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...........
