Ethiopian Stick Fighting circa 1880

I'm including a Falasha character in an upcoming book that takes place in 1880 and I wanted to make him an adept stick fighter.

 

I came across the term Dula Meketa as being a stick fighting form practiced by the Orowa and was wondering if anybody knew anything more about this style, if it was in existence at this time.

 

Other candidates I'm trying to research (thanks to Milton) are Suri stick fighting and Nuba. Just want to know if anybody has an opinion as to what the most likely candiate for a Falasha (Beta Israel) Ethiopian in 1880 would be.
