@maddow I wish "Cane fighting!!" could be my new ringtone.

It's been a while since we had a new ringtone, so I think we're due:
mp3: Cane fighting!
It's probably a bad idea to think too deeply about the World Net Daily superstore, but something that kind of baffles me about the cane fighting instructional DVDs is that a person who is already online to access the store can also access the vast wisdom of the internet dojo's virtual sensei. Why not save yourself the $20 and start your training with the master below:





Pssst, they make canes with Derringers hidden in the handle. They make some that are in reality scabbords for swords. Then there was the spy murdered by an unbrella that had a poisoned tip.
Sic 'em gramps, before they take away your SSI and your voting rights.
Now if somebody would make armor plated walkers with machine gun mounts and rockets.
Awesome idea, I'm on it!
McCain fighting would be more fun.
Or maybe Palin fighting off the Russians from her house using a flashlight from Reagan era star wars fame?
See, I was more hoping for Herman Cain fighting.
I think Cain and Abel fought, now that we know that twins fight inside the womb, I wish we could get rid of the violent gene within us all.
They wouldn't allow any pinko commie pony tailed instructors on WND!
I wouldn't mess with that dude. The deft way he moves that stick around his midsection is frightening.
As a government certified Geezer I can see the advantages of a cane for self defense- but ONLY (like the gent) if you don't need it!
As for me, I prefer to riff on Mae West's signature remark: "No, I am NOT glad to see you, and yes, that IS a pistol in my pocket."
Why don't you come up and see me sometime. (just kidding). Your picture eminates a certain aura which defines you.
What am I watching this for ?.......I can't remember......stuff like that.Have fun....cut.....
What's this stamp on the cane say? Product of Gang Of Four Enterprises Hung Shu,China? Fine print...Not responsible for damages to U.S. markets or American jobs?
I'm not a doctor or physical therapist, but I've been in physical therapy before, and well, isn't it really bad advice to tell someone that if you don't work out until you can't talk comfortably, you're not doing it "hard enough?" I seem to remember being told multiple times, "You should still be able to hold a conversation. If you can't, stop exercising, but don't stop moving, and get some water."
Does this guy even have the standard exercise video disclaimers on his video, like, "See your doctor and make sure you're approved for physical exercise first?"
Listen, dude......he's just what the Doctor ordered.
You're too funny!
Yes, you are.
In fairness, while yeah, it's funny on the surface, cane fighting has been around for a long time, like 19th century long, is practiced in several countries, and isn't really any sillier then learning to fight with a staff. A cane is just a short staff with a hooked end, right?
Now, I'm not defending the the DVD on the website. I have no idea how "good" or "bad" it is. And World Net Daily is a joke. But "cane fighting' is not inherently a stupid thing by any means.
