This book explores the history, techniques, and cultural significance of Jogo do Pau, Portugal's traditional stick-fighting martial art. It traces its origins in Iberian combat traditions, shaped by centuries of warfare and rural survival. The book examines how regional styles developed across Portugal's landscapes, from the rugged mountains of the north to the open plains of the south, and how both noble and peasant classes practiced and preserved the art. Jogo do Pau played an essential role in community conflicts, serving as both a means of self-defense and a way to settle disputes through structured duels. It was deeply integrated into local festivities and customs, where fighters demonstrated their skill in public competitions. As a symbol of national identity, it reflects Portugal's history of resilience and self-reliance. The book also covers the fundamental principles of Jogo do Pau, including footwork, timing, adaptability against multiple opponents, and the ethical codes that guided its practitioners. It explores how training was passed down through family lineages and local masters, ensuring that each generation preserved the techniques and values of the art. With modernization, Jogo do Pau faced decline, but preservation efforts and formal schools have helped keep it alive. Comparisons with other stick-fighting traditions highlight its unique approach, while cross-cultural exchanges show its influence beyond Portugal. The book concludes with an examination of its role in contemporary self-defense and its enduring legacy in martial arts communities today.
