Nobody has any stick training huh?

Brownie,

Not everyone's retired and had the time to sit on the computer.

You already know some of us that do, but there are some new folks that have come in while you were away that have as well.

Ye, I knew YOU did.

Retired? It don't feel like it

I had a friend who was, and i found it so fascinating! We would find yucca plant sticks and cut them to length and he began showing me a little. He moved on though, and I never stuck with it. The focusing part was astounding once I figured out what he was talking about. I used to walk through the pasture hunting bugs on the flower tops.

Wish I would have stuck with it and found proper training.

I've been interested in a few of the martial arts such as muay tai, capoeira, and krav maga. SWMBO and I have talked about it some time back, and intend on putting our daughter through something when she gets a bit older.

I did a bit of hanbō training when I was still studying aikido. It translates well to walking sticks. One of my trainers was a high level dan, a small elderly woman from Baltimore City. Never underestimate old ladies! She could throw me to the ground before I would realized what happened.

The stick is my goto since I live in MD where there are no CHPs.

Yes. But I've trained more with bo than other stick sizes and lengths.
