what syle teaches the 8ft and 12ft staff

[Crucio]

I was just wondering which style teaches these weapons

[Sho-ju]

Chinese styles of gung fu.

If you can find somewhere teaching traditional English fighting, there are a few places that teach shortstaff (8 to 9ft, where the fighting styles are quarterstaff and halfstaff). I don't know of any traditional western place that teaches longstaff (12 to 14ft).

 

With the quarterstaff style, you hold the end quarter of the staff, with halfstaff (the type you usually see on films) you hold the centre half of the staff between your hands (good for confined spaces).

Hi!

 

I practice Choy Lay Fut single/double end whirling staff.

 

If you can find instruction in Single end Choy Lay Fut, a 7+foot staff is used.
