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