Cane vs Knife "A Face full of Cane" 

Thank you to John Curtis for requesting this! I walk with a cane, and have been training self defense stick for ages. Great content!

Two feet and a heart beat... best advice ever for fights involving blades. Great video.

Nice little video Cane fighting is often overlooked I studied it while practicing Kok Soo Won it was my favorite weapon. I've since read several manuals on cane fighting including Franco Cane Fighting, Barton Wright Sherlock Homles self defense, and Hoyer self defense for Gentlemen and ladies. I carry a cane in those situations were it is illegal for me to carry a firearm.

I've carried a walking stick since highschool. It waa for defense back then, now it's for bad knees. But in 1991 when walking a man came out of the shadows & i saw him drawing a big knife (6 or 8 inches is my guess) I parried with what was basically a 2nd party in saber then started downward blows in a figure 8 to his head. He ran I chased for a little bit then he ran into the woods. I still have the stick & it has a small chunk on the side where it caught the blade! Lessons 1) sticks are excellent for modern self defense against most things except guns & they can be carried pretty much anywhere. 2) my stick was too light weight to KO the attacker even after multiple head strikes; I now carry a much stouter hickory stick that carried for over 20 years & I've been walking with daily for about 10 of that.

Nice, I love Cane Fencing. There's also a lot of material from the manual of Giannino Martinelli straight from the 1800 Italian Cane Fencing.

Very informative and educational. Thank you very much

Soon: British parliament to ban canes in the first quarter of 2022

The cane does give you a greater reach than a knife. Also, the very presence of a cane would act as a deterrent to a knife-wielding attacker. It says to him your a hard target!

I have either my CS pistol grip city stick or my CS heavy sword cane. Even when my ankle worked fine. Never had a problem flying with the City Stick. Col Monstery has a good story of how he used his stick against a knife attack.

Thank you 😊

Training to snipe hands and skulls with a cane is good for people who need one as they have limited mobility.

Wonderfully and elegantly demonstrated!

For anyone who practices saber, a cane is a good substitute on the streets. If someone has a knife, definitely strike the hand, as hard and fast as you can, multiple times. Aim for the fingers, wrist, forearm, and knife. If you disarm the attacker, keep the slashing going between you and if they keep coming, pick soft targets and keep striking.

A wizard's staff has a knob on the end!

Any cane with a metal (or wood) knob on the top is considered a 'weapon' in most all US states. If it has the hand crook, it's a legal 'medical device' in all states. But just as good for head bashing.

Thanks for content guys, have a great holiday!

uh...

Great video! Thanks guys and have a merry Christmas 🎅👍👍

Hi As a canne de combat teacher, I enjoyed and approved your video Have a great day

music is very high and your voices are low. I wish I could set up at audio settings just like a video game.

where i live it´s popular to walk with poles (looks like ski poles). that could give a attacker a nasty suprice. when it comes to the law. It wouldn´t be any problem. as someone threatend me with a weapon and I used what I had in hand.

I like your videos but this one is kinda bad. Yes, against some drunk idiot who mindlessly waves his knife, anything with longer range can knock off his weapon or create a distraction for finding a way out to flee. In any realistic scenario chances of stick/cane person being slashed and stabbed is very high and techniques you presented are not effective against someone with really deadly intentions.

Thank you. Just a word of caution, the tip into trachea could kill someone rather easy I think.

That explains why Mr.Lee always carries his cane everywhere when traveling

Did you guys just whack the $500++ St. Mark's Gloves?! I've always wanted a pair but u just hit it with a cane head. Lol. Love the video.

Definitely keep distance if you cannot run away. If you have to fight with your long big stick, use its advantage. I would use it as a mace and short one hand spear, depending on the circumstances.

With this large difference in range, it seems very profitable to false edge cut groin!

Walk softly but carry a big stick.

Indee, I enjoy this little gem of video.

I love living where I live. We have constitutional carry. I can have anything from rocks to sticks to machine guns and there is nothing that can be done about it. I can carry a sword anywhere I want. They might ask questions, but it stops there.

Talk about raising cane

This was nice, entertaining, and I think I need myself a cane now.

What would you guys say the best blades weapon is?

If only there were more comprehensive living cane/short stick arts in Europe, India, Africa etc.... oh wait, there are ;) btw I've actually defended myself against a blade with a stick...if one hasn't what's the frame of reference here because I see several issues even with how you're applying techniques with the cane vs a knife here. :(

This looks very weak. The intial block, stepping off line, crossing over both your feet, & guard to stike is a silly " move" to recomend for self defense. You folks might want to edit this. There are no sound moves for real world defense in this video. Props for earnest intentions 😊 Stick to sports. Warmest regards
