still wish someone in Pictou county Nova Scotia taught that especially with lately theres a campaign for people trying to preserve the Scottish heritiage forgetting theres alot of us Irish here too (the latest one being all the town signs also including gaelic version of the town name)

i was shamefully unaware of this art until recently and as i am of Irish descent on my mothers side i look forward to exploring it further. i have studied stick fighting systems from other cultures but am very curious to study one from my own. no doubt it was passed down amongst my ancestors as well. in fact it was seeing a Shillelagh up close that led me here! something about it just "fit". now i need to find somebody to make me one..

@TheShamroqDude Dude, you're in NYC? So am I. I'm traveling to Boston (in a wk plus few days) to one of Glens students to learn. It'll be a 1ce a month b/c that's all the time I can afford. It would be good to have it here though.

Hey Glen, what does the symbol on the chest of the logo say? I see an S, F, A, D, O. I can get Stick Fighting Doyle

[kingbillyist]

That was bloody excellent! I practice Eskrima, but I want to know this!!!

[tnelsondowns]

This looks fantastic. I like the realistic power drills and the padded full-contact applications.

Great stuff.

Bleeeden Luuuuvly.

Absolutely incredible!  I wanna learn this art and I'm gonna!

[TheShamroqDude]

Sifu Glen, your Da would totally be proud for how you absorbed what he taught you and evolved it to what appears to be a very effective fighting art. I didn't think anything out there would be as good as Filipino stick fighting but what you teach seems definitely on par with that. I hope to be your student in the future. Think you'll bring Cead Bua to NYC? :-)
