Who are the Ecky Thump Elite? This is a question many people have asked, normally just before feeling a sudden pain in the head, vision full of stars then a heavenly white light until waking several minutes latter at the nearest revival without any of their loot.

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.

“That proves it, doesn't it? You said he was dead! It's like Chinese food, this is. Half an hour later you have to kill him again!”

~ The Grand Master of Ecky-Thump on Kung Fu

“I still shudder when I think about the warrior who came up behind me, and the thwacking he gave me with his pork sword.”

~ Noel Coward on Ecky-Thump
