Hi Chris,

it would be great if Tom could take a look at your presentation - he does these
sorts of things professionally.

You might consider adding some video footage to the presentation. There are
various fight scenes from the BBC "Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" TV series
available here -

enes/ .

Clive Phillipps-Wolley's essay on singlestick fencing is representative of the
style I'd imagine Holmes engaging in -
