It is better to prepare than to panic.

Training with a self defense cane or a walking stick for self defense gives you great options for self defense against a bigger attacker, multiple attackers, and an attack with a knife or other bladed weapon.

The principles of self defense with a self defense cane or walking stick for self defense are very straightforward and simple.

First, pay attention to your environment at all times,

Situational awareness requires that you put your phone down and get your head up!

And speaking of keeping your head up, make sure you have your head on a swivel, looking behind you and to the right and left, not just straight ahead.

Secondly, you must get into a better position when you feel threatened.

Step back with one foot and get your self defense cane or walking stick for self defense, up and between you and the threat.

The third principle of self defense requires you to ask yourself a simple question.

Take a deep breath and ask yourself “What targets can I remove or destroy?” for self defense.

That question means that you need to determine what areas of the body you will strike to cause damage or disruption for self defense.

For example, you might strike the eyes to remove the threat’s ability to see you clearly.

Or, you might strike the throat of the threat with your self defense cane or walking stick for self defense to take away the threats ability to breath temporarily or permanently.

This principle of self defense requires that you understand the use of violence to stop the threat.

It’s not pretty or kind, but the threat is life or death, you are him, so you will use violence to stop violence.
