Our take on the Swords to Canes

Swords to Canes is a martial arts book by Dr Angus McIntosh about turning weapons training into practical cane self-defense. It shows how to adapt staff and sword forms to the walking cane, including a 31-move cane kata for daily practice. It suits martial artists who want a legal, carryable weapon and a bridge from dojo forms to real-world use. It is a niche instructional title, so it competes on the depth of its kata and its focus on legal carry rather than on glossy production or broad appeal.
