Return to Amazing Staff Fighting Techniques

<h2>Amazing Staff Fighting Techniques</h2>by TrevelyanKianStaff fighting is a discipline that is not quite as popular as the other more romanticized and often-depicted fighting styles. While almost every other weapons-based martial art has received the lion's share of attention over the years from TV, movies and the various media, relatively little is known about staff fighting techniques. If more people were aware of how effective and devastating this weapon is however, it would surely receive far more attention than it does now. Still, staff fighting is slowly getting more attention lately. There was a recent feature on a popular TV program that described the different weapons wielded in martial arts that showed just how powerful a simple piece of wood can be when wielded in the hands of an expert. Capable of delivering a wide range of strikes from sweeps to glides to skull crushing blows and even jabs, staff fighting techniques are certainly something to be reckoned with. In fact, when faced with the prospect of a swirling staff that you have little or no chance of blocking or intercepting, the outcome of the combat will more likely than not favor the staff fighter. As impressive as the staff is for offensive combat techniques, it actually makes quite a good defensive weapon as well. It can block or parry virtually any type of strike thrown by your opponent, whether they are punches or kicks, and it can even be used to break your way out of a hold if you are unfortunate enough to get caught in one. The staff has been used as a powerful weapon by many cultures around the globe, and each one has developed staff fighting techniques unique to their country. China in particular has developed many techniques and methods for staff fighting, and they are an integral part of the country's wushu or war arts style. The Japanese use several different lengths of staff, among them the 3-foot long han-bo or half-staff and the 4-foot long jo. Everyone from the Koreans, East Indians, and the Filipinos have used staffs as weapons. Even the English once used eight foot long pieces of wood as weapons called quarterstaffs.<h3>About the Author</h3>Visit <a href=http://www.fightingtechniques.org/>Fighting Techniques</a> for powerful <a href=http://www.fightingtechniques.org/russian-fighting-techniques.html>Russian Fighting Techniques</a> and ancient <a href=http://www.fightingtechniques.org/samurai-fighting-techniques.html>Samurai Fighting Techniques</a>.
