Martial Cane Concepts: A Realistic System of Walking Stick Self-Defense DVD by Michael Janich

Using a "keep it practical" approach, veteran instructor Michael Janich has developed Martial Cane Concepts, a self-defense system specifically geared toward people with physical limitations. In other words, this unique video is not for the expert stick fighter or martial artist; it's for the 65-year-old man or woman who may actually need to fight for his or her life against a punk prowling for an easy target.

After observing that traditional stick-fighting methods require physical training and abilities beyond the grasp of most people who carry a cane out of need, Janich came up with two uncomplicated sequences of techniques that can be applied to many different situations. This approach also makes the system perfect for the non-martial artist who's interested in protecting him- or herself.

Martial Cane Concepts teaches a self-defense system that is

• Simple
• Easily learned
• Easily applied by those with limited physical strength, reflexes, and speed

To round out this instruction, Janich also includes material for people with more physical attributes who choose to carry a cane as the ultimate PC weapon.

There is no fancy stuff in here-no throws, flips, or locks.

Just solid information on choosing the best cane for your needs and then using it to strike, thrust, and block to protect yourself from harm.
