O jogo do pau, arte marcial tradicional de Portugal (e partes da vizinha Galiza), já usada na Idade Média, está na base da famosa Esgrima Lusitana. The game of stick, a traditional martial art from Portugal (and parts of neighboring Galicia), already used in the Middle Ages, is the basis of the famous Lusitana Esgrima.

[@TheRusticWanderer]

Oh wow. Didn't know it dates all the way back to the middle ages. Has the underlying technique changed drastically over the years or has it still retained its original form?

@@TheRusticWanderer As bases / técnicas, continuam iguais na sua essencialidade. Nos seus livros, o nosso Rei D. Duarte I (filho do nosso Rei D. João I e D. Filipa de Lencaster) fazia referência ao jogo do pau, que teria sido utilizado na Batalha de Aljubarrota, em 14 de Agosto de 1385. The bases / techniques remain the same in their essentiality.

That is amazing. Where do you train? I have been wanting to connect with some old school akhadas who train in wrestling in mud (kushti) but have been unable to connect with one. Got any contacts you could share?

Foi levada pelos portugueses para o Brasil. Também em Angola e Moçambique há lugares onde se pratica, por via dessa influência portuguesa. It was taken by the Portuguese to Brazil. Also in Angola and Mozambique there are places where it is practiced, because of this Portuguese influence.

@@arphffxpto Existem diferentes tradições de luta com varas na Africa, em países como Etiópia, Argélia, Egito e Africa do Sul. Heranças dessas tradições são encontradas na América Latina em países como Colombia, Cuba, Venezuela, Martinica e Brasil. Uma teoria inclusive, cita que o jogo do pau português tenha influencia de tradições berberes (como as do palo canário) e até indianas.

@@FazoLinson sem dúvida que sim. Afinal, o pau deve ter sido a arma primordial da humanidade para sua defesa.
