FORCE: Mastering Stick Fighting

The stick isn’t a toy. It’s an extension of your body—and a devastating weapon when used correctly.

In real combat, you don’t rise to the occasion… you fall to your training. And when the threat is armed, improvised, or chaotic, your ability to control space and structure with any object can save your life.

In FORCE: Mastering Stick Fighting, DSI Instructor Frank Annese breaks down the Fundamentals of Real Combat Explained using one of the oldest and most versatile self-defense tools: the stick. Whether you train Filipino martial arts, traditional karate, or modern combatives, this video will help you develop explosive striking ability, structural disarms, and survival-driven reflexes that work with or without the weapon in hand.

• 🧠 Brush-Grab-Strike System – Master the drill that teaches you to intercept, redirect, and counter faster than a thought

• 🧷 Real Disarms & Joint Locks – Learn takedowns and wrist releases based on stick leverage and anatomical control

• 🦴 Targeted Striking for Pain & Collapse – Aim for joints, ribs, neck, and pressure points to overwhelm the body’s defenses

“The stick is a tool. The principle is the weapon.”

Frank teaches not just what to do, but how to adapt: stick vs stick, stick vs empty hand, and hand vs hand. You’ll develop instincts that transfer across ranges, tools, and threat levels.
