Stick Programme
The use of various sticks (albeit in different forms) is part of
each of the syllabuses of jujutsu, pencak silat and women's self
defence.
We also have stick work available as an independent option
without the need to do classes in jujutsu, pencak silat or women's
self defence. The programme covers:
- short sticks;
- walking stick; and
- long stick
The programme is designed to give a self defence capability
using the different length sticks or items that can be substituted
for them.
The programme can be done by anyone. It is particularly
attractive to the more senior members of the community, as it is
not physically demanding. It can be done without having to
fall to the ground and contact (if any) is very modest
indeed. For our more senior members, it offers a self defence
capability without the need to learn any of the empty handed
arts.
The technical inspiration for the programme comes from a martial
arts of Japan and Indonesia. There are no gradings.
As well as being a fun and very socially orientated program, as
with all our programmes, the self defence capability is very much
to the fore.
