Just a heads-up that I'm currently transcribing an 1890s magazine article concerning E.W. B-W, which should appear in the November edition of the Journal of...
Hi all, I was just wondering how many people here were actively working to re- construct B-W's art, and how they were going about it. Given that our knowledge...
There are a few of us attempting to recreate Baritsu. The rest are interested martial artists from other styles. We study the few articles about Mr. BW, early...
... I understand, but most of the other efforts to re-create extinct fight arts (pugilism, Marozzo's prese, 15th german longsword play, etc., etc.) are working...
I came from Japan. I am sorry. My English is not nice. I am very much interested in Baritsu. I found the interesting article with the magazine of Kodokan. It...
Granted, we have very little material from BW himself. The best we can do is use the material of his jiu-jitsu contemporaries, and Mr. Vigny's La Canne, to...
... it. I'm afraid my schedule has run away with me again; the article is only about 1/4 transcribed. Still hoping to have it up at the Journal of Manly Arts...
Better late than never, Tony. thanks again. As to the Bartitsu problem we discussed, what do you think if several jiu-jitsu books, circa 1900, all teach the...
Hi Will, ... several jiu-jitsu ... at least probable ... The "Pearson's" articles demonstrate 15 techniques; one trick with an overcoat that is probably drawn...
Here's a link to Craig Germenier's article on the fighting tricks of the French Apache. Don't know how much influence this may have had on B-W's art, aside...
Not to overwork the word, but that's AWESOME! Anything more I can learn about MR. Barton-Wright will be appreciated. -Will lone_wolf_92001 wrote:I'm very...
Excellent points, Tony, and I shall be more careful with my wording in the future. When I meant "humble" I was referring to his admitting he was not fully...
... There seems to be some question about which system he studied in Japan; he doesn't credit any particular school or teacher in his articles, and I've read...
Hi all, a member of this list has contacted me with an offer to help transcribe the Barton-Wright articles. I have print copies of his two "Pearson's Magazine"...
My typing is done by the firm of Hunt & Peck, but count me in, Tony. ... __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? HotJobs - Search new...
According to one of the articles on Barton-Wright, he claimed to have taken training in dagger fighting in Spain or Portugal during the 1890's. Can anyone give...
Hi Tony, I think that a possibility that Barton-Wright learned Tenshin-Shinyo Ryu is large. Those days, Tenshin-Shinyo Ryu and Yoshi-Ryu had big influence. ...
Hi Mako, ... Can you positively link Yukio Tani to the Tenshin Shinyo Ryu? I know that Kano was a member but I'm not sure about Tani. ... It must be a good...
There don't appear to be any specific records of B-W's training in boxing, but has anyone else been researching 1890s pugilism? I have a copy of E.B. ...
B-W can be justifiably heralded as one of the earliest martial eclectics, the spiritual ancestor of Bruce Lee and his many imitators who have attempted to...
... There's not much more to see, unfortunately. The overcoat trick includes a "right-handed knock-out blow in the pit of the stomach," but there's not much...
I have at least a half dozen Edwardian jiu-jitsu manuals, and almost none of them show any striking at all. It reminds me of Sherlock Holmes's comment about ...
