    New light on an old art....
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2018*

Mention the art of Irish stick fighting, and you'll eventually come across the name John Hurley, a man who has already made his mark with the publication of books which have helped to bring this nearly-forgotten fighting art back into the public eye.  Now, with his latest book,  Fighting Irish: The Art Of Irish Stick-Fighting, Mr. Hurley delves into the early texts and accounts which serve to provide the reader with an understanding of the roots and techniques of Irish stick fighting.STRENGTHSThe book is well-documented.  Hurley does an excellent job in extracting texts not only from the Irish, but also from the English, French, and German masters of combat through sword and analyzing the roots of their techniques and application, which he then compares to what was known in the Irish traditions of stick fighting.  Through this, Hurley develops compelling arguments for the roots of the Irish martial art, providing evidence with the similarities in instruction and technique usage and application.  Details are provided which prove to be especially useful for those experienced in the art of fencing, as they will find familiar ground in the presented materials.SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENTS:Hurley also includes several visual illustrations to accompany the written techniques.  While some of these are readily beneficial to portions of the book, other portions could have been improved with additional visual illustrations, perhaps even going so far as to include photographs interpreting the texts which could have been more directly related to textual instruction, which would greatly benefit those readers who are not as intimately familiar with fencing or stick fighting. While the textually-based descriptions of the techniques may be sufficient for those who practice fencing, they may feel somewhat confusing for a person more adept at learning through visual means.CONCLUSION:Hurley's book is an excellent resource for the avid martial art practicioner and curious amateur.  While the book would benefit from some more visuals, it is nevertheless an excellent title to read, one I would highly recommend.

Very interesting read and I love the background and the stick of wood with St. Patrick’s thumbprints upon it.
