M. Larribeau was a leading La Canne instructor in the mid 19th century. This manual published in 1856 lays out a system for learning La Canne on one's own with the aid of a target pad. Grab your sturdiest hardwood cane and find a target, then follow along with Monsieur Larribeau as he lays out his personal formula for braining, whacking, and crippling would-be assailants with this common walking-aid and fashion accessory.
