it doesnt matter if we scream on each other in nazi style ...la savate will be the same and other fighting styles also.
The fact is when I teached police and army that when we start real stick fighting and went out of Kali "standing on the place" coreography nothing was effective.
For my opinion there can be mice brother or dog or satan lovers....it doesnt matter.
Effective techniques and tactics are the one that counts. Canne de Combat is style full of tactics. It derives from fencing - spanish , italian, german and french school. This was science.
And Kali was tribal thing. For primitive and at that time muslim people on Philipines who were after war exposed to genocide.
French boxing is the same - it comes out from early soldiers fighting systems - derives from Grecce and Roman empire, later from european war machinery which was active from middle ages to second world war.
We have to think about our own knowledge which is much more older and respectfull than asiatic POST WW2 export of ju-jitsu, karate, ....
We can even say that this asiatic MARTIAL ART products are the same as war zones that USA had in Asia.
Taekwondo - Korea. Karate, Judo, Ju-jitsu, Kendo, Sumo, Aikido - with 2 nukes bombed Japan, Kali - Philipes - USA military zone, Muay Thai - Vietnamese sourounding of Laos , Burma and Thailand, ....and we can count more and more
