I like how a piece of wood is a weapon that has persevered throughout the history of humanity

If you think of it, most weapons are pieces of wood (or wood alternative) strapped to something else.

Sherlock’s favorite method of self defense

As a Canne de Combat instructor, I was glad to see your video If you want to spare with a lighter and more flexible stick, chestnut offers a nice type of wood to do that

Thanks for the suggestion. We use rattan for its lighter weight considering that we can generate a considerable amount of power with our rotational cuts. Rattan impacts very light and the chance of breaking an opponent is very low. we consider this a low armor training tool as well. it allows our lower ranked students to spar sooner and have fun doing it. that being said we still use rigid joint and hand protection as well as throat protection even though we don't allow thrusts with this weapon. Again though we greatly appreciate the suggestion and the interest. Cheers

The most powerful of weapons, s t i c k

I like singlesick quite a bit myself as saber is one of my favorite weapons.

I love Saber. It is a very entertaining weapon to both watch and spar with. It is a remarkably sneaky weapon. particularly in the hands of someone who knows how to use it. My preferred method is Polish Saber.

Love to see more videos on Single Stick.

That warning about thrusts is important.

Important to note that when the singlestick is used as a training weapon for saber or Broadsword and not for cane fighting, that it is mandatory to use it in a „blade way“ and not as a blunt impact tool. Sometimes we see that trouble when students pick up singlesticks and use it just like a stick, instead of a blade.

Thanks for sharing we miss you guys. I send you a big hug from Mexico

This was great.

Very cool!

Good

So good keep doing this vidios 💪💪💪

I laugh now, looking back at how we used to do this as kids, albeit with lengths of Japanese knotweed instead of a cane. Still hurt like hell when you'd get clocked in the head with a Rhizome 🤣

I was referred here by Mr Holmes, he seems to think this activity is beneficial to sharpen the deductive abilities of the mind

Stick is mother of any weapon!

you have no idea how timely this video is to the Citadels Objectives in fighting events. we will be announcing the IMPACT weapon Symposium. Stick arts from around the globe coming together to fight under one roof. stay tuned, it only gets better!!!!! i preformed a perfect thrust in the 2017 Rose City Classic Against Par Parmar with Nicole officiating the bout. i got zero points because i had no clue there was a no thrust rule in place.....wouldn't ya know it. cause that shit was epic, the best move i had the entire tournament.

Are those from Lowman Leatherworks? Can you tell me if there's any issue with the bottom lip of the Singlestick making contact with the underside of the wrist during a strike? It seems a lot of these only work with a hammer grip.

A lot of these remind me of what we do in Kali-Arnis. Really interesting how we share so much in common in the world of Martial Arts. Mabuhay and God bless from the Philippines po. 🙏👊🇵🇭❤️

Want to study the SingleStick eventually. Do you recommend studying Hokkaido as well?

Awww yea. Single stick.

Arent cane swords a thing though? I think theyre called swordsticks, which were concealed in canes in I think the 19th century

There a thing but were widely reguarded by martial arts, weapons and fencing masters as not being good self defense tools. Good for suprising a victim as an assassination tactic, but, not for fending off attacks.

how old do you have to be? im 16 and very passionate about history, problem is im about 5'5, and 140 pounds.

Hi Ryder. There are a lot of people in HEMA who are small or short and thin that have trained with us. I'd say you're just fine to start. You should come join one of our online classes and give it a go. We have had people much younger then you begin this and do very well

Y’all use a cover? I was hit twice by a standard, then a heavier metal-wrapped-in-rubber stick in the middle finger, making twice. For a different sport though.

Sounds like baseball or something simular.

The start of the video without them introducing themselves threw me off. You gotta warn us!
