The CAVEMAN: Fighting Stick - Uncivilized Self Protection

[@12henry1234]

Very useful. A walking stick length is the most practical to focus on as it can always be available to you. The full length Bo is interesting but impractical.

Hi Dr Morey

In the heat and frenzy of a real confrontation, basic movements work best. Only real experienced martial artists can perform the more elaborate drills in real combat successfully.

There is a dying martial art in Portugal called jogo de pao( stick fighting). It's very interesting. Fighting with a stick is basic,affective, and can be found and used anywhere 😎👍

I think that adding a wrist flick would deal a lot of damage and add more speed. Though it probably has less power than what you showed, getting hit by a stick is like getting hit with a stick, it hurts.

[@uncivilizedvitality]

True on all fronts. More speed, less power,

Hit the hand. Poke the eye. Self-defense should be uncivilized. Too many videos are about decorative techniques. Too many moves for most people to master. Learning "martial arts" may predispose people to fighting when they should be running. I practice what amounts to a power punch palm strike using an exercise band. I've also done a Chi Gong routine for 20 years that has given me reflexes that are faster than normal.

Muscle memory through practice is key to response. Good on you

[@johnmcintosh5884]

Done!!

What if we ran away instead of fighting?

[@uncivilizedvitality]

Then you would be a wise man.

Basic escrimia by another name

Each culture has it's own name for stick fighting.
