    The ancient Portuguese martial art Jogo do Pau....

    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".
