The stick is a common object. Hold the stick close to its end, and the first way of attacking is the way of hammering. Few attacks that are identical. Naturally you can attack with other parts of the body, as punches and kicks.
Fluid and continuous attacks like with a figure eight. Attacks can be downwards or upwards. First attacks can be vertical or horizontal. Here, horizontal attacks, starting inward or outward. The first attacks, one can attack in a hammering way, or in the fluent figure eight way.
Start with a vertical attack from below without much of a telegraphing of your intentions. Attacks can be hammering or with a figure eight.
Series of attacks with a stick, hammering and a figure eight, one can close the distance and attack even with a protruding part, the back part of the stick, the one close to the hand. Other parts of the body can do attacks too, such as kicks, punches, knees, elbows, grabbing, et cetera.
Using the stick for defense purposes. Hold the stick with two hands. Naturally it should be a weapon or a tool that is strong enough, stable enough, sturdy, to hold the impact of the attacking stick or attacking weapon. Send the tool to block the attack. Simultaneously, advance a bit and counter-attack with a kick to the groin area. Finish with more counter-attacks as needed. Circle. Scan, and move away from danger zone.
Using the stick for defense purposes, here dry drilling. Send the stick, held in two hands, to block the attack as far away from your body as possible. Your far hand can be either the higher one or the lower one. When you send the block to the side, you have to turn your body to be able to block the attack away from you.
A. Strikes
B. Kicks
C. Outside "Stabbing" Defenses(from relevant stances, ready or passive)
D. Hand Defenses Against Regular (Front) Kicks
Notes: Advanced training includes defending against a front kick and a follow-on straight strike; Techniques #1.1 and #2 combined together are effectively against a kick of unknown height.

F. Defending Against a Tackle, 'Shoot to the Legs' (or to the Lower Body)
Note: For adults, this subject may be tested in full at higher levels (until G1).
