Initial inquiry about training (no location given):
Hi ______,
Thank you for reaching out to us, and for your interest in training in Irish Stick. If you give me your location (city and state if you are within the US, or province/county/etc. if outside the US) I'll be happy to look at our list and see if we have any instructors in your area. If you haven't already, I also highly recommend joining the The Fighting Hares Faction Facebook Group. It's free to join, and has lots of great information as well.

When someone doesn't have a coach in their area:
Hello, _________! Thanks so much for reaching out to us! As you are probably aware, Fighting Hares is still actively growing our instructor base, so at this time we don't have anyone in your area teaching Irish Stick. However, you do have the option to train with Bernie Leddy, the Chieftain of the Doyle system of Irish Stick Fighting and the foremost Irish Stick trainer in the world, as he is still accepting students to train with him throughout the week via Zoom. If you're interested, let me know and I will reach out to Bernie with your information
If you decide to proceed with training with Bernie, you will also want to join the Fighting Hares Membership Page, as that will give you access to exclusive content that won't be available anywhere else on the internet. The first step to join is to complete the form found here: https://www.fightinghares.com/join-fighting-hares.
Finally, if you haven't already, we highly recommend joining The Fighting Hares Faction Facebook Group. It's free to join, and has lots of great information as well. If you have any further questions about training, becoming a Fighting Hares Faction Member, or anything else Irish Stick-related, please feel free to reach out to me or John Borter (we are both certified Doyle Irish Stick coaches under Bernie) at 518-755-3475. Thanks again!
