How to Fight With a Stick: 10 Steps (with Pictures) - wikiHow
The brief ten-panel illustrated guide to beginning stick-fighting below, is an excellent basic presentation. There is nothing in here that would require redirected training in order to advance the skill set. I recommend it for children as a starter course. It is also perfect for training up unskilled militia or law enforcement.

This is actually a fantastic starter guide. Good find!
Styers ("Cold Steel") seemed to like a much closer style of baton/stick fighting, poking and two-handed wielding, rather than rapier-style, single-handed use. Pros and cons?
