thank you;also to my mind came the pentjak / pencak fighting like seen in this vid on 48 secs

but then again, one can't compare the specific pencak defence with traditional fencing as the pencak techniques do involve other manual close combat techniques which one migh presume is / was not part of defence and fighting in this yataghan region
