Here is the youtube posted description about the video your about to see.
Portuguese soldiers learn "Jogo do Pau" in order to use the rifle as a stick and to use the bayonet.
It is a very ancient Portuguese martial art.
It is recognized internationally as the most advanced martial art using sticks.
Can be used a very long stick or a short one.
Translated to English it is "stickfighting".
Translated literally to English the Portuguese the word "jogar" means "throwing" or "striking"; or "handling" which is actually the most accurate translation. And the word "pau" means "stick".
