Stick Sparring-Fighting
 |
This is the night we cut our teeth in the arena of public stick fighting "February 26th, 2000".
We had been full contact padded stick fighting for a few years at this point, but only in private. We were teaching at a boxing gym and had been asked to do an exhibition stick fight during the intermission at a USA boxing event. The "exhibition" aspect of the situation went out the window as soon as the bell sounded.
The sticks are 3/4 inch rattan wrapped in pipe insulation and duct tape .
This first shot is of some of us before the fights began.

Post fight
As Guro Marc "Crafty Dog" Denny best says, "Be friends at the end of the day."
The sticks that we are currently using for light-- moderate sparring are action flex sticks, we purchased them off the Dog Brothers web site. We highly recomend them. Buy a pair today and save your body. For light sparring we start off with action flex sticks, hand and groin protection and wekaf style head gear.
