If you are right-handed, place your left foot forward so that you stand shoulder-wide with your feet slightly offset. Our starting and guard position comes from the Philippine stick martial art "Eskrima" by Heyrosa De Cuerdas. The walking stick - more than just a support The more our physical strength fades, the simpler and more efficient our defense tactics must be. In addition, we are evolving from a person who decides to use a walking stick to an elderly person who may need a walking stick. Especially if you know how to deal with it. This image of the walking stick as well as the fact that it can of course be used without medical necessity, make it the ultimate "politically correct" defensive tool. In modern life, however, it is primarily seen as a mobility aid for the infirm and injured. Throughout history it has been a fashionable accessory in many cultures, as well as a means of defense. One of the few weapons that meets all these criteria is the walking stick, or cane. Especially if you take strongly regulated places into account. On closer examination of these requirements, it becomes clear that they are not met by many types of weapons – be it the handgun, the knife or the OC spray. The perfect weapon is the one that can be used effectively against a wide range of attacks, is easy and comfortable to wield and, above all, is legal – wherever you live or travel. That's good, especially since one must assume that an attacker could also be armed. Here it should be clear that we increase our effectiveness and thus the degree of our defense by these means. Already in the fifth part of our series we dealt with the use of improvised weapons such as a flashlight.
