The problem is, when you show him fighting with the cane, all he has to do is grab the cane with his free hand and LIFT the cane up(not pull down) towards you and he escapes the arm bar.
If someone has got that close to me that they can punch me in the head, then most likely I will be taking a punch. If I supect a fight, I will always keep some distance. This sort of stuff is nice in theory, but when the adrenalin starts pumping, for most people all the fancy moves go right out the window and basic club-like striking will take over. For real fighting, learning to hit with jabing and slashing strikes will be much more effective overall. Just my opinion based on real situations.
@OutsideTheEdge the problem with jabbing and slashing and the striking arts in general is that for the most part you are trained to execute the technique to really hurt the person whose attacking you, at least with this type of thing you can dictate the terms of the fight so that you both go home.
I'm not sure if your being sarcastic, or if your being serious, but if you listen closely to what Robaina is saying, you see that if the mugger goes to grab the cane, he is actually pulling down on the cane thus making it more painful for him, and a lot easier for Robaina to take him down.

It's rare to see practical and realistic techniques on youtube. I love when the ukay puts the arm bar on for you.
