Hi Allen, thanks very much for the report, and it's nice to hear that the Frazier interpreters are doing a good job representing Bartitsu. Your experience at...
... Hi Kirk, I'm really struck by how many blogs and forum discussions are referencing Bartitsu these days. The mentions are almost invariably positive and...

http://artofmanliness.com/2009/01/05/bartitsu-gentlemen/#more-250 A nice summary of Bartitsu (not 100% accurate, but whatever) on this site, which is well...
This might sound like a silly question, but by joining this Yahoo Group does that make me a MEMBER of the Bartitsu Society? I'm also interested in starting a...
Hi Arnold, welcome aboard. Yes, joining the group automatically makes you a member of the Bartitsu Society. The Society is a completely informal association,...
That's great to hear, Tony. I will definitely be asking a lot of questions. In fact I've been thinking of some today. I'll post them soon. So what do you...
Hi Arnold, that will largely depend on your martial arts background. What have you already studied? What sort of equipment/training venue(s) do you have...
I've had experience in a variety of martial arts. I have a black belt in Bicolano Kuntao (a Filipino unarmed system). I've also studied Kali, Silat, Muay...
Hi Arnold, that sounds like a strong background for Bartitsu training. FMA stick skills transfer pretty directly into the Vigny/Bartitsu cane defence style,...
Thanks for all the kind words. :) So I take it that Barton tried to avoid "pre-set" scenarios for training and trained to be able to react to whatever the...
Hi Arnold, unfortunately we don't know very much about how B-W set up his Bartitsu training. It evidently did include both sparring and pre-set exercises in...
Hi Tony, just out of curiosity are any of you guys planning to showcase Bartitsu in the east? I'm from the other side of the world (Singapore) and was...
Hi Philip, to be honest, we've never really pushed the promotional side of things. We wrote the books as fund-raisers towards being able to purchase a...
So this question is for Tony and those who are "Neo-Bartitsuka". Are you just expanding on the techniques taught by Barton-Wright, or are you coming up with...
Hi Arnold, the answer is individualistic and kind of also a matter of perspective. There is a general agreement that in order to call what you're doing...
... That's really up to the individual practitioner. To a certain degree, if you want to expand beyond the "Canonical" techniques, then you must add on in some...
List Members, Not sure if anyone else has stumbled across this yet, but AOL/Moviefone has the upcoming Sherlock Holmes film listed as number 14 on its 40 "Best...
Ok, I see. So just like the first martial art I studied, first you should learn the ORIGINAL techniques...THEN work on a more "individualistic" approach to...

Hi Arnold, yes, that's the general plan. The canonical curriculum is sort of the ko-ryu kata of Bartitsu, practiced mostly as a mark of respect for B-W's...
Hi Serge, thanks for the link. I couldn't open the PDFs, but presumably thery are French translations of Barton-Wright's walking stick defence articles. It's...
