Three Drills with the Short Cane

*WARNING: I check my cane daily to ensure that I detect any flaws, cracks, bends or signs of weaknesses in it. Any tool that is subjected to impact will decay with wear. They should be replaced often.*

The first of these drills combines the two swings I was doing yesterday with a thrust of the cane tip.

The grip must be firm and the rhythm even (for this drill).

There is only the limb alone driving the cane so it is a simple yet quick series of movements.

The second drill is almost the same as the first except that I am now adding hip torque to my swings.

This slows the whole process down slightly but makes the swings more powerful.

The third drill combines the three cane attacks with a step.

This may look the same but it feels quite different.

I go slow and careful with the emphasis on control.

Without prejudice
