A little history of La canne Vigny system: 

By the late 1800s Pierre Vigny created arguably one of the most complete and effective Western stick fighting systems ever devised. During the early to mid 20th century a number of military, police and martial arts establishments utilized the Vigny system for their use. These groups included the Bartitsu school in London, the Kapap and Palmach Special Forces along with the inclusion of the system in a 1940s supplemental manual for the United States H2H combat teams. 

During the early 1920s Superintendent H.G Lang of the Kathiawar Agency Police introduced a training syllabus for his men based on the Vigny method. Over the course of time this syllabus would become the standard method of stick fighting for the Indian Police force.
