Hapkido: A cousin of Kendo!

Wow, I'm really learning something new every day!

Combat cane:
An old martial art, which uses long sticks to disable an opponent is being revived in France. The discipline was developed as a form of self-defence in the late 19th century in Paris to help its citizens protect themselves from the criminal elements in the city.

The sport of Combat Cane fighting is similar to the Japanese art form of Kendo or its Korean cousin Hapkido.
