St. Paddy's Shillelagh Class

𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐇 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐋𝐀𝐆𝐇 The Shillelagh is one of the most globally-recognized symbols of Ireland. The Shillelagh was the primary weapon used in Bataireacht – a form of traditional Irish stick fighting popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. During the 18th century, bataireacht was practiced primarily with Irish gangs called “factions” who often fought each other at gatherings and events. While most of these fights were purely for a sport, they eventually took on a political and violent edge as the years went on. Faction fights remained a common occurrence up until the 1840s, and the last recorded brawl took place in 1887 at a fair in Co. Tipperary. By the 19th Century, Shillelagh's fighting evolved into a martial art. Fathers taught their sons how to fight, and many young boys received shillelaghs as a significant rite of manhood. Some boys were educated in the ways of the Shillelagh by the local Maighistir Prionnsa or “fencing master.”
