I just had a look at the sparring video, this garment had shorter sleeves and even then you could see the sleeve getting hit with the plastic sword. Nuff said. Why did our Irish Medieval warrior ancestors dress like Classical Greek politicians in a land covered in forest and bogs, it is no wonder the Vikings played such havoc in Ireland. Now lets look at the Native American warriors and compare the typical plaines "Indians" that wore lots of clutter with other "Indians" such as the Ute and Apaches. Go to a youtuber by the name Wildwestfaces and click on his video from a few days ago titled "Guerilla warfare". about the Ute. The Apache were total minimalists. And if it were not for Apache traitors the US Cavalry would probably still be trying to find Geronimos band. But there were other Apaches who never surrendered. Look up "The Bronco Apaches." They hid out in the Sierra Madre Mountains of Mexico, from where they continued to raid into the USA right into the 1920s. Hollywood was making movies about Cowboys and Indians while at the same time real Apaches were carrying out raids in the USA.

The Irish were wearing this clothing 500 years after the viking invasions at that time Irish and viking clothing were incredibly similar. As I discussed in my video these were worn as a sign of wealth having large amounts of cloth dyed in such a valued colour was a display of wealth just like putting shiny rocks on your fingers. This clothing didn't seem to hamper the Irish in warfare and they were highly successful until much like the native Americans a force with superior numbers and technology slowly wiped them out through famine, warfare and numerous other means.

@@ramblingkern Yes, when I think of the early Medieval Irish I think of a TV show called Arthur of the Britons from the early 1970s. Apart from the modern horses they used it looked okay. But is a pity they did not use Icelandic horses. The Icelandic horse was brought to Iceland over one thousand years ago and it is believed to be the olders and most pure of all breeds. It was already an old breed when first brought to Iceland.

What an impractical item of clothing. Imagine trying to fight while wearing that LOL. I would rather animal skins- more manly too.

The first thing I have noticed in other videos people hold the stick with two hands and hit with jabs but when it comes to actual sparing you use one hand like Arns

That is one style of Irish stick that people see a lot more online called the Doyle style. We use that in close but at range we use another style. My club is the only currently working on both.
