An interesting walking stick Guard position:

And the head cuts that are possible from this guard:

I've made the Western walking stick something of a focus, and still these surprised me. Just a heads up to keep learning, I guess. :D

I enjoy things from Mr. Lawson.
Thanks for sharing that.

Hey Kidswarrior,

That is a nice couple of links. Like you I spend alot of time working with the cane and since you can take one anywhere it is a very useful tool. As a matter of fact I am doing a seminar on it at the end of the month. http://www.martialtalk.com/forum/images/icons/icon6.gif

Cool links and thanks again! http://www.martialtalk.com/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif

I like the versatility of the cane and the easy access to getting one. In Alma I can literally walk a little ways and pick up solid canes that would do okay in a pinch. Personally I ship in Ed Martins canes because they are very, very strong amish made canes and work extremely well.

There are alot of good cane makers out there but I cannot justify spending to much on a cane.

The reach of the cane and the ability to take it anywhere is an incredible advantage for this tool. I would highly recommend that everyone study cane techniques. http://www.martialtalk.com/forum/images/icons/icon6.gif

yes and much of the technique is actually from use of the saber and broad sword with out shield or buckler. this of course makes a lot of sense as there are only so many ways to swing a stick or blade between say 26 and 38 inches in length effectively and efficiently in a combat situation.

Being as I have to walk with one I have studied heavily on usage. Plus I have figured out ways to incorporate it with judo. It also doesn't hurt I suppose That I have a lot of formal training with tang katanas, german long sword and scot and irish bastard swords.

so I only go in public with 2.5 inch hooked heart wood oak canes either.
