Sho-ju Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 I have to say the cane is most under rated weapon in the world. It looks harmless, no more potent as a weapon then a stick of 3'. I had the chance to do extensive work with the crook on a combat cane from Cane Masters last night and it was mind blowing... I have been working with the Irish bhata on and off for a few months and thought I knew what to expect, but I didn't have a clue. Take a look at cane as a weapon, it won't let you down. OSU! Sho-ju
Shorinryu Sensei Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 I have to say the cane is most under rated weapon in the world. It looks harmless, no more potent as a weapon then a stick of 3'. I had the chance to do extensive work with the crook on a combat cane from Cane Masters last night and it was mind blowing... I have been working with the Irish bhata on and off for a few months and thought I knew what to expect, but I didn't have a clue. I totally agree that the cane is an effective weapon, but hardly "harmless" looking, as anything stick-like is. We do kobudo weapons training in our dojo, and I use the cane in conjunction with that. I have no formal cane training however, but it's pretty easy to use sai, tonfa, bo/jo, etc techniques with a cane. My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"

SBN Doug Posted December 17, 2003 Posted December 17, 2003 We study cane techniques as well. I love all the locking/choking opportunities with a circled handle. Kuk Sool Won - 4th danEvil triumphs when good men do nothing.
tommarker Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 In Echanis' book "Stick Fighting" aka the "red book" you can see some pictures of Hwa Rang Do GM Joo Bang Lee demonstrating some interesting cane techniques. I'm a bit young to carry a crooked cane on a daily basis without looking out of place, but I try to carry a crook handled umbrella. Now if I could only find a sturdy one. I'm no longer posting here.

Sho-ju Posted March 11, 2004 Author Posted March 11, 2004 I've only seen cane kata's once or twice, does anyone know of any online?
Sasori_Te Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 I don't know of any online. I do share your enthusiasm for the cane as a weapon though. I've only been questioned by ordinary folks as to why I carry a cane with me in public. I tell them I had a tragic Tonka truck accident as a child and that takes care of it. As for everyone else, what are they going to say? You even get special service at airports when you have a cane. They even give you a ride to your gate in the little cart. A block is a strike is a lock is a throw.
