The Acosta style is recognized as one of the most aggressive and fastest of the Canary Islands. It is characterized by the central grip of the staff, which facilitates the use of the two ends, and the predominance of the short distance game, at times crouched in order to surprise the opponent. The hands never cross and the continuous changes offer greater mobility and harmony. On this video, Marino Acosta, currently responsible for the style's transmission, explains to us the basic movements of attack and defense, the basic routine, the shadow exercises, the training method, and the 1st section of advanced movements. The original short staff style of the Acosta of Tenerife is a treasure for the lovers of staff fencing.
