Comments:	I am teaching the solo forms of “ La Canne” in the style of mid C19th France for gentle exercise and personal development (in the manner of Larribeau and his contemporaries), an elegant, flowing and practical style that reflects the previous 300 years of development of solo practise forms for long staff, walking stick and “broadsword”. The influence of this style persisted through the Joinville military school until WW2 and teachers such as Roger LaFonde, who died in 2011. I find these exercises beneficial and interesting, and I hope others do too.
