( The way of the walking stick and Umbrella )
An excellent self defense system for the elderly using an average walking cane. Also sturdy umbrellas can be used as well, so this is useful for many ages and sizes. A practical easy to apply mixture of techniques derived from the circular motions and hooking of the Ancient Proven Chinese Kung fu weapons; Hook (Gou) and Blunt Staff (Pam) and the deception and disorientation techniques of the Weapon Fan ( Sin ) and the Japanese weapon; " Jutte ". Modified Jutte techniques are used by some American Police agencies.

-Closing and Q.and A..

*Because of the fact most people are not used to hitting / hurting people. Our program is not focused on something you don't usually do, like hitting. Your first time hitting someone, your punching debut might not work as well as you think against an outraged, crazy. intoxicated, experienced attacker feeling no pain. It most likely may cause more harm than good it you are average sized with no street experienced. At CAI we teach simple, smart, twisting, turning, clever escapes using your whole body and running. However, if your life is in danger, we teach simple to the point attacks and brutal last resort techniques.

Street Safety Tips

1. Avoid going out if you don't feel well (sick, upset). Always Look Strong.

2. Go out with friends or groups, if possible.

3. Wear good shoes for easy mobility.

4. If someones following you, go to a well lit populated area.

5. Be aware. However, don't look paranoid. If you see someone suspicious, avoid walking near them,or make brief eye contact, so they know your aware of them.

6.RUN if possible, 66% of attacks are stopped, just by running.

7. If being robbed don't fight, UNLESS your LIFE is in danger. Fighting back often increases the anger and violence of the attack. Give up your valuables, NOT your LIFE.
Don't fight, only fight back. Escape first if possible.

8. If you must fight. A. Escape B. Run C. Attract attention, (HELP!!, FIRE!!)

9. Learning to escape and run is the most practical. Most people don't have the experience hitting people in REAL situations, and often are ineffective. Therefore, your techniques shouldn't be based on hitting. But, easy, practical, limited, functional moves that frees you and buys you time to escape and run.
It Usually takes many years in a Martial Arts to be effective on the Street. Chuntian Academy is offering a true short cut that works and has been proven to do so.

10. REMEMBER. a.Alarm devices are often ignored. b. Some people have studied a Martial Art or Sport. THE STREET IS REAL AND NOT THE DOJO, GYM, OR RING. THE WORLD / STREET IS NOT A SPORT, KATA, OR MATCH. WARNING: YOU, LIKE 95% of STUDENTS IN MARTIAL ARTS TODAY MAY HAVE A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY, DON'T LEARN THE HARD WAY LIKE I DID.

NOTE: Many Schools have Self-Defense Programs. Make sure they're not theory, but proven. Try to find a program with Police Officers enrolled.
That way you can get regular daily feedback on what truly works on the street. Make sure your schools don't rely too much on hardness, power, hitting or kicking too much at first. Short, simple techniques, escapes are what you want. Make sure the techniques don't have too many movements, or are focused or rely on inflicting pain. They may work in the dojo because training partners are usually sane and sober feeling pain. But the fact is on the street the attacker is usually resistant to pain because of drugs, alcohol, rage, etc.
Chuntian Academy's Techniques are usually 3 movements with back ups not relying on muscle or attempting to inflict pain. If you make a mistake , No Problem, there's another Technique right there.'Go with the flow and K.I.S.S.- K.eep I.t S.imple S.enior.

A. ATTITUDE - Value yourself not the Criminal

B. BELIEVE IT !- If someone grabs you, and you don't know the S.O.B., Let Fly! Go to it! ESCAPE! RUN!!

C. Continue, Go, Go, Go Never Give Up !!
