Bartitsu: Steampunk martial art!
A new article by John Reppion, “Baritsu, Bartitsu and the Jujutsuffragettes” is featured in the 6th issue of Steampunk Magazine. The hardcopy version of the magazine is also available here.
Mr. Reppion’s article is an entertaining and informative look at Bartitsu history and links to the Sherlock Holmes adventures and the women’s suffrage movement in the early years of the 20th century – recommended reading.

Outstanding!
I am a new visitor to your blog, and I am going to enjoy it very much, I think!
I was actually drawn in by this image– is it from the Steampunk magazine?
