Cane Do for Seniors

What is Cane Do you ask? It means “the way of the cane”. Our Cane Do program is perfect for seniors, as it allows them to take advantage of their canes, familiar objects they always have with them, in order to increase their physical health and their ability to defend themselves against an attack. With our Cane Do program, seniors will exercise their bodies in new ways, while at the same time learning how to use their canes as defensive weapons. We will teach them how to block and strike, using the crook, shaft and tip of their canes. They will find that just acquiring and practicing the moves learned in this program will be an excellent work-out, and if they ever find themselves in a dangerous situation in which these skills become necessary, they will know how to respond effectively.

There are not many self defense programs tailor-made for those who use a cane in their everyday lives. Your facility, by deciding to offer Cane Do to your residents/members, is providing them with the distinctive opportunity to participate in a unique program which teaches them how to turn their canes, which an assailant might view as a symbol of weakness, into objects of strength.
