It would help if you also learned to recognize dangerous situations . For example, assume an unfriendly-looking man near you steps back with his right foot and scratches his chin with his right hand.

Half of self-defense is knowing how to avoid having to fight, and that can often be accomplished by common sense, cane twirling, and not looking like a target. The other half is knowing how to protect yourself with the cane and to recognize dangerous situations.

Cops say there is a 90-to- 95 percent chance the person is preparing to unleash a roundhouse punch at you.

Cops of those days used the billy club (also called a nightstick or baton). Billy clubs were eventually phased out in favor of non-lethal weapons like pepper spray and tasers.

In many jurisdictions, it is illegal to carry a club, but it is always acceptable to walk with a cane. Protect yourself with a cane. It's probably the best protection you can have unless you want to carry a gun or a knife.

The companion volume to La Boxe Française, La Canne offers Charlemont's rough and ready guide to the use of a cane as a serious weapon of self defense. Derived from the techniques of saber fencing, La Canne is a purely European stick fighting system which will surprise any curious dabbler who takes up a solidly made cane and delivers a few good looping whacks to a heavy bag or tree with it. The fighting cane will knock a man senseless, shatter a knee, forearm, or wrist, splinter a finger and bust a rib or three with relative ease. In 1899 canes were ubiquitous, an essential accessory for every gentlemen that was often opted for by ladies as well. While many a sly fellow had a rapier hidden in his cane, Charlemont's system made this unnecessary, as a skilled stick fighter could put a knife wielding robber away with the power of Newtonian physics and a piece of polished hardwood. Whether or not canes make a comeback as an everyday fashion statement remains to be seen, but there is certainly nothing wrong with the average citizen carrying one for style, support, and something to point at stuff with.
