Jogo Du Pau
This Portuguese martial art style revolves around the
use of a staff. It is said to have begun with the versatility
of the staff as a tool in climbing rural terrain, crossing
rivers, and defense against wild animals. While it’s been
in decline since the 20th century as people moved to
cities, it has made a bit of a comeback for people who
want something to fall back on when a gun or knife isn’t
available.
