Description
Explore the world of Ireland's indigenous fighting arts. Gaelic Martial Arts delves into the traditional combative systems that were once endemic to the island, tracing back millennia to the Fianna and Fenians. These ancient practices included Boxing styles, Wrestling systems, and Stick Fighting techniques that were fought ritualistically and trained from a young age. The reputation of 'The fighting Irish' was not earned lightly, as these martial arts traditions were often fought in dangerous bouts with great injury or even fatal consequences. The fighters trained for years to master their chosen art, competing with pride and honour. This book offers a journey into the mysterious world of Gaelic Martial Arts, uncovering the history and significance of these ancient fighting systems. Discover what lies within this fascinating world of Irish martial arts, where tradition and culture meet combat and competition.
