Henan traditional stick

It is a traditional discipline included in the practice of Classical Martial Arts.
The Chinese used the stick in the practice of their Classical Martial Arts, and the Shaolin School therefore paid great attention to its study.

It was also highly prized by Tao initiates, who represented Laozi (Lao Tzu) with a dragon-shaped stick. It is therefore still studied both in the "External" or "hard" arts originating from Shaolin and in the "Internal" or "soft" arts such as classical Taiji Quan (Tai Chi Chuan).
Very early in history, under Chinese influence, the Art of the Stick spread throughout the Far East...

The proposed practice is directly derived from the art of the classic peasant stick.
. This practice is renowned both for its energetic value, linked to strengthening health, and for its martial effectiveness in combat.
This method was based on the principle of the "Five Movements", which generate and dominate each other:
This form is quite short and contains the essence of attack and defense movements... For nearly two millennia, the Art of the Baton has been an integral part of the Martial Art... now it can be part of the Art of Living! ( Georges Charles)
