Defenses, Chronicle of the Stick Game

Defenses, Chronicle of the Stick Game 2008 Directed by Aldrina Valenzuela Defensos, Crónica del Juego de Palos

The Garrote Game, an art almost extinct due to its clandestine nature throughout time, contains a whole proposal of behavior, conduct and a philosophy deeply rooted in the roots of the Venezuelan people. Through the testimonies and games of some masters of this form of self-defense, we delve into this manifestation of national identity, as a phenomenon of oral transmission that has survived many generations.
