Bartitsu is an eclectic martial art and self-defence method originally developed in England during the years 1898–1902. In 1901 it was immortalised (as "baritsu") by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the Sherlock Holmes mystery stories.[1] Although dormant throughout most of the 20th century, bartitsu has been experiencing a revival since 2002.
It will consist of the history and origins followed by a class on the art. Please wear comfortable clothes (period or non) and bring along a stout Cane or staff.
