The Shillelagh has become synonymous with stereotypes about the "Fighting Irish." The truth is that shillelagh fighting was originally a form of fencing which required training, discipline and skill. Often combining stick-fencing with boxing and wrestling, shillelagh fighting was a once a complex mixed martial art. Now for the first time "Fighting Irish: The Art Of Irish Stick-Fighting" describes and analyzes this fascinating sport, its essential nature and techniques. This authoritative classic contains clear cut descriptions of the most important offensive and defensive stick-fighting positions and methods. For the first time in history the basic concepts of Irish shillelagh fighting are laid out and explained for both the martial artist and the the interested reader.

Restoration Ministries had been active with E Raymond Capt and other Scholars, hosting and co-hosting their seminars, and distributing books from the 1980s. In 2000 Dr Stephen M B Knott was made Editor of the Ministry Newsletter. Dr Knott was appointed manager of the Celts Roots bookshop in 2003 (a business of Dr Warren Johnson).
We owe a debt of gratitude to Dr Johnson and E. Raymond Capt M.A. A.I.A. F.S.A. SCOT. (Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland etc) for their hard work, coaching and inspiration during our founding years. Since then numerous festivals have enjoyed this genre of Celtic books.
