Não se pode deixar esta arte morrer

Would love to learn this. Had no idea it existed, but it's such an element of Portuguese culture and I'm surprised nobody has ever mentioned it to me.

Thank you Trans World Sports for bringing this wonderful martial art some popularity, I like this martial art as well as other martial arts from Europe and Africa.

Thank you for keeping it alive. Muito obrigado por manterem a arte viva. Battle of Aljubarrota 1385.

its beautiful to watch, basically art in motion

49 years ago I saw Portuguese boys dancing using poles as weapons in Honolulu, but thought they just imitating the kung fu dance was very popular at the time. now I know otherwise.

Brutal e Feliz coincidência esta, de eu, por uma reminiscência fortuita, procurar este assunto e logo descobrir uma publicação tão extraordinária e tão recente ! Obrigado.

Let's not forget, competition isn't the priority, most importantly is to test whatever u learned from the teaching,TEST OUT whatever work or not in a FIXED SITUATION.

Obrigada mestre!

Outstanding!

Love Love

Awesome....

They hold the staff differently from the Chinese or the Japanese staff Arts I noticed they hold the staff with the left hand above the right

very cool

Nice

Does anyone know if there are some online courses?

❤️

well, technically this is also HEMA

Sadly this seems to be the case with martial arts in general, but especially Aikido where there is no competition and one needs a brain to understand the training, its methods and it's purpose.

Where can I learn this wonderful Art

Is there parhaps a Portuguese club in South Africa that teaches this martial art?

nice. maybe you guys could join a dog brothers tournament :) try sparring with filipino styles and others :)

It looks like a lightsaber duel but with sticks.

4:50 yeah that's way too long for a name.

During the modern period, many Portuguese soldiers from the north of Portugal travel to the Indian Ocean to serve in the royal armies, alongside Christian Canaries, Nayaks Kerala and Indian Sepoys, before returning to their native villages 11. It is quite likely that these men , mostly poor and inland, have enriched their original fighting techniques during their years of service in the East. Especially since Indian discipline knows its golden age on the coast of Malabar during the period of Portuguese domination. Kalaripayatt is then an institutional pillar of Kerala society. Engaged in the Portuguese armada or allied to the Portuguese Crown, Nayak warriors practicing Kalarippayatt are the guarantors of the social order and back of Malabar security dominated by the Portuguese.

0:18 Jogo do pau was not a battlefield martial art it was primarily self defence and solving disputes and so on (as mentioned later in the video), it was used for a short time in guerilla warfare but was not designed for it and footsoldier to poor to afford a weapon? trust me if they were even a basic soldier they would at least have a spear and they would not be swinging it around nearly as much as they show in the video, secondly at 0:23 isn´t even jogo do pau it´s from joachim meyer (1600 germany)

j jogo do vrau

What? Are you serious? Soldiers that couldnt afford a better weapon? The Portuguese were armed by their Kings, everyone had full armour and everyone had the best weapons of that time. Google Battle of Aljubarrota and Portuguese montante. I think you meant to say that everyone practiced it because it was our national past time, but our knights were the most sophisticated and most respected knights around the world in the 14th century.

Why Vladimir Putin

@Trans World Sport The "Xogo do pao" is NOT "Portuguese". It was also practiced in places like Galicia, Extremadura and Asturias. When my grandad was a kid, there even were old men traveling around small villages in Galicia to teach it to kids. Please, get your information right Trans World Sport.
