- An introduction to Canne de Combat and Cane Chausson delivered by instructors Julie Gabriel and Morgan Alexander from Cambridge Academy of Martial Arts®
Cambridge Academy is one of the only groups in the UK who offer this kind of training on a regular basis, and who organise trips abroad to train and compete.
I see it's been quite some time since anyone posted a comment here. Even more interesting is the fact that it's still the best video on basic Canne de Combat on CZcams. Ms. Gabriel and Ms. Alexander are excellent instructors. Great video :-)
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!
I realize this is a 7 year old comment, but I have to disagree with your assessment of "modern MMA." Even 7 years ago there was a great deal of skilled fighters and to say that anything "devolves" into MMA is an insult to those athletes... Also can you imagine any other sport where they would take a point away because you didn't hit the ball/puck/whatever... "correctly?" If it works, it works.
Great ... Very estetic and effective techniques. Real female warriors. These Ladys stances are very strong. Easy to see hard work behind.

A canne video was making the rounds in the filipino martial arts community because someone lamented 'why don't we fight like this'. Unfortunately, a lot of people were overlooking simple things, like weapon weight and how we score, not realizing there isn't much of a comparison beyond the common use of a wooden weapon. That being said, this was a great video! I've always had a passing interest with the cane, even before I started on arnis, makes me wish there were schools locally. (in the Philippines) Again, great video, all the best to your group!
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!
Well said
Merveilleux, étant pratiquant de SBF-SBD (SBD= Arnis, Tonfa) , et j'ai pratiqué la canne à plusieurs occasions, cette année je me suis décidé à la pratique plus approfondie.
Every combat systems has to be similar to others. Stuff that works just works, and will be used, no matter how you call it. Bio-mechanics and physic stay the same for every martial art. More interesting are often the dissimilarities that show different approaches to combat from different traditions.
The canes are slightly tapered Sweet Chestnut, 95cms in length. Competition canes are the thinnest and lightest, and are marked with a black band. Training canes are a little heavier, and carry a red mark. There is also a heavier cane still, which carries a green band, which is used to inscribe on and give out to people as memento's or awards at competitions.
Very nice introduction to Canne de Combat!
Great ! Very good video ! Congratulations !!!
Awesome 😎👍
@parahumanoid I replied as I did because you had used the disparaging word 'bleak' in your post. I too practise Arnis, so am familiar with both forms of stick fighting. They are quite different however. As you rightly say, La Canne, is simply an alternative form of Fencing, except wooden Canes are used instead of an Epee, Foil or Sabre. The point is not used in La Canne - nor in the Sport version of Eskrima either, as you must know. Like Fencing, however, there are rules on how you must compete.
@lerschwin Thank you for your positive comment my friend. We are doing our best to promote this little-known sport [in the UK at least] of fencing with a cane - rather than the foil or epee.
I think it's amazing that some of these techniques are so similar to techniques used in Karate.
During the Meiji period french military advisors and veterans of the franco-prussian war by Japan. Mostly the pro-samurai faction.
They tought savate to japanese karateka, thats why Okinawan karate doesnt have high kicks wereas mainland karate does.
But you could also use that same argument with regards to Boxing unless, of course, you film everything, play it back in slow motion, and decide who the winner was one hour after it's over! At least the way the hits are delivered, and the scoring is done in La Canne, the points are more obvious to see than they are in an Eskrima bout.
@Dimitri0809 Yes, you could do that with the Epee and the Foil too! That way you'd be sure to know who is the winner!
@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.
Очень интересно здорово!
continuer comme ca!
Fantastic video thankyou.i have been studying eskrima and would love to learn some of this to add in ..any one know of some classes in sheffield ...good upload.thanks again :)
Canne certainly looks much more practical than Bartitsu.
very good
@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/
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.
@pugilistica
OK, I'm not quite sure what "get over over" means, but my comparisson to Arnis is pretty natural, because stick fighting is stick fighting. And if you took any time to read my message, you should have noticed the question "am I missing something?", which begged the answer: "this is a sport, while Arnis is a martial art". It was obvious I was unfamiliar with this. Instead you post this poinless word-set of an answer that neither makes a valid point, nor explains anything to anyone.
@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.
@jffrats Thank you for your very kind comments.
Does anyone know the exact measurements for a canne?
95 cm
@parahumanoid 'Bleak'? Why are you comparing it to Arnis? Let's compare Squash with Tennis too shall we? Or Judo with Karate, perhaps. It's different, get over it!
Stick fencing
Copied from Indian stick fighting arts.There is no record of canne in India
@jffrats
What is this stuff? Looks pretty bleak compared to arnis. Am I missing something?
No, the play is very bad
Tadj Ben : Maybe by your standards, but at least we are trying to promote the art. Are you? If so, please post your video for us to comment on!
