Full contact stick stick fighting

2017-12-14 17:33:54 UTC  

The irish used to have a stick fighting martial art, mostly because they don't have much iron on the island.

2017-12-14 17:48:39 UTC  

`Originally known as the Irish: bata, or stick, the name shillelagh is an Anglophone corruption (phonological adaptation) of the Irish sail Γ©ille and appears to have been associated with the name of the village and barony of Shillelagh, County Wicklow.[2][3] The shillelagh was originally used for settling disputes in a gentlemanly manner β€” like a duel with pistols or swords. Modern practitioners of bataireacht study the use of the shillelagh for self-defense and as a martial art. Of the practice, researcher J. W. Hurley writes:

Methods of shillelagh fighting have evolved over a period of thousands of years, from the spear, staff, axe and sword fighting of the Irish. There is some evidence which suggests that the use of Irish stick weapons may have evolved in a progression from a reliance on long spears and wattles, to shorter spears and wattles, to the shillelagh, alpeen, blackthorn (walking-stick) and short cudgel. By the 19th century Irish shillelagh-fighting had evolved into a practice which involved the use of three basic types of weapons, sticks which were long, medium or short in length.[4]`

Irish HEMA.

2017-12-14 23:39:20 UTC  

Stick fighting with Hema techniques are superior

2017-12-15 00:38:04 UTC  

"Practical" If you don't carry a side-sword on you at all times you aren't white

2017-12-15 01:04:58 UTC  

I like the one with the morning star. Fucking sick.

2017-12-15 04:03:09 UTC  

@StrawberryArmada all techniques are interchangeable

Wear your armor 24/7 so you can properly adjust.

That photo is fake.

2017-12-19 01:53:04 UTC  

Women don't dress like that anymore, silly

2017-12-28 06:51:30 UTC  

Can anyone recommend a good website for purchasing well made sturdy renaissance era swords? I'm a fencer looking for a good side sword or rapier.

2017-12-29 04:38:42 UTC  

In one of those videos, a guy was swinging a fuggin hammer. Take one to the head and you'll die bro

2017-12-29 05:08:53 UTC  

I only spar with hammers and heavy maces

2017-12-29 05:17:53 UTC  

Decent stuff from lots of category

2017-12-29 05:19:19 UTC  

These guys make great rapiers

2018-01-03 00:03:19 UTC  

@Deleted User REALLY delayed response, but the combat looks really cool. There's just no military drill. They'd do much better with some line discipline

2018-01-14 17:04:06 UTC  

This wiki collects primary source materials on European martial arts

2018-01-14 17:08:27 UTC  

Skip to 2:00 to see some awesome techniques

2018-01-14 17:17:35 UTC  

Rapier and dagger is cooler but longsword is nice too

2018-01-29 02:58:34 UTC  

If anyone is interested in HEMA and would like to see it first hand you can find an event near you here.

2018-01-29 15:36:32 UTC  

@StrawberryArmada do they have a search feature or do I just scroll?

2018-01-29 15:55:14 UTC  

I don't believe they do, but you can use the "find on page" function to lookup your area

Does anyone know of a brand or company that sells swords for movie props? Working on a project where I will need some and if possible I'd like for them to look real and not heavy.
