Training from Stick to Sword. Shillelagh (Bata), Single Stick & Longsword.
Irish Stick Fighting is a fast, tradition‑rich martial art built around the shillelagh — a walking stick turned trusted companion. It blends sharp footwork, fluid striking, and old‑world heritage, carrying echoes of rural Ireland’s clan culture and storytelling. Today it’s practiced as a disciplined, dynamic art that builds coordination, confidence, and connection to a living tradition.
Fiore Italian Longsword is the art drawn from Il Fior di Battaglia, the 15th‑century fight book of Fiore dei Liberi — a system built on fluid footwork, decisive cuts, and the elegant geometry of medieval combat. It teaches how to move with the sword as if it were an extension of the body, blending grace, leverage, and lethal efficiency into a martial tradition that still feels alive today.
