Re: Jogo do Pau Practice
That is like the stuff you are or will be doing in the program, hope you like it!
this were with random elements, and we used padded weapons to go faster safely(i actually got hit in the hands a few times and discretely omited it from the videos:p).
these staffs work very nice, they dont bounce much and we are able to do blocks much better than with the actionflex ones we used, and require not alot of extra body padding(but do need a helmet for full sparing and some body padding).
Personally can't wait to see you guys doing some videos of staff fencing once you go through the material, that will be very interesting and exciting.
I will try to make more videos like this, between the videos for the program.

Yep, I like it a lot! I am sure we will be filming some clips soon as well.
I was wondering about the staffs... Do you make them yourselves or can they be bought?

Re: Jogo do Pau Practice
That would be great;)
These staffs were made by master Nuno Russo.
we don't have suppliers here, and shipping stuff at expensive rates just to try out and see them breaking with a few hits.. not very moralizing..

Re: Jogo do Pau Practice
Could you perhaps give us a hint as to how they are made and what materials are used? Perhaps we could make something similar ourselves...

Re: Jogo do Pau Practice
i didn't see the construction but the inside is a tube, foam on the hitting part with a fabric bag made to fit, and tape. as for the material qualities you would have to try stuff out.
But for now it is more important to practice with wood, that will consolidate the technique much better, and we always do the bulk of the training with wood.
