  Check out this one ,Brenda. It is one of the best examples I've seen.

  Note the traditional costume with the mirror on the chest.

  This is an even better example of the stick fighting rhythm, since it includes the traditional stick fighting costumes and dance.

  The dance and costumes are also meant to distract the opponent, making it easier for him to be hit.

  And BTW, for those who wonder why I post these non steelband videos, it is because they represent the culture from which the steelband arose.

  In the early days some of the same people were involved in all of these activities.

  My favorite stick fighting video.

  I've known of amateurs getting intoxicated by the drums (and the rum)  and jumping into the ring, only to get a quick "buss' head"!.
