I love you man thanks for all them years of being sane. Some retired law enforcement people let that pistol ownership go to their head. One retired officer shot a kid for using his telephone to text during the movie.. to see somebody that was in that field get all the way to being retired and deciding that he could carry a cane and smack somebody with it, instead of just jumping up with the standard second amendment I had to had to had to speech really makes me happy. Who knows someday you and I may be walking down the street and get a pitbull or two off of somebody.

@@markmcgoveran6811 If you watched the retired officer’s trial you realize there was a lot more to it. A disagreement that is verbal often can turn physical in an instant. Retired law enforcement are nothing special. Everyone is carrying these days. Legally or illegally. The cane is great but like a baton or open handed skills it can only take you so far. Carry both.

@@graywind4326 I don't need the details of the trial. It doesn't matter what lot more to it that you want to dish up and try to explain how you favor somebody or disfavor or whatever you think I missed in the details let's boil it out like an engineer that's what I am an engineer mathematician train to simplify complicated electricity praying to simplify complicated equations. I'm sorry to point out with the definition of the word officer is roughly meaning you are special enough to hold an office. Were you saying something about the officer of the Court not being special about the judge he's an officer of the Court as well is he special? Damn right they both are. And then when they are no longer in the officer they might have a difficult time understanding that they're not a pig anymore and they can't go out there and get by with all of the pig things that the pig office allows the pig to get by with. So the pig is sitting here with his pistol and proud of all of his training proud of all of his experience proud because he's every wonderful thing that every gun owner in America worships and looks up to.escalate to murder over a telephone in a movie theater. I don't really see what more there is to the case this guy let his job go to his head and his overloaded ego kills the man. Have you ever heard of the term escalation the guy is using a cell phone minding his own business the officer pig instantly escalates to I'm dominating you verbally stop doing what you were doing I'm dominating you verbally and then probably it escalated to verbal and then it escalated to physical and then it escalated to a shooting and who did all of the escalating officer pig. You have something in common with officer pig that I do not have in common with officer pig. I will not discharge a weapon in a crowded place. If you are an active shooter and you have a weapon I will not discharge a weapon in a crowded place full of screaming people fleeing. I'll claim the moral high ground here officer pig is nothing special I'm nothing special you're nothing special the only moral high ground I got is I know that about all three of us and any of us can shoot and miss. 240 lbs of completely adrenaline charged mentally ill misfit is going to grab that guy from behind or from in front if he sees me and turns toward me or whatever it takes but either I'm going out with the other people who were hitting the back and I'm going to be shot in the face or the front because I'm not going to go out like that. Me and that guy are going to wrestle for that gun I don't care we're going to have to have it out and if he can get it away from me and eliminate me I can live with that. I can't live with emptying my clip hit him every time, but a round goes through his arm and hits a kid behind him. I can't live with that I'm too smart I've got too much education I know too much mathematics and I know for a fact who took a risk when he started shooting in that crowded place I did. The risk of hitting a bystander is unacceptable. I couldn't use a cane in this situation because I need my hands free. I don't blame you I don't blame officer pig for your lack of morality your lack of education and your lack of reluctance to take a risk firing a firearm in a crowded place the judge can decide on you but I guarantee you one thing I'm not going to shoot anybody over a cell phone I don't care what you say happened it started over the cell phone.

@@markmcgoveran6811 I don’t care what you think you would do yada yada. I made no supposition as to what I would do. Simply said he was found not guilty. The jury obviously bought his reasons.

Hi David, thanks for your suggestion!

What is the Solution 1 yr later, This Dave wants to know😮

Glad to hear! Stay active and safe on your hikes. Have a great day!

Thank you Thomas… I look forward to seeing you next month! Thanks for being a friend of Cane Masters… Keith

Thank you Thom for your comment… We appreciate being a friend of Cane Masters… And I hope I train with you in the near future… Keith

@@CaneMasters-WalkingCanes Keith, Planning to go to Florida in late April/early May, after the Spring Break. Plan to contact both you and Gary Hernandez when I get there. Will stay for about three weeks for caning, salt water fishing and hiking in both Tampa and Maimi areas. Meanwhile I practice caning several times a week for about 45 to 60 minutes. Take care and have a Happy New Year. Tom Nugent

@@thomasnugent3836 Thom… It will be a pleasure to visit with you when you are in South Florida. Please reach out to me in advance and let’s schedule some time to get together. Best regards… Keith

@@CaneMasters-WalkingCanes Keith, I will certainly do that ! Thanks

Hi Sheldon…. Assuming you are in fear for your life, I would look at aiming at the clavicle.

@@CaneMasters-WalkingCanes I was in fear for my life and aimed at the clavicle, your honor. He moved and I busted his cranium instead.

In the very top of the head is a sweet spot as well. When you go for it you want to aim farther back on top. Think back of the crown. Any farther forward will only produce the opposite effect seeing as the bone is especially strong there.

@@CaneMasters-WalkingCanes I agree. The clavicle is exremely painful when struck sharpley. The head can be missed too easily, with a glancing blow. The clavicle presents a wider target and cannot be moved in a split second out of the way like a person's head - which can be a very quick response, given the importance of its function. Humans have a very fast flinch and duck response.

@@OutnBacker Thank you for reaching out!

Thank you Jordan… It was a pleasure to hear from you. Thank you for being a friend Cane Masters! Keith

@@CaneMasters-WalkingCanes An amusing point of interest: Since the 1960's Dark Shadows vampire Barnabas Collins always used his cane horn-forward, I like calling this excellent technique of yours "The Barnabas Bop". ;-)

We're glad to hear you love this video! Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

Hi there! You can use the crook/handle during self-defense situation. However, we highly suggest to use the shaft to hit on something/someone. You can email us at info@canematser.com if you need anything.

Hi Mark! Our Shop is a working wood shop and not a storefront - there are no canes for viewing. However, you can email us at info@canemasters.com if you need anything.

Thank you for being a friend of Cane Masters! Keith

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing!

I can't possibly justify the money these canes cost. Most reasonable one I saw was 75 bucks. I cut ash, oak and hickory and make my own. Before that I purchased a cattleman cane from my local farm supply for 13 dollars, solid oak, they also had American hickory. I'm sure these guys have nice canes but for my money it's function not fluff that does it for me. Be safe and stay blessed!

For the poor folks: I went to my local charity thrift shop and found 2 old wooden canes for a couple bucks each. Both are oak, and after I made a couple of modifications, they are both serious weapons. Modifications: sharpened the hook like so many fighting canes, and did a good sanding to remove old finish and applied my own. Looks great and will get the job done.

@@williamjarvis3473I, too, got a great and cheap but unadorned cane at Tractor Supply Co. But, I have ordered from Cane Masters, too. I myself wouldn't describe their options as "fluff." On the contrary, they add real value by making the cane a much less comfortable experience for the would-be attacker. They definitely add not only cost but value. I especially like the "shark's teeth" that hamper anyone trying to take my cane from me. If they're too costly for someone's budget that's unfortunate. But, IMO, those who do have the spare change can use it to good advantage by investing in a Cane Master's cane.

There are a lot of techniques in using the walking canes for self defense. We still highly suggest you practice and execute the movements that you are most comfortable doing with.

@@CaneMasters-WalkingCanes 😆 I was referring to being hit by one of those whackers.

lmao is this satire

Thank you Jimmy… and for being a friend of Cane Masters! Keith

Thanks!

Wow, thanks for sharing and for your service!

I agree! Nowadays, we need to stay alert all the time! You can email us at info@canematser.com if you need anything.

Hi there, thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, there's none we can share.

Edward- If you would like a great well made crafted cane you can visit canemasters.com otherwise we will have a new list of places to train in about 2 months.

Actually!

I look to aim at the clavicle.

Much appreciated!

The strikes depend on where you want to land them. It also depends on which technique you are comfortable with. The intensity and momentum also matters.

You want to deescalate the situation..

Men and even boys instinctively and quite effectively guard the groin. So, I'd suggest feinting toward the groin but striking some other target, such as the knee or shin. Limbs are good targets because a good strike will cause great pain and very possibly break the bone. In any case, that limb will likely be incapacitated for a time, thereby breaking up the attack and letting you escape.

You're welcome! We're glad you found the technique helpful. Efficiency and speed are indeed crucial in self-defense situations. Remember to practice regularly to enhance your muscle memory and reaction time. If you have any more questions or need further guidance, feel free to ask. Stay safe! Thanks for watching.

Stay safe! It's great that you found something that works for you. Always be prepared and trust your instincts. Take care! 😊

@@CaneMasters-WalkingCanes It would be easier if we had systems to better deal with and deter crooked people. A ski pole or cane are a lot to carry, I left one behind, backtracked a long ways to get it, and I'm always hoping never to actually bruise or scratch someone with these things, that can be gross. I need one or two on ice, but rarely need these with good traction. Thank you for the videos, some people looking to be in need may also or instead be in power to move someone else who's in the way in a very bad way. Thank you for the comment and heart.

Thanks Chuck we appreciate it!

AWESOME!

Absolutely! Your routine sounds impressive! Horn up drill is great for agility. Keep it up! 🚀💪

Excellent reply Mojo… thanks for sharing. The fight that you never lose is the one that you walk away from! Keith

That's truly sound advice: Always walk (or run) away IF YOU CAN. Only if you cannot walk (or run) away should you engage. And, even then, the law requires that you use no more force than that which is necessary--not even if the bad guy throws the first punch.

You're welcome!

Awesome!

Best of luck! Keith

Always good advice... and carry a strong cane!

Thank you!

@@CaneMasters-WalkingCanes Do you ever give discounts to veterans I don’t have a lot to spend. If i had one I could show at the VA hospital to the Veterans I’m sure you could sell a lot if those to them

Hi there, not really but you can with right timing.

Hey!

Hi there, you can check our website at canemasters.com.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. It's true that laws regarding self-defense tools like canes vary by location, and it's important for individuals to be aware of local regulations. However, the techniques taught in the video are focused on self-defense and empowerment, emphasizing the importance of using any available means to protect oneself in a dangerous situation. If you have concerns about legality, it's always a good idea to consult with legal experts or authorities in your area.

And where I live I can carry a sword cane... Always check your local laws.

@@Kinetic.44 I checked. Possession of a sword cane i]s a felony in California.

Awesome, thank you!

Thank you so much! We're glad you enjoyed it. Your positive feedback means a lot to us. If you have any specific thoughts or suggestions, feel free to share them. We appreciate your support!

Many thanks!

Any time

Thanks Greg…. Please give our regards to your family! Keith

Hi there, we are very sorry to hear that. Nowadays, it's really better to be prepared than sorry. Our walking canes are not just for personal protection but also for mobility, balance, and support. You can email us at info@canemasters.com if you need anything.

I can't tell you how angry this sort of elder abuse makes me! if these jerks show up consistently your local police might be interested in meeting them. Your state may have specific laws concerning elder abuse. Since the park is a public place, it's probably legal (I'm not an attorney and so I can't share legal advice) for you to record video using a small hidden camera. You can share the video with the public, with police, with the park administrator, etc. Just a random thought. Some pet stores will rent their dogs. Consider renting a really BIG dog and let the dog get acquainted with your tormentors--up close and personal. Let them know the big dog's likes and dislikes--such as interrupting your walk and that of your little dog. A friend could handle RAMBO on a leash while you walk your smaller friend.

You are very much welcome. Thank you for watching our videos.

Hi there! Yes, the weight matters but it is also important to have a strong and hard wood type like Hickory. We offer copper tip which is optional. We don't have a hammer style handle/crook. You can email us at info@canemasters.com if you need anything else.

A little physics: The kinetic energy of a strike is directly proportional to the mass (basically, the weight) of the cane times the SQUARE of the velocity of the cane. So, speed is MUCH more important than mass. If the mass slows the strike it's counterproductive. So, generally speaking, you want a relatively light cane--one that you can easily maneuver and one that you can use to strike at the highest possible speed. So, start light and add weight until you can tell that the weight is slowing your strikes. The previous cane is the one to choose.

Nice!

How can we help you? You can also email us at info@canemasters.com.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Hi there! Thanks for your feedback. The momentum and intensity we showed in this video is not same as the actual.

Hi there, thanks for your feedback. Exertion of strikes during training and actual is different. What matters most is having proper knowledge and skills in using walking canes for personal protection. Constant practice also helps.

Nowadays, prevention is better than cure so being prepared all the time matters.

Hi there! There are so many techniques on how to use a cane for personal protection. Constant practice matters. You can email us at info@canemasters.com if you need anything.
