Basic Moves with Cane saves 91 year old
91-Year-Old Uses Cane To Fight Off Attacker
33-Year-Old Man Arrested In Case POSTED: 5:09 pm CDT June 14, 2007 UPDATED: 11:00 pm CDT June 14, 2007 Email This Story | Print This Story Sign Up for Breaking News Alerts LAWRENCE, Kan. -- A 91-year-old man was attacked on the street this week, but he used his cane to fight back. Lincoln Johnson, of Lawrence, said he is bruised and sore from Tuesday's attack. Johnson was sitting with a friend along a Lawrence walkway when a man came at them wielding a piece of concrete as a weapon. "I don't know what was wrong with him, he was ranting and raving," Johnson told KMBC's Maria Antonia. "And he lifted (the concrete) over his head and came at us." Johnson and the man fell to the ground during the struggle, and Johnson used his walking cane to protect himself. "I threw my cane up, tried to block it and get by," Johnson said. "I didn't have time to be scared -- I didn't know what was happening." Johnson's cane, which is a family heirloom, broke in two. His friend glued it back together, but it isn't as sturdy and Johnson must find a new cane. Meanwhile, Johnson said he didn't tell his relatives about the attack until Thursday because he didn't want them to worry. "I feel fine, just a little sore and stiff, that's all," Johnson said. "Just trying to get from one day to the next." Police said a 33-year-old man has been arrested in the case. Charges are pending. It is not clear what was the motive for the attack.

Most traditional asian arts teach the cane as an improvised weapon.
Some kind of Japanese-style cane defense? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stDFpmzQjDM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaQ2zptNh0o Kuk Sool Won - fighting with a cane. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKJNDbc-V2I An umbrella designed for high impact. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO8G5zsQohg Wu-Tang Cane techniques and WW2 Combatives http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtiAMkW8KAY
