Throughout the centuries, the fighting Irish were famed for their skills in the arts of war, but we often forget that well into the modern era they maintained a strong tradition as pugilists, grapplers, and stick fighters.

This 4 hour course will cover the foundational principles of Irish fighting arts that translate to modern skills in boxing, standing grappling, and cane defense.

Gear recommendations- standard HEMA safety gear, longsword level as available, and for those wishing for higher contact training a fitted boil and bite mouth guard.
