Cane, stick and draw point knife defense up on you tube

[edgehill]

Matt, Ubaldo and I have met at Markham Park to practice together once. Maybe we could set a practice session up again.

At the end of this three days of class, I went one on one with Brownie with the Bowies. It was very instructive to see how many ways he could stop me, and by the end learning how to protect myself. It was a great class.

The cane class and sticks was great as well because it opened my eyes to other ways to defend myself.

It was well worth the investment.

That sounds swell, Andy. If y'all ever go early AM on a Sat/Sun please let me know.

The more tools one knows how to use defensively, the better. I've given people ambi capability in 10 hours of double stick training without their even knowing it, until I asked them to drop the strong side stick and use only their off side arm/hand..

I fly with the cane, and a kubaton [ another very effective up close and personal implement ]. The cane is an "unconventional" weapon that one can have with them in non permissive environments [ NPE's ].

Appreciate your thoughts as well sir.

Of course. Flattered and pleased. Dennis

Brownie, if you ever decide to have a class in OKC, let me know. I'll be there with bells on.

Or Dallas-Fort Worth...

Brownie overwhelms you in the weekend so you take home a couple of techniques/movements, or more than a couple if you have previous training. At this pace, I hope he keeps in the business 15 more years........

I'll wrassle ya...say when

I beat up a pole or tree. And "air train" im my back yard. Not much else to do.

It's up Andy [ you and I in the circle ], I posted the link here today. You learned a lot from the circle, mistakes made there will unlikely be made on the streets.

You're absolutely correct, the stick/s and cane open up a new world of SD concepts. You always have two stick on you, from your elbows to your axe hands.

It's hard without a partner with you in class you can both train together later with. It took me 3 years with Keating to be able to perform/remember everything from the first course. There's a lot of material covered and the exposure to a lot of material isn't expected to be remembered, but the concepts of the tool are ingrained, then it's up to each to get back home and get to work while it's still fresh.

I swung the sticks in the air for 3 years about 1-1.5 hrs a day so I wouldn't forget, then it was so ingrained that I could do it in my sleep.
