Instant Power For Women: Women (and young folks in general) often don’t want to be seen carrying a Cane due to the stigma associated with it. However, when self-defense is a must, the Cane is not a crutch. People including women and children considered “soft targets” put themselves in bad situations by choosing the wrong time/place to carry out common everyday tasks. Reality based scenarios that demonstrate the leverage a Cane can provide(versus empty hands) in a high stress situation can be an eye –opener for women and younger folks.
