If any of the American list members could download the following for me and put them on Rapidshare or something I'd be appreciative. All have mentions of Kano...

YES! Next Friday the episode will be about Savate! From the clips I've seen, it looks amazing. Even stick/cane fighting! Be sure to set your digital recorders,...
... I've had the chance to work with Allen multiple times at the Cumann Bhata WMA Seminars. I heartily concur. Excellent instructor. I hope to be finishing...
Managed to get them in the end. If anyone is interested (I guess they're off topic 'really' for the Bartitsu list) email me and I'll send the articles over. I...
Hi James, glad you got them. I don't suppose these articles include any references or quotes from Kano on the jiujitsu situation in London during the early...

Interesting...the beginning of the end? I was in the airport in San Francisco the other day. Everyone was bing stopped for having in excess of 3 oz. of liquid....
... Just finished watching this episode, and I really enjoyed it. They showed Chausson, Savate, DDLR, and la canne. They included quite a few techniques -...
Thanks for the review, I'll have to watch out for the show if it turns up on TV here. Did they go into the history (late 1800s/early 1900s) at all, or were...
They had overviews of the history. It was a one hour show so they weren't too in-depth, but they included the history of savate amongst sailors, its use in...
One story I forgot that was briefly mentioned on the DDLR list is of a savate match from the 70s they showed clips of in the episode. This savateur (I know...
That's impressive, indeed. The name "Giles" rings a faint bell, in connection with Masutatsu Oyama (the founder of Kyokushinkai karate. I hope I get a chance...
As an exercise, imagine that Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle had correctly spelled the word "Bartitsu" in his Sherlock Holmes story, the Adventure of the Empty House...
I see the birth of a modern, Western comprehensive martial art, with both armed and unarmed kata, mixed with light randori. It would have perhaps have...
Good topic, Tony. I'd say there would be little change. We wouldn't be in an Edwardian-Era holding pattern, as tempting as that is to me. Walking sticks would...
I don't imagine that the development of Martial Arts in the Western World would have been all that different. I think that some free advertising by Conan-Doyle...
I can't help but think that WWI and WWII might have had a similar impact on the practitioners of Bartitsu as it had on the French Savate masters. We would...
The Theosophist pseudo-mystic origination sounds like a good way to promote the revived version of his art:) Joseph Chris Amendola <chris.amendola@...>...
hello everyone. I need help setting up a basic Bartitsu training program based around boxing and the basics of Savate while I save up the money to purchase a...
I think if Bartitsu would have been able to develop greater popularity, there would have been more practitioners, and thus Karate would not have been as...

So, to sum up: Bartitsu might have developed into a formalised European/Japanese martial art, roughly paralleling the development of Kodokan judo, but probably...
