I emailed Sifu Doyle asking about Irish stick and he said they are going to release a DVD set. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

A quote from Glen Doyle.

Oooh, what a cool Christmas present. I'm an Irishman and a woefully inadequate stick fighter; it's perfect.

I finally got to do some Irish bata, single stick. It was very interesting. The shillegah is a very easy weapon to swing, but the blocks take a lot of work on timing. We did 6 strike drills for about 1 hour with and without partners, and then 10 strike drills solo. I was suprised by how light the shillegah are, but how dense and durable the wood is. Cool weapon.

Very interesting indeed. Very cool!

That looks really interesting. The good thing about it, is that the stick punch conditions your forearms Beat your opponent and condition yourself in one step!
