ENglish Stick Fighting by Christophe Clugston

Man people are unaware of the long history of fighting and the war arts in the Occidental World. There is simply too much propaganda about the Oriental schools and their methods. The reality is that European soil saw more duels than Musashi ever dreamed of and there were many people with far more duels than Musashi.

Occidental Arts are based on performance/outcome--this equates to no time for tradition bound up slow to evolve arts and the mind sets behind those arts. There is a reason that the Western World went on to conquer the Modern World and this mind set is prevalent in the fighting arts, too.

One of the weapons that was considered to be very dangerous (and capable of being a swordsman if adroitly handled) was the Quarter staff (well this is the name in English so I will use it right now since I am not writing in German, Spanish or French for the bulk of this Blog).
