Strange, but strangely likely

Hi, newbie here, not sure if anyone has done anything on this before, but having seen some traditional Philipino dancing(i think it was) and seeing how closely related it was to the stick fighting techniques that were trained, i began wondering if anyone else thought traditional Morris Dancing might originally have a martial heritage.

 

Cheers. And if you don't know what Morris Dancing is, ask one of the Brits, they should know.

Interesting thought - I'll have to do a bit of reseach into that.

 

We have a famous (In England anyway!!) Morris Team in the village where I live. One of the chief guys in the team goes to the same pub as me, so I'll have to ask him.
