Synopsis

Taken from an 1877 manual for physical conditioning issued by the French Minister of Defense, this manual on stick fighting offers a look at one of the influences which shaped modern La Canne. This military system uses a heavier cane or "baton" which must be held with both hands, thus calling upon a soldier's strength as well as his dexterity.
