Most of my neighbors were browns who would refuse and whine when I wanted to stick fight. One Korean friend of mine would play with me though. I always appreciated a nice stick and brandished it as if was a sword from a fantasy game. Good times.

Haha you just dug up a fun memory.
When I was in early high school, I started a "boffer club." Boffer weapons are usually made of PVC, with a pool noodle or other foam plus duct tape added around it as padding.
I made a shield out of layers of cardboard, foam and tape, and added cam straps for my arm, then wielded a one handed sword in my other hand. One of my most enthusiastic participants was also an Asian kid. He made this double ended Darth Maul style weapon, while there was a German kid who basically made a gigantic bow with no bowstring or arrows, and just whacked people with it as a melee weapon.
We wrote up and printed an entire ruleset in Microsoft Word and had weekly meetings for a good while. I primarily grew up around Pacific Islanders, and they were very interested in it, often stopping to ask questions or express desire to participate when we met after hours on the local golf course.
We did something like that, only we used real sticks (or shovel handles, shaped plywood, whathave you) and didn't have rules. Only lasted one session, though...
Whenever I went hiking with my dad I would always find a walking stick. Then I would always ask to take it home and he would make me throw it in the woods. Lmao
We lived in an area with lots of wooded gulches between neighborhoods/main roads that were linked with trails. What we called stick fights was throwing sticks from high ground at kids trying to get to high ground. The entire area is overpopulated with homeless now. I rolled a TV down a hill onto a kid named Ryan, he got fucked up and we all had a good laugh.

Good times indeed.
