I can't jump around like that! That's why I use a cane now!!!! My knees and balance are shot. I do like the arm exercises though

Thank you, Sensei.

Not so that you can fight at a prearranged time, in a prearanged manner. As for the gentleman in the video. Thank you good sir for shareing your knowledge. I am currently learning cane fighting, and I will be incorperateing your warm up into my own excercises.

I myself like an option when walking alone, I like the cane fighting. if nothing more than an exercise. and I feel safer when I do it. Thank you for your videos. they do help people!

Hi from cane loving France! Great video!

Fight like a warrior!

just amazing!!! i wish he was my grandpa lol

This looked good for a nice work out but, I was wondering if you would be willing to show us a simple cane drill we could go through along with this. I have no interest in picking a fight but it would be nice to be a little proficient with my weapon of choice in case I had to fight.

The best Self-Defence cane is the one you have with you. Train with the heavy one, walk with a lighter one, unless you're really big and strong !!

Cet art martial provient de France! Rendez à César ce qui appartient à César!!

Good stuff, keep up the good work.

Very good performance!

Nice video, i subbed. Unfortunately, I have a cane because my knees are shot. I worked my footwork as a fighter, but now I can't move like I want to. Any ideas on what us hard-headed but motion limited might do? How about a video on that? I know it would be appreciated. Thanks. PS, like the ponytail. Wish I could grow one, but my hair curls when it gets any length to it. I shave my noggin. Gives less to grab.

I agree whole heartedly, defense has never been about fighting. If you leave yourself vulnerable such as with hair that can be grabbed, a neck tie etc, are you not at a disadvantage? Maybe I don;t know anything, Ive only trained since 1964, alot of it in the Orient.

If i could skip like that, i wouldnt need the cane! Duh

Well of course as we get old we have limitations,(aaak) but them my best instructors were in thier eighties and nineties and still teaching and givng lesson on humilty. Once we stop is when we get old. Personally we use adapted Bokken or hanbo and teach kenjutsu and Kuroda-Ha Jojutsu techniques, As these schools use their weapons mainly against swords, we tend to think anything it not as intense.

good job ya old herm.

Too true...so they have to do what they can...

I feel like I just bare witnessed to something special.

Ihave big time dizziness. Broken a lot of bones. Do you have any recommenations of using the stick in my circumsance?

@Justnin Thanks, whoever you are... :)

@TagerFu Come on by...the mongols wore their heair up until they went into battle, then let it down as a sign of contempt for the enemy and as a challenge. I'm public, right here...

Why does this guy still have a cane, if he can jump around like that? Hell, when I started to use a cane at 26 it was 'cause I couldn't stand up without it. And as soon as I felt I could move around 1/100th as well as this guy, I'd snap the thing in half. Until my condition worsened and I'd wind up buying another. I still prevailed in fights with several younger assholes, because of painkiller induced invincibility, and not drinking - people get into fights in the first place due to drinking.

dunno, this isn't really a competitive martial art, and from experience I've found that random muggers generally leg it if their quarry puts up more fight than a quick buck is worth.

boy, nobody's gonna catch him are they?

This guy can tie a cane into his hair and he woulod have a greater rich that way than holding it in his hand

@donoberloh Oh, I know, I'll stay in my house and behind the couch! The Samurai had to cut their hair when their class was outlawed. Native Americans had to cut their hair when kidnapped into residential schools. All teh Nazis were skin heads. The mongols never had to cut their war hair... '64 eh? Beats me out. But hey, aren't you at a disadvantage for getting old? You should have put an end to that.

@Neil6000 I don't fight for a living anymore...I just hang the way I want an teach others. I've never taught anyone to grow their hair. I'm 64 with 35 yrs in, doin ok except for a bit of knee problems but hey - no one's grabbed it yet cause I DON"T FIGHT NO MORE! Sheesh... :)

I'm disabled godamnit. I do nothing but exercise my wrist.

@CaneFu Do you ever wear a jacket. stick out a hand or ever carry a kid? You got a lot of handles just standing there, caneFU. Sign yourself cane and don't think that the cane is a handle???

@CaneFu Hey - I did have a life before I got old and I learned a little bit but this stuff is for seniors, not bad asses like you. And, as for me, who's gonnah grab my hair? I'm in my 60s - who's going to boast about beating me up? And what if they lost? Shit, I make my sd suit my life, I don't go changing my life to suit some other fella's idea of perfect sd. Don't forget to ask how someone as stupid as me has survived 30 yrs MA, twice as long as you, (a guess from your tone). Fun yet?

What happens when the cane gets tangled in your pony tail. You would have more credibility if you would lose it.

Yahshua - you know Him as Jesus - was born to a virgin, turned water to wine, taught, healed the sick, raised the dead, casted out demons, walked on water, calmed the storm, and fed a crowd of thousands with a few fish and a few loaves of bread, among many other things. He was killed on the cross as payment for the sins of all mankind, three days later He rose from the dead. Forty days later He ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father. He is returning very soon, but before He does, Satan, the devil, is coming to pretend to be Jesus/God (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4). Satan is an angel, and he will have certain supernatural powers with which to try to fool everyone. He will, for example, be able to make fire come down from heaven in the sight of men. He will only be on earth a short time before the real King of Kings, Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, returns. When the real Jesus comes we will all be transformed into our spiritual bodies at the same moment. Jesus came in the flesh to offer forgiveness of sins and eternal life to anyone who believes and calls on His precious name! if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. - Romans 10:9 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her. - Matthew 26:6-13 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon..,.. To anoint your self, the sick, or a building for spiritual protection: Get a small bottle of olive oil and pour off a small amount into a smaller vessel like a vial or baby food jar. Use the rest of the bottle for cooking. Ask the Lord to bless your vial of oil in Jesus name. Anoint yourself with the oil by placing a dab of oil on tip of finger and touch it to your forehead, and ask the Lord to bless you/heal you. Place a dab of oil on your finger and anoint the door posts and order all negativity and evil out of the house, and order that nothing negative or evil can enter into your home including piggybacking on a person entering, order it to be so in the name of Jesus. Anoint all potential entrances to your home. To anoint the sick, place oil on tip of finger and touch it to the head of the sick and say a prayer of healing over them in Jesus name. See James Chapter 5:14-15...............

Perhaps it is just me. But it seems many of the comentors share one fundamental misconception. You change yourself for competition in martial arts. Martial arts today being a sport, with rules that must be followed. And in competition you are dealing with indaviduals of similar skill levels who CAN move fast enough to grab your hair. In self defense simply thier are no rules, no regulations and no holds barred. Self defense is learned on the off chance you should be unable to AVOID a fight.

LOL!

@DefendYourself101 Hey, I really didn't mean to come on so strong - sorry, just he street coming out in me I guess and I apologize. Whatever makes you happy.

old people cannot do these kicks, do a kata that us old folk can do

Cane is for SD, not mobility...

Wtf?!

Exercises for those in God's waiting room. :/

get a hair cut
