This may work for "Yoda" type seniors. But for the vast majority that use a cane, everyday is a blessing if they can make it up the stairs, make it across the streets without the lights changing or not break their hips.
@@GeneBurnett Maybe more middle of the road 50s to 70s when there's still a fair bit of mobility but slower reactions and handspeed at close range that make using the hands more difficult.
If you need a cane to walk, there's no way you're going to be able to do that kind of footwork. You also might not be able to swing it. That older lady who beat up her attacker wasn't using a cane; she grabbed a stick off the ground. She was probably already quite able.
YEAH!!! A video with me in mind,,, something for us old guys LOL
Thanks Sifu Chan for the great Defence video and your comments. Always great to watch.
Most excellent advice.
Great video, have incorporated into my Aikido training.
A cane or full length umbrealla is ideal. You could also carry a retractable umbrella and use it like a police baton on soft targets.
Thanks Sifu Chan

Yup. If you can do that stuff, you don't need a cane! ;~)

I watched, Hard Target with jean claude vandamme, because i want to be a hard target for people to get me..
There used to be a whole art dedicated to the waking stick
Are you perhaps referring to bartitsu or tanjojutsu?
Dude I can barely put on my sock in the morning. Nice try though.
