 A modified version of quarterstaff fencing, employing bamboo or ash staves and protective equipment adapted from fencing, boxing, and cricket was revived as a sport in some London fencing schools and at the Aldershot Military Training School during the later 19th century.Works on this style were published by Thomas McCarthy and by Allanson-Winn and Phillips-Wolley.An informal tradition (or sporadic series of revivals) based on the late-19th century style persisted in England throughout the early-mid 20th century, being particularly associated with military and fencing exhibitions and with the Boy Scout movement.
