Never heard of it before now, but it looks like it could be fun. As with any martial art schools vary and different people have different preferences, so try it and see what you think.

"Irish" stick fighting?

We call them Morris-dancers!!!

Sounds a bit Irish to me!

Disclaimer: apologies if not politically correct but it was the only thing i could think of!

When an opportunity like that presents itself it's best to take it. Irish stickfighting is pretty well documented. It's not something he made up.

The "Whiskey (ueschi) stick" sounds like a more progressive form.

Yes, you get better as you get progressively more drunk

Are there any Scottish weapons arts not counting swordmanship,dirks, highland games, boxing wrestling ect. What about the wierd as weapons like the deer horn daggers and halabreds used in the opening battle sequences of brave hart.

Seriously are the any scottish stick arts or are they too busy doing some first class hooliganing 24/7 so they don't have the time

Mike Myers:"give me a kiss"

I wonder how similar this art is with Eskrima; r u sure ur people didnt copy this? =)

I knew an irish cat who carried a knotted piece of wood with one of the knots sawed flat(the end one, like a hammer), It had an irish flag, and some green ribbon hanging off of it and he called it a shylock???? Cant remember, but anyway he had one technique..... in a road rage scenario, you pull up at the lights, run up to your opponent and repeatedly smack it into his face area until he bleeds and you knock him out. Jump into car and proceed to drive off very quickly.... Then go get drunk and repeat the technique.

Thats my only experience with Irish stick fighting! LOL
True story... He even gave me a history of the weapon, but I've heard somewhere before that you can't trust an Irishman.....especially one willing to smash your face in for cutting him off in traffic.

I've trained with Sifu Glen Doyle and his family style of Irish Stick fighting is very different from Filipino stick fighting. Glen is also an instructor of Lapunti Arnis and will be happy to show the differences between the two. For starters the bata in the Doyle family style is held two handed (somewhat like a quarter staff), and alternat "jabs" and "crosses" can be fired by releasing one hand.

Sifu Doyle is a fantastic instructor. If you check the forums section of our Trinity website you'll find a review of a 2hr workshop he did for our group.
