Jogo do pau

Jogo do Pau is a traditional Portuguese martial art that involves fighting with a long stick called a "pau."

Think of it like playing a pretend sword fight with your friends, but instead of a sword, you use a long stick.

During a Jogo do Pau match, two people face each other and try to hit each other with their sticks. They can hit each other on the head, body, and legs but they have to be careful not to hurt each other too much.

The person who hits their opponent the most times without getting hit back wins the game.

Jogo do Pau has a lot of rules and techniques that the players have to learn in order to become good at it. Some of these techniques include moving quickly to dodge the other person's stick, and using different grips on the stick to make it harder for the other person to hit you.

It's a really fun and exciting sport to watch, but it's also important for the players to be safe and careful so that they don't get hurt.
