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.
