Col. Monstery cane fighting - basic striking - for self defense

Описание: Col. Monstery brought us a simple to learn system of stick fighting, based on his knowledge from fencing with the sabre or espadon and other weapons.
In this video we will have a look at a fencing diagram for striking exercises.
The core is based on fast strikes to the face and hand of the opponent to end the fight quickly, which should be the goal of a good self defence in the street.

We train at Mispeldorn in Aachen Germany HEMA or historical fencing according to F.C. Christmann. His style with the sabre is also based on the same striking mechanics so we feel very comfortable to show you Monstery method. Also we train bastone Italiano - traditional Italian stick fighting from Genova, which bridges the gap to the cane completely.

If you are interested in Monsterys method, I took my knowledge from this book edited by Ben Miller:
