Twerps, Goons and Meatshields by James LaFond

The Basics of Full Contact Stick-Fighting

From 1998 through 2016 James fought 673 stick bouts for a record of 449 wins, 171 losses and 53 draws. This introduction to stick-fighting fundamentals covers: 

-The four basic stroke angles 

-The three basic methods of stroking with a blunt extension weapon 

-The basic defenses against the stick 

-The only disarms that will succeed with any regularity

-Basic, intermediate and advanced foot work 

Twerps, Goons and Meatshields is not about twirling a stick, but about navigating the combat space in the most brutal context, with stick in hand.
