Red in the grooves of one club, white in the other.

A great video will watch it several times, I'm getting older and don't remember like I used to.

Great vid as always. Thanks for sharing.

The chain of mine is bigger. Is that ok?

Once again, thank you for all that you do. Thank you for teaching the right mindset. Thank you for teaching the moves. While i understand the principle, I'm the kind of guy who would suffer "paralysis by analysis" if I were in a situation and didn't have some moves or techniques in my mind already. I'm a thinker more than a doer. I'm not going to move instinctually because my brain works in a way where analysis overcomes instinct much of the time. I've practiced the initial cane thrust so many times that my "analysis" now goes to the cane thrust immediately. Would I perform that thrust well in a real scenario? I hope I never find out. On the other hand, a part of me feels that all of us are going to face violence, and if it it must come, a part of me wishes that it would come and be done instead of me having to anticipate that situation for the rest of my life. Whether my second move would be a two-handed wooden bar smash directly into my attacker or a two-handed cane tip swing from the outside would depend on how close the attacker is. I've practiced both quite a bit. I think my "analysis" has reached a point that I wouldn't sit around deciding. One or the other is coming. I don't have depth perception, so I might make the wrong move. At least I'll make it with commitment. Thank you for introducing me to Tim Miller. His work on UA-cam is also very important. A couple of years ago, I slipped on the ice and pulled my groin muscle pretty badly. While I understand that you mean an attack to the genitals when you talk about a groin strike, I became painfully aware that injury to that muscle would slow someone. If I somehow caused my attacker to have that kind of strain in his groin muscle, I might actually be able to get away from an attacker. I'm horribly slow, but if someone were dealing with that pain in that part of the leg, he might become slower than I am long enough for me to escape. Are you familiar with the Police Magnum line of pepper defense products? Another creator mentioned them recently. I'm toying with the idea of getting some pepper spray. I have carried various spray products at times in the past. Before my health failed, I had bear spray for hiking, and I still have a big canister of bear spray somewhere. I need to spray it away because it's so old. I understand that many vendors won't deal with PO Box addresses because so many people commit fraud through those addresses. Unfortunately, this policy by TeeSpring keeps me from ordering another of your shirts from them. My only billing address is a PO Box because my town doesn't offer home mail delivery. If you are still doing mail-in video training, I might try that. I haven't forgotten that idea. I've just been chasing other things. I'm also not good with video cameras or editing.

Excellent self defense class, great to see you posting videos regularly again.

Matt, I hope people realize that you just gave them information that could save their miserable lives. Some people talk about muscle memory and with sticks/canes/staff or whatever, it's gonna take some practice and self training to be able to be effective. That and hope that they never find themselves in a situation where they have to use it.

Thank you Matt. You're right, anything can be a weapon if you practice with it. You don't want to break your hands or fingers throwing punches. Let the stick or the cane do the work, you be the guide.

thanks Matt

how effective do you think the first move would be against a trained foe? I believe it is a very easy way to loose the Shillelagh.... you are offering the hammer part.... the one who grab a hold of this part, keeps the shillelagh.

hi matt thanks for the selfdefence teachings--salute my friend and teacher

Ye it's County wicklow

The tongue ...detailed work 😂 Great roundup , saving this for reference, thanks

Thank you Matt 🙏

Hi matt I know you're a very busy man I really enjoy watching you from the u k and your very excellent videos there's one thing I'd like to see and that's if you could write a walking stick martial arts book I just know with all your first class knowledge and fighting skills in your videos I know that your book will be the first book of choice and would soon be a top best seller

I can not make up my mind if I want a cane or a walking stick.

Good video Matt Have a Great Day Bio, Vegas

THANK YOU SO MUCH MATT 💓 🪈

Can you spin it

They won't let us join the Military at our age because we snore so loudly. I've never been a Militarist. I should permit myself a martial thought per day.

I walk with my hickory stick. Mashing it against concrete, asphalt, dirt, paint, (s sort of finished concrete?). Mushrooms the stick. That effort you cannot buy. Coat it with more oil! I heard hickory was good. I will be very disappointed if it cracks when I fight a live oak. I'd like to be surprised.

Matt. Are you walking with a limp? I heard you had your hips replaced.

Longer stick please. Like a walking stick, cane or quarter staff.

I have low ceilings in my apartment, so when practicing I have to avoid spins that go high, with the nunchucks or jo staff. I'll say one thing for the foam practice chucks, they save on your furniture. One time I was practicing with wood nunchucks and accidently smashed a lamp. I was very embarrassed. I learned the nunchucks starting in the 70s training at a Wado-Ryu karate dojo.

This really helped me making my form better

Hi Matt some how I hurt my right knee doing squatting, no weights,been limping an staying off my feet,same knee I hurt in my bike accident I told u about.have to cut my grass soon,push mower,problem,I am fatherless, or no kiddo .but I might be able to train with cane, hanbo,my routine was working. Until one leg squatting with a chair an my other leg helping,went races an the steps was to much .ABBA FATHER heal my right knee in my Lord Jesus name. Amen

RIP chosunNinja

Thanks!

use windmills.. looks same doesn't hurt

thanks Matt

What if they're close,in your face

Excellent self defense class

Finally, some reality. Cleaning all my subscriptions and this is certainly worthy.

What do you do if they grab the cain ? 🤔

Hi Matt, good to see you. Sorry i missed class. One thing not mentioned often is removing the rubber boot cap at the of the cane. Removing the rubber boot, as you have mentioned, increases the force the squared off end has. I have also been practicing using my blackthorn shillelagh on the heavy bag for speed, and power strikes with the leaded root ball. Stay safe. Doug.

Any Canadians or anti-2A state residents watching, if you can't get mace, then get a can of hornet spray, the kind that shoots out a long narrow spray. Keep it in the house somewhere you can grab quick. It will ruin an attackers day.

Thanks!

Greetings, How about a kata for close in defense.. Have a great day to all Bill, vegas

Thanks again Matt. It always is a pleasure to learn from you 🙏

I have got to say ! , the " Live Comments" are becoming annoying/ entertaining ..... Sensei Matt , great lesson and I am getting better at the techniques that you and I trained in. I like the " off the shoulders strike ..I typically have two canes that I am training with..I also like to keep a distance between me and the threat. I also like the great cardiovascular workout that I am getting from my training.. I also like your " Home Safety " advice ; I use my canes " Derby Style " handle under the door handle , it works as a " Door Brake " bar. Great lesson Sensei , Thank You.

Just interested to know what city you’re in

This is real beneficial self defence The information that could really save you

Matt, great videos regarding self defense uses of the Cane...I have been in Martial arts for >50 years...now at the age of 72, having old injuries slowing me down a bit, The cane is a great tool to use to equalize the odds in case of an assault on the street. Some of Your techniques are perfect extensions of the Bo techniques that I have practiced for many years.

Hi

Awesome, my brother wants these clubs bad.

Cà c'est trop facile

Thank you Matt 🙏

Where can you find nunchucks in everyday life for self defense
