Book Reviews of Raising Cane - The Unexpected Martial Art
Book Review: A good basic guide to using the hooked cane for self-defense.
Summary: 4 Stars
As I have mentioned previously in some of my reviews, drawings are in most cases better than photographs when showing physical action. However, the type of drawings in this book took a little getting used to because they are different from most figure drawings. Nevertheless, the information is clear and in combination with the drawings make this an excellent basic guide to using the cane. I also agree in part with one reviewer who was 74 years old. Many of the techniques are a little advanced, but there are enough basic techniques to satisfy anyone who carries a cane. One of the things that I have noticed in most "use of cane for self-defense" texts, is that they do not take into consideration, that the person using the cane may actually need it to be able to even stand without falling. In this case, it is suggested the person needs to lean against a solid object in order to use the cane to defend him or herself. In conclusion, this is a good basic guide to using the cane for self-defense, but I strongly suggest an individual get a hands-on lesson from an instructor for best results. Rating: 4 Stars.
