Sasori_Te Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 If you are referring to a crooked cane, It is not a traditional Japanese weapon. Try looking at Chinese weapons and Korean weapons. I know that Hapkido and Hwa Hwrang (spelling?)Do use the cane. However these styles are more Chinese influenced styles so try Chinese martial history. A block is a strike is a lock is a throw.
