irish martial art

Martial arts in Ireland



There is one main type of martial art in Ireland though there are not very many kinds which have been originated there. This main kind of martial art is known as ''Bataireacht'' this is a word used for the various forms of stick fighting martial arts which are found in Ireland. This as is in the name is a martial art which uses sticks in battle and practice. These sticks are called the ''bata'' or '' Sail-Eille''. This martial art simply dates back to centuries ago when the irish used to use sticks as forms of self defence. Since these times the tradition of fighting with sticks in Ireland has been passed down from generation to generation or learned in traditional military schools. This form of martial art is still populer with the irish colture to this day all though much less so than previous years...........

Bolivian martial arts

Bolivian martial arts...........


Bolivia is a spanish speaking country which is in South America. This is a country which i would be interested in finding out about the main martial art studied because i have not heared of many martial arts coming from this country and it would be of interest to find out what martial arts do come from here.




The main martial art which is practiced in the country is a martial art called ''Tinku'' this form of martialn art is quite strange in its performance as it is a very old form of martial art and was originally a form of ritualistic combat. Tinku has a different translation in two different languages but both of these translations sum up the general idea of the martial art which are ''encounter'' and ''physical attack'' . This martial art is performed as a type of festival in which women will get together and begin chanting and singing while the men gather around  and proceed to fight the women will then circle them and continue to sing ajnd chant and ocaisonally a women will join in on the fighting. Tinkus are held in potosi during the first few weeks of may.
