Sho-ju Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 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. http://www.geocities.com/glendoyle/bata/

Sho-ju Posted October 27, 2003 Author Posted October 27, 2003 When? Glen wrote that he would be finished it in a couple of weeks. As soon as I get his email saying its done, I'll let you know.
Sho-ju Posted November 16, 2003 Author Posted November 16, 2003 The final edits should take about another 30 days... I'll make an official announcement before the holidays. A quote from Glen Doyle.
Don Gwinn Posted November 16, 2003 Posted November 16, 2003 Oooh, what a cool Christmas present. I'm an Irishman and a woefully inadequate stick fighter; it's perfect. ____________________________________* Ignorant Taekwondo beginner.http://www.thefiringline.com
Sho-ju Posted November 29, 2003 Author Posted November 29, 2003 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.
Treebranch Posted December 1, 2003 Posted December 1, 2003 Very interesting indeed. Very cool! "It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.""Lock em out or Knock em out"
empty_cup Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 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! You must empty your cup before you can fill it - Zen saying
