Can you defend yourself with a walking cane?
Yes!
Why? The walking cane is a mobility device that can be taken with you everywhere you go.
Because of the walking cane’s built in features, like a long wooden shaft for striking and blocking, the hard wooden tip, for thrusts, and the crook or handle of the walking cane, which is used for raking strikes and trapping techniques, the walking cane is the perfect self defense tool.
Walking cane self defense techniques start with a powerful thrust using the walking cane’s shaft, that will create distance between the attacker and yourself.
In addition to thrusting with the self defense cane, you will learn how to strike with the shaft of the walking cane, similar to using a sword slashing technique with angular self defense strikes, horizontal self defense strikes, and vertical self defense strikes.
The walking cane’s crook or hook is also an effective self defense feature when used to rake the assailants face or hook into the attacker’s body in key or vital targets, like the neck, shoulders, arms, legs, and groin.
Walking cane self defense is easy to learn and can quickly be employed in self defense by seniors, disabled persons, wounded warriors, women, and anyone wanting an effective self defense option that can be carried everywhere and anywhere you go.
