Hit the staff

Schematic representation: hit the rod

The trainer slowly passes a staff (such as an inverted spear) back and forth in front of him in various patterns. The trainee tries to hit the end of the staff with well-aimed and cleanly executed strokes and thrusts.

Here, however, not only the precision of the hit counts, but also the entire stroke movement and posture. The hardness of the hits should also be appropriate.

At the beginning, the staff can be artificially thickened, e.g. by a glove.

Possible patterns are (according to difficulty):

from right to left
from top to bottom
pay attention
