Fighting back: Disabled self-defense with new DVD

Some of the more vulnerable persons in society may now have a better chance to defend themselves with the help of a new DVD.

Secure Living Online has recently produced “Cane-Fu: Moving Beyond Disabilities” to help guide those confined to a wheelchair or cane dependent individuals to protect themselves in the event of an attack.

“It’s the very first DVD of its kind” said Clifford Crandall, who is on the board of directors for Secure Living Online. Crandall said he realized after teaching self-defense for over 20 years for women, children and men, that they had not covered those with disabilities.

“This knowledge is good for everybody,” he said. “People with disabilities are preyed on and it’s a sad note for our society, but it has to be dealt with.”

Crandall, who is a grand master with over 45 years of martial arts training and founder of the American Martial Arts Institute, said it took about two years to put the DVD together. He said much of the DVD is about taking the proper precautions for secure living, with the second portion focused on what to do in a physical attack.
