Can anyone tell me about Irish stick fighting?

Can anyone tell me about Irish stick fighting and other Irish martial arts?

 

I think you will get a better bunch of replies from Louie and Co. in the Western MA forum, so over it goes

 

Check out Ken Pfrenger's web site on the issue.

The art o' the Irish

Hi MDN...

Ken's the man for the Irish stick, check this list for previous discussions on the subject.

The Irish were also well known for their hand & foot fighting and collar and elbow wrestling. From memory I believe the word 'scuffle' comes from Irish fighters called 'Scufflers' who liked to get you down & kick you on the ground

I guess this method has survived, in the form of the skinhead "boot party"...
