Grandmaster Mark Shuey Sr. The American Cane System is a martial arts style founded by Grandmaster Mark R. Shuey, Sr. Grandmaster Shuey holds an 8th Dan in Hapkido, a 7th Dan in Tang Soo Do, and numerous other distinctions. This American style has been internationally recognized and demonstrated, including articles in the Wall Street Journal, features on CNN, the CBS Early Show, Fox News, and several major martial arts magazines. This style utilizes the versatility of the walking cane (both with a crook and without) for self-defense and physical fitness. As a defensive art, it includes traditional katas, blocks, strikes, self-defense, kicks, and empty-hand skills in conjunction with the cane. It prioritizes awareness and self-confidence, and it possesses a strong foundational heritage in traditional martial arts styles.
