The Short Cane Horizontal Broad Swings

http://youtu.be/WhK43rap4yM

Today I am using a collapsible Cane to practice with.

I make sure it is retracted as much as possible and the button is up.

This ensures that the end is securely fastened to the cane (and it will not fly out).

The most basic of strokes with the Short Cane happen at kicking distance.

I start with the Cane in the second grip.

Whether I am using a Forehand swing or a Backhand swing, I keep the swing horizontal to the ground.

This video better explains how to do this.

Alternating between these broad swings should feel slow and sweeping.

When combined with a short sharp strike or block, they can be very effective.

Without prejudice
