There is a Basque art similar to [the French fighting style]
Savate
called Zipota (shoe) which also
survives
and contains some stick-fencing. It is a very rough sport, involving a lot of
leaping kicks and throws even in competition. The use of the Basque walking
stick, a light five foot shepherd's staff, is taught in an aligned discipline
called Malika. Several practitioners have competed very successfully in
Savate-Boxe Francaise and la canne de combat.
