt my back and found that using a junior hockey stick was really useful for getting around and getting up and down with my tiny puppies. But it's taller than a cane: the pallet is under my armpit rather than belt level. Could you do a comparison video on how that would affect self-defense use?

[@gusgates7401]

Thank you for the great comment on the video and thank you for your service. I will definitely look into something like this.

[@jsrungood2137]

Can you show how to defend when your cane has a Cane Master's palm rest on it and you walk with the horn tip facing forward.

[@gusgates7401]

Good idea let me look into a video for that.

[@rapunzelz5520]

I’m a 65 yr old petite woman with bad knees. I don’t see this working for me, in fact I don’t see any self defense tactic working. Whatever tool I might have, I think the attacker would probably get it away from me. I don’t think I could hit anyone hard enough to even hurt them. Any suggestions?

[@gusgates7401]

I have many students in my program thats in there 60’s and petite who have found some success in this type of trying. If you can and have time check out this video i just put up i put a few training drills that you might find helpful . kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKizept7p7hpbassi=vOQNs-PtLIea9HmY

[@theflamingone8729]

Hi, training is just good for you anyway. Also, it affects you in such a way that it can influence a potential attacker's "victim selection". Above all, self protection goes beyond one's ability to fight, and if you find yourself fighting, you have probably made some mistakes before then. And again, training is fun and multi beneficial.
