Cudgeling Bouts

The Cateran Society follows the Broadsword master´s idea of adopting the swordsmanship principles on a Walking Stick or simple Cudgel for defense. The Highlanders used Cudgels to train the Broadsword, but also to defend themselfs and in battles sometimes in case of an emergency. We add material from various historical cane selfdefense and traditional stickfighting styles. In addition the close-quarter techniques and wrestling of Broadsword, Dirk and Highland Wrestling come into play. Cudgeling is part of our MacGregor Method.
