Hi Jason, yes, but in the context of Will's question, I was looking for techniques in which the defender himself went to the ground, to the extent that he...
Any sources for Italian manuals on street savate, walking-stick fighting, boxing/jiujitsu/whatever combinations? I will try to track them down and copy/buy...
That's probably more Ralph and Craig's bailiwick, but my one suggestion would be to try contacting Lorenzo Ravazzini. I'm sure he could add some on the Italian...
As Jason recommended Lorenzo is up in Milan but worth visiting as is Gianluca who i believe is a little closer to where you are Tony. Cherpillo's Lutte and JJ...
I found some encouragement in the September issue of Black Belt magazine. A practitioner of the Nepalese art of Gorkha was attempting to study it from various...
I wanted to add that I was just looking over the list of members in my moderator file. We have 66 members. Woe! I remember when it was me and...well, nobody....
When I envision a manual, this is what I see: 1. A history of Bartitsu 2. warm-up exercises 3. falling and safety techniques 4. stances 5. 40 techniques of...
we must not forget the all important; 15. moustache locks and 16. grievous verbal assaults concerning your opponents linage and choice in fashion. these...
Of course, lest we forget.. As to art, I have so many ideas in my mind. A logo. A coat of arms for the school. One of those cool crests surrounded by a belt...
Yeah, aesthetics are very important me as well. A book should be a reflection not only of the information it houses but of the people who created it and...
It's all thanks to you Will! I'm happy to help where possible with the little knowledge i have. And the access to the British Library when i can get down...
like it Will. Will we be using original photos or new and updated ones? Or a mixture of both? As per the Bartitsu articles think we need illustrations to...

Guys I was emailed some bits to look for in the British Library re Bartitsu. Have lost these (sorry!!) so if you guys can let me know what to look for i can...
Ah, yes. The cloak. Thanks, Craig. -Will craig gemeiner <ozsavate@...> wrote: The jacket or coat - as an improvised weapon for attack or defense. Craig...
Will, I like the lay out of the manual. one thought is that you could convert it into a PDF file and take it to Cafepress.com and they would print it up and ...
Thanks for the tip, Kirk. We shall take it under discussion when the manual is completed. -Will azleeagle@... wrote: Will, I like the lay out of the...

I like the idea of a coat of arms for the school, i assume one has never existed before. Ill get to researching and designing a preliminary sketch. i would...
... You might like to refer to the coat of arms we had designed for the World Stick Fencing Federation a few years back - similarly, a C.o.A. for a modern ...
Its a great design. The decorative embellishments and compass rose make for some nice "bling bling." I believe that's the route that we should follow. I am...
All right, Tony, don't rub it in. And watch your waistline. I hear Italy is dangerous. -Will ... You might like to refer to the coat of arms we had designed...
... No kidding ... but I'm teaching seven hours of stage combat most days, so hopefully it will at least balance out. Oh, did I mention the classes were taking...
Cruel, Tony. Just cruel. -Will ... No kidding ... but I'm teaching seven hours of stage combat most days, so hopefully it will at least balance out. Oh, did I...
Hi James , Yes it would and a very large grouping of skills indeed , jacket solo, jacket & cane, jacket with couteau et poignard. I believe we see B W ...
I'm thinking motto would need to be something in English, maybe with a Japanese twan? Keeping with the whole "Bartitsu" combination of them both. Are we...
One thing I've always pictured is the word Bartitsu on the back of a gi, beginning with the first few letters in Old English script and slowly morphing into...
