Our Training

Training in the Cane for Protection program starts simply with striking techniques.  The student builds  on these basics adding footwork, hand and foot techniques, scenario drills, and awareness.  Cane for Protection is self defense training !

Not only do we offer techniques fit for a modern world and modern people, but also seminars on historical cane fighting treatises.  Using references from the Victorian and Eduardian age for material and guidance, these classes teach the student techniques from masters of yesteryear.
Every seminar and class includes discussion of basic self defense philosophy and strategy.  Our Walking cane self defense training program works for the modern person.
