The Irish Stick

I’ve been teaching people how to fight with everyday objects for a long time. Anything can be used as a weapon. One of these objects is a cane or walking stick.

  • It can give you the advantage of distance and range to keep you out of harm’s way.
  • It can be used as a defensive or offensive weapon.
  • Best of all it doesn’t even look like a weapon.

The Irish stick has been around for a long time. It is not always pretty. It is used for support and balance in everyday activities. It can and is also used as a weapon.

I found a place where you can find out and share knowledge about these sticks and how to use them.
