Thanks again! Glad to see the old traditions back on the street. There was some footage from central africa regarding initiation ceremonies with much longer sticks!
In Brazil (in a community descended fr0m an old settlement of runaway slaves), there is the jogo do pau, which inherits the name of Portuguese art (and some influences), but in general it is more like this Kalinda. They must have common roots. In the past it was linked to capoeira, but today it is almost forgotten. you can check it out in the videos: Jogo do pau entre Manuel Seabra e Jorge Fernandes Versos e Cacetes. O jogo do pau na cultura afro-fluminense
I was just in Trinidad for Carnival. Was hoping to see sone stickbfighting but didn't. What wood do they use in T&T? I know guava is used in Barbados...
Block counter block. Thats it? So not really trying to hit each other. Unlike some African stickfighiting vids going full blast! No real footwork either. Incorporate some Capoiera footwork in there to go along witht he music then it would look more interesting.
