Cane Classes
 |
"It's the most practical weapon a martial artist can learn. What other weapon
can you carry on a plane or in a casino? Try getting nunchaku past airport
security. And if you think about it, what good is learning a weapon if you
can't bring it anywhere?"

That's what it is all about. We offer self defense classes and seminars based on
the common walking cane. The cane is a simple weapon to use, but can become
very deadly with a little practice. Unlike most weapons, it has multiple
striking areas, offers single and two-handed gripping, and provides a large
blocking target. Yet it is small enough to carry with you or tuck into your
car.

Cane Self Defense
Designed for everyone, these classes do not require any prior martial arts
training or skills. The focus is on street smart use of the cane.

Aiki Cane
Aiki Cane is a martial system based on Aikido and Aikijujutsu. The classes are
very dynamic and include a considerable amount of throwing your opponent using
the cane. Experience with Aikido or Aikijujutsu is preferred, but not required.
However, competent falling and rolling (Ukemi) skills are required.

Cane Fitness
Once you start with the cane you will want to carry it with you everywhere. By
adding an exercise band you can also have a personal workout system. Using the
cane and the exercise band to do tension and isometric exercises that will
strngthen and tone your body.
