Raising Canes; the video
Ted Truscott
is the old guy with the big stick who believes everyone can defend themselves. He has 35 years experience with martial systems and teaching older, non-athletic people cane self defence for the street, incidents of road rage and home invasions.
If you can
- play tennis or golf
- if you can dance
You can learn and practice the use of the cane or walking stick for self defence…
Though the production quality is amazingly bad, (so bad I call it the Ugly Cat on a Mud Fence Production!), the techniques are clearly legible and the video WILL teach you how to use your cane for fighting:
This 60 minute video describes our full beginner’s program including:
- easy and safe warm ups
- how to hit with power
- the strikes with various parts of the cane
- practical and realistic self defence
- and much more

Testimonials:
For those who don’t know, I did an amateur vid, a home grown video of my approach to the use of the cane for self defence. To get some feedback I "sold" it to some kind folks who took a chance on me (after telling them how lousy the production was) if they would review it and let me quote them.
Here are some of the replies I got:
"I think you got a simple and very practical course. Go commercial. You may want to make it longer however if you see fit do do it." (ps - it’s about an hour long)
"I am in the process of reviewing the tape. All I can say is that so far all of the techniques taught look extremely practical and efficient. I will definitely use your techniques for my street cane defence. I learned a few things that I have never thought about or was never taught before.."

"I viewed other cane tapes and found their techniques so complicated that you could never use them on the street. My idea is that if you cannot learn a technique in a matter of a few minutes, it will not work on the street. I like your style of teaching and it is too bad you live several thousand miles away or I could train with you guys."
"I was always interested in how older people or people of weaker body builds can effectively defend themselves against stronger and multiple opponents if that is all possible without using handguns. Every time I try to mention it to various MA’s, I never get too much of an answer. It was an unanswerable question I thought. You and your cane fighting tape are the only two entities that have tried to address this issue. Never saw it anywhere else…Thanks for the tape and help."
