The British Quarterstaff Association teaches men the art and technique of the quarterstaff, a weapon whose use predates written history.

Today, the British Quarterstaff Association provides men with a form of training that is rooted in British traditions, through regular classes and events.

As a combat form, the use of the quarterstaff requires learning sets of attacks and defences, coordination of eye, hand and body and how to focus intention.

More fundamental than these is learning how to use posture and weight shifting to direct energy economically. Still more fundamental is adopting the approach of the warrior.
