I tip my hat to you in recognition for your sterling efforts in preserving Bartitsu and the name of Edward Barton-Wright. The Bartitsu Society is simply marvellous.G.M.

Based on your recommendation, I have placed an order for the charming little book. I am rather excited, I must confess!G.M.

I happened to have recently bought a copy of <a href="http://www.thebookpeople.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/qs_product_tbp?storeId=10001&catalogId=10051&langId=100&productId=255868" rel="nofollow">The Sherlock Holmes School of Self-Defence: The Manly Art of Bartitsu</a> - which is in actual fact a small selection of Bartitsu methods as found in Barton-Wright's writings (available in two volumes from the Bartitsu Society, I believe) - and would highly recommend it (especially as it can be had for such a paltry sum!)Bruce Partington-Planshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11336280062885272950noreply@blogger.com
