I know I'm in a stick fighting group, but I'm going to have to disagree If sticks were more effective than swords sticks would have been used in battle fields...
The question was not , which is more efficient , but are the skills interchangeable.? I say NO. I have to mention here that the famed Musashi chose a wooden...
The striking surface is a good point . I also feel that more power is needed for an non -bladed weapon. Take the stab for instance . This is a technique that...
Yes, that's exactly what I meant. In the hands of an expert, any weapon can be effective. However given someone with limited training, I'm defiantly going to...
I like pvc pipe with a steel reinforcing rod in it, great weight for building up the muscles but do be careful you don;t hyper extend them. After a minute or...
I agree the dynamics are different and all things being equal re skill, I would rather face a stick fighter than a swords man. I also agree if sticks were...

A lot of FMA dudes teach that everything they do with a stick you can do with a blade. Hmm. Never accepted that myself as I have drawn several sticks across...
I won;t comment on opinions and politics and so on but I would agree with JP and the general sentiment here. I think there were more grips than just the 1/3....
