Hey! I live in Canada and use a cane. This feels like a nice little present for me. Usually the videos that get me excited are also ones I cant actually do much with where I am and with what I have, but I can follow this and do it today without any extra gear or space. Thanks!!
By the way I saw a PDF of the book, you are a magician at interpreting a text, I inversely struggle to understand even the easiest manual. Also I prefer cane length sticks, for many reasons, so keep up the wand (good) work. Cheers
Super interesting! What would be cool would be a collection of stick fighting systems by length of the stick / staff and how they change / compare because of that 😁
Using short wooden wand or long metallic one makes little difference. It is the techniques and footwork is key. And mastery of basics is the way to eventual mastery of staff. Kudos to Sir, I eagerly await your next video lecture, and video demonstration.
@@AdoptiveTechnique13 I guess it's a bit more, but it makes not a big different. The important part for me would be to train it all the way because its easier to do it less if needed then the other way around 🙂
I was intrigued by this video and was wondering where you found the textbook or instructional manual? Well, this be available on your website in the future?
Looking at the source, I’m curious as to why you chose the length you did. I may have missed it, but I didn’t see a reference to the length. Is it from general context?
@jeffbutler1614 First at all great you take a look in the source 😃 yes, you are right the lenght is not mentioned and I took it from context. there is no evidence to believe it should not be done with a regular wand. It's a book about physical education on schools and Colleges and would be done with the tools of there gymnastic halls. Otherwise he would have told us. With much longer staffs the techniques would make less sense at the points when they differ from regular quaterstaff (there would also be no reason to call it different). And as I said in the video it was not uncommon to use gymnastic tools for fighting exercises. That's why I choosed a regular wand. Howevet those wands could be 10-20cm longer in some cases.
You can never have enough staff fencing drills! Thanks, great stuff as always!
@@samirish6696 thank's Sam! You are welcome, as always 🙂😉

@@Fred-px5xuif one could handle a 3-4kg iron bar, the different is mostly in the head. It's called fear 😉
So yes, you are right 😃👍👍
Be careful with those fingers my friend 😉 that is a nice change of pace. Cheers
I would not do that with anybody for sure 😉
Oliver: how do you advise m8nimizing mashed fingers with this style?
Training 🙃
Sliding is Sliding is useful, you don't need to move it all the way to generate the same power, and much faster🎉

So, Canadian Escrima?
Yeah, but not as 'complete'.
But if you go even more North it's Escrimo - arctic stick fighting 😉🙃

BASED.
Cue hockey jokes.
