Stick Seminar

I enjoyed myself at the stick seminar earlier today. Not only did I learn new techniques, but I learned ways to apply them in fights. What I learned with the sticks can also apply to hand-to-hand; after all, the sticks are merely extensions of our bodies. Many of the strikes and blocks we do with them can be done without them. In a normal fight, I'm most likely going to be without my short sticks, so it's important for the techniques to carry over.
