Using the Hook in an Augmented 2nd Grip

This is an ‘ADVANCED TECHNIQUE’.

Yesterday I showed how to use the shaft of the cane in a 5th grip.

I emphasized staying away from using the hook.

Today I am holding the cane in at both ends in what I call an ‘Augmented 2nd Grip’.

I know it does not look like it but there can be problems with its execution on (say) a heavy bag.

I am actually thrusting with the hook.

There are two big dangers with this technique.

One is that the hook can break on impact with a heavy bag during hard practice.

It could be driven back into my hand.

The other danger is that the hook could rotate my wrist around cause significant damage to my arm.
