'The style was known for its use of sticks, the short staff in
particular. Most speak of a stick that was about a meter long. Countless
youth of the time became experts in its use. Old timers I have met
still talk of using their stick to fight off Arabs with knives.
One of the uniquely Israeli applications of this stick fighting was the
aggressive, offensive nature of the training and of its use.
Practitioners describe that when an attacker appeared someone would
shout "The enemy is here!" and the
practitioners would raise up their sticks in one hand while the other
hand was ready for action as well. You do not run away. You face him
straight on and make it clear you are not afraid. You wave your stick at
him.'
