Did Vigny refer to his stickfighting system as La Canne (Vigny)? Or is it a later way of addressing the system? Which is the first evidence for the usage of...
Hi Stefan, that's a very interesting question. I'm certain that the term "la canne Vigny" doesn't appear in any of the c1900 English language sources, and I...
So to hit the back of your right hand, your sparring partner was striking with a high cut 4 (in modern fencing terminology) - a right-to-left cut, from his...

My earlier remark was incorrect, memory's a bit dim. It was Zsolt who advised me back in December "instead of canne de combat i would write la canne, because...
