We will be shooting the fight in two weeks and editing it down to show on the net the following week. we will be posting the link to the fight video on our ...
It has some good points, but, gets abit on the "stylistic" side for me. Things like the 2 in thick 10 foot long "fence post" as a weapon (ummmmm!?!) it is more...
Sorry James This group is for 'NON' traditional stick fighting. Juust kidding , Thanks for the link. I think I will get this book. I have had some good...
I had the same opinion as you Dirk as far as the Japanese stick styles, until I actually took the time and learned one and tried it out in the ring. I was ...
John, I actually meant some of the more esoteric stuff (life the chinese Dragon pole, which looks alot like the "giant fence post" that Hatsumi shows) and some...
... It is always in the basics isn't it. I found the same with Bojutsu simple yet it's grace masked it's ruthless efficiency. We talked about Araki Ryu some...
Well as many of you know I studied Zipota ( a basque savate varient or maybe the other way around depends on who you talk to) b/4 my accident...To quote Toby...
This past year I have had the opportunity to fight with a few escrima types myself. I find it very hard to say what i feel about my experience so far with said...

I have been analyzing some footage from a couple of styles, le canne, and Jogo do Pau. What I first took as flash, seems upon reflection to be a specific...
Ok, I know this is a bit off topic, but I figured you guys would be the best to ask for help in my homework assignment. I need to do a report on a MA of...
Ok, in response to the question below, no I don't call that stick fighting. It would be much the same as one using their fencing background to get inside and...
... To me, a fight is a fight, is a fight. If I have a stick, knife or longsword the approach is the same. Of course drilling or restircted sparring is great...

I don't believe for one second that anyone in this group routinely goes out in the neighborhood to participate in violence. Lets at least be honest , if not...

As stated, I am in complete agreement w/ John and Ken...Which I find horribly distressing...not that we agree...that is not uncommon at all, but that we agree...
