Shillelagh vs Coconut
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2022
- This is a video I have wanted to make for some time. This is testing a Shillelagh as well as some Irish stick fighting techniques against a coconut and seeing the results. As part of this test I also tried using a piece of rattan.

to quote broadsword and single stick published in 1892. " It is amazing the amount of knocks about the head a stout irishman can take with the shilaleigh. This is clear evidence of the thickness of their skulls and hence evidence that they evolved from a different species to the rest of us."
Ah lad your mad

I think you identify with a coconut.
Why did the Greeks and Aristotle call us the Sacred Isle and The ancient ones . Brit geno and propaganda… to demonise us yet we are and always have been their masters …
Incredible how strong a blackthorn is, interesting subject just subscribed thanks for sharing
Thank you for the support.
Good video! For my tomahawk chop tests, I have yet to find a satisfactory skull surrogate. In my experience, coconuts are too variable. Some are clearly far tougher than the thickest portions of a human skull. Others are blown thru like they were air. Pig heads aren’t great surrogates either-generally greater skull thickness and wrong geometry. Don’t know enough about the zombie head stuff to trust the structural properties are even close to similar. I do know from historic accounts that the Iroquois used pumpkins as skull surrogates but that was probably the closest thing they grew that “worked” for them
I have a contact for some synbone skulls which are used for forensic tests I will try them out soon and see how they hold up.
The zombie heads from Ballistic Labs and places like that are very expensive
@@comfortablynumb9342the real thing's are free
I always wondered how hard the shillelagh could hit... incredible!!
Thank you el guapo.
It’s safe to say you’re breaking bones or causing severe bruising with a shillelagh or even a cane.
It's always good to test out the cane though so you know it can do the job.
If you see the three "eyes" at one end of the coconut, notice the 3 lines that start between those "eyes", and run ro the other end of the cocunut..
Strike the coconut on one of those lines midway between the ends of the coconut . It will split the coconut in half almost perfectly! Try it!
As an Irish descendant from Florida, I am very excited for this video 😁
I hope you enjoyed it. I will be teaching in Florida next month too.
I'm a native born Florida man with Irish blood too. And Scottish, English, German, and 2 tribes of Native American. Now I live by the Chesapeake Bay and I'd like to figure out the best wood to use for making my own knob stick cane thing.
@@ramblingkerndo you plan on being around the Chesapeake Bay anytime soon?
@@comfortablynumb9342 oak works great if you can find it.
@@comfortablynumb9342 if there is a demand and people are willing to host then I can travel.
Maith thú! This is great stuff.
Rambling kern for lockdown as I couldn't get to a pub for few Guinness drinks celebrate St Patrick day I bought Guinness in off licence took it home got some fruit and my hand carved shillaglahs did bit of fruit ninja on fruit my foxes and hedghogs had a fruit salad with casualties lol i personally thoughly enjoyed the video 🍀🇬🇧👍🦊🐾
Ouch! That'll leave a mark! The sabre strikes were serious. I also like shaligh jabs really work, I've only seen them in books.
Yes we work a lot of different strikes in both styles so they give a lot of variety.
Bet the neighbours are quiet.
Haha I often wonder what they think.
I'm surprised by the rattan to be honest. In my experience it is very flexible and dissipates a lot of energy in the flex. At least compared to hardwood sticks.
Yes I was equally as surprised I'm not sure it if was just me hitting harder or just as a more solid piece of rattan it's hard to say.
Traditionally, here in my country, rattan is considered "deadly" material if weaponized. Flexible yet has a hard surface, make it a perfect whipping baton.
In 2000-2001 during a civil war/conflict in Celebes Island, one war chief of the christian faction (Advent Lateka) get killed after being hit by a rattan sticks from his opponent. The rattan stick wielder sheikh (Shaleh Assegaf) since then become famous as "Habib Rotan" meaning "Sheikh of Rattan".
GIVE EM THE CUDGEL!
Impressive. Most impressive...
Thank you for the support.
interesting video, thank you.
You are very welcome check out the rest of the series some good ones in there.
Back in Oz again. Sorry i missed you over there mate. Another time. We have a lot of coconuts over here😁
Nice one brother I hope you had a good time over here sorry I didnt get to see you things are a bit mental for me at the moment.
@@ramblingkern All good love your vids
What if i'm being attacked by a man carrying a bunch of grapes?
Like i'm the only monty python fan here... .
Nice video. Own one myself. Nice to know it works.
Haha nice one
African war clubs are very similar to a shillelagh.
They are indeed and even their use in some ways is done similarly.
@@ramblingkern Indeed.
Impressive
Have a look at the synthetic skull video that one gives even more insight.
What is the wind velocity of a sparrow carrying a coconut on it's back?
African or European?
Did you get any splinters or dents in the shilelah or the rattan?.
No I got some minor depressions in the head of the shillelagh. I also broke the shank of it on my most recent test video.
How can i make contact regarding the Tuesday night training ? I tried the website\ ?
You will find the link to it in my most recent video I can't post links in comments unfortunately.
You need a coconut secured to the top of a post.
Yes I plan on trying that soon I just need to figure out how to secure it on properly.
@@ramblingkern duck tape? Gorilla glue?
@@17tzujan glue could work if I sand down the skin and make some form of cup. I tried duct tape but used too much it created too much of a layer of tape around it.
Where is the link to your Patreon?
its in the video description mate.
@@ramblingkern it’s hard being an idiot but I do it well.

Ouch! And what is Pupper's name?
Buffy she is a good wee pup
Where does one get a shillelagh?
There are many options it depends where you live more than anything.
@@ramblingkern i live in the USA...so may have to mail order one. They are expensive.
@@lusolad they are but the process of making them takes 1-2 years and requires a lot of knowledge to do it right.
The forrest. Find yourself a nice piece of oak in the US, carve it. Cure it for a year up a chimney, oil it. Tada.
You have very good, fluid technique. Good to see that a tool as simple as a walking stick has effective self-defense capability.
Speculative question for you: I’m guessing that the average Irishman in centuries past did not necessarily have easy access to coconuts. Any thoughts as to something they might have used as a substitute target for testing their beaking/effectiveness skills?
I'm not sure I mean the most likely answer is other people although a lot of sticks were used for daily tasks such as cattle droving etc so could have been a multitude of ways.
@@ramblingkern African sjambok was used to herd cattle and kill snakes and personal defence I has one by cold steel 👍🦊🐾🇬🇧🍀
@@matesematese1572 yes I would love to get one there is a lot of similarities between cattle based societies around the globe.
@@ramblingkern aye I concur a sjambok is very painful experience great for home defence I also keep one my shillaglahs in every room stashed 👍🇬🇧🦊🐾🍀
The most common substitute was usually human skulls and knees.
How can I get one like would wonderful ☘️💚🍀🇮🇪😉
There are lots of makers if you are abroad the olde shillelagh shop is a good choice.
Exist muy lack of knowledge, arthropada & Doyle? Cheers
Antrim and Doyle are the two styles
I just carry a ball bat
Nobody plays baseball in Ireland so it would be an unusual choice to carry.
