Cane Protection

Cane Protection The world is a great and exciting place full of fun things and cool people. Except when it isn’t. The unfortunate reality is that any public environment can turn into a very perilous place. Human predators exist. Somebody wants your wallet or car. The mentally deranged or addicted want to lash out and cause pain. Some men rape. A wise person is prepared for these situations. And the really smart ones have a weapon close at hand.

The cane makes a pretty good weapon.  At 36” long it’s effective for both offense at a distance and defense in close.  The 3/4” hickory makes it hard enough to do damage with strikes and sweeps.  Both staff and sword martial traditions can be easily adapted, as can police nightstick techniques.  Perhaps most importantly the cane quickly becomes an extension of your body because of the familiarity gained by carrying it over time.   Cane Protection

Cane Protection's Background

Cane Protection's Interests & Activities

About Laird Angus McIntosh, author of "The BadAss Cane" I grew up in KY, TN, MI, and NY. I got thrown out of SUNY Purchase for drug use and failing grades. I kind of graduated from Hunter College 3 years later with a double BA in History and Psychology. (I never filed for my diploma.) I considered attending grad school but studied martial arts and Zen instead. I earned black belts in both Aikido and Tai Chi Chuan and studied other arts less seriously. I read voraciously and can hold my own on most topics, except maybe math. I've washed dishes, worked in a warehouse, spent 4 years at IBM, managed and then bought for a chain of independent bookstores, been a personal trainer specializing in mind-body relationships, started and closed a dojo, founded a nonprofit, worked with high need kids, and started the Temple of the Circus Monkey. As an adult, I've lived in NYC, Los Angeles, Oakland, and San Francisco. I like Asian girls, sex, motorcycles, rum, cigars, eating out, Coca-Cola, hard boiled detective stories, bad movies, and game shows. I have the attention span of a teenage gnat.
