Cane-Fu

Very cool new program.

This is the new world of self-defense for seniors, at least as taught by Shuey, founder of Cane Masters, a Lake Tahoe, Nev.-based company that manufactures custom canes.

Shuey, a tae kwon do and hapkido expert, created an exercise and self-defense program for seniors using their canes. He travels around the world teaching them his course.

He calls it Cane-Fu.

“The cane is more than a crutch,” Shuey says. “They can feel empowered by it.”
