Let's explore the history and use of the long staff in martial arts, as well as some of the most well-known styles and practitioners.
History of the Long Staff

THANK YOU SO MUCH for expert training knowledge ! Can you please show how to STRIKE, without loosing the cane. I can't figure it. It looks like you would drop the staff, if you bumped into something with it. I know it's designed to form a space around you, that an attacker won't want to advance thru, but I cant figure the science of it.

Regardless of tool be it staff sword etc when starting realize you will bean yourself a lot.

Same with if you were locked on before but stopped for awhile. Practice practice practice.

Even after 3 years this guy hearts comments, comments on comments, and replies to comments that has replied to the comments that he comments on. what a legend

[@pasquinilli]

Haha. Thanks! The comments from you and others are why I keep doing these videos. I got really burned out teaching younger and younger students who have every opportunity to do anything they want (or their parents want them to do.) I had a lot of great students for sure, but so many who were just casual and going through the motions. Martial arts was never made for kids but it has become a “kid thing.” While it’s good for everyone, martial arts is not for everyone. When I started to post these videos on KZbin, I found students who were in love with martial arts, or really excited about it, like I was and still am! This global, virtual dojo recharges and reinvigorates me with every single comment. Well mostly, anyway. So I am very grateful for your kind words. Keep training!

[@selenewoods3635]

i had issues with my neck...back...focus....i naturally experimented with a broom stick...which ive now added rubber balls to the end of...to limit knocks...and make it easier to flip back up with my foot in case i drop my staff. its helps my breathing when i am anxious...or physically tight.... and is helping me with my left/right coordination. i have learned on my own until now...but these tutorials are helping to explain proper technique. thank you.
