IOSP & Paddy Crean Workshop

Roses are red Swords are sharp Paddy friends may be far but we're never apart. HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! We have a gift for you this February 14th. Another violent cinematic love letter. To all who find joy in the fight, home at the Paddy, and belonging in our community, this is for you. WE GIVE YOU: MAYHEM 2026: The Search for Piglet Piglet's first Paddy Crean Workshop adventure was off to an exceptional start as they found themselves making new friends, fighting the good fight, and keeping warm in Samantha's pocket. That was until...Piglet went missing. Believed pig-napped, those who knew something weren't talking and Piglet's new friends were raring to beat the answers out of them. Samantha, frantic to find her beloved buddy, finds herself plunged into the fray as her search leads her into dangerous territory. Will Samantha survive the ensuing battle? Will Piglet be found? And will our one-take-film capture the epic talents of the amazing fighters and instructors at the Paddy Crean Workshop? #takemetopaddy #ClosingInOnPaddy #stagecombat #fightingforfilm #massbattle
