Celtic Combative Systems incorporates the better known Irish stick fighting (Bhataireacht) (http://www.subject-control-and-combative-systems.com/irish-stick-fighting.html) as well as the lesser known hand to hand (Gráscar Lámh) (http://www.subject-control-and-combative-systems.com/handtohand.html) (Gráscar Lámh Syllabus) (http://www.subject-control-and-combative-systems.com/hand-to-hand.html) and knifework (Scianóireacht) (http://www.subject-control-and-combative-systems.com/celticblade.html) of old Ireland, Scotland, and the islands.
Celtic Combative Systems takes the old Irish Martial Arts (Na Healaíonaí an Chogaidh Éireannach) which includes the two main streams of self defense (Féinchosaint); Armed Fighting (Troid Armáílte) and hand to hand fighting (Gráscar Lámh) and teaches them as I was taught them.
