Jogo do Pau

Here is a cool native Portugesse stick fighting link for you all who are interested. Man it would be cool to learn from somebody that weathered.

Cool. Thanks for that. Too bad there's not more info there though

A person could always e-mail the gentleman if interested. He sounds like he is up for talking about his native artform.

The pics were really cool though. Looks like a nice system of long stick combatives. I wonder if they have a shorter stick aspect to their system.

Back in the day the boyscouts even had a quarterstaff victorian era style fighting system and merit badge.
