Lancashire.
Ecky-Thump (pronounced ehk-ee thoooomp) is an ancient and traditional martial art originating from Lancaster, Lancashire in Northern England.
“Similar but superior to Kung Fu in many respects, it utilizes long, fierce-looking Black Puddings in place of more inferior Eastern weaponry.
Practitioners of the martial art are easily distinguished through their ritualistic flat caps and accompanying whippets.
Learned Historians and fans of sausage generally agree that Ecky-Thump began to take form in 1611, in response to the need for townsfolk to defend themselves against the Lancashire witches said to live in Pendle Forest.
Recent speculation has linked its development in part to the related martial art form of Ken Do’dd. ”

“Mighty is the word of the Master.”
