Cane Forms

[Dan Anderson]

Not a stupid question at all. A student of mine, Barry McConnell, uses a canemaster cane. I teach with a 28 inch stick. I do not teach walking cane forms.

when you refer to cane forms are you talking about an actual cane (36-46 onches) or about a stick.

Indeed, the use of the term can vary considerably. In Modern Arnis we usually mean a straight stick that's a little over two feet long.

I only learned the first 3 stick anyo's under Datu Kelly Worden. However, we do the form with single stick, double stick, sword, espada daga and staff. In addition, we do the entire combination as a 2 man form. I have done the 2 man version in demo's with great response.

Why not substitute a walking cane for the stick. To me it would seem more people would be seen walking with a walking cane not a stick in their hand so why not trin with it

Thats a good point Sheldon! With some slight modifications if necessary, due to the longer weapon, one should be able to employ the techniques as they would be done with a shorter weapon.

Good thought and observation.

However, don't wait for anyone else to do it! Make it for yourself and have some fun while you are doing it.

Been doing it for years substituting my canes in open hand foms to see what work and what dose not and also to see how I need to change techniques with a weapon in hand
