Senior Citizens Learn Self Defense with Canes

The seminar presented essential skills to the senior citizens who attended by imparting techniques that illustrated how they can utilize their canes in order to protect themselves from a potential threat.

One technique demonstrated was knowing how to effectively strike an offenders knees instead of simply targeting their groin. This is because the groin is often hard to reach while the impact may not be as effective because of the clothing in the way.

However, the knees are ideal because the suspect won’t realize it is coming which will make it hard for someone to follow your train of thought. Of course, that’s not to say you shouldn’t aim for the groin area, but this should only be attempted if a direct hit is certain which will ultimately bring down the offender in question.

These days it’s important for senior citizens to have a form of protection on hand. As many of them employ canes to walk around, what better way to maintain their protection then through the assistance of a cane?

Not only that, but if employed correctly this can prove an extremely powerful weapon for a person’s self defense. It also means that they won’t have to worry about their safety while they are out and about as they will have an unsuspecting device that they can call upon in a moment’s notice.
