Just what does a world class figure skater do after retiring? Apparently, he helps teach Irish Stickfighting!

A school (or faction?) headed by Glen Doyle,

www.ceadbua.com

and more about his stickfighting,

Anyone have more info?

I think that Irish stick fighting and the like is just proof positive that Martial arts just spring up naturaly in warlike societies. The Idea that India and China are the "sun source" is just short sighted and ethnocentric.
