This Spanish #stickfighting is brought to us by three fencing masters from the 19th cent:
Don Antonio Heraud y Clavijo de Soria, Don Antonio Álvarez García & Liborio Vendrell y Eduart
The style should be very well known in Spain at that time and is more or less the same in the different books.
#hema taught old #martialarts as this fighting system as this one where a walking stick is grabbed in the center to use it for self defense in the street. You can stab or thrust with a cane or stick and it is very effective. this video will demonstrate it to you using the spanish offensiv guard (guardia espaniola ofensiva / curva en el centro) & kind of a radoppio (ganar el centro / los pies al centro)
