The more tools one knows how to use defensively, the better. I've given people ambi capability in 10 hours of double stick training without their even knowing it, until I asked them to drop the strong side stick and use only their off side arm/hand..

I fly with the cane, and a kubaton [ another very effective up close and personal implement ]. The cane is an "unconventional" weapon that one can have with them in non permissive environments [ NPE's ].

Appreciate your thoughts as well sir.

So true that! First time I attended your class I had a serious handicap on the weak arm, but the second time I really took advantage of it and I thank you for giving use to the weak hand/arm. Shooting was not a problem, but movement coordination was. I have a lot to thank your classes for. Such a shame I had to miss this one!

Not the cane class.... You wouldn't see me with a cane even if the doctor prescribe it

You're welcome young lady, glad to have helped you discover that "other" arm of yours.

I must say, I'm impressed. That looks like a weekend of incredibly useful training. I guess the difficult part is keeping those skills sharp when you're back home and without a sparring partner. How do y'all practice on your own?

That's the bad part when you don't have a sparring partner or a group to practice... Except for this year, I've been able to get together on this or similar classes at least once or twice per year.

Brownie overwhelms you in the weekend so you take home a couple of techniques/movements, or more than a couple if you have previous training. At this pace, I hope he keeps in the business 15 more years........

If you can bring me up to speed on the basics, I'd join you for some sparring.

It's hard without a partner with you in class you can both train together later with. It took me 3 years with Keating to be able to perform/remember everything from the first course. There's a lot of material covered and the exposure to a lot of material isn't expected to be remembered, but the concepts of the tool are ingrained, then it's up to each to get back home and get to work while it's still fresh.

I swung the sticks in the air for 3 years about 1-1.5 hrs a day so I wouldn't forget, then it was so ingrained that I could do it in my sleep.

Looks like fun!
