Stafffighters Gathering

We are staff fighters, martial artists and friends. Our aim is to introduce the historical portuguese martial art of Jogo do Pau. 
Browse our films and you will get a good idea of what we practice, study and teach, both with the traditional Long staff or the short baton and double baton.

We might compare some aspect of our technique to other techniques such as quarter staff, bo staff, batons, sticks and canes, and even some Long or Broad Sword from Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA), with the sole purpose of relating to what you already know and believe.

We will try to give you a broad perspective of our technique showing you from training exercises, to sparing and competition.
We believe our technique is the most effective and developed blunt weapons technique out there, based on the experience in real fighting from our recent history, we are happy to explain it and show you why. Feel free to dispute, comment with your ideas or question.
