You are obviously not an old person with a cane. The cane is viewed as a sign of weakness, not a weapon. A cop friend of mine said the lapel grab is a common "tough guy" move. That's where I learned the technique.


If you say so. I am not dumb enough to grab a guy by his lapels if he has a cane in his hands. Especially a cranky old guy..... eek Seems like the smarter thing to do would be to try and grab the cane. But...that's neither here nor there as they say.
