There was an incident in Spain in 1807 where a coach carrying several seminarians from the Irish college in Salamanca, was held up on a lonely country road by two brigands with knives. One of the seminarians disarmed both thieves with an Irish fighting stick.
As I'm of Irish heritage I was told about the War Shillelagh, The long fighting stick that never had the thorns removed. It was like fighting with nails sticking out of a piece of 3 by 2.
I wonder was one of those priests john Kildale loughlin? He became a Bishop I think..he also was a spie for Arthur Westley (Duke of Wellington) during the peninsula wars

Great video
Just brought one, I keep mine in back pack, hi from Derbyshire...
👍🏻 Where did you get yours from?
My grandfather was from County Cork and carried one!
Ive one very similar...got it from a charity shop for a pound. Its a very old stick with the bole of the stick exactly the same. Are they of any value...it just feels like a weapon..also..do you think hurling comes from this tradition,?... what came first,the chicken or the egg. The Philippines have a massive stick fighting tradition❣️if in doubt..hug it out ©️
