Due to my recent ACL surgery, I have purchased a cane for times that my leg is so stiff or whatever that it slows me down considerably. I have long been a fan of the cane as a weapon and have recently starting looking at its use much closer.
I have noticed, however, that most forms and demonstrations that I have found show a person who clearly doesn't need a cane (i.e. does jump spinning kicks, rolls, etc). Personally I like it because I know that in the future, I will most likely need one (again).
Who here actually uses a cane on a daily basis? Who here trains with a cane as a weapon? If you train with one, do you use it as just a short hooked stick or do you train with a simulated "handicap" to make the training more applicable to the future/present?
