la canne
with la canne we did some simple basic drills that are founded in Rapier fencing but relevant to savate - after all savate is as much "kick fencing" as it is "kick boxing"
we didn't do the krabi drill tonight but I referred to it and showed how the heavy machete like short swords are used to lop off a limb or cut a neck in combat
like a baseball bat weighted at the tip
and a thai round kick is like a baseball bat when it lands
we do regular largo mano drills with the long kali stick
and members are familiar with kenjutsu 2 handed sword
so with a serrada stick representing the long single handed rapier sword we did some drills
and just as krabi moulds the structure of muay thai and thai boxing
so does la canne fencing mould the structure of savate boxe francais kickboxing
