    As you can likely tell from my voice, although my grandparents and some uncles and aunties are from Ireland, I am not so my pronunciation is somewhat off. Apologies for this but hope you understand. Thanks all!

      Much love the Irish martial arts knowledge emigrated with its people, so there is probably more knowledge abroad than back home in Ireland.
      Sword instruction from Irish masters has been found in Mexico and throughout the Americas. That knowledge would have been lost forever, without the children of emigrants.
      Sounds like something similar has occurred with stick fighting.

      All good man. The correct pronunciation is battar-rockt. Said no emphasis on any syllable. Battarockt. Technically with a soft cht as apposed to the hard ockt. But I don't know how to write that sound. I hope that helps. You should check out collar and elbow wrestling too if you like Irish martial arts. Great work though.

    I ve discovered this ancient martial art by a workshop at Paris with Maxime Chouinard who is the lead instructor af Antrim Bataireacht style.
    I lead a study and practice group in France (Dijon) and we 're 2 others groups on France, one on Switzerland and one at Dublin.
    Ask us for more details about our practice (a little bit different from the Doyle style presented here)

    Perfect! tried to look up Bo staff tutorials, all junk if you want to look pretty and spin a stick that's grea. But, this is the only actual practical combat stick fighting I've seen. I always loved the 36-in staff. I thought it was a bo staff. but apparently I created a sheilailey, I'm Irish so I guess I shouldn't be surprised

      @Edudivexo  5 місяців тому +1

      I am glad to see you found something helpful and practical to you, Bartitsu also has general practical approaches, potentially in need of update in some areas but they are meant for defence and attack not looking pretty.

      I did think that, but I'd never had an instructor correct me. I'll have to put a note.
