How To Fight With The Quarterstaff 1 - Basic Attack 

Person A: Behold my mighty Albion sword! Person B: Haha! staff go (skull cracking noise)

I'm sure you all know this, but even with the mask, the staff is an immensely devastating weapon. Now, I had always been taught the quarterstaff came to a hands length above your head but perhaps that changes from English to German staffs. While this staff doesn't have the same leverage as the English staff does that doesn't make it a less formidable a weapon. Even with the mask these staffs can and will concuss and may even fracture or break bones, so exercise control! Like I said this is more meant for the viewers not so much the Dreynschlag staff (pun intended)

Oh. mein. Gott.....GEDI HAS A VOICE! XD Glad to see y'all again!

Excellent video...often times videos like this are overwhelmed with details that overcomplicate techniques....this was informative but also straight to the point

Interesting that the "ideal" staff length is so variant from one master to the other.

I've been following you guys since your longsword tutorials. I've been looking for an instructional quarterstaff series for awhile now so I'm really psyched that you guys are covering it.

You guys rock and I loved the demonstration !!!

let me get my mop , start the tutorial.

Good to have you guys back. Informative. Thanks.

love your sense of humor!

There are not enough quarterstaff videos out there in my opinion and this one is cool

A weapon is effective in the hands of someone trained to use it as a weapon. Otherwise it's just a stick. Train for what might happen. Not for the peace you hope for.

Este ataque básico é de extrema eficiência. Já testamos inclusive no saco de pancadas,muito bom,ótima instrução, saudações a todos em Viena

Muito bom,estamos praticando com bons resultados.otima instrução

Loved this one!

very interesting, glad I found the video, I really enjoy seeing the difference between the okinawan bo and european quarterstaff techniques! Ich schau mir sicher die restlichen videos auch an ;)

great video，thx a lot, cant imagine I am learning longsword and staff from the same channel LOL

Good stuff I want to try staff fighting soon

great video!

Great video

fascinating how much variation there is between martial arts schools even in similar systems.

Great ending 😀👌

Awesome Video! Thank you. Do you have any books or DVDs for instructions?

Técnica parecida com o bojutsu japonês. Muito bom,grande técnica

I truly want to learn a Bo Staff. Can you make tutorials on that. It will be helpful.

I personally don't get my hands into stick combat but this seems really cool

It looks like the helmet is useful after all! 😄

I've always wanted one made of lignum vitae, though may be too heavy

Interesting video, new to fighting with quarterstaff and doing research for my character in A Tabletop RPG, but none of the video has discussed tripping the opponent with the staff. Is this uncommon or not very useful in hand to hand combat?

I am here because I have an awesome anime and or real life imaginative animation going through my head and I want my main character to use his weapon properly.

In these days when people wielding knives attack young children, an innocent looking broom handle in the hands of a youth leader can be effective protection. Thanks for the tutorials

It is sometimes a good thing to remember that there is no such thing as a "practice quarterstaff." There are only Weapons of different length and heft. Wear protection so that you will have a sparring partner that you can beat into submission more than once.

Love the sense of humor! Looks like around 20 centimeters (8 inches) taped off at each end?

I like this Question scene.😂😂😂👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

What is the lightest material you could make a staff from and still be effective? Fiberglass maybe?

So would these techniques be use with walking stick.

So, bernhard’s tshirt, is it alwayes the same? And the knee brace... was it the kick to the knee? Love the video💚

What's the difference between the European quarter staff fighting style and the Japanese bo staff fighting style?

Danke für dieses tolle Video! Sehr lehrreich. Mögt Ihr verraten wie schwer Eure Stöcke sind und welchen Durchmesser sie haben? Unsere sind 1,80 lang, haben einen Durchmesser von knapp 3 cm und wiegen in der leichten Kiefernholzausführung etwas über 800g.

Why is the hand located on the higher part of the staff holding it in a reverse grip? Wouldn't a regular grip be better for leverage and manoeuvrability?

My staff is about a foot bigger than me. Can I still practice these techniques?

Where do you get those meyer pants?

You don't happen to know of any place in the Netherlands where I could learn the quarterstaff in person? 😬 (These videos are already so useful, thank you, but I want to try it for myself!)

Would any of these techniques work with a spear perhaps?

3:19 why this clip have less than 500k views is beyond me

Does the staff ends have to be equal in diameter?

This technique is also called "Bonk!" on the InterWebs.

Will oak work? Would the ground to mouth height be ideal for a 6’2” hiker who wants no trouble while on the trail?

Is there a HEMA society in the United States that I can find?

Would love to yield one

I don't know if you guys are still answering questions but here goes nothing! I live in a somewhat dangerous area where unarmed or knife muggings have been known to occur and am considering getting a quarterstaff for self-defence, as I do not have the funds or desire to acquire a fire arm and the carry of swords is illegal. Do you have any tips for quarterstaff vs. knife confrontations?

Is it safe to say that for a left-handed person, the stance is simply mirrored? The staff would be gripped with the right hand at the rear and the left (dominant) hand at the front?

How do i book a lesson with you?

but what kind of pants are those

Wow Gedi really did some damage to Bernhard's leg.

Where can I get those staffing pants? Up my game with some visual distractions.

Where does one order a 180cm piece of ash wood, though?

Gedi may have been hit with a staff to the unprotected head before. That's why he's asking these excellent questions.

Glück Auf! Wenn ihr den Stock mit der rechten Hand auf diese Art greift ist Vorsicht geboten. Denn der richtige Abstand zum Gegner ist dabei sehr wichtig um sich nicht selbst am Handgelenk zu verletzen. Denn wenn man nur wenige Zentimeter zu weit vom Gegner entfernt steht und seinen Arm weiter strecken muss entsteht ein ungünstiger Winkel für das rechte Handgelenk. Dies verringert die Schlagwirkung und kann das Gelenk verletzten.

The Forbidden "Bonk!" technique.

how much is long must be the mair short staff?

I want permission to use your basic teaching technique partly in my fantasy book. Will you permit me? It's not written word for word, only based on what is mentioned.

When it comes to fighting it’s generally better to keep up the pressure, continuing to attack while your opponent is attempting to recover from the blow you just dealt. Retreating gives him more time to recover and counter attack

Would oak be an appropriate choice of wood?

Hi, I'm here to tell you how to beat people's skulls into toothpaste. *proceeds to speak in the softest most serene voice possible*

Quartersaff bae

Was für tolle Videos! Wenn ich bloß ein bißchen weniger gehbehindert wäre! Mit Stöcken lauf‘ ich eh schon rum :)

the conflict resolution thumbnail is a bit funny

I think you understand german; Warum seid ihr die einzigen, die den Stab so halten? Also beide Daumen in eine Richtung? Alle anderen Techniken machens anders... ich weiß "Was ist besser"-Fragen sind im Kampf kaum zu beantworten. Hoffe aber auf etwas Erleuchtung :D

Jetzt da ich .ich mehr damit beschäftige, ist mir aufgefallen. In der einen Sprache redet man vom Viertel in der anderen von der Hälfte 😁

I see that Gedi's kick from the last Longsword video had some lasting effect ;)

I accidentally made a hard bamboo staff though I don't have more muscle ro force myself to speed up cuz there's a chance that I'll just injured myself Soo 😂 I only use that staff when doing some monkey staff moves😂. Man wish I could find a lighter bamboo😆

I am here only for the funny accents :)

That is not quarterstaff, it is some form of using a staff but definitely not quarterstaff

3:17 LOL

Yes Gedi has a voice, now go back to being hit, nobody cares xD Not when I'm more interested in WHERE CAN I BUY BERNHARD'S T-SHIRT?

The helmet is used to protect your head from shattering like a melon. LOL

I can't practice head shots! I can practice anything that's not so likely to kill a man.

But a melon is much softer than a head.

I sure bet this basic attack would hurt to get hit by but the way the hands are gripped seems to restrict a lot of potential force. To me who knows near to nothing about hema it just seems an awkward grip.

I appreciate the effort but should really see how other martial arts use the staff. Pictures in books do not seem to be so helpful. Learn the basics first, then interprete the pictures.

*boop*

Why are the hands reversed? Thumbs down? Dosnt make sense to me.

All that effort to knock someone on the head, please just wapp them around the head as hard as you can!

This is too short of a staff...

I’d have used a coconut.

But its just wood xD

Max power is through the whole body
