Defending Against a Cane Grabbed in the Middle

http://youtu.be/QS6aUWcfqkY

Like the last two days, today is all about what to do if the opponent evades or overcomes the initial defense and rushes in to grab the middle of the cane.

The basic concept of the defense against a mid Cane grab is quite simple. I cross check into him first.

If I land the cross check, he will fall back and I can withdraw again.

If he tenses up and stops me from moving forward, that makes it a ‘still target’ for just a second. I torque out four hooks with the tip and hook of the Cane (like hook punches in boxing).

In this DRILL, when he lets go and falls back; so do I.
