@TheDecaXD I like skylorenz videos a little better :) If you want to see what I do look at the videos on my own channel. Quite different and totally without planning or plan.

@kage110 you are right about the fact CdC is a Sport. Give a look at this (skylorenz channel)

it's italian canne. It's more effective. (i practice it).

In canne you kick only few times, for example when you have just parried an attack :P

[kage110]

@TheDecaXD That makes more sense and is indeed correct, though I would still say kicking against someone with a weapon is a very risk strategy. No, I do not practice Canne de Combat but I have practised Japanese and Russian sword & stick fighting methods, as well as free-form systems (ie. ones that do not have an ideological background), for many years. I have not practised combat-based SPORT for a long time, CdC looks like sport to me though I know its origins are more practical.

@kage110 ok, i've express myself badly. if you hit the leg you leave your head without defense against other stick. Is better now?

Kage, do you practise canne de combat?

[kage110]

@TheDecaXD Rubbish. Striking the kicking leg with the stick would disable the person's leg very rapidly. Kicking against someone with a weapon, except in very special circumstances, is asking for your leg to be damaged and you to lose the fight to survive.

[TheDecaXD]

@MrOttmandus because the power of a kick is much more than the resistance of the stick/arm. so it's more effective dodging and after hits.

[MrOttmandus]

why dont they block the kicks with the stick?

Almost every culture has some form of stick fighting, be nice to see it as an Olympic event.
