      just wanted to say this even though its an old comment. a painters stick probably wouldn't have done the job unless it was a hardwood, and not that cheap wood they use for most handles. you certainly would have hurt them, but a firm strike is just as likely as snapping the stick, so don't feel too bad!

      It's so true. And it's so wonderful to see how much of the footwork and the methods of "controlling the line" translate to my fencing training from years ago and how so much of the technique translates so effortlessly over to other weapon systems. Its like if you master the quarterstaff, you almost automatically have a leg up on other fighting styles. No wonder Silver and Swetnam, among others, called it the greatest of the melee weapons.

    If your quarter staff is adorned with an appropriately sized copper pipe coupling, one epoxied on each end of the staff it is still light, but the staff won’t split, splinter or wear down on the end. Plus, the end packs a much more robust striking end that leaves a memorable impression on whatever gets schwacked.

      What you say is true - only issue would be for people living in countries where weapons are restricted. If you have something that looks like a weapon the police will confiscate it. So a piece of heavy dowel does not look like a weapon unless you put the metal ferrules on each end.

    This is the best quarterstaf hema introduction video I've found on RUclips. Teaching to some real students, who would question stuff and ask for explanations, as well as showing the two people drills really helped structuring the lesson in a way that makes sense.

      “Hammar moved to stand beside Galad, still groaning on the ground and trying to push himself up. The warder raised his voice to shout, “Who was the greatest blademaster of all time?’
      From the throats of dozens of students came a massed bellow. “Jearom, Gaidin!”
      “Yes!” Hammar shouted, turning to make sure all heard. “During his lifetime, Jearom fought over ten thousand times, in battle and single combat. He was defeated once. By a farmer with a quarterstaff! Remember that. Remember what you just saw.”
      During his lifetime, the greatest blademaster fought over ten thousand times, in battle and single combat. He was defeated once. By a farmer with a quarterstaff! Remember that.”

      Alpha_Anti Gaming I made a batch of mead about twenty five years ago. I used 25 pounds of Colorado wildflower honey and claret yeast for a five gallon batch. It took about five years after bottling before the taste was what I considered good to excellent. My friends beg me to bring bottles of that mead to holiday parties. I’m down to the last four champagne bottles. I don’t know what was going on in the bottles with that mead, but if your mead is nasty, don’t dump it. Just let it be and it will work through it’s issues on it’s own. Honey is too expensive and precious these days to be wasted.

    Love the video guys! In a world of cool swords, shields, and other blades, the Quarter Staff is almost always overlooked and underappreciated. It's just ironic that it is one of the most universally effective melee weapons ever. Lots of cultures figured out how effective the "big stick" was and adopted it. In Japanese and HEMA fencing, I have always had such a hard time fighting quarterstaff fighters with a sword. Cheers.

They will roll up on him, touch his shoulder and say, "Omae wa mou shindeiru." Then his head will explode. Ninja magic is powerful, yo.
