The Cane at Punching Distance

http://youtu.be/wj9Il4-V5lQ

Usually, at punching distance, I grip the Cane in the Fifth Grip. Today I also grip and strike with it in the Third and Fourth Grips as well.

Striking with that mid portion of the cane just beyond my hand is tricky and the cane can be easily grabbed and/or deflected, so Grip retention techniques and a smooth transition to bare hand skills is essential.

On the other hand, Grip retention techniques may translate well into defenses against locks, grabs and throws by my attacker.

Without prejudice
