@ Josh Artigue: Barton-Wright’s primary training in Japan was actually at the Shinden Fudo Ryu jujitsu dojo of Terajima Kuniichiro, in Kobe. We believe that he studied there for three years. He *also* said that he had trained with Jigoro Kano, presumably in judo, sometime between 1895-1898.

One small detail Jigaro Kano taught Judo not jujitsu. Its a common misconception that it was jujitsu but Kano Sensei began calling it Judo in 1886 and taught it out of the Kodokan. Kano Sensei sent many ambassadors of Judo around the world to teach Judo. Roosevelt was also taught Judo and received a brown belt in the art.

Yeah, it’s totally sweet – esp since my name is Bart. It’s like my own personal martial art. Anyway, I think Tony’s comment above sums it up nicely.

Readers interested in the predecessors of MMA may wish to look up pankration.

It has long been said that any complete Chinese martial art contains striking, grappling and throwing techniques. Most good instructors can demonstrate all of these, though they will favor one over another.

This is good topic and i like the old films. Cane fighting should be teache now-a-days not so much for defense but for style. I noticed that using a cane can be quite benefiticial with a sharp end.

I enjoyed the article. I had forgotten about Bartitsu and this article helped me get re-aquainted with it and introduced me to Tony and The Bartitsu Society. I’m looking forward to working with the material in the books and hopefully meeting Tony one day.
