Canne advertisement

The advertisement of Canne de Combat is very-very bad, there was no video available for a long time on video sharing pages, like google video, youtube, or daily motion. The ASCA guys (hi there!) did the first steps, then we. Now, there are a couple of CDC related videos on the internet, but it cannot compared to other combat sports or martial arts. And, there is no DVD available in english (it will change in September), and no books (just some old books). The marketing is very bad also, there is a very little communication to other countries that France (no page in english language). The french forums are however very kind, the people help the outsiders a lot, answers the questions, and so. It is a good think, imho.

What can/should be changed?

• Create a multilingual portal with articles
• Support the clubs outside of France
• Create training materials & courses
  
• Translate the Rule Book to english
  

What can We do?

Well, I did the first step, I created a small booklet for beginners. But, there is a need for common talk, more materials (dvd, texts), more advertisement, and so.

There was an idea: let's create a Canne related commercial video. Everyone can participate, if she/he has some time, a video editor software, and creativity. Let's participate. (I am working on a video already)

DVD & Book about CDC

There is a long time since my last post, but I had to work very hard, and trained almost every day canne, so i did not had too much time on blogging. But I'm back now :)

A good news about CDC. The French Federation created a dvd about CDC basics, with the following topics:

1. History, structures of the discipline.
2. Presentation of the weapon and the targets. (the Baton will be treated in another later DVD, we make just a small demonstration onthe end to present it).
3. Use of the surface of combat.
4. Simple techniques offensive and defensive.
5. Offensive and defensive complex techniques.
6. Techniques-tactics
7. Presentation of the French Stick (Baton): another discipline associated to the Cane de Combat.
8. Cool Extracted from attacks in demonstration and competition (one finds there: Jonathan Dudreuil, Florian Adami, Charly Joly and David Cotten).

So, there will be a Canne related DVD, a Baton related DVD, a dvd with championships, and a book, too. (Got these informations from my private spy :) )

The price will be a bit high, 35 euros, as far as I know.
