What is Cyrano?

Cyrano is a program for notation of choreography for fencers.

Weapons, motions and actions of two fencers/fighters can be written down in a clear tablelike way with new developed symbols. They can be easily learned due to the clear sytematics. The motion of both hands (armed or unarmed) as well as motion in space are shown simultaneously. Even with actions corps a corps that have been complicated to write down so far Cyrano will help you. Special symbols for hits, kicks and throws allow using of Cyrano for 'unusual' fights that are not settled with classical fencing arms. Boxing matches, brawls and scuffles with different objects and even knifings can be written down in an easy way.
