VOICED: Martial arts for the elderly: yes we cane!

Cane fu is a self-defense and exercise program for seniors, taught in retirement homes to build confidence and provide protection. Students, including those with disabilities, learn basic and advanced techniques to defend themselves. Despite being the least targeted by violent crime, seniors are increasingly adopting cane fu, with over 100 schools in the US offering classes.
