A Penny for Your Thoughts
I have been training for 12 years in Bataireacht and even longer in competitive HEMA. I love HEMA but born in Belfast, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, the stick speaks to a deeper part of my soul. Whispers on the wind telling us of ancient stories. The Shillelagh can be carried almost anywhere and as result resides in our hands more than any other “weapon” or training tool. Symbol, heirloom, walking aid, fighting stick ☘️

We have a Hema centre in Glasgow. The Vanguard centre. I’ll be starting archery soon there. Unfortunately they don’t train in Scottish dirk which I’m interested in but I’ve read that Irish Stick Fighting and Scottish Dirk the movement footwork and large motor skills application is similar except of course the dirk is a stabbing weapon so used differently. Other things I’ve done some training in Krav Maga , MuayThai and some Judo. These days I tend to look at Lee Morrisons stuff. Krav Maga been ruined in Scotland.

Start Your Path
Once you learn core elements of Irish Bataireacht (Stick Fighting) you will start to find your own “voice” in using the Bata efficiently and effectively. This clip shows some creative additional ways to strike. This is NOT from our training videos but rather a creative flow.
