@@WarriorAttributes there are no clubs out that way that do what we do but if you pop me an email we can always figure something out.

@@A_Moustached_Sock where abouts in the world are you mate? As for manuals there are none on Irish stick but there are some people that do online training. If you want more general stick work that I would recommend all materials by the dog brothers especially lonely dogs material.

@@ramblingkern Sorry, meant to include that. I'm in Texas. The only Irish stick fighting teacher I found near me was about 3 to 4 hours away, went to one of their classes and I enjoyed it, but can't reasonably make that regularly with everything else I do. Just thought maybe someone put together a contemporary source that's decent and might delve into the different styles as well. Part of my curriculum will eventually be to explore other HEMA related arts so I like to try to have a decent source I can point to where applicable.

@@A_Moustached_Sock no sadly no sources are readily available there has been too much shenanigans over the years when people have tried to do that so it has made people very wary to share material. If you want good sticks then Kombat instruments are your best bet over there. We are an Irish stick group but train and test what we do within the dog brothers framework so it makes our group pretty unique compared to others.

@@ramblingkern Gotcha, well either way I thank you for the information. I remember researching years ago and seeing the whole deal about being fairly protective of the specific styles. Was hoping that may have gone away as time moved on. Ill give dog brothers a look then, I appreciate the information. Sounds like the research will continues. Maybe someone will eventually get to doing a full online course delving strictly into Irish stick fighting, hopefully not costing a small fortune either.

@@A_Moustached_Sock there are people who run online classes but I don't know what the costs are.
