Other than Percy Longhurst's suggestion that the enrollment and tuition fees had been excessive, my best guess is that Barton-Wright simply over-estimated the number of wealthy Londoners who shared his passion for exotic self defence systems. Also, his own professional interests had evidently shifted into electrotherapy, so perhaps he just let the Bartitsu Club die quietly. He did keep renting the 67b Shaftesbury Avenue space for some time after the Club apparently ceased to exist, running his electrotherapy clinic there and sub-letting for a while to a fencing instructor.

It's a pity that he didn't receive the recognition he deserved. But he made his mark on history. Very cool. It’s a pity that he didn’t receive the recognition he deserved.
