That's really sad, because one day I wanted to go and learn Jogo do Pรฃo. I hear it's a dying art but they're trying to keep it alive.
lol
I believe "jogo da bolacha" is a more common name here X)
Lmao I was confused but I think I see where I got it wrong. I said "bread game" instead of "stick game". XD
Apologies for butchering the language. :)
...Lol the machine translation of "jogo do pau" appears to be...Less than polite? Hahaha.
So, clarification: I think rural stick fighting from Portugal would be really cool to learn. :) lol
Actually, the traditional Jogo da Bolacha is also a thing. If you're in Portugal and someone asks for you to join, YOU JOIN. It's extremely rude for foreigners to refuse the Jogo da Bolacha. Specially if the inviter winks at you. It's also good manners to announce you'll loose the first few times, while you learn. If people are surprised by this just smile, lick your lips and say you're the Cookie Monster. You'll be accepted among us very quickly.
Oh, you're a feisty one, aren't you!
