    How many different forms of Irishstick fighting are there? Are they taught in many schools? Are there any books on the subject?

    Thanks :D

    Irish Stick!

    Hi Tank Gurl

    There are four main players in Irish Bata, Gen Doyle, Ken Pfrenger & John Hurley and John Ramsay in Ireland, each with their own interpretations.

    For books on the subject check John Hurley's website
    http://johnwhurley.com

    Ken has additional info and video clips at http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/4933/shillelagh.html

    Anyone not familiar with Glen's style can see pics at http://www.geocities.com/glendoyle/bata/

    I don't think John Ramsey has a website up and running yet but when we trained together he was talking about putting something in print and filming techniques..... Watch this Space!!! :Angel:
