shaheediyan Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Whilst researching the Spanish roots of modern day Eskrima (which the Filipinos will deny until they are blue in the face) I came across this. Jogo do pau, also refered to as 'Esgrima', is an ancient stick fighting art. Laadlu fauj commentented on how similar the Irish art was to gatka, well, this is a lot more similar... These 2 are great!! I will post some other unique traditional stick fighting forms in a mo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaheediyan Posted June 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Baston=stick, so this is more short stick based than the above art. This def bears more resemblence to both sport escrima and gatka. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
