The Cane-Thrusting with the First Grip

http://youtu.be/zyF2ebuTO2g

This is both the simplest move and the most difficult one.

It is simple because there is not much to it but lift and straighten the arm.

It is difficult because it requires enormous practice to develop it until it can be done quickly, accurately and without thought on a hostile and aggressive adversary. It is also difficult because both a stance change and a grip change will become necessary if this thrust fails to stop a determined attacker.

Practice, practice, practice…

Without prejudice
