Nei Jia Cane Seminar – Internal Arts Cane Self Defense
with Tom Bisio
The Nei Jia Cane is based on a few key movements that reveal a wealth of practical self-defense techniques using the standard wooden cane with a crooked end. Hidden within the Nei Jia Cane Form (a short solo practice form) are strikes, throws, locks, body disruptions, subtle tactics and body evasions that allow smooth transitions between offense and defense. The cane is a unique weapon that combines skills from the sword, broadsword, spear and staff, and the curved handle adds it own unique dimensions to the mix.
In this six-hour seminar students will learn:
- Basic techniques
- The Nei Jia Cane Form
- Many practical self-defense applications
The movements of the Nei Jia Cane blend principles from Tai Ji, Xing Yi and Ba Gua, and are thus easily adapted to any style. Instructor Tom Bisio will also demonstrate how the form can be adapted to reflect these different styles.
Who Can Register: This class is open to anyone with a basic background in Tai Ji, Xing Yi or Ba Gua and highly recommended for members of Internal Arts International.

But not just for them – the Inner Power book offers answers to a lot of problems that we all solve. After all, Chinese strategists have struggled with the question of how to achieve success in the seemingly chaotic world, for centuries. Their answer is the need to understand the natural order of the world in order to achieve harmony. And harmony is what we may miss today most of all. This book is so incredibly useful to anyone who thinks about the world, seeking guidance on how to strategically address a variety of living or working situations, and how to understand the principles that human society has been working for several thousand years.”
