Alfred Hutton named this exercise which is a combination of the upwards figure eight and the downwards figure eight movement.
Its a striking pattern for self defense at night in the street. other #martialarts which train sticks like Aris, Eskrima or Kali used similar pattern but did not combine them on a regular exercise. This method taught in #hema and #historicalfencing introduced in the sabre part of Cold Steel did it.
So if you want to start cane fighting, cane flow, cane twirling or similar start with patterns like this to make you comfortable with the stick.
