Thank you for sharing your family fightingstyle and for keeping these treasures alive

Does anyone know of an Irish stick fighting school in Belfast?

[@konsyjes]

I feel like thrusts would be pretty effective, no?

[@sobudo.academy]

Yes they would be, please check out part 2, there this topic will be covered. 😊👍🏻

[@olafjagel5134]

Nice, I prefer the slaps also. But a little bit different

[@sobudo.academy]

Thanks for your comment! 😊 What would be the differences?

[@olafjagel5134]

@ kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpDbc2R9oaqNhLMsi=UWs7sX6GkeaU-Z9D Da sieht man es ganz gut. There is a good example

How does your style fare against Bataireacht?

[@simonkeegan5580]

This is my family system of Bataireacht. The single handed stuff is just the basics. We progress to two handed techniques which are hopefully in part 2

@@simonkeegan5580 If the attacker’s stick is heavy and the strike is strong enough to break a stick positioned horizontally (two handed grip) in defense, I have doubts that the “hanging guard” would be stable enough to deflect such a heavy stick. It seems that this “hanging guard” is stabilized only by the positioned thumb, which is why I’m asking-am I overlooking something? If you go offline to the attack line then it could work, but head on? I don’t mean this as criticism; I’m just genuinely interested.

[@simonkeegan5580]

​@@doylebataireachtit's a case of "all of these things can be true". Yes it's possible for a stick (or sword etc) to break in hanging guard, but less likely than in horizontal guard because the opponent's weapon naturally slides down it so you are not absorbing the force directly. But yes, it is used as a parry to receive the strike not a static block, so yes absolutely you would move off line also (counter clockwise)

[@doylebataireacht]

Well, I’m not talking about the stick breaking in the “hanging guard,” but rather that the entire block or parry, from a purely physical standpoint, can’t withstand significant force. Moving “off line” would therefore be the only way to avoid falling victim to the attack. However, I don’t see that “off line” movement in the video. There is just a „straight into the hanging guatd“… In my opinion, a horizontal two-handed block combined with stepping in to close the distance under the vertical attack is far more effective. As you probably know, we have this block in our system, and we test our techniques under very hard contact. Maybe we’ll have a chance to meet in Vienna sometime, and then we could test the different variations in hard contact to see how these techniques really hold up under pressure. It would be a pleasure! ;)

​​@@doylebataireacht this is why I was reluctant to put videos online for the same reason I don't teach people on Zoom. Because there isn't full context for people watching on screen. This was a course mostly for beginners. We begin with simple principles of single handed defence (which the hanging guard is). It is essentially a parry that is in 99% of stick and blade systems of the last thousand years, from Jodo, to fencing, to Tai Chi, to Iaido, to Escrima. It is a simple principle of position. It is not intended to be the answer to every scenario or the world's most powerful block. The people on the course understood the context. We moved onto two handed work later. And no, I have no idea what blocks you have in your style.
