| General Information |
Canne Italiana refers to Italian style cane fencing. Nowadays two different styles are practiced, the academic style and the street style. The first one is practiced with semi- and light-contact attacks, the second uses full-contact attacks.There is a grading system consisting of three nastri (belts): white, red and black (Accademia d’Armi Manusardi, s.d.). |
| History/Development |
Fencing with a cane originated in France, but in the 1990s Maestro Italo Manusardi and his student Lorenzo Ravazzani Manusardi codified what used to be thought only based on oral and practical transmission. They reanalyzed the techniques and called the new system canne Italiana (Accademia d’Armi Manusardi, s.d.). |
