Let's get them to a gathering!  That would be an interesting dynamic to witness.

Gent's

There are a couple of European stick type art's mostly based as practice for some sort of sword play, most European martial art's have not survived as such most have become boxing, wrestling, sport fencing and such which have a very limited value as martial art's.


Which is a shame.

Here is a little document on singlestick and broadsword practice written in 1790 might be of interest.
