Self Defense with the Walking Cane

Absolutely!

While there are some advantages to learning in a classroom setting, there are also disadvantages. For example, once the class is over, you don’t have the teacher there to help you in your daily practice. Our experience is that in a classroom setting, students often have difficulty remembering corrections they receive. In an online program you can go over the detailed instruction and corrections again and again via the pdf and videos. A common complaint from students in a classroom setting is that the class moves too slowly or too quickly, or not enough time is spent on certain exercises which are particularly difficult. So another advantage of our online learning program is you can learn at your own speed.

And you don’t need a partner to practice the techniques and methods taught in the course. The unique structure of the Nei Jia Cane learning method teaches you to make all the movements automatic and reflexive.

The Self Defense with a Walking Cane Online Learning Program is appropriate for both beginners and experienced practitioners. The course takes you from basic principles and techniques to more advanced techniques that are based on the internal mechanics developed by Chinese Internal Martial Arts. The Nei Jia Cane form, an important part of this course, has much to offer both the beginner and experienced martial artists. In live seminars, I have taught these techniques to beginners, experienced marital artists, and even to those with extensive experience in Filipino stick fighting methods, and all participants came away satisfied.

The cane self-defense methods in this course are explained clearly and in such detail that you will not be disappointed, whether you are a beginning student or an experienced practitioner. We promise to provide all the critical details of correct practice, and to offer a depth of understanding that guarantees you will properly learn the practical skills of cane self-defense.

Starting January 1, 2015, the European Union (EU) made a major change to its VAT regulations, that now requires businesses to pay VAT according to the locations of consumers. This law was meant mainly for large companies that have been avoiding higher taxes by establishing presences in places with lower VAT. Unfortunately, the regulation change also put a burden on independent creators who sell digital products to customers in Europe.

We’re unhappy with this new law as it puts a large burden on us, and you, the customer, end up paying more. However, we are forced to comply with the new law. We use Gumroad as the payment portal because they are reliable and trusted, and in addition they now collect the VAT automatically. We do not personally collect or receive the VAT. The VAT is collected by Gumroad and distributed to the proper authorities in each country by Gumroad.

If you are also unhappy with the new VAT law, we suggest you contact the appropriate local representative in your country.

It is not possible to answer everyone’s questions about training and many questions are impossible to answer through words alone. We encourage you to practice the material as many questions can only be answered through practice. We do offer workshops periodically in New York City and Europe, so if you feel the need to fine-tune your practice, it might be useful to attend a workshop in person.
