Functional 2 person stick fighting drill

[conw]

This is gold for anyone who wants to work on some stick skills with a partner. It is very simple but addresses the complexity of a fight without teaching arbitrary or dead patterns.

I wrote a bit more about Paul Sharp recently in this thread in ST&T: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=740374 .

He has worked closely with Southnarc and as he mentions in the article actually created some of the physical techniques used in SN's classes.

Bumping this for anyone who missed it.

I have not used it because sticks are not a current area of focus for me but I have used similar drills for boxing and grappling and will say this is a super training method. It really cuts to the chase and as long as you start with realistic pacing and a good partner it's such an excellent way to get the fundamentals down.
