 Posted: Sun Mar 09, 2014 7:36 am Post subject: Which cane fighting system to study |
 |
|
Hopefully I can get some good feedback. I am a new member and this is my 1st post.
I have been practicing Tai Chi for over 20 years and dabbled in the various stick fighting arts for about 10 years. I have had no formal training in any stick fighting techniques-only DVDs and partner work with a friend.
Recently, I found some interesting cane fighting videos on youtube and am interested in pursuing a formal learning/training program with a cane. It seems like there are 2 major "schools" with formal training programs.
1) Cane Masters with Mark Shuey as the head honcho
2) American Cane Self Defense with Joe Robaino
Any thoughts and or experience in either of these schools?
I appreciate any feedback at all. Thank you for your help
Sincerely, John |

There are three kinds of cane fighting that I know of; and they are very different.
Tai Ji Chuan
Bataireacht, Irish Stick Fighting
Bartitsu – The Gentleman’s Art of Self Defense
I'm not an expert, but I remember Irish traveler families on Anglesey always carrying their shillelagh.

There was a spate of Bartitsu ads on FB a few months ago; I believe that there is an academy in London. They use Sherlock Holmes as a figure in their advertising; I find them curious to say the least old bean.
