Effective Cane Defense Techniques for Self-Defense

  • Using just the wrist for impact involves faster muscles like the bicep, front deltoid, and pectoralis, while the whole elbow utilizes slower, larger muscles.
  • Striking the groin is not a knockout move but a tactic to divert attention downwards for defense or escape from an assault.
  • The fighting grip involves positioning the cane for defensive purposes, such as shielding against attacks by rotating the hook outward.
  • Defensive motions like the shaft to the groin and shield are primarily used to counter incoming assaults, not for reaching out aggressively.
  • The backhand strike involves rotating the hook outward and the palm up, aiming to strike from the elbow to the shoulder swiftly without twisting the body.
  • Following the backhand strike, a low strike targeting the mid-quad to mid-calf region aims to shatter the opponent's leg, transitioning from bad to worse to a terrible situation for the attacker.
