Brett vs James LaFond: Stick and Shield

As a young freestyle stickfighter, Brett has a lot going against him. He's small, fighting grown men often two or three times his size. Since there are so few who actually do freestyle stickfighting, kali, escrima, or Modern Agonistics, Brett simply has no choice but to fight competitively against behemoths.

Not all is against him, however. Brett is fast, strong for his size, and ruthless against those who are arrogant or make silly mistakes.

Stick and shield fighting is double the pressure, double the expenditure of energy. The shield hand must be kept up at all times, and can often prove a substantial obstacle to fight around. Boxers tend to have an easier time holding the shield up, however, as the yare used to this stance in their sport.

James: Sleeveless yellow shirt and blue jeans.
Brett: Hockey gear.
