01 Fencing at the Theresian Academy with the baton or French Quaterstaff
Спорт
In France the staff was taught on military academies for martial purpose and physical education. Other countries in Europe has done it too. In Germany and Austria (aka the Autro Hungarian empire) applied the French method of fighting with the staff but put on a little bit of their own. In Italy the Bastone a due mani was also taugth at military schools for the same reason.
This method is introduced in the 19th century by Major Josef Feldmann at the KuK military school in Wiener Neustadt, Vienna.
Nowadays the old school use of the baton gets an revival in Historical fencing and HEMA. We used old instructional manuals and books to follow the instructions to bring life to those movements again.
The instructional book Feldmann wrote and the knowledge is taken from is:
"Leitfaden zum Unterrichte im Stock-, Rapier-, Säbel- und Bajonnett- Fechten."

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 want to join us, Mispeldorn is located in Aachen Germany
We are one of the finest clubs for smallsword and sabre if you look for a different kind of weapon in HEMA. Maybe you are interested to join our study group for cane, staff and Savate or just come for a visit!

Additional benefit to staff training -- same footwork as early boxe francais, meaning that if you get clear with one, you'll be clear with the other!

Are there symilarities with Jogo Do Pau? I heard that one is heavily influenced by fencing too.

@@junichiroyamashita I would say that there are no heavy similarities in the 'signuture' movements. Feldmann is more related to French and Italian Staff. But in the basic level its trueall is European staff and one will find similarities, ofcourse also with its roots to fencing as it is fighting with weapons all over the continent.
Interesting! With the two hands together, I imagine the play is based on fast, continuous swings, and less of solid parries.

Yes, their are fast and continuous swings, but there are also solid parries. It is a quite nice mix. Something we missed a bit if we just parry by moulinettes in Christmanns baton. If one parries hands together in opposition, the strong is not that long so you have to be a bit more precise, but it works.
Absolutely brilliant.

perfekt. Auf diese Weise habe ich die Stange noch nicht verwendet (ein schmaler Griff mit beiden Händen). Ich werde es mit einem Trainingsinstrument ausprobieren - Cold Steel Training staff.

Der CS staff hat ein ordentliches Gewicht. Das wird gutes Training 😎 Diese Art des Griffes ist üblich für die meisten Französischen Stabmethoden oder deren darauf basierenden Methoden. Man arbeitet viel mit Moulinettes, die mit der Griffweise deutlich runder und dadurch schneller werden.
My friend, I'm going to try it 😀 albeit with a much shorter staff 😣 I hope it will be equally nice 👍 I'll be waiting for the other 9 lessons. Cheers

Dont worry, all the staff lessons should even be working with a one handed stick 😉👍
