Happy Hogmanay... I've had a quick look at some of the bartitsu techniques on the Journal of Manly Arts site, and I have to say that the first demonstrated...
Apologies...I had not read the archive before I posted my questions in my previous post. It is rather time consuming on 19kbps with regular disconnections (I...

You got here just in time, J. We're at the very beginning. No one beyond the Royal Armoury and Tony are teaching it and that is mostly demonstration. We're...

It does...mine! I started the Forum out of the research for my novel, SOME DANGER INVOLVED. -Will hermit108 <geserkhan@...> wrote: I have to say that...
... It's not really fair to accuse BW...however it has to be said that, by our present day standards, about 25% of his demonstrations are just plain silly, 50%...
I think for a Neo-Bartitsu system,you could pick techniques or concepts from other arts. But for Classical Bartitsu,stick with the canonical sets. And study...
Hi all, My name is Christopher Umbs and I'm an instructor at the Martinez Academy in NYC/USA. My primary interest is 19th c. rapier and dagger after...
Excellent, I've only ever heard good stuff about the Martinez Academy! James UK ... From: Christopher J Umbs To: Bartitsu_Forum@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday,...
... I've met Maestro Martinez on two occasions. He is a gentleman. The first occasion I met him was at a Bowie seminar hosted by Col. Dwight McLemore. While...
Is there a 'cut pattern' that people are using for walking stick like Hutton has for sabre? When I use stick, I'm currently using my Italian/Fench dueling...
Guys Just posted two new photo's. They're both from early 20th Century newspapers, I'll put the whole article that goes with "Jiu Jitsu c1905" on my website...

Dear Gentlemen, It has been suggested that a poll is in order. I suggest first that we have a discussion. How "neo" should our syllabus be? Just the forty...
I base my stuff on five angles, a la some of the Escrima i've been taught. Outside of that I look at Fairbairn and Styers stuff James UK ... From: will thomas...
I think you need to think if you want it to end up as Reality Based Self Defence or stick to Bartitsu as an art? I'd rather it was more classical (personal...
will drop the group an email when it's up. the other photo was from an article to but can't make out all of the text as it's pretty degraded James UK ... From:...

Gee, I'm glad you asked. The jiu-jitsu techniques I would add in order to round off the throw and grappling would come from BW's three instructors, Yukio Tani,...
I thought Tony had the right of it last year when he suggested we keep the canon of 40 for classical Bartitsu and the neo would be a more individual or...
... Lang had a series of combinations that he recomended, iirc. When I do Lang style, it's usually against Bata style and for "pattern" work I stick with the...
... Personally I'd think it should be the 40 + what can be reasonably infered as being taught. Not that my opinion on the matter is worth anything. :-) Peace...
... Yes... now thanks to you, I've spent most of the afternoon printing off the Lang treatise that you gave to the Exiles :-) At first glance.. I like that it...
... Blame it on Ralph Grasso. He copied the manual originally and gave it to Joe (who is therefore equally to blame). I just scanned and transcribed it. :-)...
