Description
French self-defence teacher who brought the canne back after the Second World
War. His "combat medley" took techniques from fencing, karate, savate
and canne, with short cane strikes started from the wrist and forearm; Maurice
Sarry later published these methods.

“For instance, Roger Lafond (1913–) created a self-defense method called “combat
medley” in which defense techniques were borrowed from fencing, karate, savate,
and canne fencing.”
