 Good setJan 13, 2009
By Thomas O. Morrison
As a student of the cane, I've been using these two volumes as my core study material, slowly getting deeper and deeper into the material and trying it out on battered partners as time allows. The set represents quite a lot of material to learn, practice, and become good at. I have augmented/experimented with/examined other resources but so far I prefer the ICHF material for our school's purposes. For other resources the Canemasters material is good and Alain Burrese's Cane DVD is awesome.
Volume one covers a lot of one handed striking as well as some two handed striking. In the video, GM P uses a simple aluminum cane and recommends this type for its speed and lightness. Sometimes I use an aluminum one and it makes for very quick strikes (and I generaly assume that 90% of what I'll do with the cane will be a strike). Adapting this to the heavier wooden Canemaster canes (which I prefer) takes a lot of time, mainly in building up the hand,wrist, arm and core strength to use them quickly. Luckily the Canemaster material provides for lots of drills.
Volume one then gets into defenses vs punchs, free and cane hand grabs, shaft grabs, chokes, kick defenses, and bear hug defenses. Overall a nice variety of material ranging from strikes to leverage technqiues to locks. Overall the first tape covers "the bulk of the basics" and I would recommend it to anyone interested in the cane.
Volume two picks up on punch defenses, grab defenses, and choke defenses and then adds a nice section on knife defenses. This material ties in nicely to the first volume and I recommend becoming fully confident and competant with the first volume before exploring the second.
Overall, this is one of my favorite ICHF video sets and I think it represents a solid introduction to the cane, which could be further explored though other means afterwards. Excellent set and highly recommended.

 Many Complex MovesFeb 18, 2010
By Rocannon MacGregor
"zenfire"
If you are looking for many advanced Cane techniques this could be a reasonable purchase. If you are looking for beginning moves...yes there are plenty of them. Navigating through them must be done with fast forward. No chapters to choose from. The moves are repeated several times and acted out smoothly and clearly. Personally I found much more valuable and practical training in the Cold Steel DVD.
