Thanks to you all for continuing your contributions to the forum, while I've been laid up and working on a final draft of my second novel. You chaps are, as...
This is a big question you all have raised. I would agree with Tony's assertion that all Bartitsu begins with BW's original moves. However, I also agree that a...
FYI gents..... La Canne – The Walking Stick Method of Self Defence Vol. 2 By Craig Gemeiner http://www.savateaustralia.com I am not going to go into an in...
Hi, fellas. I think it necessary to come up with a workable definition of what Bartitsu is. I'm going to throw this out to all of you, and see what changes you...
... AFAIK, there are no cloak techniques in la Canne - but the cloak/coat was used in contemporary French self defence (defense dans la rue), based on tricks...
Hi Kirk, ... Smallsword, possibly - rapier, very indirectly via the smallsword - but either way, I would say that la canne was more directly evolved from sabre...
A listing of skills was included in a prior post on this forum , I would like to add my 2 cents worth - La canne - in regards to the stick work pertaining to...
dear gents, i have sent craig [ aussie savate] a copy of this article- --he will post some of the piocs and perhaps write a little something about it on his...

some great posts Ralph, thanks for the info and the leads. and yes i'm with you where Craig is concerned. i had the pleasure to meet him when i travelled in...
Hi Craig, ... Good to know, but again, if we are talking definitions of what Bartitsu was, I do not think it would be accurate to describe la canne itself as...

That's great news, Tony. I consider the Holmes -Moriarty fight to be one of the greatest fights in non-history! -Will ... AFAIK, there are no cloak techniques...
I'll take it! I hope to sit down this spring with all my early jiu-jitsu texts and extrapolate them. "Secrets" is great, however, and rather comprehensive. By...
dear will, if i get this to you, would you seriously consider using this as a basis for what methods of jiu jitsu we could use [ besides the pearsons] for...

I will take it with all due gravity. Question, though...I haven't seen Apollo's book yet, and he was trained directly by BW. What do you think of the...
