I have found adjustable mace exercises especially useful for shoulder, forearm & rotator cuff strength which directly aids swinging your cane. It also greatly involves your core (abs, obliques, lower back) as a bonus. One handed & heavier two handed mace exercises. Google or youtube it. Gear required/suggested: $150 - Kensui Barbarian Mace Bundle $25 - RitFit Aluminum Olympic Clamps Four 1 lb olympic plates Four 2.5 lb olympic plates Four 5 lb olympic plates Kensui website for barbarian bundle. Amazon sells the rest. The RitFit clamp is needed because the provided kensui clamps are not good.
Why?
Why learn Irish Stick Fighting? There might be more positive reasons than you think... - something unique with a practical tool that is multi-purpose - Training tool is easily (and of course legally) transportable. - Can be elevated to combat sparring with a partner wearing protective gear to show where weaknesses and failures in training appear. - Not a ton of space required although nothing beats being out in nature with a training stick. - Solo work - mobility benefits. Tells you about how your body wants to and doesn't want to move :) - Low to high energy exercise. - As a last resort - possible self defence using a force multiplier. - Like most martial arts, gets your brain going on what you can do and how to put things together. - Stick can cost nothing if harvested or improvised...up to a classic heirloom Shillelagh (Blackthorn or Oak).

Temu sells polypropreliene ball knob canes for about $20. I can strike pavement & it only scuffs the surface. Nearly indestructable. Striking hard surfaces though transfers the shock into your hand. A good training tool for cheap. My everyday carry is an oak ball cane.
