Elderly Americans are learning to defend themselves. Luckily for them, a certain martial art makes a weapon out of something that they usually have at hand - a walking stick. The benefits of cane-fu for the elderly are two fold, combining self-defense and exercize.

  • A Campbell Cane could be an interesting senior defense device. I was asked last year about designing a cane that could be functional, artistic and defensive. The latest design fits this description. I was involved in martial arts in the 60's..now I am way over 60. I would not want to be on the other end.

  • You think that everyone on Earth is selfish. Yes. I would want to be put in a home. Because there will be several younger people that will get to work late because I'm taking my sweet time crossing the fuckin' street. Or I'll get sick with cancer or some other terminal disease, and anchor my family with the burden of having to watch over and hope that my old, decrepit body can fight off something irreversible. -.- Seriously, old people suck. And I will get there too.

  • So when you are 60+ you are saying you should be put in a home? or does this comment not apply to you..

  • I've trained and taught for many years and this is one common day item that I have advised people that can be used when needed.I call this a dual purpose item.

  • Interesting

  • not really, thats a legitimate defense method. its a kung fu weapon. this is way different that the original kung fu form but it is effective

  • you have no sound in half or more of every video ,i try to send a email a few time but u have a lock on for friend only many people have tried to sent emails i bet ,we would like to watch ur videos but you need to correct your editing

  • No Joke. I am one of the assistants in this video and yes this works and is extremely effective.
