Cane Aikido™ offers a clear and structured path for developing balance, movement, and practical self-protection using the walking cane...or any tool for that matter including your empty hands.
Training begins with Cane Aikido Essentials, the Level 1 Foundations course that introduces the core principles of the system. Cane Aikido™ is an expression of Sobrevivencia, the art founded by Maestro Eduardo Ruiz in the trenches under political oppression and all kinds of harships on the island of Cuba. When you train Cane Aikido™, you're training Sobrevivencia.
When you enroll in Cane Aikido™ Essentials, you now receive access to two complete courses:

WCAA Green Band Requirements curriculum from the World Cane Aikido™ Association
Your first month of live weekly Continuum training with Joe Robaina — no waiting, no additional purchase required.
The Recorded Curriculum
All courses are delivered step by step on a dedicated online platform through structured recorded video lessons — allowing you to learn and practice entirely at your own pace. Watch each skill as many times as you like. There is no expiration date and you have lifetime access to everything.
Each course includes a dedicated manual, written student notes supporting the video lessons, and life application notes connecting Cane Aikido™ principles to everyday situations.
Students may post skills they’re working on for feedback and participate in ongoing community discussions and interaction.
Each lesson develops the key elements of the art:
Posture and balance
Cane handling and movement pathways
Cane Aikido™ specific principles — cane and empty hand
Circular motion and blending principles
Calm control and practical application
Because the cane itself becomes a training partner through the Cane Aiki Ally™ method, many of these principles can be practiced entirely without a training partner.
