Stafffighters e-Learning Project
This is the brand new:
You will find these first steps organized in 6 sections, 35 lessons (which include a description and a video), 7 assignments and 3 quizzes, and a maximum duration of 16 weeks (approx. 4 months).
Take a look at the curriculum; you have 2 lessons open for preview. As part of the evaluation you will be invited to present videos of your progress that will be viewed and evaluated by a teacher, and you will also have a forum that you can use to communicate with teachers and other students.
At the end of the course, you will get a Diploma that certifies you attended and completed a course that is equivalent to the Graduation of Amarelo 1.º grau.
You can get full graduation if you attend a physical event with one of our teachers; this can be in Cascais, Portugal, or in your home town if a group is created that can justify such an event.
This course is developed by “Jogo do Pau Cascais – Stafffighters” following the technique we teach in our schools.
It is supervised by Professor Ricardo Moura – Cinta Preta of Jogo do Pau, President and Founding member of Jogo do Pau Association of Cascais, who has over a decade of continuous practice.
We hope you enjoy this course. Feel free to contact us with questions or suggestions.
All training sessions begin with a salutation between students and teacher/s. It's a sign of respect for the teacher, students, and peers that marks the beginning of a class.
This chapter aims to teach one of the holding guard positions, "Guarda de espera alta à ponta do pau na posição esquerda" (for athletes with the dominant right hand).
Before the start of the game, a ritual is usually performed that marks the transition from a relaxed situation to a guard position (usually for a “guarda de espera”).
Just like when we start the game, a ritual is usually performed that marks the transition from a relaxed situation to a guard position. Once the game or exercise ends, we mark it by performing another ritual to revert from the guard position into a relaxed position.
The grab, also known as the act of grabbing, holding our weapon or, in this case, how to hold a wood staff with approximately 1.50 cm long.
Whenever we launch an attack, we must target a specific location on the opponent's body.
Distance is one of the aspects most developed and trained in our technique, and its importance is transverse to all schools of Jogo do Pau and even other martial arts with weapons.
The first movement of approaching the opponent, normally performed during an attack, is called "Crescer". It means something like "to grow".
This movement is the exact opposite of the movement previously described (Crescer).
It is common in combat to use the type of movement that is quickest and that most facilitates the rotation of each attack or places the body in the most appropriate defensive position. For that, we have to include two more movements: Avançar and Sair.
Being the opposite movement to the previous one, "Sair" works in the same way.
The first attacks of our technique are the Enviesados/Oblique
This exercise intends to increase the efficiency of your attack by using a fixed target.
