You see here which are much shallower down at this end near the base of the Dynamo Walking Cane and at this end near the handle are really just there is gripping surfaces these allow me to get a more precise grip on the cane make it less likely that someone can pull the cane out of my hand as you can see if I hold here where it's more smooth and I pull like an move my hand around that very quickly and easily with these knurled areas these shallow notches I get much better purchase similarly on this end if I'm going to be using a technique that requires me to hold down at the bottom of the cane so that I'm striking with this larger surface if I'm having to hit someone or I'm trapping or in some way using the hook as a tool against someone again this area will give me a better purchase on the cane itself the hook area is also very important on a fighting cane this hook area is actually much wider than you will see on a standard walking cane the hook that comes in and actually closes can't be used to trap limbs can't be used to hook around the wrists.
For example it's also going to be harder to take and twist the cane quickly in the hand if I need to do that you'll see a technique very soon where if someone grabs my hand I can use that twisting motion to create a trap to create pressure on their wrists and escape from that grasp or maintain control well if this hook comes in very tightly I can't make that twist maneuver nearly as easily so a wider opening on the hook is actually preferable for a fighting cane and the last thing we'll look at is the point at the hook now this is not very sharp you can see here that this comes down to a little bit of an edge but it's certainly not going to cut skin I can rub it against the back of my hand I can poke it against my arm and this isn't going to break skin it's not sharp by any stretch but it is a concentrated point that will again focus pressure.
When we see some of the techniques where we're going to apply pressure with this point into the hand to make someone release us if they've grabbed us from behind or even into their kidney area if they're behind us and we're pulling forward or if they're in front of us and we're pulling in towards us that hook being pointy being a little bit sharper than normal is going to allow us to concentrate that pain effect cause more discomfort and be able to use our techniques more effectively so remember when it comes to choosing a tool for personal defence that tool that you're going to carry with you and rely on during the worst case scenario the simple hooked Dynamo Walking cane or Walking Cane for Womens that you're going to find at the pharmacy or the medical supply shop is probably the best bet it's the one that isn't going to raise too many eyebrows you're going to be able to carry it with you and you're going to be able to execute the techniques that we talked about very very efficiently if you look for a custom-made cane a cane it's actually purpose-built for personal defence or for fighting there are several good places you can find them they're going to be a little more expensive but they're probably worth the price if you're serious about personal cane defense check out more articles just like this one at the personal defense Network you
