Hidden in the shadows of Ireland’s ancient past lies Bataireacht, a martial art of shillelaghs and skilled defiance. Once a symbol of resistance, honour, and survival, this ancient fighting style was nearly lost to time, suppressed by colonisers and obscured by history. This video reveals how shillelaghs became weapons of rebellion, the heroes who wielded them, and the modern revival of this lost craft. A gripping dive into Ireland’s rich and resilient heritage and across the pond to the United States, where the Dead Rabbits from the Five Points continued the tradition.
Get ready to learn about the true story of BATAIREACHT.
