Hi Guys, My name is Rob Lovett and I have been interpreting and translation Fior di Battaglia for a few years now. I find the system laid out in Fior di Battaglia one of the most complete that I have come across. If anyone is interested in this, then please do not hesitate to ask. Also, we hold workshops every two months, the next on the first Sunday of April. If anyone is interested then please do not hesitate to ask, it is going to be on knife. Also, we will be at SENI04 so please look us up on the BFHS stand. We will also be demonstrating. Regards Rob

Can you expound on the Canarian Juego del Palo? I've seen a few illustrations of the art, but never an in-depth or somewhat general description of the history of this art. Also, is it similar to the Portuguese Jogo do Pau? Thanks much, ValeTudo
Canarian Juego del Palo Stickfighting Hi ValeTudo From the little I have seen the Canarian style reminds me of Quaterstaff fighting, whereas the Portuguese looks like it's based on double and single-handed sword techniques... I hope to get some input from a couple of practicioners from both styles to write a piece for MAP, so keep checking in.... For a more in-depth description; http://www.palocanario.com/Historia JPC INGLES.htm http://ejmas.com/jwma/articles/2000/jwmaart_wolf_0500.html Louie
lutra livre Any one heard of this, the european version it means free fighting, my step father a Breton was telling me about it i think its spanish or basque
Luta Livre Mapper SoKKlab wrote on a previous thread: Luta Livre=means Free Wrestling, or Free for all wrestling. Luta (Wrestle)-Livre (Free) in Portuguese. Similiar expression found in all the Latin Languages. I know it's very popular in Brazil and there's some rivalry with BJJ...... Anyone out there with a background in this art able to post a thread? Louie
