This is hands down the best intro to cane fighting that I have found so far! Though I had no idea there were tournaments and ways to score points, what I like about the system is that you MUST execute the move correctly otherwise no point. This prevents a match or even the system for that matter from degrading into modern MMA bouts (only now with a stick) and maintains the historical discipline of the system. Well done!

@jffrats Thank you for your very kind comments.

Nice. Any ideas how much classes can run, pricewise? I was originally looking at taking up Bartitsu, but can't seem to find anywhere I really like for it.

@Aisoku69 Depends on how often you want to train. If you are local to us in here in Cambridge you can train once a week for the equivalent of £6 per session. As Monday night sessions are one-and-a-half hours long, that works out at £4 an hour.

I get it now, moves have to be identifiable to actually score, that's how it can be so dynamic in a continuous format. If you crowd your opponent there will be no scoring so muscling in to close range is a useless prospect. That is actually a brilliant way of encouraging such aggressive footwork. I think I might apply that to an excercise at karate.

Thank you!

Canne certainly looks much more practical than Bartitsu.

@Sareth14 I'm not sure if James Southwood (who runs classes in the sister art of Savate in London) has added regular training sessions in Canne de Combat yet or not, but he is worth looking up. Even if he isn't, it may prompt him to start doing so once he realises that there is an interest. Hi website is: londonsavate.co.uk/

@Sareth14 If you are based in Cambridge UK, then it'll cost you £24 per month, which I already answered the same question to Alsoku.
