Thank you for all the content you produce. I would not teach people to put that lanyard over their wrist as you show. If the cane is grabbed and pulled with the loop over the wrist, your hand will be trapped and you could be pulled to the floor. Plz research any police baton training video. Either the lanyard is wrapped over the thumb and back of hand or looped over the four knuckles of the hand. That way if it is grabbed it can be released without your wrist getting trapped. Just a humble suggestion, your videos are all awesome.

As a martial artists, I would have liked to have seen your speed as you were wielding the cane when swinging it. It would appear that you’re not going to get enough speed, and therefore power, to inflict any serious damage to an attacker. Perhaps you could make another video showing the cane hitting a heavy bag at speed. Hopefully you can make the impact of the cane more believable. Thanks 🙏

At speed you can shatter femurs and car windows with that.

I am a handicapped senior. My main problem is end stage congestive heart failure. I have a portable oxygen concentrator in one hand and a cane in the other for balance. I couldn't do damage to anyone. The cane is fairly light weight and would only sting if I hit anyone.

hi! 20 year martial artist here. I'm an instructor in kali as well as goju shorei cane. seeing a sped up video is always nice for reassurance. but believe me swinging a light strong wooden stick is tried and true to splittting heads open and maming people or killing without issue. as a kali user myself this is my go to edc weapon being thereso relative. i also train kenjutsu and kendo often which led to a bokken "another form of stick" breaking my leg. very effective weapon!

My point was then and still is, that you failed to make a complete and powerful swing with the cane. Hitting a bag from various positions and situations would have added greatly to showing the potential damage from a well placed shot. You won’t always be in the ideal position to get off a decisive strike, and so you really should have elaborated more on exactly that. Right at 5:05 is where you failed to show anything that could have saved someone in a bad situation. That movement most likely would have done little to thwart the threat. just sayin 🤷♂️

You charge to much for me. I bought a Stockman’s hickory cane very cheap. I boiled the crook in water and used a vise and wrench to shape it like I wanted.

A cane is the ONLY martial arts weapon allowed on an airplane. You can't take a "walking cane".
