The “wrong” way to do a snake disarm, as illustrated in the first part of this video,
is a common mistake. This kind of disarm tends to pit muscle against muscle.

## **Why work so hard?**

The better way to disarm, as shown in the video, is to:

(1) Tilt your cane to the right; and

(2) step toward your partner and inject your cane toward his centre line.

**Boom! The cane pops out!**

This happens because the partner’s hand is turned upside down, and retaining the
cane becomes quite difficult.
