The Houston Stickfighting Association will be at it again for the 1st of
quarterly scheduled combative events featuring martial artists of all
"stick-based" fighting styles and NOT LIMITED TO, the Filipino MA systems, but
also open to Japanese, Okinawan, Chinese, Thai also including European-style
MAists.
Matches are fought with various sorts of martial art weaponry from the Filipino
rattan sticks, wooden/rubber training dagger duels, wooden sword and dagger,
staff, wooden longswords in series of "friendly exchanges" betwen players in a 2
minute round. This is a FULL-CONTACT event featuring members of this
organization going at it where there are no judges, no trophies, no winners, or
losers. This is not a tournament. Just a group of guys open-minded enough to
cross skills with other martial arts weapons from the Oriental martial arts to
the Western/European(Medival/Rennaisance era) weapons systems.
The event will begin at 9 am in the morning at Oyster Creek Park off of highway
6 South between Dulles Ave and Settlers Way. Matches go on until the afternoon
and there will also be a BBQ cookout to add to the occasion.
