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.

• The Cane Masters International Association

  In the near future we plan to also offer ranking under The Cane Masters International Association.
