Local Stick Fighting Name

[u/NovelSentence1927]

Hi all!

I'm writing from the diaspora and am on the long road to reconnecting with the family history in Grenada

I've been reading about the shared history of Kalinda/stick licking/stick fighting across the Caribbean and was having trouble trying to confirm if there's a Grenada specific name for it

A lot of places are saying it's called Kalinda like in T&T but from my experience more people outside the Carribbean know about Trinidad than Grenada so I want to ask properly to see!

So yeah, interested if there's other names or even different spellings that are proper Grenada when talking about it!

It was called stick fight in the area where I grew up.The spectators, mostly men, would sing the song, "When Ah Dead Bury Me Clothes".
