Great photos and the African version of fencing is a game called stick fighting !LOLZ
'Fencing' was just the title. Actually it gathered two dozen of different clubs from the field of wrestling / martial arts. Mostly it was fencing but a few others as well. I noticed a lot of Jedi with 'light swords' and also Irish gentlemen equipped with something they called "Irish cane" i.e. not a club... but it seemed to me that it were exactly clubs, haha. In any case, definitely sort of a stick fighting! so, this is not a South African exclusive. European settlers emigrated everywhere bringing their traditions and cultural heritage to all corners of the world. .. and !BEER ... and !PIZZA too. 🐈
this is not a South African exclusive.
I am aware that it's not an African exclusive, as many countries in the world were invaded by European settlers, and to this day many Europeans still live here in South Africa. Stick fighting however is an African sport where each participant gets two sticks, and they try to outdo each other by blocking blows to their arms and legs.
