Judoka enters Celtic wrestling tournament 28/06/2026

I had the honour of hosting the first North Eastern USA open championships for irish collar and elbow wrestling in Boston a few weeks ago at the NoFameGames and it was an amazing event. BJJ / Judo youtuber Josh Beam did a great video on his experiences with both Collar and elbow and Scottish backhold at the event.

@irishcollarandelbow and @sumo_na_heireann are teaming up for another workshop in these amazing grappling arts in Dublin this summer.

Collar and elbow wrestling is the native style of Ireland and this will be only two weeks before the Connacht championships at the @dagda_games

Sumo is the native style of Japan and has seen huge growth in Ireland with the first championships here this year.

We will be hosted by @theramblingkern in Dublin for 4 hours of grappling. The last workshop was sold out within 48 hours so book your place now.

ANNOUNCEMENT

After touring the USA together, teaching the ancient Irish traditions of stone lifting, stick fighting, and collar & elbow wrestling, David Keohan @_indiana_stones_ and Nathan Featherstone @theramblingkern are bringing these powerful traditions home.

This summer, we will travel across Ireland, visiting the historic five provinces of the Cúige to share, teach, and revive these uniquely Irish historic arts.

This is more than a series of workshops. It’s a return to our roots, the strength of the lifting stones, the skill of the bataireacht, the art of collar & elbow.

Two men, years of dedication, and one goal, to spark a revival and see these traditions thrive once again across the island.
If you are interested in:

• Hosting us for a workshop
• Taking part
• Being part of this revival

Get in touch now.

This will be something truly different 
Sticks and stones / bataí agus clocha are coming.
