canes?

[tessone]

I know there have been a number of discussions about what weapons people own, what is the best weapon, etc. But what weapons do folks actually carry? Specifically, does any carry a cane?

 

I've seen a little of the KSW cane forms, and they look pretty cool. I wonder if anyone carries one for self-defense on this forum (or maybe something else that's not usually seen as a weapon).

When I wear my PVC jeans, I also wear a Topman belt.

 

This belt can be used as makeshift nunchaku.

I sometimes carry an asp, if Im going to a place where I might need it. (ie-bad neighborhood) If Im injured and couldnt defend myself with my body alone, I will take my cane with me everywhere (other than school). Unfortunately, the only cane I have has a sword in it. lol

I have a few canes. And I actually use them. Comes in right handy for keeping balance on uneven surfaces.

 

The special one I have with the crook large enough to go around someones neck is a bit heavy. So I carry my old beat up one.

I used to know a few teachers who swung a mean old cane! [Ouch x 6!]

Cane is a very interesting weapon. I hope to learn a little soon. Has anyone here heard of "Cane Masters?" https://www.canemasters.com/ What is it they teach? Are there kata?

I have a Japanese Cane Sword but I don't carry it around. I usually carry a small blade on me, but it's mostly for utilitarian reasons.

The cane is uses as a weapon in some tournaments. And I think canemasters does have some tapes with cane katas.

Cane doesn't work for me... I'm young and in pretty good shape. I do carry a crook top umbrella when it calls for rain though.

Many of the same techniques can be done with an umbrella.
