A Cane-Retention Drill

http://youtu.be/d417Aw9RyEY

The whole idea of practicing with any tool is to improve the overall quality of my art. Thi is a good example of that.

This could be thought of as a basic ‘Retaining-The-Cane’ drill. The idea is to use all my body against my attacker’s hand.  By first stepping closer and grabbing the cane near his grip, I maintain control of the cane. Then I use turning of my body against his thumb to release the cane.

This uses the same concepts practiced in single wrist releases. By practicing with the cane, my empty hand skills are honed.
