The cane has been incorporated into martial arts systems for thousands of years. Learning everything about your cane is essential to becoming proficient in its use. Fortunately, such information is finally available in Dziadosz’ illustrated “How to Make Your Own Self-Defense Cane”. Dan is a master craftsman, as well as a cane practitioner, and explains every aspect of building a fighting cane. Whether or not you will ever build one yourself, the information Dan provides is fascinating and unavailable elsewhere. This is a highly recommended book for anyone who trains with canes!

Dziadosz began his woodworking career as a federally licensed gunsmith over thirty years ago, making custom gun stocks. Having studied martial arts since competing on his college judo and karate teams, he has studied several martial arts (becoming a certified Tao Zhang Dao Windmill Warrior) before taking his skills to making custom canes after his retirement. Through his web site, www.selfdefensecanes.com Dziadosz has made and sold hundreds of custom canes, and supplied several martial arts schools with self-defense canes.
One reader said: THANKS! This Book is Great! A Must Read! R.B.-Indiana Master Charles Davis says: I have worked with Dan for years as he created my line of custom crafted self- defense canes in American hardwoods. Dan works with customers to satisfy their needs and supplies the highest quality hand-crafted canes. Typical customer responses include: “…this is by far the best crafted, best looking cane with the heft I am looking for..” “This is the best of all the canes I have purchased!” Master Charles Davis, aka the “Ancient Dragon”, 7th Dan Black Belt in “Easton Self Defense” and recognized by the World Martial Arts Union as 3 RD Dan . 1st Dan Black Belt in “Analytical Combat”, recognized by the A.U.A (Academy of Universal Arts) as a 1st Dan Black Belt, and holds a Green Belt in Tae-kwon-Do.
