Single stick combat can be traced all that way back to the 1500s where it was used to train swordsman for basket-hilted broadswords and backswords. Considered safer than practicing with a steel weapon, the Irish and and Scottish used these sticks for sport and everyday self-defense. Single stick influenced western calvary saber and infantry sidearm techniques, being used in military training all the way up through World War II!
