A rich history
Stick fighting is a thrilling martial art where a stick or rod is used as a weapon for both self-defense and combat. This practice has a rich history and is prevalent in many cultures worldwide, including African, Filipino, and Indian martial arts. In this sport, fighters utilize various techniques to strike, block, and disarm their opponents using sticks of different lengths and diameters. The techniques involve hand-to-hand combat and the use of the stick as a weapon. Some stick fighting forms also incorporate knives or spears as weapons. Stick fighting can be enjoyed as a competitive sport or as a practical self-defense technique, providing an efficient way to protect oneself in perilous situations.
Master the stick
Stick training is an integral part of the SAMI Combat Systems curriculum. Our SAMI-X Stick System incorporates techniques from various martial arts, including Filipino stick fighting, which is known for its effective use of sticks as weapons. Stick fighting is included in the Weapon Defense curriculum, which emphasizes defense against armed attackers with various weapons such as sticks, knives, and firearms. SAMI-X Stick is designed to be practical and efficient, focusing on real-life scenarios rather than competition or sport. Students learn different techniques such as hitting, blocking, and disarming, and are taught how to use sticks for both offense and defense. They also learn how to defend themselves against armed attackers using sticks, and how to use sticks as a self-defense tool in situations where other weapons may not be available.
