So cadence braking is "pumping" the brake where you lock and unlock, whereas
threshold is where you constantly apply the max pressure without locking to
get the most out of the brakes, right? The technique I learned was
threshold braking, where you hit the brakes hard, when you feel the wheel
starting to lock, release the slightest amount of pressure to prevent
locking, then gradually apply more pressure to brake as you slow down,
always staying on the verge of locking. As I said earlier, a properly
performed threshold brake will outperform ABS because there is no release in
brake pressure. I still use threshold braking on my car. ABS just prevents
locking if I accidentally apply too much pressure. It's a safeguard, but I
don't depend in it.

P.S. My apologies to the poster I responsed to earlier. My response was
snotty. I'd just gotten off work and was in a rotten mood.
