@barbb When you come to think of it, a cane is a pretty useful tool as a self-defense weapon in many different types of situations. I have had training in martial arts, and we used short sticks. Also, I did weaponless defense training with a law enforcement agency, and was able to show them some tricks I had using a cane. It was something that they had not thought too much about so it was a real eye-opener for them!

Hey Ginger. What system did you train under? I got involved in my mid 20’s and stopped when I had an accident (37-38 yrs) shattered my leg and couldn’t take the beatings. My main system I trained in was Kajukenbo and TumPai but as you ranked you were expected to expand your understanding of the art by incorporating other schools of martial arts. In the school I was in, you learned weaponry. I took the iron fan as my signature weapon and had to put together a kata/form using the weapon. Like you. our local policemen attended weaponry classes. In fact, three of the students became police officers. Did you learn any other weaponry or rank? I competed in fighting. Did you do any of that? I’d love to hear about It. I don’t run into too many women (in our age group) that had martial training virgo 1952
