From the 18th to the 20th century, Irish faction fighters were known as some of the most talented stick fighters in the world. Through this workshop we will explore the techniques of a traditional style of Irish stick fighting, Antrim stick from Northern Ireland. We will explore its footwork, parries and attacks as well as unarmed techniques and demonstrate how to approach a traditional martial art as HEMA.
Equipment: some sticks will be available, but participants are encouraged to bring their own if available.
