Striking with the Cane at Different Distances

I start outside kicking range using the 4th grip on the Cane.

I strike with the end (as shown).

I change my grip to a 5th grip and cross check the bag as I step closer.

Then I withdraw.

This is more about timing and distance more than it is about speed.

Changing the grip from the 4th to the 5th grip means grabbing the cane (again as shown).

This drill looks easy but it is quite challenging when done quickly.
