New Jogo do Pau Study groups
Posted: Tue Jan 05, 2010 9:38 pm
Good Day everyone,
I want to announce the Jogo do Pau International Study Groups Program I'm developing with Luis Preto to help promote the practice of jogo do pau around the world.
This program was thought specially for international western martial arts groups that show interest in this art, and to provide, possibly the only way to learn Jogo do Pau with a qualified instructor outside of Portugal.
This program will work in the following way:
There will be a JdP instructor that will regularly provide exercises for the group to work with, in form of text, images, and video, to help them understand what is necessary. From that on, the group will have a very close following of it's development by the instructor, answering questions and most important, from time to time the group will be required to record videos of exercises executed the best they can for instructor's review. This level of interaction will help maintain the quality of the technical development of the group.
How will this work?
The group will be leaded by a Group Coordinator, that will be responsible for the development of the other members and for the communication with the instructor, this leader will have a very important role in the process.
This role is specially oriented to someone that has experience with martial arts and teaching, so he can organize and teach a group the information provided by the instructor, and manage that entire interaction.
The instructor and director of the program is Luis Preto, some of you must him, a respected jogo do pau instructor, with a degree in Sport Sciences and author of the book "Jogo do Pau: The Ancient Art and Modern Science of Portuguese Stick Fighting", so you know you are in good hands and learning Jogo do Pau from a valuable source.
You can know more about Luis Preto here: http://www.jogodopauportugues.com/progr ... uctor.html
This program requires a membership fee, that will be 30euros/month per group, no matter if you have 3, 10 or more members, so you can divide that amount as you like.
We will have a website that will have the groups under our program listed, so any individual that wants to join a official group will know where they are.
But keep in mind that this program is only directed at dedicated groups, that will have a place to practice and regular classes. The number of classes you can have is flexible but we are aiming at a quality work and to provide the best development possible with the distance difficulties this provides.
The fee is not to be listed on the website or to be part of the group only as a formality, but to have access to exercises and materials, and most importantly, direct, tight and regular communication with a high qualified instructor that will provide you the best learning tools and full accompaniment of the group's development.
Being part of this study groups don't require any kind of group or membership exclusivity, on the other side, it is aimed to work with existing groups and be a valuable addition to their current work.
You can find more detailed information on our website here:

We just started and I have been talking with Roger, he says he needs more people to be able to support the costs, I hope we can find enough interested people to make this work with the GHFS.
If you are from GHFS please contact Roger Norling, if not, but are interested in starting a group under this program, send us an email at: [email protected]
Feel free to ask any questions.
Cheers.
