Thought I'd post something fun. It's a compilation video of the John Pertwee version of Doctor Who, who was a Master of "Venusian Aikido". It's really WW2 Combatives, but it's still fun to watch.…Continue

Recently new to the area I believe that if there is going to be Steam Fu, there should be different methods of how to dissarm, and down an opponent. Any suggestions on catagories?

I am interested in joining a club that studies and practices the art of Bartitsu. I am in the North East Ohio area, does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could go about doing this?

I have started a Meetup "like" group online, using Group-o-matic. Our first meetup will be at this year's Alabama Phoenix Festival. If you're interested in attending, please feel free to join the group at http://www.groupomatic.com/c.pl?c=13731746-csg6ztq9pz-958824&a=1 . Hope to see plenty of people there in their finest frockery! :)

It's nice to see some activity on this discussion! That's a fine-looking Chicago group - I love seeing the students in costume! FYI Professor Mark Donnelly will be teaching at Steampunk World's Faire again this year (May 18-21, 2012) and he will also be available for private lessons. And he's returning to NYC July 28-29, 2012 for another weekend of Bartitsu seminars for the Bartitsu Club of NYC, of which I am the founder. Anyway, let's keep up the historic martial arts discussion!

Darn. The commute would be terrible. This cow-town of Denver needs some civilizing.

Chicago just opened our very own 1900's culture gym which houses our local Bartitsu club. There are still places in the Winter class if you are interested: Bartitsu with Tony Wolf
