Lets hope it continues to grow and be appreciated in the 21st Century. Well done everyone.

I am a life long martial arts practitioner/teacher and the history and philosophy is as important to me as the physical aspects. I have been familiar with Bartitsu for years as through my numerous books and research turned up lots of information on William Baton-Wright. I never would have guessed that an actual society would be started to bring the art back. I live in the United States in NJ. I would love to be involved however possible in this endeavor. William Barton-Wright was the first man to introduce MMA to the world a full century before Bruce Lee. Mike mp75ftw@yahoo.com First off let me say how happy I am to have found this sight.

Craig doesn't teach Bartitsu per se, but he is an expert instructor of la defense dans la rue, which is an eclectic self defence system that was popular in France at the turn of the 20th century. If you're particularly interested in reading about Bartitsu, I strongly suggest reading both volumes of the Bartitsu Compendium - you'll easily find them via Google search. You should also join the discussions on the Bartitsu Forum - http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/Bartitsu_Forum/ . Cheers, Tony Hi Jonny,

The re-creation is continuing apace and I'm sure the popularity will grow, although I doubt we'll ever get to the levels of jujutsu or the like :) Thanks Stuart.

It is a shame that it didnt stay as popular as want it once seemed as it may have been on par with jujutsu or other forms of eastern martial arts in the UK and alike Very impressive and informative site, good luck with reintroducing Bartitsu I am sure people would be very interested in learning it.
