The Baton francais, French for "French staff", also known as French stick fighting, is a European historical fencing discipline which uses a staff about 1.2 m long (4 ft)
The techniques have much in common with longsword and quarterstaff.
The Baton was systematized in France during the 19th century and is still part of a set of skills associated with the modern French martial art of boxe francaise (savate)
