The Celtic Martial Art Bataireacht

By Century Martial Arts

Martial arts have a huge variety of forms and styles. Although it's common to correlate the term with self-defense sports of Japanese origin, various kinds of martial arts developed all over the world. One example of this is the Celtic martial art bataireacht, also known as Irish stick fighting. This well-honed martial art was created through a trial and error process lasting thousands of years.

Century Product Review: Cloth Elbow Pads

By Guest Blogger: Kevin Nevels

By Kevin Nevels Today I’m reviewing the Cloth Elbow Pads from Century Martial Arts. This particular elbow pad is machine washable and made with knitted elastic and flexible foam padding.
