Q&A for How to Fight With a Stick

It could help if you are attacked by someone attempting to injure you or abduct you and you have no other weapons. This could also apply to other stick-like weapons.

If it's the right length then yes, it does apply. If it's too short, like a knife, then it won't help.

Find a local martial arts center. Usually, Dojo's that train karate teach this kind of thing.

If you have anything else nearby that could be used as a weapon, then grab it and defend yourself with it. If that's not possible, then try to run away as quickly as possible.

This is unlikely if the stick is rather blunt on the ends. But if it somehow does happen, go for sensitive body parts while they're in shock from being stabbed. Go for the nether regions, the solar plexus, the crown of their heads, etc.

Yes, just twirl the stick so your hand doesn't get hit. Move the stick quickly and hit the attacker as fast as possible.

If you're right-handed, put your right hand on the very end of the staff. Put the left one a little higher up (1.5-2 feet maybe). Stand with your right foot forward, then take a step with the left and swing the staff at the same time. The momentum makes the stick very dangerous. I recommend checking out a YouTube video on "The Modern Rogue" channel called "Fighting with Quarterstaffs."
