The Cane in the 7th Grip: Four More Basic Strikes


Again, I am using the grip also known as ‘The Mid Grip’ for obvious reasons.

Today I execute four more basic swings with the back end of the hook.

These are each on a forty five degree angle.

I prefer to torque my hips slightly into my swings.

I also prefer to torque my backward swings with a backward rotation (instead of a reverse rotation).

I make sure I am at kicking distance when I do these.

I also make sure I have a firm grip on the cane so it does not rebound back and strike me.

Again one last point: I prefer to use a thick, heavy, Sheppard’s Hook cane as I am just too hard on the lighter variety (as shown).
