Which part? Shotgun beats a shogun with ease.

And I dont want to be a movie spoiler, but have you seen how The Last Samurai ends? All serves to explains why playing with sticks is a dead art form in the west.

Good man, post us up a copy of your shotgun license so. No? Well gosh I guess traditional martial arts still have a place in this world.

Good man yourself. The enemy most likely has a second hand which if he is a quick learner, he will not place on the wall. Also if player A was allowed a shotgun, license or not, he would put a decent hole in knife mans hand. Good luck in your war.

Of course you wont need it if you come up against a plank of similar thickness to yourself.

We've actually got some pretty decent traditional martial arts, roots in boxing, wrestling and kicking styles comparative to Mauy Thai. We also used to add all of them together in a competitive sport much like the Greeks did with Pankration.

Stick fighting as a style has a lot of history here but i wouldn't hazard that anything thought in any club is effective or not unless I have seen it for myself. A video just doesn't cut it.

From what i do know about stick fighting, there seems to be some stuff happening in that video that would be basic mistakes in other art forms though. I wouldn't mind see some full impact sparring being done.

I think the combined Irish styles of fighting being made into a modern martial would actually be interesting, I would love to see people participating in a Irish martial art.

Or better again, instead of only selecting the Irish ones, make a new art taking the best parts of all the different martial arts and mixing them somehow. I am going to be rich!

Now all I need is a name for it...

Ireland's real martial arts are in the wrestling field, where we have a huge tradition. Collar and Elbow wrestling is a style that was used up until the famine. Even post famine wrestling was still quite big due to travelling strongmen and carnivals. It has died out with the advent of the free state though, with some people keeping things alive to a small degree. The last hurah being in the 50's with a 4th place finish in the 56 olympics.

Hopefully wrestling can make a comeback here, and I think it will. The strange thing being a new sport MMA has sparked an interest in it again.

...So would you join or support Irish martial arts if they started up in your local area??

I have training for 16+ years in Wado Ryu Karate alone besides other systems of offensive/defensive arts - so I would have to say yes.
