Cane Defense for Seniors: Simple Effective Techniques for Protecting Yourself with a Walking Cane

By Harry Oxenhandler M.D.

In today's insane world, where crime is rampant, and often goes on punished, a sturdy, wooden walking cane can save your life if you know how to use it. We, senior citizens, are not what we used to be physically and the walking cane is a great equalizer. Not only is it a devastating self-defense weapon, but it is also the only effective, self protection weapon that is LEGAL to carry with you everywhere; in airports, on airplanes, in government, buildings, banks, and even in schools where other weapons are strictly prohibited. When you learn these easy techniques clearly demonstrated with over 75 large illustrations, you will feel safer and more confident out in the world. The author holds a second-degree black belt in Hapkido and self-defense, and has carried a wooden walking cane for over 15 years.
