The Cane-Using the Fifth Grip to Block

http://youtu.be/67GZoHWo3GA

I am in a Forward Bow holding the cane with both hands in the Fifth Grip (a third, a third and a third). I use the end of the cane nearest the point to perform inside blocks, outside blocks, downward blocks and low outside blocks.

These are all done close in and I had to practice slowly for the longest time just to get the motion down.

By practicing these blocks with the cane, I find my bare hand blocks are improved as well.

Without prejudice
