Dos Puntas

Dos Puntas (Two techniques) is a close range system involving holding a single stick in the middle and utilizing both ends.

The stick can be used in the same manner as a Dagger, Dulo Dulo, butt end of a stick or as a reinforced fist. Depending on the angle of the hand and the line of defence or attack, the stick can be used to slash, stab, butt, block or disarm.

An effective defence technique is to counter attack by blocking with the hand and at the same time hitting directly into muscle or nerve areas, temporarily paralysing the attacker.

Students are taught how to apply this system in the Palit-Palit (give and take) drills with a partner.
