We travelled to Manchester on the trail of martial arts in Europe and met Simon Keegan. Simon Keegan is the Grandmaster of Keegan Bata, a school of Irish Stick Fighting. In this interview he gives us an insight into his career and the history of Irish Stick Fighting. He talks about the origins of the Shillelagh, the history of his family, which is deeply rooted in the history of Ireland and the Irish immigrants in Liverpool.

Regarding the materials used, ash would make sense... hurleys are made from ash.

It's very interesting to see Germans have an interest in the Irish Shillelagh. In ancient times before the iron age, a very similar stick weapon was used in Germany. I'm a Gael born on Tyneside, England . Today I have just purchased a Blackthorn stick/ Shillelagh from Ireland. I will study these stick fighting videos. Greetings to you Germans. 👍

Mac Aodhagáin is pronounced as Mak Aigaun actually. Secondly, the history of Irish Bataireacht is much older than the 17th century.

[@sobudo.academy]

Thank you for your contribution. :-) YES we know that the history of Irish stick fighting is much older. Where do you think we should start?

Now we know where George Lucas got the Sand People’s Gaffie Stick idea from … LOL

Wo könnte man in Deutschland Irish Stick Fighting lernen ?

[@sobudo.academy]

Hallo! Wo man in Deutschland Irish Stick Fighting trainieren kann wissen wir leider nicht. Wir stehen direkt mit Simon Keegan in Kontakt und bieten ab Jänner Training in Wien (Österreich) an. Evtl. auch online.

[@hoggarththewisesmeagol8362]

Stick fighting took place all over Europe. Think of little John and his staff in the tales of Robin Hood

[@cooldaddy2877]

But Irish stick fighting, aka Bataireacht was different. The earliest Irish sticks were longer like a staff.

[@hoggarththewisesmeagol8362]

Little John's staff was long too. Sorry, that sounds vulgar
