The 2nd Grip on the Cane and the Overhand Diagonal Strikes

While this is a simple enough idea; this is an advanced concept because it can go so very wrong so quickly.

Care must be taken due to the deceptively powerful nature of these strikes.

I can strike overhand in a diagonal fashion with a Knifehand (and hip torque) or I can use the Cane in the second grip.

The video demonstrates how and how far away, etcetera but it is vital to remember three keys points.

The Cane is essentially, a short staff, not a sword. The two have entirely different effects when they land. Do not confuse one with the other.

Gripping the Cane and controlling it effectively is a matter of constant practice (as all Martial Arts are). This is not militant cheer leading and care must be exercised at all times or things will get broken and people will be hurt unintentionally.

Last but not least; striking a bag the resists is a very different thing than striking the air (which does not). Both must be practiced and due diligence must be exercised during this practice.

I cannot emphasize this last point strongly enough.

BE CAREFUL!!!!
