I've got three blackthorn canes so I'm set for when I start the intro class but I've been on the lookout for blackthorn hiking sticks and the only one I've found that I really like can't be sent from Ireland due to the length limits of the shipping company. Anyone know of a good source for true blackthorn hiking sticks in the U.S.? Also, can a longer blackthorn be used as a fighting stick and does the length change the methods?

Hello all. We have been very busy lately (good busy!) Early next week we have some time put aside for filming some new content to be added to existing Classrooms. This is something we do on a regular basis at NO additional cost to you if you are in the Classroom. Peggy's Cove (and the lighthouse) in Nova Scotia is a world renowned location. We will be heading to Polly's Cove which is a hidden gem that looks towards Peggy's Cove and has stunning landscapes. Please consider doing one of our 2 Irish Stick Classrooms: $30 - Intro to Irish Stick - one time cost ongoing access with updates $50 - Intro - Intermediate Irish Stick - one time cost ongoing access with updates Cheers, Colin
