In July 2002 Sensei  Peterson earned his Shodan Rank in Goju Shorei Weapons and is only the second perosn to earn the rank of Black belt in Goju Shorei Weapons in the State of texas.

The  cane  is  probably  the  most  numerous and underrated    weapon    around.   We   see    them everywhere  we   go, however we associate  them with weakness.

This is a formidable weapon when used correctly. The   Cane  techniques taught by Sensei Peterson, as  received  from  his  instructor, Ed Loomis, are found in the Goju-Shorei Weapons' System.

The  problem with traditional martial art weapons? They  are   illegal  to   make, or even own in some states.  You are not allowed to carry them, even in the  states where ownership is permitted. 

The   question  we  then  ask  is, why train with a weapon  you  plan on using for self-defense if you are not going to have it available when needed?

Hence   comes   the   cane.   After all,  what other weapons  can  be  carried  anywhere  in the world without being confiscated?
