Well, not quite. Jean's style is light on strikes, favoring using the staff as a lever instead. Quite a lot of the initial lesson here is about gripping and moving one's hands along it to control the weapon, but there's still the inescapably brutal fact that Jean's idea of a basic defensive technique involves trapping an opponent's arm and shattering their elbow with a palm strike. Someone that goes through that won't be able to use their arm in quite the same way ever again.
