Canne de combat

Also known as

French cane fighting · French staff fencing

Description

French cane and staff fencing. Practised from medieval times, it was codified by nineteenth-century masters such as Louis Leboucher and Joseph Charlemont and taught in savate clubs. It declined after the First World War; Roger Lafond revived it after the Second, and Maurice Sarry wrote competition rules. A committee within the savate federation runs it.
